The idea that a woman would be the one to manipulate and put another woman in the situation…was kind of uncharted territory for me…. It wasn’t until, you know, everything was finally said and done that I could finally analyze the situation. And I was like, ‘Yeah, we were never friends. I was like a target day one.
Zola adds, “I hope people understand that sex work is not black and white…[sex trafficking is] not ‘a white male pulls up, throws you in the trunk, and nobody ever sees you again.’…it could happen to anyone.”Given how many times Zola has told this story in the last six years, she did not expect to be emotionally affected by the film adaptation.

Zola said it took her about three or four screenings before she could enjoy the film without feeling any emotional baggage.Another detail Zola left out of her Twitter story: She claims that Jessica cleaned up after each client by douching herself. “She had a huge pack of them, and every time a client would leave, she would go in the bathroom and instead of getting in the shower or washing up, she would just douche.
