Q&A: Molly Stewart Triumphs as America's Sweetheart

Q&A: Molly Stewart Triumphs as America's Sweetheart

Apple pie. Freedom of speech. Baseball. Guns. Country. Motorcycles. Stars and stripes. Soldiers. Uncle Sam. National pride. The bald eagle.

Molly Stewart is making America great again.

I love this country, I support our military, I support cops, I support the right to bear arms and I support everyone’s right to their own opinion.

Standing tall, literally at six feet of sculpted feminine glory and figuratively with her outspoken personality, this multi-faceted star does it all: professional shoots as a MindGeek contract star, cam modeling on MyFreeCams, video clips on MFC Share and ManyVids, major magazine features for the likes of Playboy and Hustler, plus so much more.

And, she is as approachable, bubbly and sexy as they come.

Fiery, but friendly, Stewart is no stranger to melting triggered snowflakes, especially when she defies the “1984”-style mainstream media-driven hegemonic guilt-tripping narrative that fuels all manner of virtue-signaling public hysteria with a constant dripfeed of daily #outrage peddled by Silicon Valley masters of the universe and their millions of brainwashed zeitgeist-serving automatons.

Yes, she has at times openly supported President Donald J. Trump and espoused several conservative values, but that doesn’t make her some cookie-cutter villain to be propped up as a straw man during intense political debates. After all, she is supremely sex-positive and ultra-accepting of lifestyle choices, so long as they’re not infringing on her liberties or telling her what to think, feel, say and do with her life for the sake of political correctness. Just as there are many shades of liberal, so too are there many shades of conservative.

Bottom line? Independence is her core.

Patriotic love for the U.S., its freedoms, its values and the boundless opportunities it makes available to all law-abiding citizens? Yes.

As a gamer and cosplayer, Stewart is also a bona fide geeky nerd behind all the glamorous finery, and actually prefers not to go too wild with the makeup even when she is on cam. Keeping it real, right in the feels, with the very best business deals. Who can ask for anything more from such a badass babe?

To ride-or-die alongside Stewart and wave that red, white and blue flag, while saluting the boys in blue who hold the thin blue line between order and chaos, XBIZ buckled up for this exclusive Cam Star of the Month interview.

XBIZ: In your six-and-a-half years of camming, what have been the most significant personal and professional milestones you’ve achieved?

Stewart: Well, I celebrated my six-year “cammiversary” as we say, back in February. There are many years to come, I hope, despite branching into new adventures, both business and personal. That’s the wonderful thing about camming, is that it’s a flexible job; it changes with you, moves with you and can make you realize new things about yourself that you weren’t aware of starting off.

As far as achievements go, I would say my largest personal achievement has been accomplished this year — I bought a home of my own, at only 27 years old. I would say that’s a big thing. I also have enough experience under my belt now, as well, to make sure that it’s safeguarded from shady individuals. It’s an investment back into my job, as I plan to rent it out for shoots as a location for production teams down the road. It feels so good to be able to know I’m not throwing my money into someone else’s mortgage and can do whatever I want to the place and make it my own.

As far as professional milestones, I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve been very lucky, to be honest. Things that I used to think were the most important now take a back seat. Since 2017, four years into camming, things have just blown up. It started with Playboy Plus, boosting me to Cybergirl of the Month, then shortly after, I was finding myself on magazine covers like Penthouse, being nominated (though I never expect to win) for multiple awards like XBIZ and even winning a few Alt Awards trophies through Twitter. Heck, I got to be on stage presenting awards for XBIZ in January as an official Trophy Girl, that was such a trip.

February of this year, I was in Hustler Magazine as well, so at this point I feel I’ve conquered the print publications and I’m very honored to have been chosen by so many companies. One of the biggest things that happened started in 2018 when I signed a contract with MindGeek. I never really thought of going into professional porn, but the offer was good and it’s just a small step from what I do online in my own room at home. They’ve given me so much assistance, promotion and have been just amazing through the whole thing. I also re-signed my contract with them in February of this year, so I’m on for another six months! I can’t wait to see what upcoming years hold.

XBIZ: Tell us what your preferred platforms are for camming, clips and social media. Why?

