Funke, a straight-A student at the University of Wisconsin River Falls, shot a scene for CastingCouch-X earlier this year, when she was still 18. In the video—still available on the porn site—Funke introduces herself as “Stella Ann” and says she plans to major in biology and become an anesthesiologist.

One student tweeted, “Wow your a thot,” which means slut. Another wrote: “Nothing brings a school together like a porn star who graduated last year. I guess you could say news spreads fast here at Stillwater hahah.”
