Cassie Jaye Net Worth

Jaye was born in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, United States. At age eighteen, she moved to Los Angeles, where she was an Actress for five years before moving to Marin County, California in 2008.

Jaye directed and produced the 2010 American documentary film Daddy I Do which examines sex education and sexual abstinence programs in America. Daddy I Do addresses America's "twisted, tortured relationship" with sex and asks, "whether the moral and ideological standards of one group has the right to determine, even intrude, on the educational standards of the entire population."

The film premiered in February 2012, three years before the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States, at the historical Castro Theatre in San Francisco, California with honorary guest speaker Zach Wahls. The film went on to screen at the Frameline Film Festival, the United States' first and oldest film festival devoted to LGBT programming.

Jaye directed and produced the 2016 American documentary film The Red Pill about the men's rights movement. Jaye spent a year interviewing men's rights figures, such as Paul Elam, founder of A Voice for Men; Harry Crouch, President of the National Coalition for Men; Warren Farrell, author of The Myth of Male Power; and Erin Pizzey, who started the first domestic violence shelter in the modern world. She also interviewed critics of the movement, such as Ms. magazine executive Editor Katherine Spillar, and Sociologist Michael Kimmel. Jaye initially relied on her own money to fund the film, as well that from her mother and her boyfriend as she found difficulty finding backers from traditional sources after it became known that the film would take a "balanced approach" view of the men's rights movement. In what she called a "last resort" , she started a campaign on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. The Kickstarter project promised to be a fair and balanced look at the men's rights movement. Her effort was strongly criticized by some feminists including David Futrelle, who runs a website called We Hunted the Mammoth who said it looked like propaganda. However she received support from Breitbart News columnist Milo Yiannopoulos.

In a 2017 interview with Australian TV show The Project, when asked about a recent high profile murder of Luke Anderson by his father, Jaye emphasized that it was a specific Example of a male victim of domestic abuse, instead of as an Example of a male perpetrator. Jaye described the interview as "hostile and aggressive", and initially pulled out of some interviews following the incident. Later she resumed interviews but made her own recording of the discussions as she stated she had been "misquoted so much".

In an interview on the Australian TV show Weekend Sunrise, Jaye asked the show's hosts directly "Did you see the film?". The co-hosts said they had not. After receiving a wave of comments critical of the hosts and supporting Jaye, Sunrise removed the video of the interview from their Facebook page. Jaye uploaded the interview to her own page, where it was removed shortly after as a copyright violation. When asked about the removal from Facebook a spokeswoman for the Seven network which produces Sunrise declined to comment. Jaye also posted screenshots of emails to prove that Sunrise’s Producer had receive a copy of the film a month before the interview and plenty of time for the hosts to have watch it in. This was to disprove the hosts' claim that they didn’t receive a copy of the film.
