WELLS, Nev.—Madam Bella Cummins, owner and operator of the legal brothel Bella’s Hacienda Ranch, shares her controversial profession on episode #174 of the "Stripped by Sia" podcast. The conversation delves into Cummins's background and how she acquired the ranch, explores the madam’s hiring process, reveals her strategies for recruiting and retaining top talent at the bordello, and details the distinctive characteristics that set Cummins’s house apart from others in Nevada.
Sia wrote in the show notes, "Bella is the owner of one of the longest-running brothels in the state of Nevada and the only sex worker-operated brothel in the state. I've been enjoying learning about the legal brothel system in Nevada, the only place in the U.S.A. where sex work is legalized. Having interviewed legal courtesans in the past, I thought I'd switch gears on this week's episode and interview a brothel owner instead."
Thanks to the podcaster’s genuine interest in Cummins's profession and Sia’s thoughtful questions, the madam claims that she was able to divulge more intricate details about her business practices than in any previous interviews.
Cummins said, "Sia has authentic respect and compassion for sex workers. Her insatiable curiosity and inquisitive nature sparked a conversation that not only uncovers the distinctive nature of Nevada's legal brothel industry but also explores the subtle nuances and unique attributes that set each legal business apart within the industry."
