Hailing from Chicago, Rhoades stormed into the adult film industry in 2016, catapulting to fame fast and appearing in publications such as Hustler, Penthouse, and Playboy.
Despite being the most searched actress on one of the most explicit websites, Rhoades decided to leave the industry, revealing that it took a toll on her mental health.
Now the 28-year-old is attempting to shine a light on the realities of working in the p*rn industry.

In an interview on Harry Jowsey's 'Tap In' podcast in 2021, Rhoades revealed that she wishes she could wipe all of her old videos off the internet.
"A lot of the videos I have no rights under, otherwise I probably would have deleted them all by now," she told the interviewer at the time.
Speaking about her regrets, she added: "I do. I honestly tell people, if I could go back, I would give up everything to have my dignity and respect back, and for people not to be able to see me in that way."
Watch Rhoades speak about this below: (from the 20:30 mark)This is not the first time Rhoades has candidly opened up about the highs and lows of her former career.
During the conversation on the Three Girls One Kitchen podcast - which she co-hosts with Alexa Adams and Olivia Davis - the internet personality said she still struggles with the psychological impacts of her former career.
"One of the worst... honestly, I feel like I'm in denial sometimes and I can't accept some of the things that I've done,” she said.
Rhoades recounted one harrowing scene that haunts her to this day, sharing: "There was one thing that, ya know, I tried talking to a therapist about before something that I had to do for a scene that was really rough for me.”
"Basically, this guy had a bowl and he, like, gagged me until I threw up into it and he, like, p***ed in the bowl, and during the scene he asked me to drink it, and I didn't know how to say no,” she shockingly said. "It was one of the most disgusting, foul scenes."
Rhoades’ exit from the adult entertainment industry wasn’t just an escape from torment, it was also a ticket to wealth.
Speaking to Dave Portnoy, Josh Richards & Bri Chickenfry on their YouTube channel, she disclosed that she is now a multi-millionaire.
"The industry I did not get paid s***...I probably had $100,000 in my bank account when I quit shooting p*rn and now I'm a multi-millionaire," she disclosed.
