i reckon you'd need to see a lot more than just that clip to gain any idea of those people and their situation.

for instance, there are many cases where a young person becomes a successful entertainer and their parents/family push them against their own interests. that didn't seem to be the case there, the parents are involved a lot, sure, but there are no signals that they are exploiting their daughter for their own gain.

with regards the girl herself choosing to do porn, there are a *lot* of women whose life becomes a lot worse because of that choice. very often that would be because the industry takes advantage of them (again, as many entertainment industries do). there's no sign of that here either though, as she's in charge of her career and doesn't seem to be getting pulled into things she doesn't really want to do.

on the 'moral' level, that's perhaps the most difficult. one thing you could do is to compare what the parents are doing to what many other parents would do, i.e. disown their daughter, judge/abuse her for what she's doing etc. In the short run at least, assuming she would have made the decision to do porn no matter what, their response is better in that it means they maintain a relationship with their daughter and she doesn't become alienated/alone because of her decision.
