LOS ANGELES—iWantEmpire has signed adult star Tasha Reign to an exclusive contract for publicity and marketing of her hardcore clips. The former Penthouse Pet and current ChairPerson for the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC) is the second adult performer to sign with the growing company.
“We are extremely pleased to have Tasha join our team through this exclusive agreement and can’t wait to see the content Tasha wants to make,” said iWantEmpire Vice President Jay Phillips. “Tasha is an accomplished performer who has made a major impact through her writings and media appearances in support of women’s rights to explore their sexuality in a positive way.”
Under the agreement, Reign will receive guaranteed production dates, marketing and publicity support as well as revenue from her iWantEmpire stores along with a subsidy for all talent testing fees at Talent Testing Service. In exchange, iWantEmpire will be home to Tasha’s exclusive clip store, but she will remain available to shoot with traditional adult production studios.
“I am very excited to join iWantEmpire and to open my clip store," Reign said. “Jay and Nikki have clearly built iWantEmpire for performers, and take this very seriously. They have been paying attention to what has been missing in the industry and have worked tirelessly to fill the void. From their contributions to APAC, Talent Testing partnership, payouts and model support, their plan is challenging the current status quo, and stands with everything I have always believed in. It is an honor to be a part of the IWantEmpire team. I am excited about my future!”
A UCLA graduate and outspoken supporter of women’s rights and sexual freedom, Tasha Reign is among the most recognized figures in the adult industry. Having first appeared in Playboy in 2010, in its “Girls of the Pac-10” pictorial, she went on to appear in Penthouse magazine as the coveted May 2011 Penthouse Pet of the month, then on to a number of popular adult films.
“Tasha is a beautiful, strong, educated woman who breaks stereotypes everywhere she goes,” said Sandra McCarthy, co-owner of OC Modeling, who represents Reign. “The partnership between Tasha and iWantEmpire is a win-win for both sides as it combines Tasha’s major sex appeal and popularity with iWantEmpire’s platform for entrepreneurs.”
