Rachel Marie Oberlin (born October 7, 1986), also known by her stage name Bree Olson, is an American actress, model, and former pornographic actress. She performed in over 281 pornographic films from 2006 to 2011 before changing to mainstream acting. Since leaving the adult film industry, she has become critical of the industry and the stigma attached to being a former porn actress.
Olson was born in Houston, Texas. Olson’s maternal grandparents were Ukrainians who immigrated to Texas, then Fort Wayne, Indiana, when she was two years old. On March 1, 2011, Olson was reported to be living with actor Charlie Sheen. The relationship ended in April 2011.
On June 17, 2015, Olson posted an open letter on Twitter advising women to avoid the adult film industry. On March 24, 2016, writing as a guest columnist in Daily Dot, she related her post-porn social life, stating, «porn didn’t hurt me. The way society treats me for having done it does». In the same article, she claimed she is «broke», although independent sources had claimed in 2015 she was «worth US$ 5 million. This article was later followed by her March 25 appearance in the YouTube documentary series «Real Women, Real Stories», in which she repeated these claims, adding that she believes society in general perceives ex-porn stars in a highly negative manner, specifically as morally akin to pedophiles. She is also critical of the pornography industry, noting «We are the only entertainment industry that doesn’t offer talent royalties after they are gone,» but not of the profession itself.
