Yeah, you’re right, levotb. Much better if this young woman had remained in a lifestyle that exploits men’s lust to satisfy their greed. Win-win all around, and definitely superior to the new life she has chosen for herself.

You are so smart.

She was one of the first mainstream internet chicks.
Was big during the beginnings of AOL.
I hope she sticks with her new life.

I’m wondering about the truth behind this, I tried emailing the aol account given both with one l and two and bothwere returned to me, the clubericacampbell.com website is also not working as well as the ericacampbell.com website still being quite...graphic. I haven’t tried the gmail account

I don’t know WHY someone would do this, unless it was an attempt to get their account information (i.e. access to her webstie, credit cards, etc) if that’s the case then it’s pretty rotten. I HOPE I’m wrong but it appears from my investigation that this hasn’t been the case. That coupled with the lack of “mainstream Christian” reporting on this. When Head, and Stephen Baldwin, Shawn Micheals had their conversions it was widely reported with interviews, etc on the likes of The 700 Club, TBN, etc, you can find these online if you look, everything on this has been on blogging websites (both Christian and non Christian) and doesn’t add anything only the letter that was published here

I suppose you could be correct — it could be a hoax.

But, I don’t see any upside for her in falsely claiming a conversion. She’s not likely to draw more pornography consumers by claiming a Christian conversion ... in fact, she might be more likely to drive some off. She’d expose herself as a fraud if she sat for anymore explicit photo shoots — so she’s wouldn’t be able to continue her trade. She got little to no publicity for her conversion, so if it was a media stunt, it was entirely incompetent.

The fact that little mainstream Christian coverage has been seen may be due to her lack of fame (she’s no Shawn Michaels or Steven Baldwin), or the fact that her announcement was confined to her formerly pornographic website and a few blogs. Its possible that mainstream Christian media doesn’t know. It is further possible that she’s withdrawn from public coverage, and simply moved on with her life in private. If her “letter” was truly her last foray into public life, then it would make sense that no further information has appeared.

As for the remaining website — she may not actually own it. If she contracted for her “services”, it is entirely possible that she hasn’t the authority to take the site down. I am unaware of any new photos appearing on the site since her “conversion”.

I admit that its possible that its a hoax — but I just don’t see any logical reason why she would perpetrate such a hoax. Until proven otherwise (by new pictures, for instance), I prefer to have faith that her account of her conversion was true.

Porn stars rarely own the rights to their own names and images. “Erica Campbell” could very well continue to be an Internet porn star for many years to come, long after the actual woman has left the lifestyle behind.

Personally, I think she owes her fans a huge apology.
She had the nerve to ask her fans for money for her birthday several years ago so she could enter her horse in a competition, and that was just wrong. She should never ask her fans for money. NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! In my opinion, it was one of the most immoral things she has ever done.
I doubt she will ever apologize for something like that. But it sure would be nice.

I tried the aol address but I got an automatic response saying she is unavailable to read me message at this time. Is there any other email address I can use to contact her by any chance?

Try this e-mail address clubericacampbell@gmail.com.
I doubt she check this e-mail address anymore, but it’s worth a shot.

I’m not sure how this works, but it’s worth a shot I guess. I have tried to send her an e mail thanking her for kinds words she once expressed to me in a very bad time I was enduring. She was compassionate and very kind. People have faults, she has hers, I have mine, so what. You don’t make alot of friends going to christianity, because it is the ultimate form of rebellion against society, and it takes balls of steel to do something like that publicly.

People love porn, they love adult material, they love nudity, and for heaven’s sake they LOVE sexual imorality which is the cause of so many problems today (much welfare, child support, disease, broken homes, etc) and to turn from it does not make you popular. Erica would not get tons of people going Yippee over conversion.

I am a goth person, I know what fake people are, and I hate pretense and lies, I also know what being unpopular is. I am also Christian (HUH?) and christianity is rebellion at it’s best because it goes in the face of everything society stands for in a humanits, athiestic world that hates authority and rules. It takes the ultimate courage to be different and make no secret of it.

I hope she finds her answers, to me she will always have respect and a special place.
