“This was a very a personal
experience…”
Gianna takes what she wants, when she wants in Psychosexual, pushing her limits in four
of the five sex scenes and reminding fans why she won the 2020 AVN Awards for Best New
Starlet and Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene.
“I’ve been told by people in my personal life that I should write a book about my life or
create something because I attract chaos, I guess—my whole life has been crazy story after
crazy story,” Dior admits.
“This was a very a personal experience and it’s definitely totally different than any other
thing I’ve done in porn. This one is a sentimental favorite.”
Dior says she and Kross began outlining the plot during quarantine and then “at some
point I went to her house and just told her my entire my life story.”
“And she just started to create this like the genius mastermind she is,” Dior says, reveal-
ing that the reigning three-time AVN Director of the Year gave her a homework assign-
ment during the development stage. “She wanted me to put together a mood board of my
favorite quotes—like a Pinterest board type of thing.
“So I sent her my favorite Bukowski book and we got a lot of quotes out of that. I’m also
a big Hemingway fan, so I have some Ernest Hemingway in there, just things that are very
personal to me and things I really like.”
In one of the movie’s most explosive sequences, Dior had to go into full mental break-
down mode.
“It actually was not challenging at all,” she says. “That was my favorite part of the entire
movie. Kayden actually put me in a room by myself and told me, ‘Whatever you need to do
to get yourself to that point where you’re so upset…”
Perhaps what Dior is most proud of with Psychosexual is “just letting myself be vulnerable.”
“It was definitely a very emotionally difficult project to do,” she says.
