“ It was hot girls having a blast. There's nothing wrong with that. I thought it was aspirational. I did not yet realize that we were in fact shooting porn and that that was actually happening in the back room of the bus that we were living on.”
- Courtney Kocak, former Girls Gone Wild “Merch Girl”
