Peepz, I’ve been following this story for the last few months because it happened in Jersey and it involves BDSM and job security.
You can read the details of the original situation in THIS POST of mine from back in June…but to wrap things up in a neat little bow for those of you who are fans of the TL:DR philosophy:
A female cop in Jersey was fired when someone leaked the secret that she used to do fetish videos. Not porno…She was a dominatrix who topped men on camera and the sheriff’s department in Hudson County decided that she was unfit to be an officer.
It was fucking bullshit.
Kristen Hyman has taken it to the courts to keep her job. She’s saying that this whole mess with her being outed began because she turned down the sexual advances of Robert Pompliano, an attorney for the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office.
Again…that’s some fucking bullshit.
To me, this feels like a revenge porn type of situation without the porn. There are a few other women who have dealt with Pompliano and said that he was a creeper, touching them and making unprofessional advances.
Fuck him, honestly.
If the whole #metoo movement had something to do with Kristen speaking out about the lawyer, good for her. She was hired to do a job that she was doing well and when people found out about how she made a bit of money prior to that position, they got antsy and puritanical.
It pisses me off so much when people judge those of us who decide to make videos, whether our clothes are on or off. There is a crazy huge stigma that is attached to people who make money in the adult industry, especially the on camera talent. It’s fucked. I’m lucky enough to be in a position where I can afford to not give a shit if my employers find out about my clips, but there are tons of people out there who can’t.
Doing kinky things in front of the camera doesn’t make you a bad worker and it shouldn’t make you unhirable.
I’m very curious to see how this case turns out. Setting a positive precedent for sex workers would be amazing and I’ve got my fingers crossed that the justice system will rule in Kristen’s favor and let her keep her job.
