Jessica Drake

Updated: July 3, 2022

You probably recognize Jessica Drake as one of the women who alleged former President Donald Trump made unwanted sexual advances. 

Or if you are like me, you recognize the name from adult films.

Texas native Jessica Drake was born on October 14, 1974. She worked as an exotic dancer in El Paso while attending college. 

In 1999, Jessica entered the adult film industry acting in her first film, Modern Love. She then did North Pole #9 which featured her on the box cover. 

A few years later, she received her first AVN Award winning "Best Tease Performance" for her role in Shayla's Web.

In 2004, she gained headlines with her comments during an HIV outbreak in the porn industry, "working without condoms in the industry is less dangerous than going home with someone who you just met randomly in a bar." 

I remember her comments and the way I interpreted it was that she was implying it's more riskier to hookup with a random person and not wear a condom than it is to perform in a sex scene with someone who is not so random.

Not only is Jessica Drake an actress, but she is also a director, writer, producer, sex educator, and a online business owner. She is also a philanthropist. 

In 2016, represented by feminist civil rights Gloria Allred, Jessica Drake became the 11th woman to accuse Donald Trump of sexual misconduct. It was seventeen days before the 2016 presidential election. She explained that she met Trump at the Wicked Pictures booth during the American Century Celebrity Gold Tournament in Lake Tahoe in 2006. Trump denied knowledge of Jessica. 

Jessica Drake isn't shy to share her opinions. In 2017, she criticized August Ames' tweet regarding concerns of crossover performers in porn. Unfortunately, Drake's tweet started a movement that eventually led to Ames' suicide.
