I get a call New Year’s Eve from the ex-porn star. I was acquainted with her for several years when I covered that industry.
Christian evangelist Shelley Lubben writes in late August 2007:
As most of you know Julie, formerly known as Porn Star Sierra Sinn, left porn on June 20, 2007 and in just two months she has been able to walk away from the enslavement of the porn industry, stop smoking pot, she found a new place to live and went out and got a great job at a prominent Food Store that offers full benefits!!!
That took HUGE amounts of courage not to mention she is willing to her use her life story to help others. Most girls want to hide when they leave the sex industry but not Julie. She is determined to help others learn the truth about porn and God is blessing her BIG TIME for it!
Julie is so thankful to all of us who offered her support through their encouragement, prayers and donations. She says our support gave her the strength she needed to take the steps necessary to rebuild her life. She also wants to thank the Esther Fund set up by xxxchurch for donating a large amount toward her living expenses.
She is especially thankful to God because she KNOWS God is the one who faithfully stood by her and opened doors for her as she took her first courageous steps to rebuild her life.
Truly with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! I hope all of you reading will be inspired to trust in God and lean on Him to help you take the steps necessary to live the life you were created for!
You were meant for greater things than porn! Whether porn star or porn addict, God has more for you than a life enslaved to porn.

Julie, formerly Sierra Sinn, phones at 10 p.m.: "Even though I quit porn, I am doing way better than ever. I just wanted to report that."
Luke: "Hey. What are you doing these days?"
Julie: "I’m doing what I need to be doing to take care of myself and my family."
Luke: "Are you working? Are you going to school?"
Julie: "I’m working. I’m working very hard in every sense of the world. I’m staying out of porn. I’ll never go back.
"I don’t hate porn the way people think I do. I believe in God and I believe in Christ and everything, but I’m not like a Jesus freak. I don’t condone anyone for what they do. I don’t hate anyone for what they do. I don’t hate anyone for what they’ve done to me. So what I’m saying is that I’m having a great year and I’ll continue to and I’d really appreciate it if you’d report that."
Luke: "I will. Hang on a second. What have been the best things and what have been the toughest things for you in making a new life?"
Julie: "The money. I haven’t had nearly as much money as I had before. I feel really good that I have a job. I feel responsible. I have something that I can do every day. I don’t feel like a scumbag for just taking what I can get. Before I’d just take paychecks but it was never steady. Now I feel responsible for something. I’m doing something good."
Luke: "So the toughest part of leaving the industry was leaving the money?"
Julie: "Definitely. I’m a strong enough person that I can get past that. I can live humbly for a little while until I can get promoted.
"If you stick by a job, they’re going to promote you and give you what you need. I have health insurance now. That’s one thing I’m really happy about. When I was in porn, I never went to the doctor except for AIM. Now I can go and get my entire body checked out, not just my vagina."
We laugh.
Luke: "How does your soul feel?"
Julie: "I don’t feel any different. I feel better about myself as far as I’m not a whore. I’m with one guy. I love him very much and that’s it. I feel a lot better about myself now. Other than that, I don’t feel any different. I’m the same person I’ve always been.
"I was never the person that some people portrayed me to be. I was never a crack head. I was never a meth head. I was never a tweaker like they tried to say I was. I went out and I partied. I’m sorry. Excuse me for having a good time. I’m a DJ. That’s what I do. That’s going very well. I’ve spun three parties in the past year. For someone who’s not really trying to pursue it, I think that’s pretty good."
Luke: "So what kind of person is Shelley Lubben?"
Julie: "She’s awesome. She’s intense and some people may confuse that for something that it’s not. She’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. She doesn’t judge you for things you’ve done in your past but helps you get to where you want to be in your future. People can say what they want about her. Yes, she’s radical, but she has her heart in the right place. Shelley Lubben is my hero."
Luke: "How did you get in contact with her?"
Julie: "She hit me up on MySpace. She was at the right place at the right time. It was very fateful. I hate to sound like a Jesus freak, but I feel like I was put in touch with her through God. I was going through a downfall and she hit me up and I was like wow. It’s crazy. Everything she said made sense. I love Shelley."
Luke: "How many friends did you keep from the porn industry?"
Julie: "One and a half."
Luke: "What do you think we as individuals can do about the porn industry?"
