Lana Rhoades has revealed the 'pickles' she used to get paid per scene in the adult film industry.

The 27-year-old left the world of adult film eight months after she first entered it and has since used her fame and platform to speak out about her experiences.

In an interview with Curious Mike, Rhoades opened up about her the lack of support or guidance she felt she received in the adult film industry, particularly given she joined at the age of 19.

She told the host: "There's not really anything set up to protect girls that are young and vulnerable that don't know how to say no or don't have self-respect for themselves yet or care for themselves or love themselves because they've been through so much and are like taught not to."

Rhoades added she was around loads of older men in their forties who 'know exactly like how to get you to do what [...] they want to make them money'.

In comparison, Rhoades would make 'pickles' - but how much exactly is that?

Rhoades reveals despite being 'the number one porn star' her rate was '$1,200 for a sex scene'.

She explains 'a lot' of the girls would come from small towns and their families 'probably don't have money' which can lead them to believe the amount is a lot at the time.

"I thought $100 at the time was like so much money," she continues. "So getting $1,200 was like a big deal."

However, she then met an influencer who was popular on YouTube and Instagram and she realised she could earn money a completely different way and without performing in sex scenes on camera. The YouTuber was reportedly getting $15,000 to post a photograph on Instagram, a staggering amount compared to Rhoades' sex scene fee.

She resolves: "The guys don't understand what's going on behind the scenes and then also people are like, 'Oh you knew what you got into' and you get backlash for talking out about it.

"I think it's because men like consuming porn and they don't want to feel guilty for consuming it and so they don't want to hear that I felt the way that I felt."

Rhoades has previously hit out at the industry, not just condemning it but saying she believes it should be made illegal.

Since leaving the industry, Rhoades has gone on to become an influencer alongside opening up a clothing and lingerie line.
