Steven Spielberg’s daughter Mikaela defends porn career as ‘life-affirming’ and ‘healing’
Mikaela Spielberg, the adopted daughter of Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, has admitted sex work has helped her get her life back on track after years of mental health issues and substance abuse
Steven Spielberg’s daughter Mikaela has defended her porn career as “life-affirming” and “healing”.
Mikaela Spielberg, who was adopted by the director and his actress wife Kate Capshaw as a baby, went public with her new career as a porn star in February.
She has now opened up about her work, admitting it’s helped her put her troubled past behind her.
The 24 year old confessed she’d suffered from years of mental health problems and substance abuse issues but is now doing well.
In an interview with the Daily Beast, she explained: “I’m really enjoying work, and it’s giving me a whole new life-affirming way to be.”
She added that doing porn is part of a “healing journey” after years of struggling with her demons.
In the interview she added that she previously turned to substance abuse to help her cope with issues including anorexia and borderline personality disorde.
She said: “I felt like had I not done the work I needed to do on myself, and on my relationships, I would have been dead within the year.
“I was heartbroken, vulnerable, and felt like my soul had kind of been split in two. And I was covering that up with drinking… I am no longer like that.”
Mikaela began her work in porn making her own videos at home, and she now sells them on adult website ManyVids.
She insists she has no plans to move into “hardcore content”, insisting she prefers to create “soft” and “passion-oriented content”.
In a previous interview with The Sun earlier this year, Mikaela admitted doing porn has helped her love her body and allowed her to become financially independent.
She said: “I… got tired of working day to day in a way that wasn’t satisfying my soul.
“My main hope is just that I get somewhere lucrative enough to where I’m not tied down financially by things…
“I can’t stay dependent on my parents or even the state for that matter – not that there’s anything wrong with that – it just doesn’t feel comfortable for me.
