LOS ANGELES — The “little barista girl” is all grown up.
Aubree Valentine, the fast-rising star from Hurricane, Utah, has signed an exclusive girl/girl contract with Girlfriends Films.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed at press time but the versatile Valentine, aka Naughty Aubree, will be headlining a variety of upcoming features for the ambitious studio, which is ramping up production this year with several surprises in the works.
“It’s super exciting,” Valentine told AVN. “Honestly it still feels kind of surreal. I feel like I was this little barista girl and all of a sudden I’ve got my second contract now.”
Moose, the owner and president of Girlfriends Films, told AVN he decided to sign his first new contract girl in almost a decade because he saw something special in Aubree, who made her porn debut in 2019.
“It’s not often that talent comes along who is the epitome of a Girlfriends star,” Moose said. “We could tell Aubree had the type of personality we welcome to our sets, and from just a couple of her initial performances we knew we wanted to bring her into the Girlfriends family.
“We’ve had the pleasure of shooting some of the adult industry’s most amazing women over the past two decades and we think Aubree has the potential to be one of the greats. We’re really looking forward to featuring her in some exciting new projects.”
Valentine commanded attention in her first two Girlfriends Films appearances—her debut in Lesbian Seductions 72 opposite Jamie Michelle—and in the lead acting role in Lesbian Ghost Stories 5 in which she performed in two scenes, romancing Penelope Kay and Nicole Sage under the watchful eye of seasoned producer/director B. Skow.
“I love taking pictures of her—she’s so good in front of the camera,” Skow, who has been a professional photographer for more than 35 years and is in his ninth year directing for Girlfriends Films, told AVN. “She’s just one of those performers. She’s so fun to shoot. She wants to do a good job with the acting and her lesbian sex scenes are incredible.
“She loves girls. She’s so excited she is already giving me a list of names she wants to shoot with.”
He wasn’t kidding.
Valentine revealed some of the girls on her wishlist:
“Definitely Abigail Mac, she’s like my biggest crush right now,” Aubree confessed. “Paige Owens… Evelin Stone, Kira Noir… I love Jewelz Blu—I’ve already worked with her and I love working with her. And I would love to work with Joanna Angel. Oh my gosh, I fan-girled so hard when I saw her and Small Hands at the Pornhub Awards.”
A former barista at River Rock Roasting Company near her hometown, Valentine landed an exclusive contract with Mindgeek for her porn debut in 2019. That initial three-month deal was extended for another three months as Valentine continued to impress, performing for studios such as Reality Kings, Mofos, Digital Playground and Twistys, where she was named Treat of the Month this past May.
Valentine said she knew she liked girls before porn, but once she started going hardcore girls really piqued her interest.
“I like girls a lot and getting into the industry it really showcased how much I like girls,” Aubree said, adding that she discovered her dominant side on the set and that adult performing has boosted her self-confidence.
Her acting turn in Lesbian Ghost Stories 5—she plays a ghost—was “something I wouldn’t expect to play in a porno.”
“That was a lot of fun. It was very cheesy and the girls were all great. All the girls were so sweet. They were newer girls, kind of like how I was when I first started when I was super nervous. I wanted to help them,” Aubree said.
A resident of Las Vegas since 2017, the 23-year-old performer signed with OC Modeling in March after trying to self-book for a span.
“I’ve had about 10 scenes a month for the last three months. They’ve been keeping me very busy,” Aubree said. She still will be available to perform in boy/girl scenes in addition to her exclusive girl/girl work.
Humble and personable, the 2021 Fan-Voted AVN Awards nominee for Favorite Indie Clip Star said she recently got recognized by a fan for the first time at the airport.
“It’s crazy,” Valentine admitted. “It was the most bizarre thing ever. I still feel like a barista from Southern Utah. I don’t feel like a porn star.”
She added, “I definitely love the attention for sure, but the confidence I’ve gained in this journey is mind blowing. I used to be the most shy, timid person and I couldn’t stand up for myself. Now I feel like I know my boundaries and nobody’s going to fuck with me.”
