Kendra Sunderland gave her first interview since becoming one of the newest stars of amateur porn. She spoke to the New York Daily News about how her life has changed since that library video (and over a dozen more) hit the internet and turned her into a sensation and how she ended up doing porn:

“I didn’t want to work in an office all the time,” she said.

During her fall semester, she applied to about a dozen waitressing jobs around Corvallis and said she never got any calls back.

Around the same time, she was lured to MyFreeCams, a site where girls strip and chat with users who pay them in real time

She said she did her first show in October and made about $150 for an hour’s work.

“Working a minimum wage job, there’s people that are just mean to you when they’re having a crappy day,” she said. “On MyFreeCams, (users) had nothing but nice things to say. And I made way more than I would working any other job.”

She started regularly making MyFreeCams shows in her Corvallis home, when her roommates weren’t around, including one where she had sex with her boyfriend at the time. (She’s single now.)

Each video brought in big bucks. But one user suggested she’d get a lot more attention — and money — if she took her show to a public place.

One night in October, Sunderland shot the now-infamous library video, where she flashes her breasts and masturbates at a desk as oblivious classmates walk by in the background. Various versions of the video, ranging from five minutes to half an hour, are now circulating a plethora of porn sites, but Sunderland recalls the actual show lasting more than an hour.

And she says the user’s prediction about a public place was right: She earned about $700 that night.

“After that, I just thought about the consequences and what could've happened,” she said. “It definitely made me not want to go back.”

Sunderland is now banned from the campus, school spokesman Steve Clark said.

She’s also been banned from MyFreeCams as of Monday for violating the site’s guidelines with the library clip, according to the website’s attorney.

And she says a few friends have cut ties with her since the video went viral.

Meanwhile, Sunderland, who turns 20 in June, is more popular than ever now. She says she’s already fulfilled one request for a professional photo shoot, which is coming out soon, and many more offers are flooding in. She’s hoping to earn enough to “move somewhere sunny.”

Her parents aren’t so supportive anymore — she says they didn’t punish her, but after their initial relief, they cut off the funding they gave her as a student.

“They’re kind of upset now,” she said.

Well, would she be okay if she had a daughter one day who did webcam shows?

“If it makes her happy, sure,” Sunderland said. “I could probably give her some pointers.”
