Crystal fell pregnant at 16 and moved to Hollywood from North Carolina determined to give her son a good life. She spent a few years modelling and pole dancing before an adult film agent told her she could make $30,000 a month by starring in p0rn films.

A mum has quit her $300,000-a-year p0rn star career to become a church minister. Crystal Bassette, 33, featured in over 100 adult films and pocketed around $30,000 a month which she splashed out on sports cars and a mansion.

But after 10 years in the p0rn industry the mum-of-three decided to call it quits to devote herself to God.

 Now, she has founded her own church in New York with her new husband, also a minister.
Remembering her first scene at a house in Malibu, she said: “I sat in the shower for about two hours crying. Then I stopped after that shoot and didn’t go back for about one month.

Crystal said she became sucked in by her materialistic lifestyle as she splashed the cash on a mansion, night club and sports cars while her alcohol abuse worsened.

“I ended up going back to it again and that’s when I was numbing myself through taking pain medicine and drinking alcohol to get through the scene. “It just became like this daily routine for me where I would drop my son off to school in the morning, go do a shoot and come home. It was like a regular 9 to 5 job.”

She said: “My mind was so messed up and after reading the Bible I know that I was haunted by a spirit of Jezebel.

“I just lived for myself and my son and didn’t really think about the consequences of making films and dancing and everything. “I started to become an object. I wouldn’t walk outside my house without showing cleavage, having a belly shirt on and high heels. It was like had to constantly look like the s ex symbol.” Crystal decided to quit p0rn three years ago after choosing to devote herself to God.

Soon afterwards she met David, a church minister. The pair married in December 2014 and shortly afterwards welcomed their son Carter.
