Not because I had nothing to say—but because I had too much history.

I’ve done this before.
I’ve built brands. I’ve created content. I’ve been visible, desirable, marketable, clickable.
And then I’d log on and see new talent doing versions of what I once did, louder, shinier, younger… and suddenly my fingers would hover over the keyboard and stop.

Who was I to post now?

That’s imposter syndrome in its sneakiest form—not telling you that you aren’t good enough, but whispering that your time has passed.

The Performance Was Exhausting

Let me be honest about something I rarely said out loud:

Getting glammed up every single day.
Pretending to always be horny.
Being “on” 24/7.

That version of me was real at one point—but it became a performance.
And performing a persona that no longer fits your life will drain you faster than burnout ever could.

So I took breaks. Long ones.

Not because I was lazy.
Not because I “fell off.”
But because I couldn’t keep lying to myself—or my audience.

When Life Forces the Mask to Crack

Then life happened. Hard.

I lost my roommate.
I was surrounded by energy vampires—people who took and took while I was barely holding myself together.
I turned 50, which cracked open every societal lie I’d ever been told about age, relevance, and desire.
My health demanded attention I could no longer ignore.

And somewhere in the middle of grief, exhaustion, self-doubt, and reflection, I realized:

I wasn’t just dealing with imposter syndrome.

I was having a full-blown identity crisis.

Who Am I If I’m Not the Old Persona?

That question haunted me.

Who am I if I’m not performing sexuality on demand?
Who am I if I don’t fit neatly into an algorithm-friendly box?
Who am I if I choose truth over consistency?

The answer didn’t come all at once—but it came clearly.

I am:

• A housewife who understands the power of domestic softness
• An entrepreneur who’s built and rebuilt more times than most people ever attempt
• A creative who refuses to be boxed in by age or trend cycles
• A body-positive advocate in a world that still fears women who take up space
• A cougar on the prowl, unapologetic, playful, and confident
• An age-accepting woman who refuses to disappear quietly

And that version of me?
She doesn’t need to pretend.

Reclaiming My Voice—On My Terms

Imposter syndrome told me I didn’t belong anymore.

Authenticity told me I belonged more than ever.

This transformation isn’t a rebrand—it’s a return.
A return to myself.
A return to creating without fear of comparison.
A return to showing up as I am, not who the internet once rewarded me for being.

I’m not here to compete with the new generation.
I’m here to stand beside them, rooted in experience, confidence, and truth.

If you’re reading this and you’ve been quiet—not because you lack talent, but because you’re tired of pretending—this is your permission slip.

You’re not behind.
You’re not irrelevant.
You’re evolving.

And sometimes, evolution looks like stepping back…
So you can finally step forward as yourself.

Why I’m Leaving ManyVids

Creators deserve transparency, professionalism, and leadership that reflects stability and respect for the people who make the platform profitable.

One of the final straws for me was the very public and unprofessional behavior displayed by the owner of ManyVids on Twitter. The recent online outbursts weren’t just uncomfortable to watch — they highlighted deeper issues around leadership, accountability, and how creators are regarded.

That incident didn’t exist in a vacuum. It reinforced concerns I’ve had for a while:

• Lack of trust in platform leadership
• Questionable public representation of the brand
• Ongoing issues creators are expected to tolerate quietly

I choose not to.

Leaving is not a loss — it’s a boundary.

What’s Next

This isn’t the end. It’s a redirect.

I’m prioritizing:

• Platforms that align with my values
• Direct support from my audience
• Ownership over my content and brand

Thank you for being part of the journey — and for following me into what’s next.

It was created because I needed a place where my voice could exist without being edited, muted, shadowbanned, softened, or reshaped to make other people comfortable.

For a long time, my voice lived inside boxes.

Boxes labeled appropriate, brand-safe, marketable, acceptable.
Boxes built by platforms, audiences, industries, and sometimes even by people who benefited from my silence more than my truth.

This blog is me stepping outside of those boxes.

A Space Without Censorship (or Apology)

Social media is powerful—but it is not neutral.

What you can say, how you can say it, and who gets amplified is often dictated by rules that change without warning and enforcement that is anything but equal. Certain bodies, industries, identities, and perspectives are constantly filtered, flagged, or erased.

I wanted a space where I don’t have to wonder:

• Will this get taken down?
• Will this be “too much”?
• Will this cost me reach, income, or visibility?

Here, I don’t need permission to be honest.

This blog is where I get to speak freely—about business, identity, money, power, creativity, sexuality, burnout, success, failure, joy, anger, and everything in between—without reducing myself to a highlight reel or a hashtag.

