Kelly said her boyfriend had already “insisted” on taking graphic photos of the pair – before getting a video camera and urging Minka to “perform more vicious scenes”.
She was shocked at the way she acted “like a little kid,” Kelly said upon watching the video, writing: “I didn’t even remember making the tape. I became a master at letting go of my body when things were uncomfortable.”
An ex-boyfriend allegedly tried to sell the video to the press years later, with Kelly saying she had to shell out $50,000 to buy back the movie.
She said her boyfriend wanted her to write his name in ink on her body and, fearing she would be kicked out of the house, agreed to get her lip imprint tattooed “on the side of her pubic mound”.
She wrote: “Little did I know I would spend the rest of my life explaining to new lovers what the sign was, and lying to everyone… I was ashamed to admit the truth, I was so dependent on a man ‘d let him label me as (if) I was a member of the NXIVM sect.

Maureen suggested raising the child together, and Kelly wrote, “With what money? What house? What insurance? I couldn’t imagine bringing a child to what my mom brought me to. Of course not.”
