When ABC Primetime broadcast a segment on Belladonna in January 2003, it was widely criticized as an example of the worst kind of biased mainstream coverage of the adult industry: says Bella, "I said a lot of things that I really wanted everyone to hear and they took everything bad and made the whole story look like I was a victim."

(We're not holding our breath.)
