Emily Willis

Emily Willis (born 1999) is an American and Argentine former pornographic film actress. She was Penthouse Pet of the Month in May 2019 and won multiple AVN Awards in 2021.

Adult film career Willis began her adult film career in 2017 after meeting an actor through a dating app who was affiliated with the company GirlsDoPorn. The company was later shut down after several of the owners and employees were found liable for fraud amid an FBI investigation of sex trafficking. The investigation found that the company had published fake ads soliciting young women for modeling work; the women were then pressured to perform in a pornographic scene ostensibly to be sold to private buyers, and promised between and , which was never paid. Willis later told XBIZ, "I knew from the start that I was being lied to about the scenes" and "It just didn't matter to me, I wanted to do porn regardless." She would go on to star in over 700 films.

Willis moved to Las Vegas in early 2018, later moving to Los Angeles. She was named Penthouse Pet of the Month in May 2019. In May 2020, she starred in her first double penetration scene for The Insatiable Emily Willis, produced by Jules Jordan.

Hollywood Reporter described Willis as having become, by 2021, "among the most prominent adult performers in the world". Jacob Oller wrote in Paste that "an extended sex scene with porn star Emily Willis is exhaustingly dull". Nadir Samara wrote in Screen Rant that performances by Willis, along with those of other actors, gave the film "the tone that sets it apart from anything else you will see this year". In an interview with XBIZ in 2023 about Divinity, Willis expressed a desire to star in more mainstream acting roles.

In 2023, Willis appeared in the music video for the Grammy-nominated single "Hive Mind" by American heavy metal band Slipknot.
