00;00;00;00 - 00;00;10;11 Unknown So I got started about ten years ago when I was 19. I answered an ad on Craigslist. Okay. And I actually flew here to Miami from Pennsylvania.
00;00;10;12 - 00;00;14;04 Unknown I had no idea what I was doing. I was very broke. I was in a bad relationship,
00;00;14;05 - 00;00;16;24 Unknown I said, let me take a chance. And I got into
00;00;16;27 - 00;00;18;17 Unknown and it was awful. It was really bad.
00;00;18;17 - 00;00;21;20 Unknown so Drake May, he's the quarterback for the Patriots.
00;00;21;20 - 00;00;24;02 Unknown He's about to be in the Super Bowl. And,
00;00;24;02 - 00;00;26;17 Unknown I decided to DM him on Instagram
00;00;26;17 - 00;00;40;27 Unknown we all saw him after the AFC Championship with his wife and they looked like very awkward, like they weren't into each other at all. And I was like, this guy needs to be having more. Like, he's like 23. Is he okay?
00;00;40;28 - 00;00;41;12 Unknown And
00;00;41;14 - 00;00;42;17 Unknown I got a lot of hate
00;00;42;17 - 00;00;43;27 Unknown the internet because it's like,
00;00;43;27 - 00;00;48;10 Unknown leave this guy alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, I was just having fun. Yeah. And

00;01;01;17 - 00;01;09;13 Unknown Oh!
00;01;09;16 - 00;01;12;28 Unknown This show is presented by King Rella.
00;01;13;01 - 00;01;26;21 Unknown Welcome back to the Lexus SA show guys. We are here at the circle having a blast meeting some awesome girls and having great conversations with them. I am sitting with a very pretty lady. I'm going to let her introduce herself.
00;01;26;22 - 00;01;28;09 Unknown Hi I'm Forrest Smith.
00;01;28;09 - 00;01;30;24 Unknown How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm so good.
00;01;30;26 - 00;01;39;08 Unknown Thank you for being on the podcast. Thanks for having me. I time, so you've been in the industry for quite some time. Tell us how you got started.
00;01;39;13 - 00;01;49;24 Unknown So I got started about ten years ago when I was 19. I answered an ad on Craigslist. Okay. And I actually flew here to Miami from Pennsylvania.
00;01;49;25 - 00;01;59;20 Unknown Okay. And I had no idea what I was doing. I was very broke. I was in a bad relationship, and I just, like I said, let me take a chance. And I got into
00;01;59;23 - 00;02;08;29 Unknown and it was awful. It was really bad. So then I found camming. Okay. Webcam, you know, tiger bait. And that was okay. I made a lot of money doing that.
00;02;09;02 - 00;02;12;07 Unknown And I've actually switched my name three times. Okay.
00;02;12;11 - 00;02;14;26 Unknown So how come? Well, I don't know. I
00;02;14;28 - 00;02;21;24 Unknown think I felt like I needed a new start and each time I like, went into a different like niche. And it worked out well for me.
00;02;21;25 - 00;02;25;06 Unknown it didn't hurt you when you change the name because I've changed my name once.
00;02;25;07 - 00;02;28;06 Unknown Really. Okay. Did it hurt you? It kind of did it. It,
00;02;28;08 - 00;02;44;09 Unknown it hurt us a little bit. It was, it was Miss Lexi's okay. And then we switched it to Lexi's star. Okay. So, you know, it wasn't that totally different. Not completely different. But like, when people are used to, like, searching a specific name. Yeah. And then you're like, wait a second, where are my views going down.
00;02;44;09 - 00;02;48;29 Unknown And then you got to make like this whole announcement. So you don't mind me asking what were your names?
00;02;49;00 - 00;02;58;17 Unknown First name was Bailey Bay. Okay. And that's catchy. Second name was just a figure. It was like a name of a Greek goddess. And that was my tag on Chatter bait. Okay. Yeah.
00;02;58;19 - 00;02;59;24 Unknown I was going to say that sounds Greek.
00;02;59;24 - 00;03;02;05 Unknown I'm Greek so. But I've never, I don't know which
00;03;02;06 - 00;03;06;02 Unknown goddess that is. Yeah I don't either. Okay. You don't remember
00;03;06;04 - 00;03;16;22 Unknown a thing. Yeah I do I would have to do a little Google search. Would I get it? Yeah. For sure. So how has, the. I'm going to seed corn just so that. Yeah, we don't be about too many times.
00;03;16;24 - 00;03;20;05 Unknown How has it changed, since you started? Until to now?
