VENICE, Calif. — XBIZ 2020 G/G Performer of the Year Charlotte Stokely has given an in-depth interview to XCritic.
“For those who don’t know much about her,” said a rep, “it’s a goldmine. For those who thought they knew everything about Charlotte, it’s full of surprises.”
XCritic’s Ossiana Tepfenhart sat down with Stokely for this extensive interview that ranges from her career beginnings, all the way to her current personal and professional life and how she is dealing with the quarantine.
"Charlotte says she first received an offer to perform when she was just 17 — underage, of course, so she declined," the rep explained. "In defense of the scout, he found her working as a stripper, so he was assumed she was of age. But it wasn’t long after turning 18 that it was, as she says, 'pornography showtime.'"
Now 15 years into her adult biz career, she’s “currently one of the top A-list actresses in the scene,” according to Tepfenhart, and appears in many of the industry’s biggest productions.
Stokely discusses the recent scene with Jessica Drake for Wicked’s “FANtasies,” becoming a brand ambassador for CAM4 — she’s doing three live shows a month for them — her OnlyFans profile and her relationship with her fans.
“This August, I will have been in porn for 16 years,” Stokely said. “I have fans still with me since Day One. This is amazing. The loyalty, love and support from my fans is something I never even dreamed possible. Many of them have become real-life friends. My career would be nothing without my fans. For example, I wouldn’t have won some of my awards without fan voting and had the opportunity to shoot with Jessica Drake because that was by voting. I love my fans very much.”
The interview goes into detail about Stokely’s kinks, BDSM, her fascination with science, becoming a health coach and her burgeoning writing career.
“I’m a pretty positive person overall and I will say that I’ve learned a lot,” she said. “At work and in real life, I don’t do anything I don’t want to do. Porn has taught me a lot about managing a business, marketing, commitment to schedules and updates — it’s given me a lot of structure."
Stokely added that porn has "given me the freedom of self-expression sexually. It’s connected me with thousands of amazing people. I’m in charge of my schedule and because of this, I was able to go back to school while simultaneously running my career. After a year of fast-paced online schooling, I just graduated! Time management is a very important key here. Porn has positively influenced my life in these ways and many others.”
