The porn star who was with Charlie Sheen during his rampage at the Plaza Hotel in New York last week is the daughter of a Co. Cork immigrant who lives in the Bronx.
Christina Walsh, whose working name is Capri Anderson or Alexis Capri, grew up in the Norwood section of the Bronx with her Irish family.Walsh, 22, grew up in a very loving Irish family and moved out a few years ago to pursue a career in the porn industry.
According to a family friend who contacted the Irish Voice following a Facebook message, “The Walsh family are very good people and this is a difficult time for them.”
Walsh’s father Paul, 74, emigrated from Mitchelstown, Co. Cork after attending the University College of Cork to pursue the American Dream.
Paul, who worked many jobs since coming to the U.S., runs a dog breeding business out of his home in the Bronx. Each of the dogs he sells are born in Ireland. He is divorced from Christina’s mother.
A family friend, who asked not to be named, told the Irish Voice via Facebook, “Paul and his daughters are a lovely family and the media attention they are receiving is over the top and unnecessary.”
The friend said that the “whole saga” is heartbreaking for them.
“The life Christina chose is private and her family should not be dragged into this mess.”
The friend added that Christina is “very proud” of her Irish heritage and her father.
“Christina is close with her family and I'm sure they are supporting her through this time.”
The family friend described Christina as a “very sweet girl” growing up.
“I'm sure the choices she has made in her career were for good reasons. In my eyes she is still very young and impressionable,” the friend said.
During a screen test for a porn movie four years ago -- currently playing live on the TMZ website -- Walsh explained her heritage.
When asked by the interviewer about her ancestry and where she gets her looks from, Walsh replied, “I’m am Walsh, which was the French settlers in Ireland for those of you who don’t know.”
On Walsh’s Facebook page it states that she left home at 18 to pursue her career because her parents did not want her posing nude.
Walsh, the youngest of four girls, traveled to Ireland last summer with her three sisters and her father for a cousin’s wedding. There are several pictures of her with her family in Ireland, dressed modestly and appearing shy.
