has no plans to walk away from her Christian faith, even if some fellow believers question whether it can coexist with her adult-content career.
The “Double Lives of Suburban Wives” star spoke candidly to Fox News Digital about being kicked out of a church over her career, saying the experience challenged her faith in people, but not in God.
“Me being kicked out of the church that I was at was a real, I think, testament to my faith, in that it never wavered my faith in God,” Tammy told Fox News Digital. “It, of course, made me look at my faith in people.”
Tammy said she ultimately chose forgiveness rather than allowing the experience to change her relationship with her faith.
“I did have to, like, choose to forgive for my own heart that, you know, people are people. People make wrong judgments,” she said. “You know, they’re doing their best of what they think to, like, lead us in the way that they think they should.”
“But ultimately, at the end of the day, God knows my heart,” Tammy continued. “You know, God has purpose even in my life right now, as I’m sitting in this chair, you know, that pastor didn’t know about. And I lean into that more than I do human opinions.”

Tammy is one of the women featured on TLC’s “Double Lives of Suburban Wives,” which follows six couples in the St. Louis area balancing marriage, parenthood and suburban life with careers creating adult content.
Tammy and her husband, Drew, have been building a business together since college and now work together creating adult content. TLC describes the couple as a steady presence within the group, while Tammy wrestles with how her faith fits into the life they’ve created.
The series, which premiered Aug. 9, follows the women as they confront judgment, family expectations and the complications that come with balancing different parts of their lives.
Asked directly whether she believes what she does for a living is a sin, Tammy acknowledged the conflict.
“I think there are sinful elements, obviously, I’m not going to ignore that, but just like everything else in life, we are not perfect,” Tammy told Fox News Digital.
“But I think out of that imperfection, God can still do amazing things, and I’m focusing on that,” she continued. “And, you know, I hope that I’m still open, that God can open up doors in my life and change me in the way that He wants to change me.”
Tammy also had a message for Christians who believe her faith and career are incompatible.

“I would just challenge them to look at their own lives,” she said.
Tammy pointed to the Christian teaching about casting the first stone while arguing that no believer is without sin.
“I mean, in the Bible, it says, like, you know, you who’ve cast the first stone, you know, like we’re not all blameless and sinless,” she said. “Like the whole point of Christianity is that Jesus died for our sins, because nobody by their works was going to be perfect to earn that.”
“And it’s through that grace that we are allowed to be with God and be in communion with God,” Tammy continued. “And even though my sin looks different from yours, we’re all still imperfect.”
Her co-star Brianna, who joined Tammy for the interview, interjected, “Who’s to say that your sin is worse?”
Tammy added, “Yeah, or yours is just hidden and mine I’m open about.”
