Gay-For-Pay Porn Star Turned Christian Pastor Rocco Reed Shares Porn Shame With MAGA Freak Candace Owens, Says Getting Fucked Up The Ass Was “So Harmful”
While stories like this about gay-for-payers are as predictable as they are hilarious, you have to respect his dedication to the grift: Retired porn star Rocco Reed went from one scam (being a gay-for-pay porn star) to another (being a pastor preaching about how bad porn is), but he’s still the exact same clown looking for as much attention as humanly possible. He sought it from people jerking off to him 10 years ago, and today, he’s looking for validation from right-wing Jesus freaks (who no doubt also jerk off to him behind closed doors).
Reed (a.k.a. Joshua Broome), whose last gay porn scene was released in 2014, is currently on a nationwide right-wing media tour to generate publicity for his anti-porn brand and his Iowa church (and to no doubt rake in “donation$”), visiting brain dead MAGAs like Candace Owens to talk about how awful porn is, the shame it caused him, and how it’s possible to turn your life around. Yes, going from porn to being interviewed by this bimbo is considered “turning your life around”:
On last week’s episode of #CandaceShow, @iamJoshuaBroome shared what it was really like working in the adult entertainment industry: “It doesn’t matter how much money you’re making or how much travel you’re doing, you feel terrible about yourself…” pic.twitter.com/yaTNwhPp6U

He also did an interview with the New York Post:
Joshua Broome, who filmed more than 1,000 raunchy movies under the pseudonym Rocco Reed, quit the straight and gay-for-pay porn industries back in 2012, claiming they caused him a “tremendous amount of emotional trauma.”
“I literally lost track of who I was,” Broome told The Post on Tuesday. “Everything was lies and fiction … I wanted to take my own life and didn’t have the guts to do so.”
“I believed the lie that if I made money I would be happy,” Broome told The Post. “I made well over a million dollars. I travelled everywhere I wanted to go. I had all the sex I could have ever imagined. But once I had it all, my life fell apart, because it amplified the sorrow and emptiness I always felt inside.”
In a statement released at the time, Broome declared: “I would like to state that my time in the adult industry in every aspect has now come to an end … I would also like to state that I am not or never have been gay, just an adult performer. I am retiring not because of any other reason than its time to move on.”
Broome left Los Angeles and moved home to North Carolina. He says he struggled with depression and was “riddled with shame,” trying to conceal his former career while working at a gym.
Then, in 2014, he met a woman named Hope at the fitness facility, and the pair decided to go on a run together.
“Through her kindness and not rejecting me, she cultivated a curiosity in me,” Broome said. “The next weekend we went to church together.”
“I surrendered a lifetime of shame. I lived with an ‘I’m not good enough’ mindset my entire life, and I was able to let that go,” he explained of his newfound Christian faith.
Broome is currently a pastor at the Good News Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and also teaches and preaches around the country. The former adult entertainer additionally speaks out about the perils of porn.
“It’s so harmful,” he told The Post. “You are saying its okay to consume a person like a product, and if you treat people like products every aspect of your life is going to be detrimental.”
Rocco Reed was objectively one of the worst gay-for-pay performers in the history of porn, and the day he retired was one of the industry’s best days ever. His inability to perform should’ve been enough to make studios steer clear of him, but of course they didn’t. And now that the lifelong scammer is using right-wing media to attack the porn industry, this should hopefully make studios more cautious about hiring these worthless, mentally disturbed gay-for-pay bigots in the future (although, I’m not holding my breath on that one).
The best part about Reed’s devotion to Jesus Christ and the shaming of his gay porn past is that, thankfully, you can still watch all of his gay porn videos. To be sure, they are horrific and never worth watching in full, but they’re at least fun to watch for a few seconds, serving as a sort of palate cleanser after reading his anti-gay/anti-porn hate speech. May this desperate fame whore be as miserable today and for the rest of his life as he appeared to be in all his scenes.
