Cherie DeVille, one of adult entertainment’s most accomplished performers and outspoken advocates, appears in the debut season of The Reality Of, an investigative podcast series that takes an unflinching look at pornography and its place in modern society.
The first season, rolls out beginning September 24 and spans eight in-depth episodes. Hosted by investigative journalist Liz Keen, the series tackles questions about porn’s impact on kids, relationships, mental health, violence in adult content, the rise of AI, and whether regulation can fix – or worsen – the issues at hand.
DeVille, who has worked in adult film for more than 15 years, brings a crucial insider’s perspective to the conversation. Known not only for her award-winning career but also for her activism and leadership roles in the industry, she offers a candid look at what it means to work in porn while confronting ongoing debates about stigma, safety and free speech.
“Being part of this series was important to me because these conversations affect all of us, not just performers,” said DeVille. “The reality is that porn is deeply woven into our culture, and avoiding that fact doesn’t protect anyone – it just leaves us unprepared. I hope people listening can see beyond the stereotypes and better understand the human side of this work, and why protecting both performers and viewers matters.”
