Cherie DeVille Lambasts Laila Mickelwait's Anti-Pornhub Book in New Op-Ed

LOS ANGELES — 2023 XBIZ Performer of the Year Cherie DeVille has penned a new opinion piece for The Daily Beast, about a new book by religiously motivated anti-Pornhub crusader Laila Mickelwait.

The article, titled “I’m a Porn Star. This Anti-Pornhub Crusader Is Dead Wrong,” tackles “Mickelwait’s skewed narrative and the specious claims within the pages of her book, ‘Takedown: Inside the Fight to Shut Down Pornhub,’” a rep noted.

According to DeVille, although Mickelwait “insists she just wants to stop child pornography and rape,” her mission is actually “a Trojan horse to end the law-abiding porn industry.”

DeVille contends that while she and other industry professionals can offer plenty of positive accounts of life within the porn business, Mickelwait does not seem interested in hearing from actual experts or insiders in the modern adult industry.

“She repeatedly misrepresents how porn’s business model works,” DeVille declares.

“In the end, Mickelwait’s crusade puts the livelihoods of legal porn actors like me in jeopardy,” DeVille writes. “She brags in the book about Pornhub execs losing their home insurance and bank access without acknowledging that her campaign also led banks to cancel legitimate porn performers’ accounts. She expresses shock that anyone would claim her campaign to get MasterCard to stop processing payments on Pornhub led directly to OnlyFans briefly banning porn. But when they did, tens of thousands of performers who depended on that platform lost their primary income source overnight. After reading her book, I doubt Mickelwait would care.”
