At first glance, Bree Olson, an extremely cute, petite blonde, cannot be suspected of having a turbulent past closely tied to the adult industry. Before trying to find her calling in the field of cinema for the mass audience, the former American porn actress starred in more than 280 erotic films. Currently, she is skeptical about everything related to porn, and encourages girls to change their minds and not look for an easy life. What influenced her opinion?
How it all started
Bree Olson was born on October 7, 1986 in Houston, Texas, USA. Her real name is Rachel Marie Oberlin. Bree's grandmother, of Ukrainian origin, was a Holocaust survivor and later emigrated to America. Information about the rest of the family members is carefully hidden from the press. It is known that Bree has a sister who is 9 years younger than her.
She did not immediately find her calling. The girl managed to learn what low-paid physical labor is, working as a corn cleaner and a waitress at a local restaurant. In 2005, the future porn actress graduated from high school and entered Purdue University in Fort Wayne (Indiana), dreaming of linking her life with medicine. But already in her second year, Bree dropped out of school, opting for a career in adult entertainment. Initially, she planned to combine work and study, but constant employment negatively affected her grades.
Bree admitted that she had long wanted to become a porn star, but the young man with whom she met for 4 years did not approve of her desire. After ending the relationship, the girl finally monetized her natural talents. “That's what has always interested me. I really love sex,” she commented.
Climbing the career ladder
Her stage name came from the name of a school friend, combined with a variation on the Olsen twins' surname, who were incredibly popular during that period. Throughout her time in adult films, the girl starred under the names Bree Olson, Bree, Bree X, Brea.
Brie entered the porn industry in November 2006. She was immediately noticed by leading companies such as Digital Playground, Elegant Angel and Red Light District Video. In 2007, Olson entered into a long-term contract with Adam & Eve. In March 2008, she became Penthouse Pet. 2008 was an eventful year. The girl received the AVN award as “Best New Starlet”. In an interview after the award, Brie admitted that her favorite position in sex is when the guy is on top and does all the work for both of them. “I like to just lie down and have fun. I am a man in a woman's body.”
Brie was later featured on the cover of Hustler in the UK. The blonde was warmly received by the press, many men's magazines published her photos, including Club, Barely Legal and, of course, Playboy. Maxim named her one of the top 12 women in porn.
But Bree always wanted more: in 2007, she decided to conquer the world of television. The girl appeared in an episode of the first season of the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians as a nanny, but was fired instantly. The show's producers came to the conclusion that Bree's clothes and demeanor were out of place in the spotlight.
But her attempts to break into the cinema “for everyone” did not end there. In 2009, Brie appeared in the independent comedy film Purgatory Comics. And later, after she announced the end of her career as a porn actress, she played in the horror films “The Human Centipede 3” and “Director's Cut”. In 2015, she was offered a role in the short film Power Rangers and starred in a series of videos for Will Ferrell and Academy Award winner Adam McKay.
During her pornographic career, in addition to AVN, Olson has received a huge number of awards from NightMoves, XRCO, FAME, NightMoves, Adam Film World Guide. Bree amassed a huge fortune. She was able to earn over $5 million from adult films and magazine shoots. Olson estimated she was earning between $30,000 and $60,000 a month before she “retired.”
Personal life: boys and porn
Bree is bisexual. She dated Brooke Mueller, Jim Norton, Lexington Steele and Amy Reid. But you can not ignore her stormy romance with Charlie Sheen, a famous actor and screenwriter. Olson was one of his “goddesses”. Charlie Sheen called her and pornographic actress Natalie Kenley such a poetic word, which, according to him, filled the missing parts of his heart, putting it together. Although it is fair to say that the yellow publications were more impressed by the scandalous consequences of their breakup than the beginning of the relationship.
Olson and Sheen separated in 2011, the same year Sheen contracted HIV. Bree did not find out about the diagnosis until several years later, when Shin publicly announced his trouble. “He never told me anything,” the actress said on The Howard Stern Show, accusing the star of lying. “I was his girlfriend, I loved him. For a year, we had sex almost every day and sometimes neglected security measures.” Fortunately, the girl's tests to determine her HIV status turned out to be negative. Sheen's press office defended the actor, saying he contracted the virus after the couple broke up.
Currently, Bree Olson has not married. She lives with a transgender woman named Susie. They stopped hiding their relationship in March 2016.
How to survive porn
After ending her career as a porn star, Bree tried to return to normal life. At first, the girl was very confident: “I think I'm a damn good actress, and I think I could star in blockbusters or star in a series.” But the enthusiasm did not last long. Bree faced a harsh reality. She did not expect to face the prejudice and judgment of others.
Olson shared her feelings in the “Real Women, Real Stories” interview series that became popular among feminists. In the video, Olson says there's nothing wrong with porn or with women discovering their sexuality. Despite this, she warns young girls against entering the adult film industry because of how society will treat them.
Bree said she was deeply unhappy. It is difficult for her to find work and friends. No one wants to have anything to do with her after they find out about her past life. “When I leave the house, it seems to me that I have “prostitute” written on my forehead. Sometimes I'm locked up for days at a time. I'm scared and don't want to look people in the eye. They don't treat me like a former sex worker. They act like I'm a criminal and a danger to their children.”
Olson was afraid that she would not be able to protect her loved ones from ridicule and stated that she did not want to have children. For the same reason, she is not ready to receive higher education and work in the healthcare sector. “Every time I think about returning to regular work, I read about the experience of former employees of the industry, and it causes me unbearable pain,” Olson wrote on her social networks. And her concern is not unfounded. Bree reminded the public of Diana Hampton, a 50-year-old judge from Nevada whose death sparked a heated discussion about her past as a stripper. “How could she do this? How was she not fired? — thought the girl.
Out of desperation, Bree turned to a familiar area and began working as a webcam model. She understands that she could lose her license if she gets a job as a nurse, and in the end she will still return to where she started. But the girl continues to dream of becoming an actress and believes that she must reach the end. In her free time, she devotes herself to cooking vegetarian dishes or playing with her cats.
“I've heard a lot of negativity from people. They said that I would never become a famous and popular actress because I starred in porn, I could not just come to the casting and apply for the role, like everyone else. At first it upset me, but then I thought, where did they get this from? Yes, I will not be another Disney princess, but that does not mean that I am mediocre.
