Early life and education
Jenna was born on 9th April 1974 in Las Vegas, Nevada to Judith Hunt and Lawrence Massoli. Her father was in law enforcement as the local sheriff while her mom worked as a showgirl at a Las Vegas strip club. Unfortunately, her mother passed away when she was almost 2 years old from Melanoma.
The treatments her mom needed before her passing were so costly, that the family became bankrupt after she died. They ended up moving into a trailer and her dad became a workaholic trying to make up for all their unpaid debts. At this point, Jenna and her elder brother Tony became each other's parents.
At a very young age, Jenna was attracted to the limelight. She often trained as a dancer and took part in beauty pageants. Then, when she was 16, she rebelled by leaving home, using pliers to remove her braces and becoming an exotic dancer. How mind-boggling is that? She suffered a lot of sexual assault during this time.
