Why are some pornstars so "ashamed" of escorting, that they dont state it publicly?

I never understood why, I mean, we all know they do it yet they dont speak about it publicly like Danielle Derek...

I never understood why, I mean, we all know they do it yet they dont speak about it publicly like Danielle Derek (Alluring Intros) for example, she is very open about escorting.

They don't all provide and there are number of reasons to not be public about it if they do. There is still a general negative stigma on sex work in the US, besides also being against the law.

Being a pornstar is a lot of marketing and creating a brand. Often times they don't want providing as part of that brand. Another reason is agents or being under contract, some agents have a no escorting policy, hence why they go UTR.

there are alot of studios that wont shoot a model nearly as much if they know she openly escorts.
there are some agencies that will not book a girl as many scenes if they think she is making side money as an escort..mostly because they arent getting a cut of that money like when they book main stream scenes
there are issues with overseas travel if you are an escort that openly advertises
so many issues attached that some girls just dont want to make it super public

Just because someone smokes weed or gets wasted on weekends doesn't mean they post it on their LinkedIn profile.

It’s one thing to be a porn star that has sex with professional ppl that take care of their body it’s another when you have sex with random dude that may or may not get test. Telling family the first part they get a pass. It’s another to tell your family you’re an escort. They just don’t want it to be in public.

I know a few pornstars that are estranged with their family because they're in porn. Would be worse if the family knew they escorted. But besides that, there's this:

Pornstar = I own a dispensary in California
Escort = I live in a state where weed is very illegal and grow it in my basement to sell in dark alleys or street corners and would get arrested if caught

Except in this case for escorting, "state where this is illegal" is the entire United States.
