Pregnant porn star Lana Rhoades wants videos deleted to have 'dignity' back

Former porn star Lana Rhoades is going the Mia Khalifa way. Just weeks after announcing her pregnancy and due date, Rhoades says that she wants all her old scenes deleted.

The 24-year-old, who is an outspoken critic of the adult industry and has often opened up about her regrets filming porn, once again spoke about the lasting effects it has had on her life and mental health. This time around, she was on Harry Jowsey's podcast 'Tap In' when Rhoades also spoke about motherhood and whether she is worried her child will go on to see the video content.

During an appearance on Jowsey's 'Tap In' podcast, Rhoades said that she wishes she could go back and delete her videos. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the rights to do so. "A lot of the videos I have no rights under, otherwise I probably would have deleted them all by now," she said. When asked whether she regrets her time in the porn industry, Rhoades said, "I do. I honestly tell people, if I could go back, I would give up everything to have my dignity and respect back, and for people not to be able to see me in that way."

Rhoades posted a snippet of the conversation, where she talks about motherhood and stigma against sex workers, to her social media: 

Rhoades has been applauded for her latest appearance. "Hey Lana - don’t let the opinions of those internet trolls get to you 💡 It’s sad that they have nothing better to do than roast you ❌ Same to anyone else dealing with haters - SCREW the haters 💯 Keep your head up 🌍" one user commented on her Instagram post. "You’re gonna be an amazing mom Lana 🥰" another added. Another user added along similar lines, "I love you my friend! And you will make a wonderful mother! That child is so lucky!! ❤️"

On Twitter too, some users had kind words to share with Rhoades. "Ur gonna be an amazing mom, u have done so much to live this successful life with all your businesses and ur podcast, so happy u got to this amazing place and u get to be the mom u have always wanted to be, so much love queen."

Some others were, well, quite blatant in their responses. "Bro you can’t get rid of your footprint you made online doesn’t matter how much rebranding you’ve done, the kids gonna find out lmao." Another tweeted, "@LanaRhoadess just listened to your podcast. With all due respect your entire brand and fame is built on your porn work, which is fair enough, but you can’t now just pretend you don’t use the people that were fans of you to generate income now." By Rhoades' own admission during a conversation with YouTube channel BFFs with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, she is a "multi-millionaire".

This isn't the first time that Rhoades has criticized the adult film industry. She has previously openly discussed her experiences and just how much trauma that caused her. Earlier this year, she opened up about one of the worst things she has ever had to do as a porn actress. During a conversation on the 'Three Girls One Kitchen' podcast, Rhoades revealed how she continues to struggle with the mental impacts of one particular scene.

She said, "One of the worst... honestly, I feel like I'm in denial sometimes and I can't accept some of the things that I've done. There was one thing that, ya know, I tried talking to a therapist about before something that I had to do for a scene that was really rough for me. Basically, this guy had a bowl and he, like, gagged me until I threw up into it and he, like, p***ed in the bowl, and during the scene he asked me to drink it, and I didn't know how to say no."

"It was one of the most disgusting, foul scenes."
