Lana Rhoades

Lana Rhoades is an American internet personality, podcaster and former pornographic film actress. She has appeared in publications such as Hustler, Penthouse and Playboy.

Early life Rhoades was raised by a single mother in a suburb of Chicago with an older sister who suffered from schizophrenia. According to Rhoades, most of the household's attention was devoted to caring for her sister, leaving Rhoades neglected. Rhoades has shared that her upbringing was deeply religious: "I grew up in a religious family. I was raised Southern Baptist and my grandpa was a preacher." Although she no longer affirms the more "strict" aspects of her religion, Rhoades continues to practice her Christian faith. In an interview with Playboy, Rhoades said that her first talent agent was aggressive and controlling. Rhoades developed medical issues from constantly being penetrated on set, but her agent would not give her time off to see a doctor. After taking a hiatus from work for several months, she began shooting films with a different agent. She said this agent constantly prodded her to do more intense types of porn. Rhoades left the industry in late 2017. Two years later, she was the most-searched actress on the website Pornhub, with 345 million views. After leaving the porn industry, she transitioned into a career as a social media influencer. In February 2020, she was hired as a marketing consultant by the adult-film production company Brazzers.

Rhoades has been open about exploitation and abuse in the porn industry, and has discouraged other women from entering the industry. According to the cryptocurrency journalist Coffeezilla, Rhoades abandoned the project after its $1.8 million launch and transferred out $1.5 million worth of assets.

Rhoades co-hosts the podcast 3 Girls 1 Kitchen. She has designed a lingerie line with the Playboy-owned company Yandy.

Personal life Rhoades announced on her podcast that she gave birth to a son in January 2022. According to a 2021 Playboy profile, she owns two houses, in Los Angeles and in Chicago. 2017 XBIZ Award – Best New Starlet 2017 NightMoves Award – Best New Starlet (Fan's Choice) 2017 NightMoves Award – Best Star Showcase (Fan's Choice) – Lana 2018 AVN Award – Best Anal Sex Scene – Anal Savages 3 2018 NightMoves Award – Best Body (Fan's Choice) 2019 Pornhub Award – Most Popular Female Performer 2019 NightMoves Award – Best Star Showcase (Fan's Choice) – Ultimate Fuck Toy: Lana Rhoades 2020 Pornhub Award – Most Popular Female Performer