Julie: "I just don’t want to see children being exploited. I wish there was more security. I wish it wasn’t as extreme. I wish girls didn’t have to go as far as they did. But honestly, that’s a personal decision. I made it and a lot of girls will make it. I pray to God for their souls that they don’t, but if they do, I hope they find the right side.
"I really wish that like children weren’t being exploited. People under 21. Between the ages of 18 and 21, you’re not an adult. I made a lot of mistakes between the ages of 18 and 21, note even porn, that maybe you should not be accounted for but you are because you are over 18."
Luke: "Do you find people still holding your porn background against you?"
Julie: "Not really. Too many people know that I did it in the past."
Luke: "Have you been able to get closer to people now that you’ve left the industry?"
Julie: "I’ve been able to have a boyfriend now that I’ve left the industry. My family was never not supportive but they were never like fully gung-ho on it. Now that I’m not doing it, they’re a lot happier. I find that I’m able to have more real friends, actual friends, rather than just people who are using me for status, money or whatever reason… I have real friends rather than just people in my life."
Luke: "How is your sex life different now that you’re out of porn?"
Julie: "How did I know that was coming up? It’s different. It’s not as frequent but it’s very satisfactory. It means a lot more. Before I just felt that I was f—ing to reach a high because I would get high from certain orgasms. You know what I mean?"
Luke: "Yeah."
Julie: "Sometimes you’d get like this f—ing like f— buzz. But now I don’t just f— to get like that f— buzz. I f— because I love my boyfriend and I want to make him happy. I mean it when I f— now."
"I just want everyone to know that I’m not just some f—ed up bitch who left the industry and like started doing drugs and all that s—. Yeah, I did a few drugs, but I was never strung out like people wanted to believe that I was. Yeah, I had my share of partying but I was never like some f—ing cracked out bitch. People think that just because I left the industry that it was because I was all f—ed up. But in actuality I left the industry because I was all f—ed up but that was mentally not on drugs. And now I’m not. And I just want to say that."
Luke: "Right. How long have you been clean and sober for?"
Julie: "Does pot count? Because I still smoke pot."
Luke: "Aside from pot."
Julie: "Other than pot, since July."
Luke: "Cool."
"How long have you been with your boyfriend?"
Julie: "Since July."
Anyone who knows Sierra Sinn knows she is/was a major crystal meth fiend. It amazing how people who finally get off drugs deny how incredible stupid and pathetic their behavior was while they were on drugs. You did a “few” drugs Sierra? Who the hell are you trying to kid? When you were staying with that nasty whore Veronica Jett you were completely tweaked out. You were having trouble putting two complete sentences together. A “few” drugs dont make people act like blithering idiots. I heard that Mike(Veronica Jetts suitcase pimp/driver/boyfriend) would drive you to private shows and you would knock on the wrong door and make a scene.
I’m glad to hear you are out of the business. You were a terrible whore anyways. It was obvious you were just waiting for the guy to pop so you could run out and get your next high. Some of your videos are so funny because you can see you are glancing over at the clock counting down the time.
I think you exploited alot of producers and directors claiming to be a good performer but you werent. You were terrible.
I hope Shelly Lubben continues to do the adult entertainment industry a great service. She is simply cleaning out girls who really shouldnt be in the business to begin with. As with any population sometimes housecleaning is required to keep the machine running smoothly. D-grade skanks like Ashley Brooks and Sierra Sinn are much better suited to greeting customers at Welmart then being pornstars. Shelly Lubben does have a purpose in life and yes it does help people.
Shelly, please convert Dick Nasty, Bobby Manilla, Donny Long and Jeremy Steele. These scum should hear the same pathetic spleel… message that you give to the females. If you focus on just female pornstars then its obvious you have some hidden agenda that will ultimately expose you. Please call these male porn hanger-ons as soon as possible and tell them you can help them. Schedule meetings with them at the AVN show for which you are begging free tickets to.
What is “The truth about God and porn”? What is “the enslavement of porn” and what other forms of enslavement does Shelley recommend instead? Einstein said that the more man learns the more he realizes how much he doesn’t know. Shelley, how is what you call “God” a panacea to all the woes of the world?
If all things are possible is it possible DaddyLuvsBigDick could ever say something nice?
I’m not hanging on, I’m just hanging out.
“she found a new place to live and went out and prominent Food Store that offers full benefits!!”
“…got a great job at a prominent Food Store”!! LOLOLOL. She capitalizes Food Store to make it look important.
