“They really could’ve chosen any of the hundreds of girls and they chose me.”
AVN Media Network is pleased to announce that adult superstars Abella Danger and Reya Sunshine will co-host the 2023 AVN Awards Show, presented by MyFreeCams, on January 7 in Las Vegas.
Abella and Reya will be the mistresses of ceremonies at an all-new venue for the historic 40th edition of the AVN Awards.
In continuing the adult industry’s most iconic tradition, the AVN Awards Show will recognize outstanding achievements in areas of content production, retail and pleasure product innovations in the past year during the red-carpet event that will be streamed live for fans of adult entertainment around the world.
“We think Abella Danger and Reya Sunshine represent the best of the best in the adult industry today and we couldn’t be more excited to have them usher in the next era of the AVN Awards Show in Las Vegas,” said Tony Rios, CEO of AVN Media Network.
“Abella and Reya exemplify all the traits that make icons in our business. They’ve become shining examples of what’s possible when talent meets opportunity.”
For the Brazzers contract girl, Danger, the occasion will mark a homecoming of sorts as the excitable native of Miami won adult’s highest honor for a new female performer in January 2016, when she was crowned AVN Best New Starlet.
Abella’s meteoric rise started in 2014, when she became a sought-after newcomer whose first 18 months in adult were as good as anyone’s in two decades.
Today she is widely regarded as one of the most recognizable and influential stars in industry history with millions of followers on social media and billions of video views across the top streaming platforms in adult.
“It means the world to me to finally have the opportunity to be the AVN Awards Show host,” Abella said. “I have wanted to be the host for as long as I can remember and I’m so honored that I get to do the first in-person awards show in three years.
“They really could’ve chosen any of the hundreds of girls and they chose me. So I’m really excited and I’m going to give 100 percent to make this one of the best shows ever.”
Reya Sunshine knows all about about rapid rises herself. The native of Northern California burst onto the adult scene in January 2016, lighting up MyFreeCams with her upbeat shows in Reya’s Room and creating a versatile brand for herself in the process.
Now six-and-a-half years later, the talented pole dancer has become one of the biggest draws in the country on the feature dance circuit, graced the cover of the April 2021 issue of AVN CAMStar and become an established independent content creator and adult performer.
She said receiving the call about the 2023 AVN’s was something she’ll never forget.
