The model shocked her fans when she permanently quit her career as an adult film actress. She decided to leave the industry because of some of the things she experienced as an actress.
Rhoades revealed that she still struggles with the mental impacts of one scene in particular. She stated,
“One of the worst… honestly, I feel like I’m in denial sometimes and I can’t accept some of the things that I’ve done. There was one thing that, ya know, I tried talking to a therapist about before something that I had to do for a scene that was really rough for me. Basically, this guy had a bowl and he, like, gagged me until I threw up into it and he, like, pissed in the bowl, and during the scene, he asked me to drink it, and I didn’t know how to say no. It was one of the most disgusting, foul scenes.”
Rhoades’ decision to leave the p*rn industry for good was prompted by a series of horrifying encounters. The former actress hopes she could remove all of her recordings from the internet. She told Harry Jowsey for his Tap In podcast that she wishes she could go back in time and remove her tapes, but that she doesn’t have the legal authority to do so.
“A lot of the videos I have no rights under, otherwise I probably would have deleted them all by now.”
When asked whether she regrets her time in the industry, Rhoades said:
“I do. I honestly tell people, if I could go back, I would give up everything to have my dignity and respect back, and for people not to be able to see me in that way.”
Before quitting permanently, she made several attempts to leave the industry but returned. Her first break was in August 2016 when she traveled to Chicago for three months. She got back into acting later in November.
She took another break in 2018 and decided to venture into a personal project; however she came back again in January 2020.
Rhoades is now an influencer and digital creator. She hosts her podcast 3 Girls 1 Kitchen (3G1K) with Olivia Davis and Alexa Adams. She also has a self-titled YouTube channel with over 1 million subscribers, but it is not particularly active, with only four videos currently available.
She also works as a brand ambassador for a number of companies, including Fashion Nova.
