Here I was feeling sorry for her and everything she’s struggled with but her retirement speech and her new blog are just a big a big fucking lie! Penny tells XBiz how everyone got it wrong and she isn’t retiring from the porn world but just from performing. She will still direct for Vivid:
“After eight years of enjoying, benefiting from and embracing this industry, I’ve come to a point in my life that performing is not a place — mentally — that I am capable of being in anymore. I’m in no way denouncing the industry; I love the adult business and I always will. It made me everything I am today. I’m grateful for the time I spent in front of the camera, but I am not going anywhere.”
“Not performing anymore will allow me to pursue other goals that I had no time for previously, like getting a film degree. I’m still excited to direct and work on other projects for Vivid — albeit from behind the camera this time. Like I said, I’m not leaving, I’m just taking my business in this business in a new direction.”
I searched for the word ‘direct’ on her blog and it only shows up one week later after her “retirement” announcement. She waited an entire week after her first posts to then say oh yeah I will still be in the industry but directing. Her first post was April 29. She decides to tell us and her fans, who she now thinks will still pay to join her website, that she will still remain in porn but behind the scenes directing for Vivid. The shortest retirement ever! One week later on her ‘Identity Theft’ post dated May 5.
Why did Penny do this? Because “retiring” after leaving Dr. Drew Pinsky’s VH1 reality show for sex addicts is more of a bigger story that will garner much attention, press, and fanfare. If she just announced she was retiring from performing, many wouldn’t care and just assume she would eventually come back in a few years when she needs the money like many others have. This cry for attention is also to promote her website that has now become a part Vivid’s web operation.
Here I felt sorry for this woman while many were saying she’s lying and it’s just for publicity for when the reality show comes out. I even sent her blog to Shelley Lubben and also tried to find an email address so Shelley could try to help her if she ever needed help because Shelley knows what Penny was supposedly going through while her therapist has no clue.
Penny told XBiz that not performing anymore will now allow her to pursue other goals that she had no time for before. But she’s the one that would complain all the time before how she couldn’t find work and neither could most of the other female performers!
When Penny first announced her retirement, she said she would leave Penny behind and move forward in life as Jennie. How can you move forward as Jennie if you’re still working in an industry that only knows you as Penny Flame?? You’re the alcoholic that works at a bar. You’re the obese woman working at Burger King. You’re the drug addict working at the local pharmacy. How can you possibly put on a straight face and tell anyone that a recovering sex addict will still be working in the PORN INDUSTRY? How can you try to get sympathy from us by writing on your blog how you felt guilty after masturbating because it’s the first time you’ve done so in 25 days but still be working in the PORN INDUSTRY?
Now when the reality show airs this Fall, no one should believe a single thing you say or do on there because it will all be a lie that you orchestrated months earlier. I searched for the word ‘direct’ on your blog and it’s not there until a week after your first post on April 29. You then mentioned still directing for Vivid on May 5. XBiz picked up the story and ran your new interview on May 7. So don’t go back editing it all now! Now I’ll go back to not caring about you again because you were never all that interesting anyway.

Wow! Doctor Drew is busy.
You are correct in assuming that whatever addiction a person has the first thing they should do is remove themselves from it’s presence. And yet she has decided to stay on and direct porn.
If this show has been taped earlier than Doctor Drew will look like an ass when Penny’s, (Jennies) blog comes to light.

I think she is making a mistake in not severing her ties to a industry that sells what she is addicted to.
But reading her blog she did said she has to carryon working for Vivid and her website for a while because she needs the money. So she was not lying.
Even is she is taking a wrong choice.
I mean, she was 8 years in the industry. Had a lifestyle she cannot feed with her current workskills.
I think the right choice was to go to get financial help to school and get job training in a recession proof career.
And live according to her works skills for a while.

Tatty, the esscence of Whoredom is a addiction to attention financed by sex.
She is an addict.

I never even believed that Penny/Jenny retired,for I saw her at a Gina Lynn-hosted porn star mud wrestling event at a now-closed LV Strip casino/country bar three years ago,for she was happily smiling and skipping all over the place like a lovesick puppy,and then later mud-wrestled and followed that up with a barefoot ride on the electrical bull,with Penny/Jenny loving very single minute of it. For when someone that’s been in the industry long enough to enjoy being a part of it works as long as she did,you know that that person is heavily addicted to the business and will never leave it,no matter what that person says(whether it’s true or not).

She has been in too long to leave the biz totally behind. People would want to know what she did ‘before’ and what would she say? That is one reason most people stay on as makeup artists and such.

Darrah, don’t be so hard on, Penny. No one gets out of porn alive. It is like the mafia.

Jenny is going to go down in flames (no pun intended) – She is simultaneously attempting sobriety along with her sex addiction, and all under the guise of ‘finding her true self, ‘Jennie’. The shame in all of this is that she will almost without doubt be tempted by sex and booze again, whether she’s behind, in-front or in the next room from the camera, for as long as she works in the jizz biz – Is she fucking kidding herself, or was this just a 2 month all-expenses paid by VH1 Pr-stunt which it is now sounding more and more to be. FUCK HER..!

“The shame in all of this is that she will almost without doubt be tempted by sex and booze again, whether she’s behind, in-front or in the next room from the camera, for as long as she works in the jizz biz”
Sad but true.
“She has been in too long to leave the biz totally behind. People would want to know what she did ‘before’ and what would she say? That is one reason most people stay on as makeup artists and such.”
I think why many former PW like to get “saved”. That give them a avenue to at least find people that will play collective Capt “Save a Hoe” and give them a chance at civilian life. And still, even if their porn past if forgiven, they have no job skills beyond sucking cock and making false moans on film.

She has dozens and dozens and dozens of comments on her blog with people congratulating her and telling her about their problems and addictions. I just feel stupid because I sent Shelley the blog asking if she can help there too.
I’ll still watch the reality show because I like Dr. Drew and like watching those types of shows. But I won’t be able to believe what she says on the show and think it’s all an act.
She also must have seen her stats from the blogs, websites, and forums when she first made those first few posts. She still didn’t say anything until a week later about directing and had continued writing after the first hits started hitting her blog.

Penny is not a web saavy type and is very unlikely to have looked at stats; she has never ever run her own website. She has no idea that she brought a shit storm on herself by writing publicly. So, go easy on her. You’d be shocked at how little the brick and mortar side of the porn world knows of the web side.

Yeah I won’t say anymore. I was just surprised and later felt stupid. She’s already getting negative comments there I just read.
