She’d show up and shoot and they’d be like ‘Oh my god, she killed it. She had a great work ethic in the beginning. “The industry likes the of tiny girl/big penis. “ Smaller models end up doing well - the petite girls do well,” O’Byrne says. When she was 19, she launched her porn career in Florida after being recruited by her first agent, John O’Byrne of East Coast Talent. When she was in her early teens, she went to live with her father’s family in southern Ohio, which is where she met an older boyfriend who encouraged her to start camming when she was just 16, below the legal age of entry, according to Lecompte-Goble. “She had a very, very bad upbringing,” her husband, Zachary Lecompte-Goble, tells Rolling Stone.
