Are you a fan of adult entertainment? Then, you've got to listen to one of our favorite podcasts: Holly Randall Unfiltered. In this episode from Holly's show, Holly interviews Christy Mack. Christy Mack made international headlines in 2014 when she suffered a life-threatening beating at the hands of her MMA fighter ex-boyfriend, War Machine. But that is not where her story started — or where it ends. In this episode, Christy shares the surprising person who told her to get into porn, how an early manager tried to change her look, how her relationship with War Machine escalated to the night of the attack, and why she never had any interest in staying silent about her abuse.
