Belle Knox, Duke University Freshman Porn Star: 18-Year-Old's Father Thinks Daughter's X-Rated Career 'A Tragedy' Amid Return From Afghanistan [VIDEO]
Miriam Weeks, the Duke University freshman who's mostly know by her porn name, "Belle Knox," isn't exactly receiving approval for her current escapades, according to reports.
Amanda Minor, the mother-in-law of Knox's brother Paul Weeks, told Mail Online on Monday that the 18-year-old's father, Kevin Weeks, wasn't too happy after learning of the news after returning home from duty in Afghanistan, saying "This is a tragedy of the family. The father is one of the best human beings I've ever met. He is just back from Afghanistan; he served his country, how awesome is that?"
Despite the Duke student's less-than-ideal way of paying the bills, her family looks to be standing by her side nonetheless.
"He's so proud of his daughter, there's no way they could have known this was going on," Minor said. "It's terrible. But they would never abandon their daughter. This is a nightmare what the family are going through," Minor added.
Knox was reportedly using her porn money to pay for her college education when another student spilled the beans on her secret identity.
Knox told Playboy SFW on March 4 that if the school had been able to help her financially, then she wouldn't have made the decision to star in X-rated films.
"If Duke had given me the proper financial resources, I wouldn't have done porn," Knox said. "They have nobody to blame for the scandal but themselves."
