I was actually going to read this article before your idiotic dig at her weight. Pathetic. Do better.
After Lubben recently appeared on Dr. Drew, she told the Weekly she asked Pinsky to tap her for his next Celebrity Rehab — unlikely since it doesn't focus on people who have already quit drugs and alcohol.
One critic even parsed Pink Cross' tax returns and posted the results on YouTube. The allegations were fairly mild, less-than-gotcha findings.
Pink Cross isn't the only porn-star rescue group in the world. But for now, it's the most famous.

Porn's HIV Case Didn't Originate On-Set
Porn's Statewide Condom Law Dies in California LegislatureNoted ex–porn star Crissy Moran is with another group, Treasures, which reaches out to porn performers and strippers. She won't bad-mouth Lubben as some former stars do, instead saying, "We're not anti-porn. We are pro-women. We might do outreach kind of in the same way, but we're a lot different."
Hath Hell no fury like a multibillion-dollar industry scorned?
Diane Duke, executive director of the industry's lobbying group, the FSC, says it has not backed or organized any of Lubben's critics.
Whiteacre says he's spent about $1,500 of his own money to produce the videos about Lubben, without any support from the FSC.
"My understanding is that she blames all of her life's ills on the adult-entertainment industry," Duke says. "I wish her well. But at some point she will have to take responsibility for her life choices — one of which is making a living demonizing the adult-entertainment industry."
Whiteacre charges that Lubben is just a manipulator who "found a new way to hustle."
For all her faults, however, Lubben is genuinely likable. She never backed down during Whiteacre's ambush video debates, like the one that unfolded at the puppy-rescue event, or a videotaped confrontation with Whiteacre last year outside the Sunset Strip's Rainbow Bar & Grill.
She freely admits her faults and mistakes in her book. She greets her harshest foes with a smile and a hug delivered by her solid, almost mansize frame.
At Porn Stars for Puppies she even poses, smiling, and lets herself be photographed with a girl wearing a "Shelley Lubben Treats Porn Stars Like Animals" T-shirt. Like many a former porn star, Lubben is always made up, always in heels and often gracious. She's endearing despite a messy past and a contentious present.
Girls Against Porn's Tiffany Leeper, one of Lubben's real admirers, says she's a godsend.
"These women she helps rescue, they're saved now," Leeper says. "They're out of the industry, they're having success, they're happy."
Danielle Williams, a 23-year-old ex-performer, recalls how she went to Lubben for spiritual guidance. "I think it's positive, the things she's doing for broken people," Williams says.
Lubben, of course, couldn't agree more:
"We put our hands on them and pray for them," she says. "We love these girls."

