Former porn film performer Sasha Grey has claimed that she is not going withdraw from an elementary school reading programme despite an outcry from angry parents, a new report revealed.
According to TMZ.com, news broke on Friday that a Los Angeles area elementary school was facing major criticism from parents after the district invited Grey to read to a group of first graders as part of the Read Across America programme.
“I committed to this programme with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am and what I represent,” Fox News quoted Grey as saying.
“I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner.
“I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am.
“I believe in the future of our children, and I will remain an active supporter and participant in education-focused initiatives,” she added.
