LOS ANGELES — Sadie Summers is featured in a new Daily Mail article covering an on-set mishap and personal details that led to her adult return.

During the filming of Adult Time’s “The Fucket List,” a male scene partner was instructed to unzip Summers’ pants “in one smooth motion,” she told the Daily Mail. But the zipper “grabbed” private parts of her anatomy and “got stuck.”

Summers also disclosed that she left adult to pursue a nursing career, where she cared for elderly patients who changed her perspective on life.

“Almost 99 percent of people wish they had done life differently,” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Why am I confining myself to societal norms?’ I love sex work. I’m not ashamed of it. So, let’s try something new that will give me more free time with my family.”
