Gina Rodriguez (born November 15, 1967) is an American former pornographic actress known for her work with "D-Listers" such as Nadya Suleman and Michael Lohan.[1] In 2017 she starred in and executive produced the WEtv docu-series Mama June: From Not to Hot.[2][3]
From 2011 to 2017, Rodriguez managed Stormy Daniels, and cooperated with FBI and was heavily involved in the deal with Keith Davidson regarding President Donald Trump.[4][5][6][7] In 2018, she was a subject of the book, Full Disclosure, written by Stormy Daniels and published by St. Martin's Publishing Group.[8] In 2020, she was a subject of the book, The Fixers: The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President, written by reporters Joe Palazzolo and Michael Rothfeld and published by Random House.[9]
Career
[edit]As an adult film performer, Rodriguez appeared over 50 adult films under the name Demi Delia. Rodriguez appeared on Baywatch in 1992 and Robbery Homicide Division in 2002.[10] Rodriguez established her publicity business in 2009 after leaving porn business and having divorced for the third time.[11] Starting in June 2009, along with her two children, she starred in the family's short-lived, web-based reality show, Mommy XXX[12] on Crackle.[13][14]
Rodriguez created her own management company, DD Entertainment (later known as GR Media), which represented women who notoriously claimed to be mistresses of various celebrities.[15] In 2012, she launched DialAStar.com a phone service which allowed fans to phone celebrities.[16] As Nadya Suleman's manager, she produced and marketed the pornographic film Octomom Home Alone.[17]
In 2017, she co-founded GiToni Productions, and executive produced her first reality TV show, "Mama June: From Not to Hot" on WE tv, on which she also starred.[18][19]
In 2020 she executive produced "Happily Ever Altered" which premiered July 22, 2020, on Lifetime TV.[20]
Personal life
[edit]Gina was born Gina Marie Delia, daughter of infamous Mexican mafia head Michael "Micky" Anthony Delia and became estranged from her family at a young age.[9][21]
In April 2024, archived text messages between Rodriguez and Stormy Daniels' lawyer Keith Davidson in October 2016 which were shown during Donald Trump's New York criminal trial revealed how Rodriguez was among those who encouraged Davidson to reach out to Michael Cohen concerning what would become a $130,000 payment to Daniels for her silence about an affair Daniels had with Donald Trump.[22] While Rodriguez, who appeared supportive in texts, was not shown to have had a direct negotiating role, she would, along with Daniels and Davidson, also receive part of the settlement payment.[22]
