Former porn star Sasha Grey is under pressure from parents to back out from participating in a national elementary school reading program, but she's not caving in. In a statement, Sasha Grey says "I committed to this program with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am and what I represent."
For the record, Grey has been out of the adult business for 2 years.
She adds, "I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am."
"I believe in the future of our children, and I will remain an active supporter and participant in education-focused initiatives."