00;03;20;08 - 00;03;21;21 Unknown I feel like with
00;03;21;24 - 00;03;31;00 Unknown fans, the industry is become a lot less saturated for mainstream corn because, I think girls want to have that autonomy over their work for
00;03;31;07 - 00;03;34;06 Unknown OnlyFans. And that's something that I really love about
00;03;34;13 - 00;03;42;24 Unknown OnlyFans now, is like, I don't feel like I need to pander to certain audiences or do things I'm not comfortable with.
00;03;42;24 - 00;03;44;21 Unknown Yeah, and you also make way more money.
00;03;44;21 - 00;03;48;25 Unknown You do. Did you? Where did you shoot for some big companies?
00;03;48;26 - 00;04;01;19 Unknown Yeah, I did some with like. Well, I mean, like bang, but like, I was really young. I didn't know what I was doing, and I had an agent, okay, taking a huge shot with God. And I got on the cover of hustler when
00;04;01;20 - 00;04;02;22 Unknown I was 18.
00;04;02;24 - 00;04;09;16 Unknown I hope you still have a copy of that. I sure do. Okay, good. I would like framed that. Yeah, I'm just. And how old were you when you got that?
00;04;09;17 - 00;04;15;03 Unknown I was 19. Oh, wow. Okay. So right when you started. Yeah, I was only in the industry for, like, six months.
00;04;15;03 - 00;04;16;27 Unknown how did you do when you got into the industry?
00;04;17;01 - 00;04;20;10 Unknown Did it like, did it take some time? Because with
00;04;20;18 - 00;04;34;06 Unknown OnlyFans now so saturated, so many people are on it. You really got to give it your all right and it's not easy. You got to build your socials and whatnot. So how was it when you did your first scene? Did that like kind of blow up or did you have to go gradually?
00;04;34;10 - 00;04;50;20 Unknown So I had a really unique look. I had super short hair, like a pixie cut really. And I was young and I think they just kind of like threw me into, like, things that I was like, yeah, sure, I'll do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I mean, getting on the cover of hustler, kind of like I was like, okay, I'm done because I felt like I had
00;04;50;22 - 00;04;53;06 Unknown done it all at 19.
00;04;53;07 - 00;04;53;29 Unknown Yeah.
00;04;54;02 - 00;04;56;12 Unknown So yeah. And then I was done and then I found camming
00;04;56;14 - 00;05;08;23 Unknown okay. And house camming because I never really got into that. Yeah, but I know a lot of girls have done it and I always get like a mixed response. It's either like, oh no, it's great, I make so much money or it's like, that's kind of a waste of a kind of waste of time.
00;05;08;28 - 00;05;19;02 Unknown Yeah. You have to have the personality for it. Right? Like it's a lot of it's very draining, like being on screen, being on the whole time. Some girls do like six hour streams.
00;05;19;08 - 00;05;22;01 Unknown While I don't know how they do. Wild. Yeah. Yeah,
00;05;22;03 - 00;05;30;23 Unknown it's so crazy. But it's, lucrative because you build, like, long term fans. Okay, I have fans from when I cam seven years ago.
00;05;30;23 - 00;05;34;27 Unknown Wow. Still follow me today and spend money on my only fans
00;05;34;27 - 00;05;46;21 Unknown I love. I love the real OGs. Yeah, I have been there from the get go. You know what they like. You're like the best. I need a few hundred bucks. Let me just. Here's this. You know I love you like that. Right? And then with with companies.
00;05;46;21 - 00;05;50;12 Unknown I mean, you can't really do that, right? So that's what's fun about
00;05;50;14 - 00;05;58;10 Unknown is that we have so much freedom to do whatever we like. Speaking of freedom, are there any boundaries that you have that you would not cross?
00;05;58;15 - 00;06;09;10 Unknown I mean, I don't film too much girl girl content because I'm not, like, super comfortable. I like to be really, like, real when I'm so like, I want to be, like, worked up
00;06;09;11 - 00;06;09;20 Unknown horny.
00;06;09;20 - 00;06;12;18 Unknown I don't know if that's it. Yeah. And yeah,
00;06;12;23 - 00;06;18;25 Unknown if I'm not, then I don't feel like it's something that people want to watch and I just don't want to do anything I'm not comfortable with. Yeah,
00;06;18;27 - 00;06;29;20 Unknown I feel like guys who like a girl. Right? They always want to see the girl. Girl like fantasy. Yeah. And I've been asked that a lot as well, and I think I did.
00;06;29;20 - 00;06;42;02 Unknown I did one handed two, I did one with my best friend, but it wasn't even really anything. It was just like oiling each other up or whatever, you know, like that's what everybody does each other. I have shake your
00;06;42;04 - 00;06;43;06 Unknown like,
00;06;43;08 - 00;06;45;05 Unknown oh, you're going to have to be a lot.
