A week ago, if you’d have mentioned the name Belle Knox at a party, the only people who would have looked in your direction would have been a few red-faced boys who spend too much time locked in their rooms frantically clearing their internet search history.
Now, she’s one of the biggest names on the internet – a veritable overnight success story with more hits on Google than Pope Francis and Justin Bieber combined.
Why? Because Belle Knox, an 18-year-old Duke University law student struggling to pay her way through school is, in fact, a porn star, who has funded her education by starring in blue movies by the names of ‘Lick My Lips’ and ‘How Do You Like It’.
“I really enjoy sex, and I’ve always loved watching porn, so it just seemed like I could pay my way through college doing something I really love doing,” Knox, a major in women’s studies and sociology, told the New York Daily News.
The $47,000-a-year tuition fees for the North Carolina school were too much for her family to fork out for, and she couldn’t, she says, risk the mounting debt she’d encounter by taking out a loan. And no amounts of shifts at MacDonald’s would have made up the amount.