Stewart: My platforms are … extensive to say the least. I’ll start by telling you the platform I like the least — Instagram. I know many performers are harassed and targeted by this platform. It’s honestly disgusting. Not posting nudity, implied nudity, sexual comments, etc. doesn’t matter. I’ve recently had my eighth Instagram deleted. The support is entirely absent and they target adult industry women (and men) specifically. I have reasoning why I think that is, which may not be what you think, but I’ll leave that for another day.

My favorite cam site is MyFreeCams. I have my own gripes and annoyances about the site, but it’s the best that I’ve found, despite all the issues. I’ve also been camming there for so long that my fan base resides there, and I’m so intricately wound up in the platform that going elsewhere isn’t worth my time. I think, for the most part, they provide the features and some level of support that we, as cam girls, need. I have lots of suggestions for the site and how it could be better, but I know they’re working on it all the time, and to what I hope to be the best of their abilities.

As far as clips, I sell through MyFreeCams, but I also like ManyVids … because it’s so easy. I can just upload a bunch of new content, and let it sit without much effort put in, while collecting a small paycheck every month. I like the contests that they run as well and I’ve not had any issues with the site or admins, though some girls say they have. It’s unfortunate that not everyone has had the best experience because I do recommend the site to friends for passive-income on clips, but you can’t please everyone all the time, that’s just running a business.

Twitter is pretty much the only social media I even use anymore, and it’s because, despite having a partial shadowban, I haven’t been banned from the site and that’s more than I can say for Instagram.

XBIZ: How do you balance your time and energy to stay on top of these various revenue streams? What are your biggest moneymakers and traffic sources?

Stewart: I have 24 hours in every day, and I honestly wish it were more. As time goes on, I find myself more and more stretched between different obligations. I like being busy, I thrive on it … I always have. As much as I’d love a day off doing absolutely nothing, I know that will come eventually. Until then, I want to grind as much as I can while I’m able.

Time management is something I need to be a little better on, but it’s a work in progress. I try to make a list of specific things that need doing every single day, and if I can clear all the high-priority and half the low-priority ones, I consider it a win.

I try to put as much effort as I can into everything I’m involved in. My first priority is currently my contract with MindGeek. I try to know my dates far in advance so I can plan around them. Second comes camming. I try to do this as much as I can, even on days where I have a set shoot. My Crew/Mafia have always been there for me, and I try to make them as much of a priority as possible. They’ve been very understanding about how busy I’ve become, and I can’t thank them enough for that.

After just being on cam, I would say videos come next. I always want to be pushing out new content, because even though my old stuff is good, imagine if you could only watch one episode of “Friends” for the rest of the year. You’d just as soon as not watch any TV.

I try to keep up with my other platforms like Patreon, MV Crush, Cameo and others, but those are smaller passive things that end up taking a backseat. After my current contract finishes or I find that things don’t have as much pressure, I’ll be able to manage those better as well.

XBIZ: Discuss your nerd and geek creds. From gaming to cosplaying, what characters and series have proven most popular among your fans — and which ones have been your go-to sources of entertainment — in 2019 especially?

Stewart: Cosplay is so fun for me, I love dressing up and having a little on-screen adventure. I would say a fan-favorite is Harley Quinn, Arkham-style Harley, not “Suicide Squad” Harley with severe “daddy issues.” Though this year, I’ve also pushed out “Jinkies!” — a Velma cosplay video and photo set that was quite popular.

Last year my big cosplay was Red Sonja, and that was a trip. Literally, I drove out into Death Valley to film it, lugging around my big rubber-man, sword, camera equipment, smoke bombs and fake blood. This year, I also just finished filming a three-girl cosplay video called “Gotham Girls,” which can be found on MyFreeCams and ManyVids. It was shot by Marcos Rivera, my co-stars were Maitland Ward (Bat Girl) and Jayden Cole (Cat Woman). I was Poison Ivy in the first video I’ve done as the red-haired villain. It came out amazing — both me and the fans were very happy with the results.

Sadly, gaming has taken a backseat for me this year. I’ve literally been so busy that by the time I do get some free time, I don’t want to spend it in front of a computer. When I do play, it’s usually Smash Brothers or some casual equivalent with my friend Cosmic Neko. Although, I have been casually playing, then coming back a week later, to “Obduction.” It’s an older, puzzle-type thinking game, and I find it kind of relaxing … though also frustrating.

XBIZ: How did you get involved in more traditional adult shoots, ranging from Penthouse to Playboy, Twistys and Brazzers? Any plans to do content beyond solo and GG?

