Miriam Weeks, known by her stage name of Belle Knox,[1][4][5] is an American former pornographic film actress. She is known for performing in pornography while studying at Duke University.[6][7][8]
Knox started doing pornography in 2013 to help pay for her $60,000 per year tuition costs. In late 2013, her career became publicly known on campus, and she faced extensive in-person and online harassment. Knox took a college-sanctioned break from Duke University in early 2014[9] and later returned to continue her studies.[10]
Knox has publicly defended her decision to do the work, as well as explained her views of feminism and rights for sex workers.[6][7][11] She believes her experiences are indicative of the rising costs of higher education in the United States.[12]
Knox has won a 2014 Fanny Award and a 2015 XBIZ Award.
