Kendra Jade Rossi Seeks Dr. Drew’s Help for Sex Addiction
Posted under Sex Addiction in the News on Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Kendra Jade Rossi, former porn star and wife of Rockstar Supernova front man Lucas Rossi, is one of the eight celebrities getting help for their sex addiction on Dr. Drew’s new reality show on VH1.
On “Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew,” Kendra admits that she was molested from the age of 2 until she was finally emancipated at the age of 14, and that she was raped in her teens.
Dr. Drew says that most children who are sexually abused grow up to believe that their only worth is for sex and points to Kendra’s story as a prime example.
On the website she shares with her husband, www.meettherossis.com, Kendra tells of her struggle to climb up from a troubled childhood to the glamorous life of a Hollywood celebrity.
The oldest of five children, Kendra was born in East Hampton, Massachusetts and spent several years bouncing between her own less-than-ideal home and foster homes until she finally gained her emancipation at age 14. After that she took on the responsibility of raising her two much younger sisters. She entered the adult film industry in 1998 and quickly became a star and favorite of the Howard Stern Show.
During her intake interview, Kendra tells Dr. Drew that as a result of being molested and rape at such an early age she quickly came to believe that "sex equaled love." She confesses that she has cheated on everyone she has ever been in a relationship with and is now trying to get help for her addiction because she does not want to cheat on her husband.
