If you know, you know, and if you don’t, when I say that EVERY aspect that I put on my heart can confirm that not a single negative has come from finding Christianity, on the contrary, every corner is raised to a higher level and what did not serve me has fallen. to the side’.

‘I’m not going to record any more videos for [OnlyFans]. I think I have about nine or ten releases left. I will not be inviting or inviting [sic] not giving myself anymore, or any of my being to anyone other than what I have done,” she continued.
Hayley admitted that being an adult entertainer was always “so far away” from her real identity, adding that the industry had brought “so much negativity” into her life over the years.
‘I suffered from severe anxiety, I wasn’t sure who I was because I was trying to be someone else. I just decided it doesn’t serve me. It’s soul destroying, I’m just going to say it,” she complained.
“And I know a lot of people will say, ‘You’re a hypocrite’… But I was meant to go through this phase of my life. I was never meant to be in it,” she added.
