How ’90s porn star who slept with 620 men in just eight hours spiraled into drug addiction and financial ruin
As today’s top OnlyFans stars like Lily Phillips and Annie Knight compete to bed the most men in the shortest amount of time, a cautionary tale from the woman who started it all might make them think twice about their future.
Kim Halsey, best known by her stage name Houston, became an X-rated sensation in the late 1990s after breaking the world record for most sexual partners in a single session for her now infamous film, The World’s Biggest Gang Bang III.
The plan was to sleep 500 men, easily breaking Jasmin St. Claire’s record of 300, but the stunt was such a success that Houston reached as many as 620 men before calling it a day.
The film became an instant bestseller and immediately catapulted the single mother to infamy.
She appeared all over TV and radio, signed a record deal, toured the world, dated celebrities and even auctioned off a piece of her own labia for six figures.
Behind the scenes, however, Houston was dealing with a dangerous drug addiction, financial problems, and creepy male fans who recognized her wherever she went.
While Houston publicly portrayed herself as an adult superstar during the height of her fame, the truth about her raunchy career couldn’t be starker.
To land her career-making role in the record-breaking film, Houston first had to participate in a taboo sex act with one of the video’s sleazy producers.

Houston detailed the ordeal in her 2012 autobiography, titled Pretty Enough: The Story of the Gang Bang Queen, writing, “When I agreed to do it, he did everything he could to humiliate me as much as possible.”
She continued, “He spat on me, called me awesome and did everything he could to make me feel like shit.”
Once she secured her starring role, Houston did the unthinkable right before filming: she got a religious tattoo of a cherub.
“It was my way of asking God to forgive me for what I was about to do,” she admitted.
“It may surprise you to hear this, but my faith has always been very important to me, even if I sometimes put it on the back burner.”
On the big day of filming, Houston, dressed as a sexy speed racer, was surrounded by crowds of men, fluffers, lighting technicians and a camera crew.
She admits she used “porn math” to perform 620 sex acts in just eight hours, meaning every penetration, no matter how brief, was counted.
Although her suitors all had to be tested to prove they were disease-free, the group wasn’t exactly what you’d describe as gentlemen.
She described her spiral into drug addiction in her 2012 memoir, Pretty Enough: The Story of the Gang Bang Queen.
At the height of her fame, Houston appeared all over TV and radio, signed a record deal, toured the world and even dated A-list celebrities.
Describing the participants, Houston said the diverse gang included a “speed freak in full-blown psychosis,” a Burt Reynolds impersonator, and worst of all, a male performer who had put his own mother in a pornographic film to pay off a gambling game to pay. debt.
“One by one they climbed on top of me, and their faces became a blur,” Houston wrote.
After passing 500, Houston decided to continue for “another lap or two” until she was so exhausted that she had to quit.
“Something inside me collapsed, physically and emotionally,” she recalled.
‘It felt like someone had pointed a flamethrower at my crotch. I retreated backstage and applied ice to my swollen and battered vagina, fighting back tears.”
After breaking the previous record and then some, Houston and crew celebrated by eating mozzarella sticks at fast food chain TGI Friday’s.
“The next day I took a flight to Mexico and spent the next two weeks recovering,” she wrote.
After a short break, Houston returned to work touring strip clubs across the country and enjoying her new celebrity status.
By the end of the year, she had earned almost a million dollars and was the highest-paid feature dancer next to porn legend Jenna Jameson.
“I had more than enough to cover the costs of raising my daughter,” she wrote.
‘I bought a house in Granada Hills and several cars. “I’m not sure where the rest of the excess money went, but I suspect a fair amount went to drug dealers, liquor stores, clothing designers, home remodelers and plastic surgeons.”