More Than a Brand—A Voice

I wear many titles: creator, entrepreneur, strategist, founder, woman, BBW, industry insider, observer, student, teacher.

But before all of that, I am a person with lived experience, opinions, lessons, and stories that deserve space.

This blog is not here to sell you perfection.
It’s here to document growth.
It’s here to tell the truth—especially the parts that don’t fit neatly into captions or 30-second clips.

Some posts will be strategic.
Some will be reflective.
Some will be uncomfortable.
Some will be deeply personal.

All of them will be real.

Owning My Narrative

When you don’t tell your own story, someone else will—often inaccurately, unfairly, or with their own agenda.

This blog is how I take ownership of my narrative.

Not to explain myself.
Not to justify my choices.
But to define myself on my own terms.

I’m done shrinking complex thoughts into sound bites.
I’m done diluting truth for engagement.
I’m done letting silence be mistaken for absence.

Who This Blog Is For

This space is for:

• People who feel censored, boxed in, or misunderstood
• Creators and entrepreneurs navigating systems that weren’t built for them
• Anyone craving honesty over polish
• Anyone who knows that freedom starts with expression

You don’t have to agree with everything I say.
You don’t even have to like every post.

But you will always know it’s genuine.

A Living, Breathing Space

This blog will evolve—because I evolve.

My thoughts may change.
My perspective may deepen.
My voice may sharpen.

That’s not inconsistency. That’s growth.

If you’re here, thank you for witnessing it.

This isn’t just a blog.
It’s a reclamation.
It’s a record.
It’s my voice—finally uncensored.

Welcome.

The truth is, there were many reasons for discontinuing the production of XXX porn also known has “Hardcore” or boy/girl (B/G) girl-girl (GG) content in the adult industry. It’s simple, yet complicated but rather than let others control the narrative of my story, I am sharing why I made the very difficult but also quite easy decision to transition to more Dominate style content.

To understand why I retired, you would need to know how I entered. I stumbled into the “porn” industry purely by accident. My entry was very naive and filled with many learning lessons. I was figuring out how to maneuver through my own personal sexual journey while also doing so very publicly through the creation of adult content to be seen, viewed, and enjoyed by anyone who found it online. While this did propose many struggles and difficulties, ultimately I found the best version of myself through this journey. There were certainly pros and cons, and there still continue to be both the good, bad and ugly of being an adult entertainer.

The question then remains.

“Why did I retire from porn?”

Kari “Platinum Puzzy” Anthony – The Queen of BBW

First and foremost, I wasn’t making enough money. I know, that sounds crazy that I didn’t consider the revenue “enough” money. The fact is, I was generating more money than I had ever imagined. But when I think about the risk versus the reward, I found the risk wasn’t worth it in the long run. The risks soon outweighed the rewards, and the relentless pressure of creating this kind of content began impacting my personal life in ways that no amount of money could justify.

There are a lot of careless and irresponsible people that do not take this business professionally and use the talent as personal conquests. With that being said, sexual safety and health were not prioritized and often out right ignored. Being a witness to such unacceptable behavior became increasingly difficult to stay silent and inevitably forced me to reevaluate my own talent options. I decided I no longer wanted to be in the rooms and circles where this conduct was taking place. Removing myself was necessary!

The industry became my life and I was lost in the “porn persona”

Kari “Platinum Puzzy” Anthony – The Queen of BBW

My personal life also struggled to exist as my “porn persona” took over and Dominated every aspect of my life. While this can be good for business, it’s terrible for the work life balance. It certainly made personal intimate relationships difficult as the industry and porn persona was ALWAYS priority over emotional connections. I will be honest, I also tried to turn my love interests into my content partner so rather than there being an emotional connection, it would always turn to business in one way or another. This was definitely NOT the best way to approach things for me, at least.

Many presume that my choice to retire came as a result of entering into a partnership romantically, and to some extent that is partially true but not entirely. At the time that I met my current partner, I was already making changes and decided I wasn’t getting anything out of the content to make it worth it. In fact, it was me who made the choice to completely stop shooting hardcore. A decision I don’t regret at all.

I am not a good porn actress!

Kari “Platinum Puzzy” Anthony – The Queen of BBW

I know it’s hard to believe, lol but the truth is I wasn’t good at acting. And not having control of the titles for movies I filmed, not getting royalties and low pay on top of poor set conditions just didn’t make it ideal for me. I am the Queen, I expect the red carpet to be laid out for me. Ok, so maybe I didn’t expect all of that but I can say that my experiences weren’t professional at all. I knew I didn’t want to be in these situations again.

Everyone has the right to choose and I made my choice. I haven’t looked back since!

