blames her ex-husband for her doing that softcore movie.

They're going through a painful divorce. They no longer have friends
in common. People have thrown in with one or the other of them.
I gather that Norman (a principle in Defiance Films) is the primary
decision-maker at Matrix Content (and Lake Manor Productions, distributed
through Matrix), where Robbye has worked since 1999 as the principle
photographer.
Robbye
got a letter via Fed-Ex Monday morning telling her that she was fired.
She's seeking work (robbyelicious@yahoo.com) as well as her own computer
and cell phone.
I met
Robbye, who stands 5'11, for the first time December 6 at Porn Star
Karaoke at Sardo's Bar. She wore a t-shirt that read, "I'm
not with stupid anymore."
After I posted her photos the next day, she was fired from her job
as a still photographer for Norman on a Defiance set.
On Dec 28, 2005, Robbye posted to Holly
Randall's MySpace page: "Hey you sexy photog you! congrats
on all your success... it's you, me, and alcoholic beverages in vegas!
miss ya, let's hang out again soon...i no longer am with the asshole
formerly known as my husband!"
For the past few months, Robbye has been rising at 4am to row. Instead
of socializing with hard-partying porners, she began hanging out with
her rowing teammates and going to bed at 9pm.

Robbye Bentley,
Who Turns 30 June 25, Goes Sober
She emails me June 12:
I went into detox on Wednesday, and the first 2 days were REALLY
hard. I had bad withdrawls (shakes, throwing up, hot flashes, restlessness)...but,
after the initial pain I started to slowly come around.
By yesterday, they couldn't hold me still...I was running around
the treatment center dancing and singing. I don't think I've felt
this good in 10 years. Everything is so much brighter and clearer,
and I'm actually motivated to do things now. And I feel so healthy.
I would not trade this feeling for the world. I have no intention
of ever picking up a drink or use drugs again...nor do I have the
desire. I even went to a pro beach volleyball tournament yesterday
afternoon (where everyone drinks), and wasn't even tempted.
I had a great morning rowing, went to a meeting, and I go to 4 hours
of outpatient rehab 5 days a week. I'm going to do outpatient for
90 days...so every day I do a meeting in the morning, and rehab in
the afternoons.
Being there was really humbling...there were people from all walks
of life, and we all were dealing with the same thing. And there were
people coming off of harder drugs-that made me grateful to even be
alive. I made it a point today during my rehab break to stop in and
visit with my friends still detoxing...some of them don't have anyone
at all. I dropped off a bunch of magazines and lollipops for a few
people while I was there.
The journal I kept is priceless...I think I'm eventually going to
write a book about my life. A pornographer...battling a drug and alcohol
addiction, and her recovery...what a juicy read. I wonder what the
next chapter is going to be about.
