Cherie said she knew what kind of reception the film would get, but felt she had to do it. She told us: "I did it anyway because so many of my peers, they don't have the financial privilege that I do and they don't have the career privilege that I have to sort of withstand that.

She received some cruel comments from trolls (Getty Images)"I have a strong family support system, a strong friend support system. I'm financially sound. So if I lost work and my family got harassed and all these other things, I would survive it."
The 45-year-old said she felt as though it was her "duty" to appear in the documentary so she could be "an intelligent voice for the industry to help humanise us." She added: "I just wanted to bring an ounce more humanity to people that do the job that I do.
"Even if I opened a few people's eyes to be like, oh, these aren't all drug addled people who were snatched from their family underage and all these stereotypes. If I just could help open the doors for other sex workers or help open the eyes of people who are often so violent and cruel to us, it's a win."
