She isn’t smart enough to attend Duke and she is not a port star. Port stars should get no less than 50K per shoot. She is a cheap…
She could of just gone to another school that is not as expensive, … Duke is way over priced.
Uh oh. the porn star is to have her financial aid revoked? Don’t you just hate it when men dictates to women what position to fake sex and then consequently how much study aid the women deserves? Ah the injustice of it all.
