The tragic story of Alyssa Funke, the 19-year-old college freshman who took her own life after being outed as a porn performer, was particularly personal to Belle Knox.

Nineteen-year-old Alyssa Funke, a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, bought a shotgun, drove to her family's boat, and killed herself there on April 14. Students at her former high school had outed her as the star of a "casting couch" porn video, and her parents say the subsequent online harassment contributed to her suicide.
