Porn performer Sasha Grey refuses to withdraw from kids' school reading programme

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.