00;06;45;08 - 00;07;06;10 Unknown If you're watching this right now, I bet you care about how you look, feel, and smell. Especially smell. And that's why I'm here to talk to you about King Rilla. They make all natural soaps, shampoos, lip balms and deodorants for men. But I'm not gonna lie. I use them as well. They use organic ingredients that keep you feeling fresh all day long.

00;07;21;09 - 00;07;27;03 Unknown And then I did another one. But then again, like, I build my image as being an amateur couple, okay.
00;07;27;03 - 00;07;41;04 Unknown That I feel, you know, it eventually faded out like the whole, you know, craze of of doing that. What does it day, what does a week look like for you when it comes to content and, you know, preparing yourself.
00;07;41;04 - 00;07;48;09 Unknown in a week. It depends. If it's a week, I'm shooting. Like I have the luxury of being able to bulk bulk, make my content.
00;07;48;11 - 00;07;55;18 Unknown So I'll do, like three days where I'll go really hard, and then the rest of the week, I won't work. Yeah. It's to us.
00;07;55;19 - 00;07;57;23 Unknown Yeah. Isn't it awesome? Yeah, yeah. So good.
00;07;57;25 - 00;08;07;01 Unknown But I wasn't always like that. Like I used to have to, you know, I didn't have my strategy with content creation down, so. Yeah. Now I feel really comfortable with it.
00;08;07;04 - 00;08;26;10 Unknown You have to have a, like a structure. Yeah. Right. Because there's days where, I mean, we all have things going on, but, you know, it's a laugh and this and that. I'm on very different platforms. So it's like, where do I, you know, I work for myself, but like, I still have to provide the content for all these things.
00;08;26;10 - 00;08;33;02 Unknown So sometimes it does become a little draining. Yeah. Do you ever have days where you're just like, screw this, I can't do this anymore?
00;08;33;03 - 00;08;44;15 Unknown Yeah, absolutely. And that's so hard. Especially when you feel motivated one day that your ideas ready, and then you wake up and you're like, I literally can't do this, right? Yeah, I'd rather like, do
00;08;44;16 - 00;08;46;16 Unknown anything, but
00;08;46;18 - 00;08;49;08 Unknown did you have, what was your job prior to this?
00;08;49;08 - 00;08;51;08 Unknown Did you have or were you like, you started off?
00;08;51;09 - 00;08;59;14 Unknown I mean, I was a barista. Was there, like, just, like, little jobs here and there. But I really have been doing this for such a long time.
00;08;59;16 - 00;09;04;22 Unknown If, let's say, you know, this whole world disappears tomorrow, what would you do?
00;09;04;25 - 00;09;09;17 Unknown I would, I would marry rich.
00;09;09;20 - 00;09;13;07 Unknown I bet you're going to tell me something, but, like, I would do this.
00;09;13;07 - 00;09;17;00 Unknown I've always wanted I would marry rich straight. I'm just very rich. Yeah.
00;09;17;02 - 00;09;31;00 Unknown I literally do nothing and just be. Just be a little wife. You know? I love it. Let's get into something a little spicier. You were in, an article on TMZ. Tell us a little bit, about what happened there.
00;09;31;00 - 00;09;34;15 Unknown Okay, so Drake May, he's the quarterback for the Patriots.
00;09;34;15 - 00;09;55;21 Unknown He's about to be in the Super Bowl. And, I decided to DM him on Instagram and after we all saw him after the AFC Championship with his wife and they looked like very awkward, like they weren't into each other at all. And I was like, this guy needs to be having more. Like, he's like 23. Is he okay?
00;09;55;22 - 00;10;04;24 Unknown And I got a lot of hate on it for, the internet because it's like, you know, leave this guy alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, I was just having fun. Yeah. And
00;10;05;01 - 00;10;06;04 Unknown and did. He was fine.
00;10;06;06 - 00;10;08;14 Unknown No. Okay. I wish he was.
00;10;08;14 - 00;10;10;28 Unknown That would have been that. Would it be so funny? I'm sure his wife was, like,
00;10;11;02 - 00;10;11;20 Unknown pissed off.
00;10;11;26 - 00;10;24;17 Unknown Like, probably stalking your account. Like, who is this girl? Yeah, she doesn't know anything, but I'm sure I mean, that got a lot of attention, so. Yeah. Definitely helps, right? It helps. It does it bring you in new fans and,
00;10;24;18 - 00;10;27;23 Unknown yeah, I'm getting death threats from Patriots fans. What? Yeah.
