Career in porn

In 2019, she was the most searched actress on Pornhub, collecting 345 million views.

Following her stint in porn, Lana Rhoades advises women not to enter the adult film industry because according to her, there is a lot of exploitation and abuse.

In 2020, Lana Rhoades was hired by Brazzers as a marketing consultant.
