Cherie DeVille Pens Article on Performer Mental Health for Daily Beast

LOS ANGELES — Cherie DeVille was written an article for mainstream site The Daily Beast about mental health issues and adult performers.

The article, titled "Porn Stars Are Having a Mental Health Crisis,” is the seventh piece the twice-crowned XBIZ "MILF Performer of the Year" has written for the site.

“Cherie discusses how COVID-19 has increased anxiety all over, and porn stars are no exception,” said a rep. “The stigma around the mental health of performers causes people to not speak out, and Cherie believes it's time for this to stop.”

DeVille explains how she has dealt with her own anxiety, even before her choice to start performing, and encourages her fellow performers to speak out as well.

"I am so glad I was able to talk about mental health for the Daily Beast," she offered. "Porn stars are always considered 'damaged' and it's time the world recognizes we are just like any other human.

“We need to start taking our mental health seriously and do what we can to stop the silence,” she added.
