Jones previously revealed how she had been paid around $4,700 for her part in the film, which she believed to be a documentary.

“I’m thinking she’s really from a third-world [country] and that’s how they treat women and young girls,” she said.
“I [suggested they] take her to a school and let her observe girls in a classroom who can read and write just like boys,” she continued. “I was thinking it was real, so my thought was, they were going to take her to see different things and make it so she could be able to stay in the United States. Evidently, that’s not what happened.”

Jones, who had no idea that the pair were acting, claimed she “spent weeks” worrying that Tutar was in real danger.
She added, “I’m glad to know she’s not really in that situation. I hate to hear of anyone in that situation.”
