When she decided to come out of the closet she is said to have had to tell her parents of her life as a prostitute. At a guess I would say they would already have been suspicious due to her life style because of the earnings from her books and royalties. I wonder if this factor is more the reason for her coming clean, so to speak. Or maybe it’s because she can make more money as an author and from chat time television than being a doctor.
We must remember that when women sell their bodies they must have a particular mind set, many women find they have no other option as to survive. Most would not want to do it because it made more money than a computing job. The type of mindset is one of someone that wanted money to improve an already okay kind of life style. A woman that not just liked sex but what she could achieve by it.
Looking at the media attraction it would seem there has been a press release from Brooke or an agent. I suspect she will lose her job at Bristol or that the project she has been working on has nearly expired its funding. That this coming out in the open is a new career move into full time writing and exploiting the television chat shows. In UK and the USA she of course will make her fortune.
Belle de Jour is about to exploit those that want to exploit her. But will her parents ever forgive her seemingly she thought they would. If I was her father I would forgive her but try to stop her exploiting the un-savory and the shame brought on the family as a whole.
She will of course not be fully forgiven and in fact making her self a black sheep that none of her family will want to be associated with. Is money and fame worth such to a woman that loves her parents and family? How will this end.
A former prostitute whose memoirs were turned into the TV series Secret Diary of a Call Girl, starring Billie Piper, has revealed her true identity.
Dr Brooke Magnanti wrote under the pen name Belle de Jour to describe the encounters she had as a high-class call girl while earning money for her PhD.
The 34-year-old said she decided to unmask herself because the stress of the deceit was making her paranoid.
To add balance her blog..
Looking back over my diaries is sometimes embarrassing, sometimes hilarious (often unintentionally so). After a page or two I'm right back there – living in London, keeping up a double life, with all the effort that entails...
Which is just too difficult to do long-term. I suppose I always thought that the part of my life I wrote about would fade away, that I could stick it in a box and move on. Totally separate it from the ‘real me’.

I hate to see any women that need to use prostitution to survive, I certainly find it hard to understand one that takes to prostitution because its more profitable than a good job.

She told her co-workers before it was announced to the media and she said they were all very supportive of her and her past, she won't lose her job. It's in the source you used:
