“I really didn’t think because I’m so new and because we’re against the biggest
stars that it would be me, so that’s awesome. I just was so surprised.”
A native of Tri-Cities, Wash., Windell said she’s been doing sex work for nine years
and made the move into porn in April 2023.
“I went through a really tough time and had a suicide attempt about six months
ago but an organization, Pineapple Support, reached out and helped me get back
to a healthy mindset and I’ve been the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life,” Windell
said.
“So just being able to have a second chance at life and feeling like the universe
and God is just rewarding me for being here, I’m just really grateful. It’s absolutely
amazing.”
Brazzers contract star Ryan Reid took the stage to accept the Best Blowbang
Scene award for her first blowbang—with Victor Ray, Sly Diggler, Scotty P, Nick
Strokes & Hollywood Cash—that was titled “Blowbang in the Cage!”.
Backstage, the excitable Pittsburgh native told AVN she performed that scene for
ZZ not long after a break-up.
“I remember that a stupid boy broke my heart and then they said, ‘Hey, can you
suck five dudes off?’ And I was like, ‘I’m actually really sad right now but yeah, let’s
do it,’” Ryan said. “And then I walked out that day not giving a fuck about that dude
and my heart was full again. That’s the greatest thing I remember from that scene.”
She said the secret to a good blowbang is “having a good crew and having
amazing male talent and just going in knowing—just be a hole.”
“Be a throat, just be a whore, and have fun,” Reid added.
Speaking of Brazzers exclusives, Cherie DeVille, wearing a striking black-and-
gold, Valkyrie-inspired sheer dress, captured her record fifth MILF Performer of the
Year award. The former professional swing dancer and physical therapist also won
in 2023, 2021, 2019 and 2018.
“Oh my god, I was just having a full conversation with Anikka Albrite because I did
not think I was going to win this,” DeVille said on stage. “Thank you everybody who
has fucked me. You guys are the real winners, I’m just an old lady lucky to not break
her hip while I was going up on stage.
“I love you, thank you OC Modeling, thank you Brian Scott Gross, my pr agent.
You are the real fucking heroes.”
When DeVille went behind the curtain she jumped into an embrace with AVN
backstage interviewer and fellow star, Kenna James.
“I’m kind of low-key obsessed with Kenna,” DeVille admitted, adding that she didn’t
know how many MILF awards she’d won. “It’s a few, I should’ve kept track, but it’s
such an honor.
“I feel like the MILF category is packed with superstars that do like the best work—
the most unbelievable work—and I have so much respect for all of those ladies.”
Emma Starseed, a native Texan who first went live on MyFreeCams in January
2018, won the hotly contested Fan-Voted AVN Award for Favorite Cam Girl.
The former music PR executive—a two-time winner of the Miss MFC contest and
the September 2023 AVN CAMStar—presides over one of the most creative cam
rooms on the internet with her annual “Camp Emma.”
