On Friday evening while attending the Ken Marcus party at the Key Club, Anna Mills suffered facial and scalp contusions, lacerations that cover her body, blurred vision, a stiff neck, and a possible shoulder injury in an unprovoked attack by five unknown assailants.
A contusion is an injury that results in a bruise seen under the skin, and contusions in the head area are considered extremely dangerous and may result in brain damage, though CT scans indicate this is not the case for Mills.
The attack began while Mills was posing for some foot fetish photos for Taboo in the VIP area of the Key Club, where Marcus was exhibiting some of his work. "It wasn't even really provocative. I just took my shoes off that's all," a traumatized Mills told AVN.com.
"All of a sudden these girls started hitting me on the back of my head. I didn't really know what they were doing and I asked them why they were doing it and then they just went for me," said Mills. "One girl grabbed my neck and the other girl hit me - then a guy hit me. I don't really remember the rest except for bottles hitting me on the head and glass breaking all around me. Beer bottles and glasses shattering and a friend trying to pull me out. That's all I remember really."
"They were pulling my hat off, undoing my ribbons on my vest, flicking my breasts. I tried to get away, but I couldn't because it was so crowded," Mills said.
"A guy I don't even know jumped in there and he was just as beat up as me. Mr. Mylan, a friend of mine who does makeup, had his shirt ripped off of him and was hit in the kidneys. He peed blood for two days. My friend Jewell Marceau had to go to the emergency room for her feet being cut because she was trying to get in there but there was glass all over," Mills recollected.
The incident went of for approximately five minutes. Security guards for the club were busy taking care of someone who had overdosed on Oxycotin just moments before.
Mylan, the friend who suffered a kidney injury during the attack, had been aiding the drug overdose victim. When security arrived to aid the drug victim, Mylan turned to "see the hat that Anna Mills was wearing on the ground. I get over there, it's about ten feet away. All I could focus on was getting her away."
Mylan said that the attackers consisted of three males and two females - all of whom appeared to be Hispanic. Two of the males were preventing the attack from being broken up. Mylan states that the attackers had no wristbands, indicating that they were crashing the event.
Seconds after Mylan arrived, the attack was broken up. Cherry Rain pulled Mills from the ground, and with Mylan hustled her away from the attackers.
"When we were going up the stairs, they tried to start some more commotion, the girls did. I was trying to keep anyone from getting to her. There was a lot of hostilities from the bouncers and the club people, as if we had instigated this," said Mylan.
Security at the Key Club did not detain the assailants, nor call the police. "I saw them pushing the girls out of there, and I asked them why they didn't detain them, but they just acted like I was being 'hostile'," said Mills.
Mylan then took Mills to the emergency room at Cedars-Sinai, where Mills was given a series of tests, including a CAT scan before being released. The police were called, but never showed up. "We waited at the hospital for three hours and they never came," attested Mills.
"I didn't want anyone to get mad at me. I didn't do anything. Why would any one want to attack me? I'm not mean."
Mills, who just recently started doing boy/girls scenes after a two-year career in fetish videos, had to cancel at least ten shoots that she had booked for the next two weeks.
"I was really just starting to book stuff up. This month was really rolling because I had just started doing boy/girl. This was really bad timing," said Mills.
Mills reports that she has received an incredible amount of support from her friends and peers in the adult industry. "Everybody's been wonderful. It's really nice to see the industry pull together like this because people really have been helpful. A lot of people think the industry is just negative, but we really do try to take care of each - and I've been getting calls from people all day," she said.
"I'm still very confused. Why would someone do this to me? I still have residual effects from the head injury. A lot of the pain is just setting in and I'm probably going to have go to rehab," Mills admitted.
