A California woman who became one of the world's most successful porn stars has warned other females against going down the same career path after she moved on to become a preacher.
Brittni De La Mora and her husband Richard, both 31, preach the gospel at Cornerstone Church in San Diego, but six years ago Brittni's life was very different.
She was making an estimated $30,000 a month working in the porn industry and was addicted to cocaine and heroin to cope with her career.
Changes: Former porn star Brittni De La Mora, 31, has warned women against following down her same career path because of how it lives forever on the internet
Career: Performing under the stage name Jenna Presley, Brittni (pictured in 2006 at an adult entertainment convention), now 31, appeared in about 300 adult videos
Duo: After quitting porn, Brittni met Pastor Richard De La Mora and fell in love with him; they married in 2016 and now preach the gospel at Cornerstone Church in San Diego
In an interview with Fox News , Brittni revealed why she would advise against other women joining the porn industry.
'I would just really encourage them to not think about the now because I always lived by what was going to make me happy in the moment and I never ever considered the future,' she told the publication.
'And if you really think about the future, do you want to deal with the repercussions of having your sexual acts all over the internet for the rest of your life?' She continued.
Past: Brittni was 16 when she was asked to perform at a strip club. In an interview with Fox News, she said she now worries about her future kids because of her past career
'People ask me all the time, "You're a preacher, why is your porn still on the internet?" Well, I don't have control over any of that. I can't get that stuff removed [because] I signed my rights away when I signed my contracts.'
After her career, Brittni now worries how past footage could impact any future children she might have with her husband, which is why she is imploring other women to think the same way.
'What about your children?' Brittni asked. 'Do you want them to have to go through the possible embarrassment when their friends may tease them in school?'
Brittni, who performed under the stage name Jenna Presley for her porn career, was featured in about 300 adult videos, but the cameras didn't capture the turmoil in her personal life.
'I was struggling to pay my rent because I had a really bad drug addiction. I would spend thousands and thousands of dollars a week on drugs,' she previously told Barcroft .
'I started off with cocaine but then eventually I was battling a heroin addiction.'
Brittni had her first brush with the sex industry aged just 16, when she traveled to Mexico for a night with friends.
Spreading the word: The former porn star now does public speaking
Support: Her friend Raven Bay (pictured left) turns to Brittni for religious support and guidance
Couple: 'I'm beyond proud of my wife's transformation,' Richard (pictured right) said. 'It just moves my heart because here was a woman who was once lost and now she is found'
Jobs: In addition to being a public speaker (left and right), Brittni works in real estate
'I felt rejected as a child and teenager, in my households there was a lot of chaos and animosity, so I started looking for love and acceptance in all the wrong places,' she recounted.
'When my friend said they were going to go out to a club, I went with them and ended up getting drunk.
'That was my first experience at a strip club. I had blonde hair and braces and they just put me on the stage that night.'
Brittni began stripping to pay her way through university and was recruited by two porn producers who said they made 'romance movies' and she was destined to be a star.
'I was naive but I wasn't that naive, I knew they were talking about porn films. I got accepted to be represented by a premier agency and I made the move to become a full-time porn star and dropped out of college,' she said.
Two months in, Brittni caught gonorrhea and began to strongly dislike the work she was doing.
'I ended up using drugs because there was a director who told me that I was fat and needed to lose weight. I weighed around 105 pounds. I was devastated.
'About a year prior I had been released from hospital for anorexia, so it was a huge trigger for me,' she said.
Brittni asked a particularly thin model how she maintained her weight, and was told about snorting cocaine and doing crystal meth. Brittni tried cocaine and felt instantly hooked.
Events: Brittni also attends porn conventions to speak with performers about the Bible's teachings. She is pictured posing at a convention
Working: She posed in front of a 'Jesus Loves Porn Stars' poster for the XXX Church, an organisation that supports people struggling with porn addiction
'I had more energy,' she said. 'I could perform the scenes and not even think about the repercussions anymore. It was giving me this false sense of happiness.
'I thought I was happy while I was doing it but the moment I would come down, I wasn't happy anymore so I would have to do another line.'
While she was ranked as one of the world's hottest porn stars, Brittni's lifestyle left her wrestling with heroin addiction and suffering from frequent suicidal thoughts, until one day she knew that if she didn't call her grandmother to help her, she would take her own life.
Brittni's grandmother picked her up from where she was living in Los Angeles and moved her into her home in San Diego.
With her grandmother's encouragement, Brittni started going to church and embarked upon the long road to get clean and start a new life, quitting the porn industry in 2012.
Together: Richard and Brittni couple have written two relationship books together, set to be released later this year
Network: Brittni is pictured watching a sermon at the Cornerstone Church where she is a pastor for the young adult ministry
Youth: Brittni is pictured doing some public speaking at a high school
Public persona: Brittni (second from left) has spoken openly about her former career and how her life has changed
Brittni began attending the Cornerstone Church, where Pastor Richard De La Mora was preaching, and over the course of a year, fell in love with him.
The pair were married in 2016, and together they now lead the young adult ministry at their church. Brittni also attends porn conventions to speak with performers about the Bible's teachings, and works in real estate.
'I'm beyond proud of my wife's transformation,' Richard said. 'It just moves my heart because here was a woman who was once lost and now she is found.'
The couple have written two relationship books together entitled Fire and Fresh.

