(CNN)Chloe Cherry was a breakout star as Faye on Euphoria, but her previous career was as an adult film actress.
She recently spoke about her experiences as a porn star on the podcast Call Her Daddy. Cherry said she’s worked really hard in the industry, where she’s starred in more than 200 films and has more than 125 million views on PornHub.
But their success had a downside.
Cherry said “the only thing that sucks about working in porn is the way people treat you outside of the industry,” including her high school friends, who she said avoided her.
“I’ve lost a lot of girlfriends because they didn’t think I could be around them,” she said. “Or her boyfriend would say, ‘No, you can’t hang out with her,’ and they’d actually listen to them, which I thought was the craziest thing.”
Cherry also said she suffered from an eating disorder during the performance.
She said she’s gone vegan and would limit herself to 200 calories a day, which makes her feel “miserable.”
The actress said she no longer diets at all and encouraged seeking mental health support.
“I don’t restrict my diet at all,” she said. “And that’s why I think a lot of people don’t believe that I went through an eating disorder because I’m thinner now than I used to be, even though I was starving myself at the time.”
Cherry also said she was “done” with the porn industry.