Stewart: So, Playboy and Penthouse were actually pushed by my friends (I could say fans, but these guys I’ve known for so long, we are friends). I never thought I was good enough to get publications like that. I had no plans to even try, but they contacted the companies, who then reached out to me. I wouldn’t have had any of those opportunities without them.

After I did those shoots, I just fell in love. Playboy was the start. I love being in front of the camera. I love teasing and feeling sexy, as well as interacting with people who aren’t on the other side of a screen. And don’t get me wrong, I love camming and the time I spend online, but it can also be very isolating at times. Imagine if your whole day was spent talking to a screen without hearing anything else back. I had weeks … months … where the only people I would talk to were at the local grocery store.

Twistys happened last year, starting around the summer. We were put in contact with each other by Holly Randall, who had shot my Cybergirl of the Month set for Playboy Plus. They came right at me with an offer, and I didn’t even give it that much thought. I jumped. I was ready for a new adventure, and that’s exactly what I got. I love acting, even if it’s just cheesy porn scripts. I’ve met so many new people in the industry who are so understanding, caring and just amazing individuals.

Whenever I walk on set, I know it’s going to be interesting in one way or another. MindGeek has such an amazing staff as well, and I know they always have my back. They reached out to me, asking if there were any types of scenes or fantasies that I hadn’t done yet. I sent back a fully-written script. They loved it, and with a few small changes, I shot it in February with Jenna Sativa and another familiar industry face (stay tuned). As far as more, I don’t currently have plans to do anything other than GG and solo, but you never know…

XBIZ: What lessons from studio shoots have helped you evolve your camming and clips game? How about the reverse, or are they such different beasts, that there is little overlap? Compare and contrast them.

Stewart: I know this is a bit silly, but aside from meeting new performers to work with/create content with … not much. In fact, something I’ve been told is that because of how mindful I always am being in frame on my cam site, making sure to work my angles, and having to be someone who is involved, not stationary, that has actually helped me on set. I don’t need a lot of direction, and things flow very easily.

I don’t find studio shoots to be much different experiences. I guess the biggest difference would be that I don’t look directly into the camera … though I recently filmed a video where I was a “live streamer,” thus looking into and addressing the camera. I think another difference is how much makeup I wear when on set … it takes so long to get ready, which I know is its own thing and has to be all polished, but at home I hardly wear any makeup. I don’t do, for instance, foundation, or spend forever on my hair. I just do some eyeshadow, gloss, brush my hair and go. Though, sometimes I’m lazy and don’t even brush my hair. It’s that whole “just got out of bed” look, I guess.

I have fun doing both, and they have some differences, of course. I guess it would be a big difference to me if I were shy and more comfortable only in my room in front of a webcam. I’m not, though, I am something of an exhibitionist, so I don’t mind other people on set, I don’t get stage fright and I don’t know what being nervous feels like.

XBIZ: From your love for motorcycles to your fearless MAGA politics, tell us about your all-American badass “Molly Stewart” brand. Is the line between personality and persona blurred or downright non-existent?

Stewart: My brand. That sounds so funny to say about myself. I mean, I know it’s true and maybe that’s the perception people have, that it’s just an image I’m putting out, maybe to get more views, maybe to cause some drama and get my name out there, maybe it’s all just a stunt. The thing is, though, it’s not. When I got into camming, I knew nothing about it. I logged online as myself, through and through. I’ve never wanted to be someone I’m not, unless I’m playing a character… but you can’t play someone else every day of your life, and that’s what camming is. It’s a daily thing, whether online streaming, or offline, on social media, anywhere and everything people have heard or seen, that’s you.

When I was a kid, I was home schooled, I didn’t have any friends, it was hard to make them and the other kids I knew thought I was weird. Partially because, let’s be honest, I wasn’t in their group at their school. I started to shut down, especially in high school, because I felt like nothing I did or said, no matter how hard I tried to fit in, ever made anyone like me. I started to not be myself, and it made no difference. After a hard summer, I was extremely depressed, and not at all ready to walk back into the youth group I was a part of at the church my family attended. My mom told me, “Fuck those pretentious snots.” And that’s honestly the only time when I was young that I remember hearing my mom swear.

