LAS VEGAS—Abella Danger is passionate about many things, but especially sex and college football. Her love of sports recently had the Brazzers contract star going viral after she was caught on-camera by ESPN in an emotional moment, following the University of Miami Hurricanes' 27-21 loss to the Indiana Hoosiers in the 2026 College Football Playoff National Championship game on Monday, January 18.
The social media reaction was swift and widespread as Danger, a senior at UM, was quickly recognized as a popular adult star. In The Hollywood Reporter, a statement from Danger said, “I would give anything in the world to not have ESPN film me, and I am so deeply sorry to anyone I offended with my attendance at the game.”
Days later, gossip blogs were speculating that Danger was dating Hurricane’s quarterback Carson Beck. In the midst of the AVN Expo in Las Vegas, Danger was asked about her take on Hoosiers QB and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to be the Number One pick in the upcoming NFL draft, by the Las Vegas Raiders.
“He's so quick and powerful, and so intentional with everything he does. The Raiders will be so lucky to have him,” Danger told Vegas Sports Today, from the Brazzers booth on Saturday.
Danger addressed the entire controversy on Jan. 22 in a one-on-one interview with AVN Managing Editor Peter Warren, for an audience of expo attendees at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
“Okay, so, I mean, honestly, I've been at games all season. Obviously, you know that I go to the University of Miami, so I don't understand why it was such a big deal that I was on camera. Because I had come out on-camera at other days.
“But I mean, the day after the game, I woke up and the internet was like going insane. And it was so overwhelming. It was like an episode of ‘Black Mirror.’ I was like, what the fuck is going on?—And I'm dying for this to not even be a topic of conversation because I don't even get it,” Danger explained.
Beyond the viral headlines, the interview covered Danger’s career since winning AVN Best New Starlet in 2016. In fact, Danger credited Warren for being the person who took the then-aspiring model to meet super-agent Mark Spiegler—and the rest is hardcore history. “My first friend in L.A. Thank you so much for having me here,” she said.
“So, it's crazy because Peter Warren actually took me to meet Mark Spiegler for the first time at his house and I'll never forget it. I was wearing a blue shirt and little mermaid leggings. And I had just finished interviewing at the AVN office for “Fresh Off the Bus” or “Fresh Faces.”
“I was so nerve-wracked about meeting Spiegler. It was so insane, because I had wanted to be a Spiegler Girl for so long and my friend Peter Warren literally made that happen for me. I told you how badly I wanted to meet him and you were like, ‘I'll just take you to his house,' the star recalled.
Spiegler, who has represented many top adult actresses since opening his agency in 2003, is also known for encouraging his clients to use their careers to fund a university degree or some other way to maximize their careers, like Danger.
“I would always say, I'm going to go back to school, I'm going to go back,” she explained. “The pandemic happened and a bunch of shit happened, and I was just like, ‘fuck it—like, I'm just going to go back to school.’
“And it was actually the hardest thing ever. Like, I had forgotten like how to learn and how to study. And I got really bad grades. It did not get any easier at this point. It was really difficult. I was very ashamed, too,” she confessed.
“I was 24 and I wouldn't even tell kids my age. I literally would not say it. I walk around and walk around… I was very ashamed because everyone was so young. It was really hard but now it's a piece of paper. it's a much more comfortable experience and I’m double majoring and my majors are classical studies and philosophy.”
After earning her bachelor’s degree, she told the audience that the next step will be law school. “I see myself doing a myriad of things. Like, I definitely want to do internships. I have an essential internship coming up with a prosecutor, actually,” Danger revealed.
“I would definitely be a sports agent,” the sports fan added. “I would like to work for an organization such as an NBA team and negotiate the deals on behalf of the organization.”
Danger doesn’t lack for accolades as an adult influencer. With 9.5 million followers on Instagram, the semi-retired Brazzers Ambassador has a signature Fleshlight stroker and her whiskey brand Amabo.
She has now won the fan-voted AVN Award for Most Amazing Ass eight times. She’s done a photoshoot with Carmen Electra and been directed in an adult video by Disney-Girl-Gone-Wild Bella Thorne. Danger revealed she also had a role in a 2023 movie produced by Martin Scorcese, titled Pet Shop Days, directed by Olmo Schnaubel.
“I had no idea,” Warren said.
Danger also recalled for Warren what it was like to win the 2016 AVN Award for Best Starlet. She shouted out fellow performer Luna Star who had to lend her a dress that year for the awards show, when her original dress didn’t fit.
“I mean I had never wanted anything more than I had wanted that. I worked so hard, but I wanted it so badly and felt that my work was deserving of someone, such as a Best New Starlet,” Danger described.
“I genuinely didn't do things for their instrumental value, but rather I did it for their intrinsic value and I genuinely enjoyed every single day that I went into work and literally had the most incredible sex that entire year.”
With a decade-plus in adult under her belt, Warren asked Danger if she had made note of any new starlets who have attracted her attention with their performances?
“So, if I had to say one, I would say um, Blake Blossom. I watched a lot of her scenes and she's really insatiable. For sure,” Danger said.
