Crystal DiGregorio: Porn star-turned-pastor makes a U-turn, revives OnlyFans page
If one looks up Crystal DiGregorio on the Internet, there are scores of uplifting and motivational stories on her, about how faith helped turn around a former porn star's life. Once known by her alias Nadia Hilton, Crystal DiGregorio was an adult film star who became a pastor. The New York mom headed a small-town church and turned her life around. However, as per the latest updates, she has revived her OnlyFans account and seems to be heading back to her former livelihood.
Her latest decision exposes the stark reality of society, as she revealed that her life as a pastor was no cakewalk. She had to endure a slew of judgment and criticism from her parishioners, so much so that she decided to return to the sex film industry. A childhood sexual abuse survivor, DiGregorio recently opened up about her decision, saying, "I decided to step back from all that after seeing a lot of judgment from church people. Very judgmental. I’m not in any particular group anymore."

A native of New York, DiGregorio faced sexual abuse as a child from two different people. She admitted that the trauma from her childhood abuse had pushed her toward the adult film industry. At the age of 16, she moved from New York to Los Angeles and started acting in porn movies. During her decade-long career, she starred in over 100 films and earned $300,000 annually. At one time, she owned a mansion in Malibu with a cook, gardener, and a maid and drove a Ferrari.
However, after spending nearly a decade in the industry, Gregorio left everything behind to join the church and married New York pastor David Bassette and became a pastor herself. She also became a mother to their son Carter. Together, the couple started the New Beginnings Christian Church in New York.
Her fairytale story, unfortunately, did not have a happy ending as she got remarried and drifted away from the church. She is still a believer but has decided to embrace her earlier self and return to pornography through OnlyFans. Ironically, she shared in a recent interview that her OnlyFans subscribers are "pretty respectful" and she does not face many issues with their requests for personal videos and photos. “After porn I did a 180 and became a pastor, and now I just want to be me," she shared in a YouTube series "Brand New Me."
Presently, her OnlyFans profile sports her adult film name Nadia Hilton and has over 47 posts. Her content can be accessed with a subscription of $20 per month. Now a mother-of-four, she still visits the church but is not directly associated with it anymore. "Doing OnlyFans as a Christian, I know I’m going to have criticism. But the way I look at posting adult content is that God brought me into this world naked. Posting pictures naked I don’t think is this big huge crime or, you know, this big sin. I’m happy being in the middle. Not all porn, and not all church," she clarified her stance.
