WHO’S WHO
INTERVIEW WITH A ‘VILLAIN’
Katrina Jade opens up
confidence in myself I could’ve blossomed a lot
faster.
“I feel like I learned a lot more about my sexuality
now because a lot of the things that I thought about
myself—‘I like this and I don’t like this’—I’m just
totally not that person anymore.”
Last year was her most active so far: 70-plus titles
from such blue-chip studios as Wicked Pictures, New
Sensations, Jules Jordan Video, BSkow and Brazzers.
The experience that comes from throwing down
with the pros has sharpened her raw sexual talent.
“Because people in porn are more in tune with
their bodies. They’re more self aware and they’re all
about chemistry,” Jade reasons. “And [before porn] I
didn’t really know much about anything. I just liked
to have sex with people.
“But now it’s like when you have sex with people
that are way more in tune with their body you’re able
to be more in tune with yourself. Because nobody

that Jade considers one of her finest performances.
“That was one of the best days of my life,” Jade says.
“The [Sins Life] orgy was one of the best days, too.
“I’m in love with her. ... I’m a totally gay lesbian for
her. And we are also like really intense as humans.”
Jade says her chemistry with Kissa and Johnny is
special.
“Johnny’s like ‘I’m happy to be here,’ and you
can just like ignore him and he doesn’t care,” Jade
explains. “So you don’t have to tend to him the whole
time. And then me and her are just slapping each
other and choking each other and screaming and then
laughing. And then moaning and then laughing and
crying all at the same time.”

BADASS.’ I COME IN AND DESTROY

She adds, “In civilian life it’s so much harder to
find people to have sex with. Even people that you
want to have sex with and they’re down, they’re not
like confident. Or they’re not open. So it’s not nearly
KATRINA JADE ADMITS she used to feel pressure to show
that she belonged in the same conversation with the
top performers in adult entertainment.
“I feel like last year I had a lot to prove given the
tattoos on my face,” Jade says. “Nobody gave me a real
chance. They’d be like, ‘no, you need to wear pink. You
need to do this…’ That’s how it goes with new girls,
you have to prove yourself constantly.
“I think once I hit that year mark I started to just
slowly be able to show up and be myself. Now they’re

“When you’re having sex on a daily basis for hours
and hours at a time every single day I feel like I just
learned a lot faster.”
Notorious for her unpredictable, outrageously
naughty posts on social media, Jade brought a fan
following with her to porn thanks to her popularity
on Tumblr.
The original Tumblr page got hacked and deleted,
but fans can catch her hijinks now on Twitter:

Speaking of electric pairings, Jade notes that some
of her best work comes when she squares off with
Prince Yahshua.
“Everything with Prince is amazing,” she says.
Looking ahead, Jade says there is anal sex in her
future and that “I feel like it’s my time. I have to do
things now.”
“I want to start doing anal but a lot of companies
still won’t shoot me and they’re slowly letting me
in,” she continues. “Like Girlsway shot me—it took
me the longest time to get in there. So they made me
a villain—that’s just my persona. That’s why we put
‘KJ Villains’ on everything because I’m always like
the villain in any role. I always come in and ruin the
marriage or something because I’m like ‘the badass.’ I
come in and destroy things at some point.”
Porn’s favorite badass is soon getting her own
showcase movie thanks to being crowned the
winner of the second annual Adult Empire “Empire
Girl” contest, emerging from a formidable field of
finalists in August. Jade received $6,000 and a four-
scene showcase contract with AE Films for winning
the fan-driven competition, which generated more
than 49,000 votes.
Jade says Adult Empire would like to see her online
persona come through in the feature, which will
include some of her signature antics such as public
nudity.
“So I get a showcase finally and but then I can be
myself. I’m not getting a showcase and it’s whatever
they decide for the scenes. I feel like I’m a kid in a
candy store.”
