Skylar Grey Edited Hardcore Porn for Two Weeks, Developed Hallucinatory Tetris Effect

What was said

"I started getting this thing called the Tetris effect. I was hallucinating like gaping buttholes. There was like a light socket over my bed and every night when I fell asleep, I would stare at that and see a gaping butthole."

Skylar Grey revealed that after her first record deal flopped and she went broke in LA at 18, she took a job editing hardcore porn for $30 an hour through a Craigslist ad. She lasted only two weeks before the psychological toll became too severe, experiencing visual hallucinations of graphic sexual imagery even when not working. The experience came before she went on tour as a backup keyboardist and eventually wrote her breakthrough hit.