As her fame and bank account grew, so did Houston’s addiction to both drugs and plastic surgery.
She admitted to using cocaine and crystal meth to get energy for her grueling strip club performances, often going days without eating.
In 2002, her bank account is dwindling and the house she bought with her hard-earned money is in danger of foreclosure.
‘I had always been a functional addict, in the sense that I was clearly addicted to all the drugs I was taking, but somehow I always managed to do the work I needed to do to provide for my daughter and myself. concerns,” she wrote.
“But at that point there was so much money going into drugs that no matter how much I made, it just wasn’t enough,” she continued.
“One day I realized that if I didn’t change something, I would die soon.”
In addition to her crippling drug addiction, Houston also struggled with a penchant for plastic surgery that nearly cost her life.
“No matter how many compliments I received, how many people told me how attractive they found me, how many beauty pageants I won, I never felt pretty enough,” she admitted.
“Plastic surgery gave me the opportunity to fix things I hated about myself, but as time went on, it became an addiction, an obsession.”
At one point she almost died after having a labiaplasty and a breast revision in one go.
She replaced her silicone implants with saline at the time, but after the surgery one of her breasts congealed and cut off oxygen to her brain.
It swelled to the size of a watermelon before Houston fainted and was rushed into surgery, which barely saved her life.
In an attempt to turn her life around, Houston fled Los Angeles for Las Vegas, aiming to make a fresh start in a new city.
However, she took her drug addiction with her, admitting that her dealers in LA shipped her medications in bath salt containers so she could maintain her habit.
Eventually she became so addicted to drugs that she could not pick up her daughter from school.
When she reached her lowest point, Houston turned to the only person who could help her.
“I crawled into my closet and crawled over the tide and prayed,” she wrote.
“God, please help me get off drugs. Please. I want to be a mother one day. I don’t want to be Houston anymore,” she begged.
She decided to go cold turkey, and after finally getting clean, the blonde bombshell quit porn and enrolled in real estate school.
Unfortunately, this was not the end of her problems.
She admitted to using cocaine and crystal meth to stay energetic during her grueling strip club performances, often going days without eating.
Houston eventually gave up drugs and pornography and joined a Christian church that catered to sex workers
After getting her real estate license and joining a renowned agency in Nevada, Houston was fired when her bosses discovered her X-rated past.
She argued for her job, telling her bosses that she had been out of the industry for almost a decade, but they wouldn’t budge.
“There’s no way someone with your reputation could be on the front lines for us,” they told her.
A week after he was discharged, Houston was diagnosed with stage three cancer.
After using up all her porn money and now finding herself unemployed, Houston turned to her parents, among others, to help pay for her treatment.
Fifteen lymph nodes were removed from her arm and she miraculously survived, despite being given a 20 percent chance of survival.
The experience only increased Houston’s faith in God, and she eventually joined a church focused on embracing people coming out of sex work.
“Now I feel like I have a mission in Christ,” she wrote in her memoir. “You don’t just have to sell your body to make money.”
Houston’s hardships are a cautionary tale for many of today’s OnlyFans starlets, who continue to push the boundaries in a bid for fame and fortune.
Lily Phillips, 24, recently shocked the world after revealing she had sex with more than 100 men in one night as part of a stunt to promote her OnlyFans – and that her next goal is to bed 1,000 men in 24 hours to bring.

Her antics have even shocked some of her fellow sex workers, including OnlyFans sensation Kassidie Kosa, who condemned Lily’s scandalous behavior and warned others not to follow in her footsteps.
“To be honest, I think doing something so extreme can be a form of self-harm, even if people don’t always see it that way,” she previously told DailyMail.com.
“It feels like it could come from a deeper emotional place – whether it’s the need for attention, validation or just trying to stand out in such a competitive space like OnlyFans,” she continued.
“I fully respect that people can make their own choices, but this type of behavior is not sustainable or healthy in the long term.”
Kassidie, who currently earns seven figures on OnlyFans, also fears Lily’s behavior could push other models to go to extremes to create content.
“It also sends a message to others in the industry that pushing yourself to dangerous extremes is normal, and that’s just not okay,” she said.
“I really think she needs help – and I say that with so much respect. The fact that she now plans to sleep with even more men next time is really alarming.
“It is not sustainable, it is not healthy and it should not be normalized,” she warned.
