A Glossary of Reality TV Stars Who Went on to Do Porn

Stars of Real World, Tool Academy, Real Housewives all eventually followed the path to porn.

It used to be when a new reality TV show was set to premiere, everyone would do some digging and turn up a cast member's porn past. Whether it was an American Idol contestant who failed to disclose a scandalous past or one of the many Rock of Love girls who turned out to be a Playboy "bunny," there was always a dramatic reveal and producers scrambling to clean up the PR mess. But for those who went on the show with relatively squeaky clean pasts, what was next after their moment in the sun? How did they extend their fifteen minutes into a solid twenty? While some went into acting and others into politics, some got into porn. Whether it was intentional (hardcore videos, posing for Playboy) or "accidental" (you have to love all those sex tape leaks), a number of reality stars stripped down in order to keep their careers going.

Much like our index of celebrity sex tapes or the complete guide to porn stars in film and TV, we present a glossary of reality stars who went on to do porn.

To keep things organized, we broke up the guide into four sections: Hardcore/Softcore Porn, Gay for Pay, Playboy "Bunnies" and Sex Tapes. Each personality falls into one of these categories based on their "sexy performance."

Is it empowering when celebrities post nudes on the Internet? Find out what some of us here at VH1 had to say in the following clip.
