Former porn star Bree Olson has revealed the staggering amount of money she gave up every month after leaving the adult industry.

Olson, now 37, began working as a pornographic actor back in 2006 and reportedly made over 571 pornographic films and compilations before quitting adult entertainment at age 25.

Since leaving the industry, Olson went on to work as a mainstream actor - featuring in 2015 film The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) - she has also been vocal in her criticism of how the adult industry works as well as the stigma surrounding being a porn actor.

Appearing in an interview back in 2016, a tearful Olson explained why she felt that porn had made a negative impact on her life, as well as revealing the eye-watering amount of money she walked away from.

"I have really gotten to a point where there are days to weeks at a time where I don't leave my house because I don't feel like facing the world," she said in the black-and-white interview.

"People treat me as though I am a pedophile, not an ex-sex worker," she continued, adding that working in the adult industry means she is now banned from working in healthcare or around children.

When it came to the amount of money she was making as an adult star, Olson revealed that she would often bring in tens of thousands per month.

"I gave up between $30,000 to $60,000 a month (£23,500 to £47,000) and I could go back to porn and still make that," she revealed.

"I could go back to porn and make $20,000 (£15,700) in one week if I wanted to, and I don't. Because that's how much I don't want my photos on the internet."

This isn't the only time that Olson has spoken against working in porn, with all of her criticisms focusing on the exploitative nature of the adult industry rather than the profession itself.

"Porn didn't hurt me. The way society treats me for having done it does," she told The Daily Dot back in 2016.

She has also claimed that pornography is the only industry where actors aren't paid after you retire.

"I send a very strong message to young girls, don't do porn," Olson added. "Because as much as I understand that you want to embrace your sexuality you want to say 'screw the man... I can do whatever I want with my body' but you're just going to have a life of c**p in-front of you.

"There's nothing wrong with porn. But how people treat you for the rest of your life? It's not worth it."

After leaving the industry Olson briefly dated Two and a Half Men actor Charlie Sheen in 2011.

She has since kept a relatively low profile, last addressing her work as an adult actor via Instagram Stories in October 2022, saying that she doesn't regret her work as life is 'pretty chill' now but urged younger women to make money on the internet without porn.
