*Australia Special!* Jackie Ultra 2019 - The Fireside Chat Series
Channel: Fireside Chats with Douglas O'Keeffe
Date: 2020-04-27

Jackie Ultra ran the iconic Sydney Hellfire Club for almost 27 years before it shuttered in December 2019.

In this interview, Jackie talks about her abusive childhood at the hands of her parents and how that informed her view of a stark contrast between abuse and BDSM, where consent, willingness, and a sense of play are at the core differences. She talks about meeting her husband Master Tom at her first Hellfire event, her views on performative BDSM, and why she chose to close Hellfire Club.


Inside Leather History: A Fireside Chat is produced by Douglas O’Keeffe and Mistress Joanne C. Gaddy (the “Producers”). The Chats seek to capture the memories, reflections, and experiences of leaders in the leather and/or LGBTQ communities. With a deep and heartfelt regard for the importance of our history, it is the intent of the Producers to collect, preserve, and appropriately share the stories of our forebears and others who have made significant contributions to the leather and/or LGBTQ communities. This is done through a series of recorded interviews.