A down-on-her-luck porn star has been found living in a massive tunnel that stretches for miles underneath the Las Vegas Strip.
The filthy, gaunt-looking woman — identified in reports as former X-rated actress Jenni Lee — was discovered by a Dutch TV crew while interviewing some of the hundreds of homeless people who camp out in Sin City’s storm drainage system.
Lee, whose real name is Stephanie Sadorra, gives her name as Stephanie and laughs nervously as she tells Ewout Genemans , host of the show “Ewout &…,” that “I used to be in pornography.”
Asked if she was successful in the smut industry, Lee answers, “A little too successful, maybe.”
“I actually got very famous. I should still be top 100 on some, you know, some list somewhere,” she says.
Lee — who appears to be missing teeth and picks at her fingers with black-rimmed nails — also says that living in the drainpipe is “not as difficult as you think.”
“Everybody’s really respectful,” she says.
“People down here are good to each other, which I don’t think you find much.”
Lee, 37, was born in Clarksville, Tennessee, and worked as a model and appeared in TV commercials before becoming a stripper and porn actress, according to biographical information posted on the IMDb website.
The Internet Adult Film Database credits her with appearances in 105 films, including “Jenni Lee’s Office Fling,” “Horny Hosts of Heaven” and several installments of the “My Daddy’s Hot Girlfriend” series.
The 5-foot-3-inch, 105-pound performer — who has a sun tattoo above her privates — last worked in front of a camera in 2015, the site says.
Homeless people have been living in the Las Vegas tunnels for years.
Although they provide relief from the scorching desert heat, the tunnels pose a flooding risk during storms that can fill them with more than a foot of water per minute, according to a 2009 report by ABC’s “Nightline.”
“They can be very dangerous,” Matthew O’Brien, author of “ Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas ,” told the show.
“A lot of [the dwellers] are really good about communicating with each other about when it’s about to rain, so they can just grab their valuables and get out, and leave everything else behind.”

Brittni De La Mora may not be a name you recognize — but the now-31-year-old spent nearly a decade in the porn industry as the more recognizable Jenna Presley.
Brittni De La Mora may not be a name you recognize — but the now-31-year-old spent nearly a decade in the porn industry as the more recognizable Jenna Presley.
Like many who go on to work in the adult film industry, De La Mora got her start dancing at strip clubs as a way to put herself through college. As she explained to Fox News, "I grew up in a broken household so I really didn't know my value or my worth.
"I discovered early on that if I was naked in the presence of men that I was going to get what I didn't get at home — and that was affirmation," she added.
De La Mora said that after turning 18 she was approached by two men at the strip club she worked at. The men explained they were romance movie producers in Los Angeles and according to Ruiz, they told her, "You're beautiful, you're destined to be a star."
The next day, she met up with them to have her photos taken and sent to an agent.
"From that point forward, I was picked up by a premier agency and I was in the [porn] industry for seven years," she said.

De La Mora said she enjoyed making adult films "for about a month" until she discovered she had contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
"I'd never gotten an STD in my life so I thought from that point on, 'What am I doing in this business?'"
But it was her pride that kept De La Mora from quitting. "I didn't want to admit that I made a mistake so I kept pressing forward," she recalled.
De La Mora's life then took a dark turn as she started abusing drugs like cocaine and heroin to cope.
"I just reached a breaking point at my three-year mark [in porn]," she said. De La Mora quit the industry and began attending church with her grandfather, where she said she met "Jesus as my Lord and Savior."
But "another man" came into De La Mora's life "who turned out to be a pimp," so she returned to porn for an additional three-and-a-half years.
While De La Mora was dating the man she called her pimp, she began to slowly develop her relationship with God through reading the Bible. Until finally, one day she "felt this strong urge" to turn her life around.

"I went to go film a porn scene in Las Vegas and brought my Bible with me on the airplane and I was reading scripture," De La Mora told us. "At which point I really felt that [God was telling me], 'Brittni, this isn't the life that I have for you...know that I have something so much greater in store for you but I need you to give me a step of faith today. I need you to quit the industry and I promise you, your life is going to turn around.'
"So I quit the industry that day and I've been out since December 2012."
Fast-forward, and De La Mora is now married to a pastor named Richard. The pair has penned a two-part book called "Fire and Fresh" to help couples navigate their relationships when they have "lost the excitement."
"My husband and I believe the greatest relationship is the relationship with God and with each other," she shared. "If those relationships are on fire, everything else will be on fire."

De La Mora also wants to send a message to women who are considering adult film.
"I would just really encourage them to not think about the now because I always lived by what was going to make me happy in the moment and I never ever considered the future," she warned. "And if you really think about the future, do you want to deal with the repercussions of having your sexual acts all over the Internet for the rest of your life?
"People ask me all the time, 'You're a preacher, why is your porn still on the Internet?' Well, I don't have control over any of that. I can't get that stuff removed [because] I signed my rights away when I signed my contracts."
De La Mora does worry about having to explain her porn past to her future children, something she says should also scare off women who are contemplating porn.
"What about your children? Do you want them to have to go through the possible embarrassment when their friends may tease them in school?"
She said that in the end, "whatever you're searching for in the industry, you're not going to find it." Instead, she said she found the "affirmation" she was looking for in God.
"He will fulfill your heart's desire, he will fulfill the longing in your soul, he will heal your broken heart and no amount of money can buy that."
