When you see these girls in the pictures smiling almost like they are happy having their clothes off and being exposed like this – it is the biggest lie of all. I have never met a single girl who was happy to be doing that job. Contrary to popular belief these girls don’t make a lot money doing this and they end up broken inside and left with no self-confidence or feelings of self worth. Many of them turn to drugs and alcohol to help numb the pain. . . . I finally got the courage to stop and change my life when I hit the bottom. I was in debt, I was completely emotionally broken and on the verge of being an alcoholic which is something that scared me because my father is a raging alcoholic and I didn’t want to end up like that. I quit everything and told myself that I had to push through no matter what. I didn’t want to continue my life the way it was, but I didn’t want to give up living either. When you know that you have to make a major shift in your life it is always terrifying and that’s why many people get stuck in the darkness, because they feel safe in the familiar even if that reality is killing them slowly. So I quit and that was years ago. I have absolutely nothing to do with it anymore and I am not profiting from it in any way. I have a dream about doing something to help stop the cycle of exploitation that feeds on these young girls and destroys their lives.
That's a picture from one of Zuzana's recent exercise videos, being used on an "official Susana Spears blog". I imagine it's being used without her consent, on a website possible run by the same people she tried so hard to get away from.
Anyway, getting to the point of my post, it seems that Zuzana has had a painful past life and is trying to leave that life behind her. She's got a fantastic body, and deserves to be posted to GWM. But I'd suggest retagging the photos with the name she chooses to go by now - Zuzana Light.
What say you?
Phew, long first post from me! Thanks for listening!
Yeah, good research and info ... and I agree. She obviously wants to leave that part of her life behind, so it's not very cool of some web site to link the porn part to the bodybuilding part like that (unless she consented to it, which sounds pretty unlikely).
On the whole though? I don't know if I buy 100% into her claims either, that the porn industry is full of only unhappy people who have to resort to drugs or alcohol to numb the pain of what they're doing. Sure, that CAN be the case. But I've known people who worked as exotic dancers for years (not a whole lot different really -- and lots of crossover between those two careers), AND a couple women who did amateur porns at least a few times. I think some of them would tell a very different story.
It's like a lot of things... If you wind up doing it simply because your life is miserable and it's the only obvious avenue left to earn the kind of money you need to get out of your financial hole? You're probably NOT going to enjoy it much. On the other hand, some women simply realize they're very physically attractive and start thinking, "Hey... If so many guys are always staring at me and trying to get me to strip naked for them anyway? I should make some cash out of this, before I get too old to do it anymore!" I knew one stripper, for example, who was working at McDonalds before that. She simply realized that "Hey, why flip burgers when I can dance at night instead and make WAY more money, tax-free?" She was comfortable with her body and it was just something to do while she was going through school.
But yeah, the atmosphere you're putting yourself in when you do any of this stuff is generally a "Let's party and get crazy!" one, which encourages alcohol or drug use. You have to be able to say "No thanks...." and pass on that stuff when it's waved in your face, and some people can't do that.
Agreed but I think there's a profound difference between stripping and porn acting. Most porn is disgusting. Stripping really does seem like good clean fun in comparison, even if most of the money is being made giving lap dances. I, too, know some strippers and ex-strippers and it's hard to generalize about their emotional makeup - most seem pretty messed up, but a few are completely fine. (And my wife is an ex go-go dancer, but that was in the days when there was work for girls who didn't want to go topless, which she didn't.)
As someone who has actually worked in the porn industry before, I can speak from experience and say that different girls handle things different ways. Not every girl in porn is unhappy and broken. It takes a certain mentality to be able to do porn and not every girl that gets into it has what it takes. The problem is a lot of girls get into porn for all the wrong reasons. Those are the ones that end up "broken" so to speak. But I've met plenty of girls in the biz that enjoyed the work and made good money doing it.

Then I did a bit of googling, and realised that Zuzana is actually Susana Spears. I was blown away! Wow!
I then read this interview, where Zuzana talks about her history in porn: http://www.bodyrock.tv/2011/01/04/my-interview/
In particular these bits:
That made me pretty sad, and seeing this made me mad:
