The former Disney Channel star recently took to TikTok to give a one-year “mental health update.” He spoke about leaving the world of acting behind for a career in adult entertainment. According to Benson, he’s been doing well, and people have supported him along the way.
“Mental health check-in: I’ve been doing adult entertainment for about a year now. My first reaction is confusion because I expected a lot more hate,” said Benson. “And instead, people have just been like, ‘Go you! Empowerment,’ which is awesome. Mental health-wise, I feel good. I don’t feel bad about myself. I feel kind of like a badass, a little bit.”
Benson, 35, went on to say that he’s feeling “excited” about the future, and continues to become more comfortable with sharing himself with others.
“You’re gonna get what I’m comfortable with sharing with the world, which now is quite a bit,” Benson said. “So, anyway, I’m feeling good, I’m excited about the future, and I don’t really feel bad about my decisions at all.”
The actor ended things by thanking fans who have supported him. Benson said it’s been fun interacting with people who may come up to him on the street.
“If you’ve checked out my stuff at all, thank you so much. And if you’ve liked any of my videos or said ‘hi’ in the comments, thank you so much. You guys are amazing,” said Benson. “I hope to see you out in public and if you do, give me a big hug because so many people have been doing that lately, and it’s been really fun for me.”
