Spiegler admits when he saw Camryn in the hallway, “it was kind of emotional and we walked her up to her room.”
“We can help, but in the end the girls do the work,” he tells me.
Chanel adds, “I think what made him so emotional is that he knows that was him. He gave me that opportunity and then I did what he wanted me to do with it.
“I feel like a lot of times Spiegler gets very invested in these girls. He really does love the girls that he represents. He wants them to do well. He wouldn’t sign them if he didn’t see potential. He can be kind of hard sometimes but that’s always because he sees your potential and he wants to push you to do better and he wants you to reach that potential.
“He’s not for everyone but he’s an amazing agent if you’re willing to do the work.”
Camryn went out Friday night on the eve of the awards show, enjoying some drinks at the annual White Party.
“I sort of remember dancing with a lot of the fans. I do remember being trashed,” she jokes. In the hours before the red carpet walk, she stayed by herself, doing her own makeup
before slipping into her black wedding-style dress that was inspired by her “marrying the game.”
“I kind of did the whole day alone because I needed it,” Camryn says. “It drains my battery, the social of the expos, so it was good to just decompress before and get ready especially because I was a little bit nervous.
“I honestly didn’t really think that I was going to be the one taking home that award. I thought that I had a chance of taking home some of the other awards. So I was nervous but I had put it out of my mind, which also was a tactic to not get nervous.
“Because I have really bad anxiety so things like that really scare me. The whole time I was just telling myself, ‘You’re not going to win it anyway, you’re not going to win it anyway.’ So that I didn’t really get nervous leading up to it.
“But I kind of regret it because I wasn’t mentally prepared. Then I was like hyper-ventilating on the stage.”
Still Camryn managed to give one of the best AVN Award acceptance speeches of all time— bending over to pick up her fallen earring before she got to the microphone.
“I don’t know what to say... I just really love being a part of this industry... Thank you to every guy whose made me cum!” she said, before letting out a delightful scream.
“It was a very heartwarming reaction from the audience,” Chanel says. “It was very nice. Because I feel like sometimes it’s silent.
“Everyone’s been very nice and supportive and they’re all congratulating me. All the girls that were nominated with me were congratulating me.”
Indeed, anyone who’s spent any extended time with Camryn on or off the set would be hard- pressed not to root for her. Just ask AVN Hall of Fame director Mike Quasar, who photographed her AVN cover and layout.
“There are a handful of performers in this business that I would take a bullet for and Chanel is definitely one of them,” Quasar says. “In my opinion, no one works harder than she does. Her work ethic and enthusiasm are off the charts.
“Whether it’s on one of my sets or for her platforms, it’s always something I make time for and look forward to. At this point I’m pretty much a bitter old man but it’s impossible not to be in a good mood when you’re working with her. I absolutely adore her and I’m so happy for all of her much-deserved success.”
