The 18-year-old was on the cover of Philadelphia Daily News where she dished on her choice to star in X-rated films and how it does not make her a bad person.
"I don't want people to pity me or to think I did porn because it was my last resort or my last option," she said. "The message I'm trying to get out is that I, like so many women, made an educated and informed decision about my body, and everything I do is autonomous, and I love my work."
Ever since another student outed Weeks as a porn star, the actress and student reportedly went through a difficult time, including name-calling and death threats. But despite the issues she had to deal with, Weeks is aiming to stay positive.
"I don't regret what I did," Weeks said. "I think that everything happens for a reason. At first, it was really, really negative, but I think I've been able to turn it around into something that's positive.
"I really think I've started a narrative in this country about sex-workers' rights," Weeks continued. "So I think that while this has been a really heart-wrenching, horrible experience, I hope that it's brought some good."
The site also mentioned that Weeks will be hosting a reality show called The Sex Factor and has a book coming out this summer.