00;10;27;27 - 00;10;30;27 Unknown Okay, so that is something I made a TikTok about.
00;10;30;27 - 00;10;49;08 Unknown Okay. When it comes to people in sports, they are sold. No, but I was at the gym, okay? I was at the gym. And you know how they have all the TVs, and then there's all these different shows that are playing. And then there was, something about sport. I know zero about cigarets. Okay? I don't know who's playing.
00;10;49;08 - 00;11;08;09 Unknown And like, you tell me the name of this guy. No idea who he is, but I know nothing about sports. And then I just see on the TV that there was, like, I don't know, some finale of a sport. And then the two opposing teams were, like, rioting outside. I think it was Boston with like a Canadian team or something like that.
00;11;08;14 - 00;11;31;11 Unknown Maybe it was hockey. Hockey. So yeah. Right. And they're outside and they just see somebody with the other jersey screw you man. And and it's like, you don't know this per se. Yeah. Why are you cussing them out so crazy? I find it so crazy how they have this like whole like personality. Yeah. Just by sports.
00;11;31;12 - 00;11;32;05 Unknown Yeah. It's crazy.
00;11;32;05 - 00;11;35;17 Unknown It really brings people together and sometimes not in the best way.
00;11;35;19 - 00;11;46;22 Unknown And they're in the streets like flipping cars and everything. Yeah. And I'm just like, what the hell is going on here? Like, you know, I don't even comment on, like a video, like a real that I see that I disagree with
00;11;46;23 - 00;11;47;28 Unknown you. I no, I don't either.
00;11;47;29 - 00;11;50;17 Unknown I just like swipe and I move on with my life. But I
00;11;50;20 - 00;11;55;13 Unknown feel like people are so fixated with like, yeah, sports. It's like it becomes their whole personality.
00;11;55;14 - 00;11;58;22 Unknown And I know, I don't know what it is about that. I believe it's crazy.
00;11;58;27 - 00;12;00;22 Unknown Do you have a guilty pleasure?
00;12;00;25 - 00;12;04;05 Unknown Guilty pleasure. I love to eat. I really love,

00;12;48;13 - 00;12;52;07 Unknown Okay. Yeah. Having a drink I like, really think about the meal I'm going to have.
00;12;52;10 - 00;12;54;24 Unknown That's amazing. And how long have you been sober for it.
00;12;54;24 - 00;12;56;14 Unknown Five years. Wow.
00;12;56;15 - 00;13;00;13 Unknown And do you mind if I ask you what, motivated that decision?
00;13;00;18 - 00;13;07;04 Unknown Yeah. I always tell people, like, they're like, why don't you drink? And if we're like, out, I'll be like, because I would ruin your night.
00;13;07;04 - 00;13;14;02 Unknown I was drinking, like, seriously? Yeah, that's what it was. It was just a little bit out of control, and I didn't feel good about myself.
00;13;14;04 - 00;13;24;13 Unknown you always feel like shit the next day. Yeah. And, I'm sure when you tell people you don't drink the wine. Yeah, right. I know it's become such a thing when you tell people you don't drink anymore.
00;13;24;13 - 00;13;27;21 Unknown Yeah, right. It's like chill. I mean, I feel like,
00;13;27;22 - 00;13;36;12 Unknown It's nice where I live, though, because in Utah, there's a lot of Mormons, okay? And in their religion, they don't drink. So it people just don't ask questions.
00;13;36;16 - 00;13;41;29 Unknown Do you hang out with them? No, I don't think they would. Oh, yeah. Right. Live with me for some reason.
00;13;42;01 - 00;13;44;08 Unknown But do Mormons, like, are they allowed to watch TV?
00;13;44;13 - 00;13;54;08 Unknown Yeah, they can watch. Okay, but they don't drink coffee. Really? And they wear, like, special undergarments under their clothes. Oh, yeah. Okay. Like
00;13;54;11 - 00;14;01;28 Unknown you're going to be like, do you know what I do? Yeah. And, what is something that people usually misunderstand about you?
00;14;02;01 - 00;14;06;16 Unknown I tend to be pretty, soft spoken and shy.
00;14;06;16 - 00;14;20;28 Unknown I don't do well in groups. Okay. So I think a lot of people think I'm either a bitch. No, no, not interesting. Or, you know, I just have, like, a really short, social battery. Okay. It's it runs out real quick. Okay. So, for example, at
00;14;21;00 - 00;14;24;03 Unknown the last day. Yeah,
00;14;24;06 - 00;14;25;11 Unknown I'm going to be shot.
