- Linda Syndrome
The Linda Syndrome is a phrase used largely within the
pornography community to describeadult film stars who allegedly seek acceptance insociety by repudiating their past career.The term was coined by Hart Williams, who also refers to it as "Conversion Syndrome" or "Paul On The Road To Damascus."
The Linda Syndrome is named after porn star
Linda Lovelace (Linda Boreman) of the porncult classic , "Deep Throat," who began attacking the industry and espousing alleged wrongs against it via biographies and lectures. Boreman gave testimony to the1986 U.S. Congress ional hearings known as theMeese Commission on Pornography during theRonald Reagan era.Adult film stars who "fall victim" to the Linda Syndrome are viewed almost without exception in the industry as hypocrites and traitors against the industry, in which they tend to leave no friends behind.