You guys are something else. I shake my head at some of the terrible stuff you write but you know what, I’d LOVE to meet you at AVN! I reach out to anybody in the porn industry and try to help both men and women. So, don’t be a stranger. Come up and meet me or let me know what booth you will be at and I will come up and meet you.
Love you ALL,
Shelley
I also want to add how extremely proud I am of Julie. She has worked her butt off to rebuild her life and the least you guys could do is congratulate her on her new success. Come on guys!
Congratulations Julie!.. and good luck Shelley, although I think Jesus is the last thing people are looking for when they’re attending a porn convention. Btw, does anyone think those myspace nazis are gonna delete my “myspace” again? Let me know, I’d appeciate it because I’m sick of losing it all. yspace.com/jeremysteelesthirdmyspace
BDD, isnt it spiel? I’m a long time German guy, and its close to Yiddish. Shelley, I have an idea, have the ex stars where a t-shirt with The Answer Is…on it, then lift it and in grease paint is written “Jesus”. Plenty of Converts if the girls have nice cans.
oops wear, sorry BDD, not a long time English guy apparently.
All the Jesus BS aside, no one should be in porn because they hate themselves or because they are addicted to drugs. I just want to see hot women having sex on camera. There in lies the difference between Shelly and I. She’d say that no sane woman would want to do that. I say some do.
Julie, best of you in your new life.
bdd: what in the fuck are you talking about? sierra was never high when she stayed with me. we smoked some pot and thats it. I DO NOT ALLOW DRUGS IN MY HOUSE!
continue to talk shit about me, my friends and my family and you will be speaking to my attorney.
Julie, best of luck to you in your new life.
Can anything be done about jeremy steele thinking aloud in public?
Its like muzak…when the volume goes up and it becomes more than background noise the meaninglessness of it becomes a menace to sanity.
I never really noticed Sierra as a porn star, despite her steady posting at XPT. Sorta cute, but not really, and a little boy’s body.
Now that she is a reformed Jee-Zus lover, she is a favorite. I like to flip between clips of her talking about how porn made her feel dirty, like she had dried jizz on her skin all day, and a scene of hers where she goes the extra mile. Hot, hot hot. Now, if she would only relapse and do a cumback scene. Remember, porn whores never retire, they are only between job openings.
Veronica,
I’d love to speak to your attorney. I wonder how is he getting paid? Obviously you just did a private show with some recent law school grad to pay your rent or get Xmas presents. No self respecting attorney would go near you.
I’ll call your bluff to show everyone you not only eat shit(http://veronicajett.com) but that you are actually full of shit as well.
Your attorney right fucking now. You are a whore and your man is a no job loser ready to wipe cum off your face and that both of you are junkies. Challenge me in court and the first thing I will do is subpoena both you and mikes tax returns to prove your income. If you dont file taxes then hopefully the IRS doesnt hear about you.
Veronica, you can keep eating shit you nasty fucking whore but I can tell you one thing . . . you dont have a leg to stand on legally so running your shit filled mouth about me speaking to your attorney is laughable.
get your panties out your ass! i was just fuckin jerkin your chain with that attorney crap!
do you think a self respecting whore has time, between all the tricks and dicks, to file suit against some internet scum?
Thats funny, a shit eating whore calling someone else scum!

I love the people on here who make the comment “go back to working at Wal-Mart”.
Its hilarious that the implication of working at Wal-Mart, putting in a honest days work, is somehow more degrading that being a porn “star”.
When taking random dicks from skanky guys up your ass and semen from them in your face for a paycheck is considered better than working, albeit for less money, at a job where one does not have to sell their body/soul, that’s a pathetic/depraved mindset.
For those that decide to do porn, so be it, do your thing. But no one taking a cum shot in the face for $$$ has the moral high ground in judging anyone working a low paying retail job where ones dignity is not sold on the open market.
When an honest days work is less valued than being a prostitute/whore, I mean porn “star”, that’s a sad day.And it says less about the person working at Wal-Mart than the trash who thinks that way.
Wait, wait wait.
There are self-respecting whores?
Sierra Sinn was cute but way to skinny as a porn star. But I did liked her posts in XTP. She sounded funny and witty, that is rare in a porn whore.
I wish her well now she is Julie again.
I hope SLubben help her got the right way.
Godspeed Julie.
