Jenna grew up in Las Vegas. Her father was a police officer, and her mother was a showgirl (she died of skin cancer when Jenna was only 2 years old). Thr rough-and-tumble life continued when four jocks raped her after a high school football game and was beaten by rocks. She also says that she was raped for the second time by her boyfriend’s biker uncle. Jenna didn’t tell her father, instead she moved in with her boyfriend. The boyfriend “encouraged” her to start dancing at Las Vegas strip clubs, even though she was still a minor. Her first place of work was the club named Crazy Horse, but they wouldn’t accept her right away, because she had braces. She decided to remove the braces herself, and she landed the job. In a few months she was already making two grand a night. She even got a Chevrolet Corvette from one of her clients. She started to act in adult films as a way to revenge her cheating boyfriend. Jenna Jameson got her stage name last name from her favorite brand of whiskey.
