Jennings, 23, told the world on Twitter that she had quit her internship at Lazard Asset Management to become a porn star. In an interview with the Daily News, Jennings said:
I have a finance degree and knew I wanted to apply it in business. I couldn’t find my sweet spot and I did think about how I’m sexual and how much I enjoy anything related to that. And I knew that’s never going to fly in a very conservative environment.
She went on to tell the News that she hopes to make her adult movie debut in the reality show, The Sex Factor, a play on the music talent show, The X-Factor. The show will be hosted by fellow citizen porn star Belle Knox. The show’s producer, Buddy Ruben, told the News, “She speaks really well. She’s intelligent. She’s beautiful and she’s down for whatever.” He added that he signed up for the show three hours after reading her application.
