Asia Carrera
From Adult Film Star to Attorney!!!
Published
Retired porn star Asia Carrera has a lot to celebrate … because she just passed the bar exam in Texas and is one step closer to officially being a lawyer!
Asia — born Jessica Steinhauser — recently announced on Facebook she passed the bar after taking the highly demanding test back in February … and it seems she’s ready to start practicing law.
TMZ looked into it … and sure enough, Asia is listed — under her birth name — among those who were admitted to The State Bar of Texas.
The former adult film star previously said via Facebook … she took the bar for the second time inside a huge room in Waco, packed with nearly 1,000 would-be lawyers taking the grueling exam. She said she was more than ready this time after missing by just two points on her prior attempt.
What’s really wild is … Asia said she didn’t even want to be a lawyer — she just wanted to prove she could pass the bar. The development isn’t really that shocking … AC is best known for her prior career, but it is also well documented that she’s super smart — a member of Mensa, with an IQ of 156. And she already had a master’s degree in education.
There’s a great pro bono joke somewhere in all this … but we’re taking the high road.
Congrats, Asia!
