Sasha Grey’s Controversies

Sasha Grey’s Controversies In November 2011, Grey participated in the Guest Reading Program at Emerson Elementary School in Compton, California. Reportedly her involvement in such activity was first denied by school officials. She had not appeared on the guest list under her stage name of 'Sasha Grey', but under her real name. Some parents were upset that a former pornographic actress would read to their children as part of an education program; Grey responded to the controversy: "I believe education is a universal right. I committed to this program with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am and what I represent.". Grey also appeared on the American talk show The View where she explained that she thought the parents ought to have been given prior notice of the identity of anyone who did guest reading, and that if parents had objected to her she would not have done it.
