'My 600-lb Life' Shocker: Is Gina Krasley A Porn Star?
She allegedly had a series of fetish clips on adult video sites.
TLC The people who appear on My 600-lb Life are often so heavy that they are housebound, if not bedridden. As a result, most of them can't work at traditional jobs, since their mobility is so limited.
They depend on government assistance or family support to pay for their basic necessities. They agree to be filmed on TLC's reality show as they seek medical attention for their obesity in an attempt to reclaim their lives.
However, there are other ways to make money in the internet age and it seems like one of the recent patients on the show was doing so.
Gina Krasley, whose episode of the show about extreme obesity that aired last week, appears to have a history of making adult fetish videos. She had her own YouTube channels where she posted some content and she even showed up on a popular website for people looking for adult content.
28-year-old Krasley had a disappointing experience with her weight loss journey, and now new revelations about her online persona have fans wondering if she was ever really looking to lose weight — or if she was trying to get some notoriety for her adult video career.
Is Gina Krasley from My 600-lb Life a porn star? Read on for all the shocking details.
1. Who is Gina Krasley?
Krasley introduces herself to the audience of My 600-lb Life by sharing her story of a tumultuous childhood. Like many others who appeared on the show, she's a victim of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of a parent. In addition, her sister was diagnosed with mental health conditions at a young age and the care she needed led Krasley to feel neglected and seek comfort in food.
She was heavy her whole life and weighed around 500 pounds by the time she graduated from high school. However, that was also when she was able to break away from her father's home and start a new chapter of her life living with her mom and sister.
2. Her marriage is profoundly co-dependent.
On the show, Dr. Nowzradan always talks about who the enablers are in the lives of his patients, meaning the people who bring the food. In the case of Krasley, her wife Beth is the enabler.
The couple met and married during a period when Krasley was more active and confident, but by the time of their wedding, she was quickly losing mobility and Beth was already taking on a caretaker role. The couple still lives with Krasley's mother and sister, and Beth is the only person in the home with a job. Beth has also taken the responsibility for providing all the food, either picking up take-out or cooking for the family.
What's more, Krasley shared with the cameras that it's been three years since she and Beth were intimate and that they hadn't had sex since before they were married. Krasley implies that it's because Beth is no longer attracted to her due to her weight.

3. Is Gina Krasley a porn star?
Just because Krasley isn't having sex with her spouse doesn't mean she's been entirely celibate this whole time. Since her episode aired in the last week of January, fans found not only her social media accounts but also evidence that she had a side career making fetish videos for porn sites.
Verification of the rumors is a little hard to track down, however. Since word got out that Gina Krasley goes by the alter-ego Miss GG and films adult content, all of her public pages have been taken down, including the YouTube channel she allegedly used to have. The rumor is she made a few videos with her sister, including one where her sister gives her a bath.
We ran a search of the name Miss GG on the popular site Pornhub and found one video for a performer using that name. She appeared with the hashtag "SSBBW" which designates her as a "Super-Sized Big Beautiful Woman."
The video is called "SSBBW Miss GG & SSBBW Lexi Bounce Around" and in it, one woman with her back to the camera sits on a beachball placed on the chest of a man lying on the floor, while another woman watches. All three people in the video are fully clothed. The only face we can see is the woman watching the beachball action. It's possible that it's her sister but we really can't be sure who anyone in the video is.
Other searches led to hits for a SSBBW named Miss GG but following the links led to pages where the videos had recently been removed.
4. She wouldn't be the first My 600-lb Life cast member to do fetish videos.
As we mentioned, getting a job is a challenge for many of the people on the show so using the internet to make money is a savvy choice. The women on 1000-lb Sisters have a YouTube channel where they do makeup and cooking tutorials.
But other My 600-lb Life participants have gone the fetish route in the past. Pauline Potter, who was featured on the show in 2015, had her own channel on a site called "Supersized Bombshells". Renee Biran, who was on the show on in 2018, was also known as “Massive Mocha” during her career as a plus-sized fetish model.
5. How did Krasley's weight loss journey go?
Krasley's episode of My 600-lb Life was one that left viewers disappointed in her lack of progress. Despite Dr. Now giving her multiple chances to hit pre-surgery weight-loss goals and deploying a therapist and a dietitian to help her along the way, Krasley was only able to drop around 60 pounds over the course of the eight months she was in Houston.
On her surgery date, she had gained weight and Dr. Now cancelled her operation on the spot. He told her that she could have one more chance to qualify for surgery but after he said that, the episode ended, so we're not sure she stands as of this writing.
6. Is Gina Krasley still making adult fetish videos?
As we noted, all of Krasley's social media and YouTube pages have been deleted since word got out that she had a history in fetish porn. Neither she nor TLC has commented on the revelations at this time.
The lack of social media also means we don't know how her weight loss journey is going since her episode, either. It would be great if she appeared on a follow-up in the future who we can't predict what she or TLC will do next.
