“You don’t get to redo life...”
Lexi at press time had been L.A. for almost two months, landing scenes for high- profile studios such as Deeper that have yet to be released.
Now she plans to travel to the West Coast as often as she needs to as she gets back into the groove.
“I’m going to keep my house in Texas,” Stone says. “I’m really just rolling with it. I’ve been trying to say ‘yes’ to everything that I can.”
Lexi published her memoir, My Real Dad Was a Stripper, in November 2021, marking a turning point in her life.
The book recounts her journey from birth all the way to making the decision to do porn the first time and then walking onto the set.
“And that’s where it stops,” Lexi explains. “Whether it was true or not, I felt like I was carrying baggage—secret, hidden baggage—and once I released my book I didn’t have that baggage anymore.”
Now she feels free and focused.
“I actually have nothing to hide anymore,” Lexi continues. “I’m 40 now and life starts to look different. I don’t give a fuck. Those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter.”
It’s why this time Stone is just being herself—and anyone who sees her on TikTok can attest that’s entertaining enough. She built a following of 32,000 there without posting any thirst-trap content. It’s also where Lexi promoted her book in a big way.
Now she would like to use her growing social media platforms to “stand up for the industry and be a voice for the industry.”
“I want [the fans] to understand what the business is like and what it’s not.”
Her website MsLoveStoned.com links to her book, her merch and her social media. In addition becoming successful in real estate in both West Hollywood and Beverly
Hills, Stone appeared as herself on two reality TV shows in 2016 during her hiatus. She was on The Celebrity Plastic Surgeons of Beverly Hills on Netflix and Million Dollar Listings LA (Season 9, Episode 8 “Nightmare on Altman Street”); and then she
received a spotlight on After Buzz TV.
Lexi also worked as a DJ for a couple months.
“You don’t get to redo life,” she tells AVN. “The only things you truly regret as
you get older are the things you did not do. Those things might have some shame attached to them, but ultimately you learn something from them. You fall down and you get back up and start new. I rebuilt myself.
“I had buried Lexi, she was gone. Now, let’s bring her back.”