How I Got My Start in the Adult Industry

For years, a full face of makeup made me feel pretty. I was hiding behind the makeup. Swimming in insecurities, crippled with lack of confidence and no idea of who I was; makeup was the mask that disguised how I truly felt about myself.

As I’ve gotten older, and gained confidence I became less and less dependent of that makeup to express myself and connect with my feminine energy. I have shed that insecurity and embraced who I am as a woman, a curvy and aging Queen. Truth be told, it’s FREEING to be in a space where I am comfortable with or without makeup.

Another reason I’ve been wearing less makeup is the better health of my skin. I have to admit that aside from drinking water, eating healthier and other contributions; not wearing makeup keeps my skin so much clearer and looking good! To be 50 and have the skin that I have, is such a blessing and I will do anything to preserve that youthful appearance as long as I can!

The most influential person in my decision to stop wearing makeup is my partner. He has expressed since the very beginning of our friendship how much he adores me without makeup. Truthfully, that has had such a positive impact on my self esteem and confidence! I always thought my lover would want a full face of makeup, glammed up to “pretty perfection” but that just isn’t the case. I owe him a huge thanks for helping me reach a point in my life where I can feel comfortable without makeup.

Ultimately, staying true to myself and my content is what matters most. Knowing that my fans appreciate and embrace my natural face reaffirms that I’m exactly where I need to be. And at the end of the day, that’s what this journey is all about.

H to the O E, If you recognize that from a Jay Z lyric, congratulations! Yes, I gave it a lil splash of coochie juice to make it special! Whether you are finding me for the first time, or a long time supporter; I’d like to take this opportunity to reintroduce myself. Hi, my name is Kari “Platinum Puzzy” Anthony and also known as “The Queen of BBW!” I self proclaimed myself the Queen of BBW during one of my many transition periods where my stage name “Platinum Puzzy” was getting flagged on social media and costing accounts I worked hard to build.

I have been in the content creation and adult entertainment business 20 years! 2 motha fuckin’ decades! I have seen a lot and learned so much in that time. In fact, I am celebrating 20 years along with my expo family Exxxotica! If you have been with me since the beginning, you have seen me at my best, my worst and watched me elevate and grow! Although a lot of what I have been through has not been shared publicly, there have been many moments of pride that many of you were privy to witness and some even experience!

Times got REALLY dark…

2023 was a rough year for me. I had things take place in my life that affected me in ways that I didn’t realize and put ALL of my energy into iHeartBBW.com rather than focusing on my mental health. By the end of 2023, I watched everything I worked for fall apart. For months, I struggled with the balance of accepting responsibility for my mistakes, failures and misjudgments. I was in a dark space facing my demons and feelings I avoided throughout the majority of the year.

When 2024 came, I knew I needed to isolate myself and heal. I can’t lie, it didn’t look good for quite a while. I was hurting, confused, angry, traumatized, regretful and full of so many emotions. To be real honest with you, it was a roller coaster of emotions that had me up one day, down the next. I wanted OFF this ride!!

But without going into a long, sad story about that period of time; I can summarize by saying that coming out on the other end of that difficult time as a rising phoenix is a wonderful feeling.

Hitting the magical middle age!

And right in time to turn the big 50 on February 1, 2025! Ironically, I was called “old” and “washed up” in conversations (never to my face to or to me directly) but heard different rumblings about my absence was due to being “unable to keep up.” I might’ve let a thought or 2 slide into my brain for a very brief moment last year where I thought maybe that was the case, but I can tell you 100% that is NOT the truth. In fact, quite the opposite!

Let me introduce you to Kari Anthony 5.0, 50 fat and fabulous!

I have only been in the 50 and over club for just over 30 days, but what I can share with you all is that I am the most at peace, happiest, confident and proud of myself I have ever been in my entire life. Not giving a fuck really does free you of so much anxiety and toxicity. Unapologetically authentically the best version of myself I have ever met!

I have accomplished A LOT of great things in this industry, and in life in general but truth is, I am not done in my pursuit to show people that being fat, fashionable, and fifty is also FABULOUS! While many are often afraid of aging, or rest their happiness on a number on a scale… I am living, happy proof that your age and weight don’t define WHO you are and how you show up!

So where does that leave my content? How does all of this relate to my business and online presence?

I am so glad you asked! I will pursue my Digital Dominatrix content, while offering my old xxx content on my website PlainumPuzzy.net and continuing with podcasts, as well as other projects. I have some other announcements coming soon so definitely stay subscribed to my blog so you can get the scoop on what’s next!

Thank you for reading, supporting and CUMMING along for the ride!
