Porn star ‘extremely disappointed’ to be cut out of Cruz ad

The porn star inadvertently featured in Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s recent campaign ad is speaking out after the ad was taken down once Cruz’s campaign realized what she did for a living.

“Extremely disappointed the #TedCruz campaign pulled the national television spot I had a role in … #moretocome #myvotecounts,” Amy Lindsay tweeted late Thursday night.

She also vented her frustrations on Facebook early Friday morning.

“Anyone who knows me or knows my ‘work’ knows it is rated R… Jeez,” she said. “I told the rags that I thought it was cool that I could b socially liberal & fiscally conservative. I’m voting republican period. I honestly saw the ‘left’s’ war on women tonight!!

“Unbelievable….So much for me staying out of political posts…but in the spirit of someone else: if they attack or defame me…hey I’m fighting back!”

The ad in question was released Thursday and called “Conservatives Anonymous.” The spot features seven people, including Lindsay, sitting in a circle and expressing their regret for supporting Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

It was pulled once the Cruz campaign found out that Lindsay had appeared in multiple adult movies.

“The actress responded to an open casting call,” Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler told BuzzFeed News. “She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the production company. Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad.”

Lindsay told BuzzFeed News that though she originally thought the Cruz campaign worker who hired her “absolutely knew everything that I had done,” she was clearly wrong in that regard.

“I have clearly talked to the filmmakers and stuff and just to be clear, I assumed that they knew, but none of the filmmakers or the casting director knew about my complete filmography in the past that you’re talking about, so I was wrong in that statement,” she said.

As of last night, Lindsay said she was still choosing between Cruz and Donald Trump for her vote in the 2016 presidential election.
