From Porn Star To Pastor!

THREE years ago, Crystal Bassette was a successful porn star, featuring in over 100 films and earning around over R3.9-million a year. But after 10 years in the industry, Crystal from Clay, New York, turned her life around after finding God and marrying a pastor. Falling pregnant at 16, Crystal was determined to give her son the best life she could. However, after moving to Hollywood from North Carolina she realised that living in a safe neighbourhood came with a sky-high price tag.

Following a few years of modelling, feature dancing and pole competitions, Crystal – now 33 – met with an adult film agent to discuss starring in porn films, who told her that she could be making around R40 000 a month.

Struck by the opportunity to make serious cash to support her son, Justin, Crystal attended her first scene at a house in Malibu soon after the meeting. She says, “I remember after the scene, I sat in the shower for about two hours crying. Then I stopped after that shoot and didn’t go back for about one month. I ended up going back to it again and that’s when I was numbing myself through taking pain medicine and drinking alcohol to get through the scene. It just became like this daily routine for me where I would drop my son off to school in the morning, go do a shoot and come home. It was like a regular nine-to-five job.” Stuck in a cycle of alcohol abuse and splashing her money on sports cars, a nightclub and a mansion, Crystal says she was sucked in by the materialistic lifestyle and lost herself in the haze.
