ABC Primetime on pornstars Sunny Lane, Sophia Lynn
As a girl, Sunny Lane wanted to be a professional ice skater. Her mother, Shelby, decorated her glittery competition costumes, and her dad, Mike, cheered for his only child from the sidelines. Years later, they're still at it — only now they're helping their daughter chase her dreams of becoming a porn star. Primetime ratchets up the creep factor with scenes of mom and dad providing logistical and moral support. On a recent afternoon, Shelby answered the phone while Mike sat nearby in the living room. Upstairs, Sunny packed a suitcase for an evening full of appearances and outfit changes. Shelby helped, filling small plastic bags with costumes, makeup and music. Once Sunny has worn an outfit, Shelby puts it — unwashed, of course — back in a small plastic bags to one day auction off on their Web site. Sunny's underwear can bring in a lot of cash. "They'll pay $50 to $100 for panties," her mother said. [...] Mike and Shelby are proud of Sunny's success. Mike said that when he first saw Sunny on the Playboy channel, his reaction was, "Well, dreams do come true, I guess." [...] At the adult video convention in Las Vegas in January, Sunny was there to market herself, and her parents were right there beside her. But Shelby and Mike seem to have taken their support to a whole new level. While at the conference, they looked into getting life-size, anatomically correct sex dolls molded of their daughter. OK, even I'm a bit creeped out. Ick. But also a bit curious to check out her star turn in Cream Pie for the Straight Guy 3. She made the box cover! Mom and dad must be so proud.
The Lynn segments follow a more typical "cautionary tale" narrative about a girl who "comes from a devout Christian family and only got into porn to make some extra money", but who eventually "realized that I let a lot of my morals that I thought I had go" and left the biz. But not before perfecting that "gee I'm dumb, wanna fuck?" look. Adult Video News responded with a lengthy rebuttal to Primetime's biases and factual errors. "It's probably pointless at this late date to suggest that those who aren't well-versed in the tricks mainstream reporters use to make porn stars look bad probably shouldn't talk to those reporters — but it is helpful to know that mainstream reporting on the industry, even after more than a decade, is still the same old crap."