“What you have to do,” she said, “is walk into that room with this mindset — I am the most interesting person in this place, I am who I am, I am not their clone. If they don’t like me, they’re missing out. I’m going to do what I want, and be who I am.” That is honestly the mindset I have had ever since.

I like motorcycles, so I ride them. I like dogs, so I have three. I like girls, and I like guys, but as of now, I only want to make videos with girls, so I do that. I love coffee, so I drink way too much of it and may get massive ulcers in the next year or two. I like straight whiskey, sipped in front of a fireplace on a rainy night. I love this country, I support our military, I support cops, I support the right to bear arms and I support everyone’s right to their own opinion. I don’t think we should be censored because our opinion may not be openly popular, I don’t think that we need to block people from our lives who may not believe in all the same things. I think open discussion and debate breeds new ideas and growth.

I love when people openly tell me that they’re going to block me on social media, after discovering I’m semi-conservative and generally support Trump. Suddenly, because I’m not conforming to the notion that all women and adult workers should be liberal, my boobs are somehow less attractive even though you’ve been jacking off to me for months? I always allow open political debate in my chatroom, I don’t ban people for having different views. I’m interested to hear them. Sometimes I’ll get a truly excellent discussion, sometimes I change my mind on something (not often, but it’s happened) and sometimes I change their mind. Often, however, it comes down to the opposing member/person calling me names, degrading me, with nothing to back up their claims. And do you know how much that hurts? It doesn’t.

I know who I am, I know what I believe and I won’t be bullied into backing down because of what some basement-dwelling, couch-hopping, leg-humping incel with a liberal arts degree tells me I should believe or how I should act. If you want to come to me with an argument, a debate, something level-headed and cognitive, I’ll talk to you for hours. Freedom of speech is there for everyone — it doesn’t end for me when I say something that offends you.

XBIZ: How do you stay in such excellent shape? Break down the exercise routine and the dietary choices you make.

Stewart: I drink about two pots of coffee a day. It’s a great way to … detox your system and give you energy. I wish I could type “LOL,” but that sounds so inane. Honestly, though, I work out on cam quite often. There is no reason to get lazy, even if I don’t have time to always hit the gym. I accept tokens for squats, random pushups, jumping jacks and pole dancing.

I do like to go to the gym, but it doesn’t always fit into my schedule. Eating healthy is important, but I can’t always do that, especially when I’m traveling, so I try to just count calories and make sure I’m consuming a healthy amount. I’m not a vegan or anything, I just eat what I want and in moderation. I think I’ve also been lucky genetically, because I have a high metabolism and come from a family of giants.

XBIZ: Who are your closest friends and colleagues in the industry?

Stewart: As far as other performers, that’s easy. I would have to say Ella Silver (@Ella_SilverMFC), Cosmic Neko (@CosmicNeko) and Jayden Cole (@JaydenCole). Ella and Neko are relatively new to my life, but those two ladies I would trust my life with. We get on so well, talk often and have such good chemistry together, both on and offline. Jayden is very new, we met on a set for Twistys and we just clicked right away. We are both tall redheads and we just bounce off each other so well. Camming and making content with her is never boring. All these ladies have been there for me in a pinch and to vent to, and vice versa, so I would definitely say they’re my closest friends.

As far as colleagues, I don’t want to give favorites to directors/producers because I would feel bad … but one of my favorite people to work with is Las Vegas-based as well, Marcos Rivera. And I add this because, even as close as I am to other producers like Holly Randall and Francois Clousot, Marcos has given me lots of trade work. I paid him to set up a great studio and film a video for me, and he just does amazing work. He’s also been very helpful in other aspects, letting me talk tough things through with him, being there for me, and is a very good friend.

XBIZ: Any grand and ambitious plans for this upcoming year?

Stewart: My biggest hope for this year is to get my movie in progress. I wrote a full-length script for a parody porn movie and I’d like to start it this year or at least the pre-planning stages of it. Ella Silver will be in it as well, as my co-star. It’s something that got put on the back burner for now, as I know it will take some time and that’s a limited resource for me right now, having signed a new contract that will take me to October.

Other than that, honestly just pumping out more videos, I have a lot of smaller works planned that will be easier to implement, a few rank runs on MyFreeCams and working on my new house. I’m sure things will keep popping up, so you’ll all just have to stay tuned. I barely know what’s happening next week, but that’s what’s exciting.
