Duke University porn star whose porn name is Belle Knox revealed in an XO Jane article that she's a freshman of the school but she's still keeping her real name under the covers for fear that the harassment she's receiving will escalate.

Duke porn star Belle Knox insisted that the high cost of education in America is what pushed her into the porn industry, so she doesn't really deserve all the abuse from her fellow students, a good number of whom are demanding that the university should expel her.

Duke porn star Belle Knox wrote on the Jane article: "My decision to do porn to pay for college was a private one I made, and then I was outed to my university classmates by another Duke student who had seen me on the Internet a few months ago."

"He proceeded to reveal who I was to the entire Greek system," Duke porn star Belle Knox said. "I started to be harassed. He started to be applauded."

MailOnline confirmed the harassment the Duke porn star has received through a series of tweets the website published, with the names of the users censored.

One of the tweets said: "The school should just expel her, or we will take matters into our own hands and make this ____ up suffer."

Another Twitter user wrote: "We are going to throw garbage at ____ every ____ day!!! Let's do it GREEK FRAT!!!!!!!!!"

Still another user directly threatened the Duke porn star: "...IF I SEE YOU WALKING ON CAMPUS. I WILL KICK YOU IN THE FACE!"

Duke porn star Belle Knox also justified why she's not revealing her real name.

"My birth name is one name. IT IS MINE. It is the name I am enrolled in at Duke. It is what my family and friends call me. My porn name is another name. It is the name I use when I perform. These are two different worlds in which I inhabit," she said.
