The Free Speech Coalition, the adult industry’s trade association, has now sent Netflix and the series’ producers and directors a letter denouncing the documentary and calling for its distribution to be halted. In addition, the tube site xHamster is mailing the documentary’s team red umbrellas, which are a symbol of sex worker rights, and copies of the book, “Playing the Whore: The Work of Sex Work.”

xHamster is also calling on Jones to donate her profits from the film to the activist organization Sex Workers Outreach Project. “As producer of the series, it would appear Ms. Jones is the one actually profiting from exploitation,” said Hawkins. “If she really wants to help sex workers, she can help.”