Sharing her story
Here is another video of an ex-porn star. She has a very similar testimony to Shelley Lubben.
http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhMGa7Fz10x16Z6576
I'm curious to know if the people who approached her at this event, and posted the videos on YouTube got permission from Shelley & Garrett Lubben to talk to them? As far as I am aware of, California is a two-party consent state, and you must have the consent of all parties involved before you record them if the conversation is a private.
http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/california-recording-law
My question is, did they get permission from Shelley and Garrett to record the content they posted online?
I think, there may be a possibility that the recordings they posting online may be illegal. Lubben should challenge it legally, if no permission was granted.
You'll never outlaw porn and if they managed to they'd just find other ways of getting it, illegal and unregulated ways which would actually further accomplish what Lubben is against spreading AIDS and other STDs. It's like the prohibition which didn't succeed and actually made things worse rather than better.
There are plenty of those working within the porn industry that have documented often emotionally abusive dynamics and physically painful acts, listen to common sense from Sharon Mitchell/Bill Margold who have decades working within the industry, read all the memoirs you can and watch documentaries not sponsored by corporations making money from porn...any man that knows anything about a woman's body should be able to twig multiple anal pounding as shown in porn is not going to bring their lover to the brink of orgasm and has everything to with making an insecure male ego in a more threatening world feel a bit better, that kind of roughness would physically and emotionally hurt those not desensitized or numbed out by past experiences or substances....As for discounting survivors stories, anybody who has worked in law enforcement, social work or psychiatry is familiar with the abusive dynamics of the sex industry...it's obvious...we pick up the pieces daily....This does not mean there aren't people that choose to work in this field, enjoy their jobs and are all victims of abuse...however it is a fairy story to argue these things don't exist in the current porn industry which has little mental health screening or occupational practices in place to prevent abuse of vulnerable people who may have addiction problems. Grudzen et al's research article Pathways to health risk exposure in adult film performers. J Urban Health 2009;86(1):67–78. [PMC free article] [PubMed] objectively outlines this reality. Free speech does not involve stalking, harassing and bullying those that are just trying to tell their stories and experiences and if what is written by current sex workers about ari bass is true and is a flavor of the mechanism of the porn industry, there seems to be more reason to be concerned about the industry and more need for scrutiny than previously thought.
Commenter "Manhattan Call Girl" is sex work prohibitionist mouthpiece "Stella Marr." She claims to have had a nearly ten year career as a NYC escort, yet no one from that community has ever heard of her. In the words of blogger Maggie McNeill, Stella "has created a tissue of lies along the lines of Melissa Farley’s bogus 'prostituted women' narrative so as to support the criminalization of men and the infantilization of women."
As demonstrated in her comment, below, "Stella" is another hysteric who uses a "victim narrative" tactic employed by authoritarians (criticism = bullying) while repeating a familiar logical fallacy rooted in Marxist analysis (if you criticize her you must be a "shill" for the institution she opposes). In her universe, there is no such thing as a consenting sex worker -- they are all victims, by definition -- and thus any former sex worker is a "survivor" (unless, of course, they oppose her view, in which case she calls them "pimps").
Ari wants to rewrite the laws so he can get away with his crimes against society and women.
Tantric sex, on the other hand, now there's the cure for all our traumas, eh? I'm sorry, but I can't help but point out how many alternative or holistic health practitioners are even more fraudulent than anyone claims Shelley Lubben to be.
Michael has harrassed and cyberstalked trafficking/prostitution survivors, sometimes collaborating with 'sex worker activists' who are actually white male or female pimps -- the proof is in the links http://secretlifeofamanhattancallgirl.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/how-the-sex-industry-threatens-survivors-speaking-out-while-pimps-pose-as-sexworker-activists/
A good start would be to get the kiddie porn perverts out of the state legislature.
"it seems to me the best way to reduce porn is to reduce child abuse" I'm at a loss to how that even makes any sense.
You & your pet chimp bring it on Ari. This dog fights back and bites HARD(*CHOMP!*CHOMP!)!
Just so everyone knows, it's not my intention to start this happy horseshit all over again. I said I'd get the source. After rethinking some of the points that were made, specifically the legality aspects, it seems to me the best way to reduce porn is to reduce child abuse. Maybe you won't agree there's a connection, but you'll probably agree child abuse should be reduced regardless. This approach seeks no change in laws making pornography legal for consenting adults, and does not go against freedom of expression. I'm getting ready to enjoy a vacation, so don't reply. Best wishes to all of you, in spite of our disagreements.

Let's talk about inbreed Guess Which Group Suffers From The Most Gentic Disorders? Genetic Disorders It is estimated that everybody carries 6-8 disease-producing genes. If both the mother and father carry the same disease-producing gene, their child may be affected by an autosomal recessive genetic disorders. In autosomal dominant disorders, one gene from one parent is enough to make the disease manifest. Many racial and ethnic groups, especially those that encourage marrying within the group, have genetic disorders which occur more frequently in the group. Jewish Genetic Disorders Jewish Genetic Disorders are a group of conditions which are unusually common among Ashkenazi Jews -- Jews who have ancestors from Eastern and Central Europe. These same diseases can affect Sephardi Jews and non-Jews, but they afflict Ashkenazi Jews more often - as much as 20 to 100 times more frequently.

No federal appeal, Anthony. It's a matter of interpretation of a state constitution. Only if the section was addressed to limiting or impinging upon federally protected rights would there be a federal issue. States are free to grant added freedoms/protections to its citizens. In cases such as this, the state supreme court has the final say.

