Hello Jewel for those that do not know you please let us know you are and please describe yourself?
I’m a porn legend due to the fact I’ve won over 30 plus adult industry awards and was a award winning female director when it was frowned upon. I also used to own a porn studio back in the day. I have also appeared in numerous centerfolds and adult magazine covers all over the world.
What prompted you to join the adult industry?
I was dancing at Tropical Lei and it had a adult store attached to it and I wanted to be like the girls I saw on the covers. Back then, 20 years ago, box covers were glamorous and VHS and DVD rentals were a thing. It happened that Selena Steele was featured at the club where I was working and she said if I was going to be that entertaining on stage I should do porn and the rest is history. Then I ended up doing one of my first movies with Peter North, he was interested in me on a personal level, which was very unheard of as in his long career he never pursued anyone. I had no clue whom he was which made him even more interested in me. He made me a overnight star as everyone was curious whom this new starlet was that caught the golden boy of porn’s attention. We dated for two years and he ended the relationship between us as my fame grew and the pressures of my career took it’s toll on our relationship. I never regretted anything or my relationship with him but I was young and ambitious and my career came first and at a cost.
You recently started a a Twitter and OnlyFans account and started producing new content after extended time away from the industry. What were you up to during your time away and what lead you to come back?
I’m recently divorced and started dating a younger guy he was clueless about my past but I was open about it because it’s not a secret that should be kept nor easy to hide. I left the industry long ago never expecting to return but he encouraged my return as he felt I was too big a star and had so much taken from me that I should do it for myself since I have no one to answer to. I’d never had that support before and after having to hide and made to feel ashamed for my past I was finally free to be me. It’s very liberating to to be your true self. I never regretted my career but it was used against me in past relationships so I just left it behind sadly. But now I’m back and in a good place and doing whatever I want to do. I had no idea about Only fans until my partner showed it to me and asked if it was something I’d be up for. I instantly fell in love with the format and working on my own terms. Being one on one with my fans has been amazing and I’m so glad I did it and you can check me out at Onlyfans.com/jewel_denyle . I never used Twitter before as I really had no use for social media in the past. Opened up my Twitter account and reconnected with so many of my friends really made me happy. I didn’t realize how much I missed everyone. It’s been surreal at times.
Speaking of OnlyFans, what kind of content are you shooting for the platform?
I do B/G, Anal, Toys, Roleplay, Foot Fetish etc… I do a lot of custom content and cock ratings. It’s fun getting back in the saddle again.
Now to go back a ways and talk about your time with Digital Sin and the movie Dark Angels, It was a huge hit and ended up winning a lot of awards as well as helping you win AVN Performer of the Year. I am just curious about what it was like filming this movie in particular and the alleged friction with director Nic Andrews who said some unflattering things about you after the fact.
Andrews hated that I was the star not him. He was truly awful to me and hateful. He and I did not see eye to eye. He wanted to use girls that worshiped him and kissed his fat ass with false promises of making them stars. He was a casting couch director and I couldn’t stand that crap because I didn’t kiss up to him and I was New Sensations contract star he was forced to use me made him super resentful. He did everything he could to sabotage my career. He finally got his wish as I left the company and ventured out on my own and paved my own way. He could keep his over budget ego inflated movies I wanted to make real porn, so I did.
Assuming that you have been keeping up about the state of the industry over the years, what would you say is the biggest difference between now and when you performed before retirement?
I saw the industry hitting an all time low in 07 I knew I was done, everyone with a camera was shooting and the quality of girls and content went to hell for many years. The internet took over and there was so much being pirated I was having my own part of my company stolen from under me I’d had enough fighting the system and gangsters. Now I feel it’s revived itself with talent being able to do their own thing and not just rely on porn studios. But I will say most girls bore the fuck outta me, there’s very little passion or performance these days Mostly everyone going through the motions. I feel I am blessed to be apart of the golden era, as it can and never will be, duplicated.
Are you planning on jumping back into the world of mainstream porn or are you going to stick with shooting your own content?
I’ve no desire to work for porn studios I’m happy performing on my terms and not making everyone else rich again. A porn studio would have to do something outta this world and pay me something unrealistic to make me even consider it. I’m completely content doing OnlyFans and keeping my fans happy because at the end of the day they’re what really matters.
What would you say is your favorite scene you have shot?
Everything on my OnlyFans as it’s exactly what I want to do in my career. I loved everything I did but my standout performance was with Rocco, Lexington Steele, Steve Holmes and Manual Ferrera.
If money wasn’t an issue, what would be your dream scene or movie to make?
I’d love to shoot all over Europe in extremely beautiful locations with Europe’s best talent. The only porn studio I really am interested in is Private. They’re the best and always have been. It’s my go to when I watch porn.
Who are some of the people you would like to work with, but you haven’t had the chance to yet?
Joanna Angel, Asia Carrera, Chloe, Amber Lynn and Sara Jay. all amazing performers but never got to do a lot of g/g stuff. I would of liked to of done more.
Who would you say are your idols or personal heroes, either within the industry or not?
Tera Patrick she is a goddess and has held her own for years and is still going strong. I find that quality in her fascinating. Amber Lynn has reinvented herself and is hotter now then she’s ever been. Also Nina Hartley. she is a legend who’s withstood the test of time. I think she’s such a super star the industry should have a bronze statue of her somewhere, she’s also one of the most genuine women I ever had the pleasure of working with.
If you could have a conversation with anyone, dead or alive, who would that be and why?
Well I miss Anna Malle, her and I had many private conversations that I’ll cherish forever. To be able to sit with her and reminisce about the good ole days would be nothing short of magic.
What sort of things do you like to do when you aren’t working? Any hobbies?
Well I’m a commercial beekeeper so that keeps me busy and OnlyFans is my new hobby, so it’s been fun gathering up and collecting toys again So many new fun horny things on the market these days.
Are there any projects or special events coming up that you would like to promote, if so please do so?
Not as of yet but I hope in the future I’ll be able to do some G/G content trades for my OnlyFans with some of my old friends. I’d love to shoot with Jessica Darling again or Inari Vachs.
