The Duke University freshman, who goes by the stage name Belle Knox, has defended her decision to enter the adult industry to fund her college tuition.
The Duke University freshman working her way through college as a porn star has revealed her face and stage name.
'My name is Belle Knox, and I wear my Scarlet Letter with pride,' writes the student in a strong defence of her choice to enter the adult industry on XOJane.com.
Knox says she 'didn't expect today to happen' but was forced to make her decision to reveal her porn name after being 'harassed'. RELATED: DUKE FRESHMAN PAYING TUITION - AS PORN STAR
She says she is 'refusing to let the bullies win' and is outing herself on XOJane.com in response.
'Today, I'm going to officially reveal what my porn name is -- outside of the dregs of the Internet trying to bully me into using my birth name for porn, on message boards where comments like 'Her nose is bigger that her t---' or 'She deserves to be raped' are the common parlance -- and that is my choice to make,' she writes.
Knox adds that she has been accused of bringing shame and embarrassment to Duke and been shunned by some of her closest friends. RELATED: FRENCH NEWS REPORT ACCIDENTALLY AIRS HARDCORE 'NYMPHOMANIAC' TRAILER
She also claims fake Twitter accounts were created in her name and Tweets included threats to 'kick you in the face'.
Belle says she went to the police but was 'immediately barraged with a line of insensitive, doubting questions'.
She does not reveal her real name but tells critics to leave her family 'alone'. RELATED: PENCHANT FOR PORN REVEALED IN LIVE CELL PHONE DEMO
The freshman was revealed as a porn star last month after she was spotted by a male classmate in a video.
Belle says that while she 'started to be harassed' for working in porn, her fellow student 'started to be applauded'.
She defended her decision to do porn as a way of funding the $60,000-a-year tuition at the Top Ten school in North Carolina. Belle claims she is flown out to her film shoots, all expenses paid.
One estimate claims female porn stars can make up to $80,000-a-year if they do one scene a week.