Yawn all you like, my little sweaty, bloated, drunken, self-important, cloying reprobate.
You write: "There's nothing to verify that AIDS was contracted off the set, anymore than on the set." With respect, you quite simply don't know what you're talking about. Porn performers are tested every 28 days or less. If ONLY ONE performer who worked in a number of scenes tested positive for HIV then that MUST mean he or she contracted it off set. For there to be a transmission, there HAS TO BE at least two infected parties -- one who passed it and one who received it. On top of that, viral load and sequencing tests scan pinpoint the specific strain and the time of infection. Since, through the magic of video, one can confirm precisely when the sex scenes in question were shot, this is as close to an exact science as one can get in the worlds of epidemiology, microbiology and bio-statistics. You also write, "Shelley's story doesn't ring false." Ms. Macmillan, you are entitled to believe in Santa Claus if you like, but the fact remains that NO ONE from Shelley Lubben's past (except for people she employs or who have the surname Lubben) remembers events as she does -- including her devout Christian, anti-porn family and her devout Christian anti-porn former associate April Garris. Finally, you write: "She is the only one who describes her demons, mental contradictions, rescue efforts, and the porn industry's demons in black and white." I guess you've never bothered to watch 'The Devil and Shelley Lubben'... The case against her is pretty black and white: in most instances Lubben herself has made the most damaging case against herself, with her constant revisions and additions to her fictionalized life story, and her endless contradictory statements.
Shelley's story doesn't ring false. She is the only one who describes her demons, mental contradictions, rescue efforts, and the porn industry's demons in black and white. It's her critics who present a 'please drink responsibly' grey area type language. Not that crashing on the roads and dying 'responsibly' from drunk driving feels any less painful. Her critics don't disagree with her. They just sugarcoat their claims. There's nothing to verify that AIDS was contracted off the set, anymore than on the set. There's just heresay. But Shelley's critics admit there was AIDS among their 'stars'. And why would the L.A. Weekly offer her wine, and say that it's good and bad at the same time, indirectly? It's 'cool' that Ron Jeremy considers something to be not true and a fact, at the same time. But hey, I guess we all float on the magic carpet ride of cloudy word usage...that is..except for Shelley. If you plan not to post this..please do so, responsibly. The edit button is my friend.

I support the end of the industry, at least as we know it, but only by legal means. No need to prove to me scumbag Donny Long was responsible. Still, I'll look into those videos you mentioned.
In Greg/Mace's video (which insanely claims that I -- one of the people who helped bring down PornWikiLeaks -- was in fact the man who created it, even though it is a matter of historical fact that Donny Long created that hate site), he himself cites two of Lubben's underlings (one is Pink Cross' VP) as sources. And now I have Garrett on video admitting that Mace got my private info because someone gave it to Shelley. That video may be found on the 'anthonyjkenn' YouTube channel, under the title (not composed by me) 'Michael Whiteacre Destroys Garrett (Hubby of Shelley) Lubben - -Part 1.' Another video, on the 'jordanowen42' channel, dissects Greg/Mace's video (which YouTube removed following my complaint): 'Response to DJravenwolf, loyal Pink Croes defender.' Yet another video called 'Doc Dropping Twat Fails To Fool Anyone' on the 'adroitism' channel has more info. Decide for yourself.
If what you say is true, you deserve justice. No matter how hard a game of hardball is played, the procurement and use of personal information against anyone who does not want that information known to the public is unacceptable. I defended the rights of porn performers during the PornWikileaks scandal for exactly that reason.

This is America. She is free to express her opinion. The woman is not hurting anyone. If you don't like what she has to say, don't listen. Simple as that. I would think that the porn industry would be more concerned about the DEA.
@sistersledge111 The majority of those posted were filmed by an attorney. Yes, he knows enough to get permission on camera prior to recording and publishing.
I'm not surprised you're at a loss, considering you're also biased against EMDR therapy which when used by a certified practitioner actually works wonders for sexual abuse survivors.
No, a-hole, my next production is set in Omaha. I don't think you'll like it.
Name a time and place. I'll even have cameras there to capture every glorious moment. The winner gets the video.
@Tbpropsfx Except that she IS hurting people. She is hurting Christians who mean well by fleecing and defrauding them. She is hurting industry performers by claiming to be a Christian minister, and then treating them abusively all in the name of God, turning them off further from any interest in the real thing. She is absolutely hurting people.
