Timeline

Miriam Weeks, known by her stage name of Belle Knox, is an American former pornographic film actress.

She is known for performing in pornography while studying at Duke University.

2013

Knox started doing pornography in 2013 to help pay for her $60,000 per year tuition costs.

In late 2013, her career became publicly known on campus, and she faced extensive in-person and online harassment.

She began working in pornography in November 2013, flying out to Los Angeles while on school breaks to perform.

Knox chose the name "Belle", inspired by Belle from Beauty and the Beast and the character of Belle from Secret Diary of a Call Girl; the name "Knox" is after Amanda Knox, exonerated in the murder of Meredith Kercher.

2014

Knox took a college-sanctioned break from Duke University in early 2014 and later returned to continue her studies.

Knox has publicly defended her decision to do the work, as well as explained her views of feminism and rights for sex workers.

She believes her experiences are indicative of the rising costs of higher education in the United States.

Knox has won a 2014 Fanny Award and a 2015 XBIZ Award.

Knox decided to enter the pornography industry because she enjoyed sex and pornography, and the job offered much better compensation and working hours.

In previous work as a waitress, Knox had a boss who treated her poorly and a schedule that interfered with her studies, for less than $400 a month (after taxes).

Pornography would allow her to control her schedule, and she could make about $1,300 per scene.

Knox had previously tried to apply for government loans, but was told that she was ineligible; and believed private student loans would "strap her family with debt".

On January 10, 2014, fellow Duke student Thomas Bagley revealed Knox's career to his fraternity brothers.

Accounts of how Bagley deduced Knox's identity vary: Bagley claims that Knox revealed her work to him as a secret, whereas Knox claims that Bagley recognized her from watching porn in which she starred.

The news quickly spread through the community.

After returning to campus from winter break, Knox discovered that her personal Facebook account had received more than 230 friend requests.

Fellow students started following her porn persona's Twitter account, at which point she realized that her porn career had been discovered.

Shortly thereafter posts began to emerge on the anonymous college discussion board CollegiateACB under the thread title "Freshman Pornstar".

Knox began to receive threats of violence and death in person and via social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

Some posters endorsed raping and beating her; others simply wanted Duke to expel Knox.

Knox believes that the public response exhibited a double standard sex workers face from those who seek their services.

In February 2014 Knox gave an interview to the campus newspaper, The Chronicle, in which she used the pseudonym "Lauren A.", and referred to her stage name as "Aurora" to avoid identifying herself.

She expressed frustration over her treatment stating, "I feel like girls at Duke have to hide their sexuality. We're caught in this virgin-whore dichotomy."

Knox published a similar defense on lifestyle website xoJane, but the storm of harassment continued.

Knox's identity, contact information, and location were posted, but when Knox contacted the police over the ongoing threats, the police failed to respect her concerns.

On March 4, 2014, Knox decided to embrace her new reality: she wrote a second post where she revealed her stage name, and reflected on her experiences.

She would later summarize her reasoning as: "I think the [sex-work] industry needs a feminist advocate as well."

Media outlets covering the story uniformly described the public response as slut-shaming.

The Poynter Institute's Kelly McBride commented on the reception for Knox's story, stating that it "[presented] a lesson in crowd behavior", noting that, "While her critics were loud and destructive, advocating that people call her dad to let him know his daughter is a porn star, no one suggested a phone campaign to inform the mother of the frat boy who outed her that her son is watching porn."

2015

In early 2015 Knox declined to comment on whether she was still filming adult movies.

Weeks was a College Republican and considers herself a sex-positive feminist and libertarian.

She identifies her "favorite figures in liberty" as Ayn Rand, economist Milton Friedman, and two other activists whose careers have included both sex and politics: porn actress Nina Hartley and former call girl Maggie McNeill.

She has also shown admiration for both former Representative Ron Paul and his son Senator Rand Paul.

She was involved in the organization Students for Liberty, an organization that bills itself as "the largest libertarian student organization in the world", and was the campus coordinator for Students for Liberty at Duke.

In addition to her work with Students for Liberty, Weeks said she was appointed to the national board of directors for the Sex Workers Outreach Project.

Knox had been asked to speak in Duke classes about being a sex worker, and has given speeches at other colleges besides her alma mater.

While her work in porn helped fuel her political beliefs, Weeks says she began developing her ideology earlier in life.

"I grew up Catholic, so I grew up in a very, very, conservative background and that, I think, really was kind of the impetus for why I wanted to become a libertarian. I was always being told to cover up my body and I was always being told to wait until marriage to have sex, that my body would go down if I didn't wait till marriage to have sex", Weeks explained, adding, "That really made me become a libertarian and become a feminist."
