Titans' porn star drama takes new twist

Yahoo!7 December 2, 2012, 1:30 pm

A former porn star has defended her position to work as a volunteer for NRL club Gold Coast Titans, despite calls for her and her Titans CEO husband to be sacked.

Kortney Olson is currently working with the Gold Coast in a strength and conditioning volunteer's role, but has come under fire over her past.

The wife of current Titans CEO David May joined the club two weeks ago, but came under fire when the mother of a Gold Coast junior complained to ARL Commission chairman John Grant.

She made the complaint because Olsen was involved with Titans under 20s players.

According to News Limited, the former fetish porn star opened up on how she was raped at 17 and detailed her struggles with alcohol and drugs.

"I've had time to process my past, and realise that I'm a human being born to make mistakes," Olson told The Daily Telegraph.

"It's a constant reminder that I don't ever want to find myself under the influence of narcotics or booze because, clearly, I don't make the best choices."

Olson said she became an alcoholic at 17 after an assault by her boxing coach, then when she turned 23 began taking drugs including crystal methamphetamine.

She had cleaned up her life though, and said she had been clean for the past two years. She wanted to use the role to help rebuild her life.

She also said she wasn't ashamed of her porn past, but said that part of her life was history now.

"It's been several years since I've gone down that path," she said.

"I'm not ashamed and embarrassed by what I've done.

"It's a part of my learning experience and has made me who I am today.

"All I can do, and have a desire to do, is help mentor others who find themselves in the same struggles.

"Unless I'm asked to leave the Titans, I wouldn't walk away from an amazing opportunity such as this."

It is believed two members of the Titans staff are outraged at Olson's involvement with under 20s players.

The NRL said though that they would not intervene with the appointment.

"Our understanding is that she is not an employee of the club and has no official capacity beyond volunteering in an area where she has some expertise," an NRL spokesman said.

"There are a number of personal issues involved in this and we do not see this as a matter in which the NRL should intervene."

    I'm getting this picture of Greg sitting in a corner with his hand on his pecker reading Mein Kampf and Maoist/ Marxist psycho babble and Kathy screaming and singing the Yvonne Fair song "It Should Have Been Me" outside the gym where Kortney is working!

    Does anyone really understand the drivel that Greg is posting here.To me, he seems as if he's been in a gay relationship that's gone sour and Kathy's comments are now seeming more like she's anti female. Lee, I agree with what you say but do make a point of referring those comments to Kortney Olsen's detractors because there are a number of us here that are supporting her.Roger, you go for it mate because you are right on the money.Greg still hasn't backed up his website claim about Kortney and pasted it and he's obviously full of #$%$How can anyone deny another person from bettering their life.So what if she's had a life that may seem unfavourable to some, she's now turned it around and making a go of it and the drivel that has come out of both Kathy and Greg because of this makes you think that these pair are unbalanced.Certainly with the #$%$ that Greg is posting, he's definitely certifiable.You have a lady with a past, who has left it behind and bettering herself and where you two have taken this and what you have put forth here, I think you both should consider seeking professional help, I really do.

    While I do agree with most of what you say Greg I think you are going to far and may risk offending people . I hear what you are saying and I have many friends both male and female who also express frustration at the Medias portrayal of females as always the victim . I feel such things as the false sexual harassment claims you mention are really bad and do so much damage to the real victims of such behavior. I know Feminists who worked so hard for a fair go who are of course, quite old now and they often comment on younger womens demands being so ridiculous ( especially as they have never experienced sexism) given just how far the pendulum has swung in their favor .

    Greg, the more I read of your drivel the more you remind me of a sniveling weasel. Had a bad break up did we?
