LOS ANGELES—Adult performer and Penthouse Pet Mary Moody is featured in a new interview with the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) where she discusses her effort to raise awareness about credit card companies blocking Pornhub payments and putting sex workers at economic risk.
The article, “Sex Workers Say 'Defunding Pornhub' Puts Their Livelihoods at Risk” written by Thomas Fabbri on BBC.com focuses on how the loss of revenue affects sex workers and how they make a living. Despite Pornhub changing their policy and only allowing content verified users only, three major credit card companies are blocking payments to the site. Many sex workers rely on the income they receive from tips, selling their content, fan clubs, and views on Pornhub. Moody has asked sex workers to make videos to let Mastercard, Visa, and Discover hear their voices and understand the real issues.

The article also features Ginger Banks, Cara Vega, Valentina Nappi, and June Liu discuss the difficulty of switching to new platforms, how sex workers had no time to prepare for the fallout, and are losing years of followers they’ve built. Another critical element these ladies bring to light is what this is all about—shutting down adult content and not abuse, trafficking, and violence.
“Pornhub is how many of our fans find us and is at the top of Google searches. It’s all about survival during the pandemic for many sex workers," Moody said. "I want to raise awareness of how it’s affecting us and hope that other mainstream publications, shows, and sites will also cover this. The world needs to know and stand up with us against this huge injustice. Our fans and other sex workers have been working hard to get the message out there to credit card companies, in the hope they will really think about what they’re doing, reverse their decision, and help get sex workers back on their feet."
