Jessa Rhodes is a dynamic figure in the adult entertainment industry. The Oregon native quickly rose to prominence, transitioning from an amateur webcam performer to a leading actress for Hustler in just a few years. Known for her captivating performances and striking presence, Rhodes has made a significant impact on the industry.
Early Days and Career Beginnings
Jessa Rhodes' journey into adult entertainment began unexpectedly. While working as a dancer in Oregon, she was approached by an agent from Miami after a webcam session. With nothing to lose, she decided to take the opportunity and flew to Los Angeles, marking the start of her professional career.
In over 150 titles, Rhodes has become known for her energetic performances. She received the 2015 XBIZ Best Supporting Actress award for her role in Jacky St. James's "Second Chances."
Relationship with Hustler
Rhodes has a strong relationship with Hustler, having been featured on their cover in December 2013. She has also starred in their films and participated in the grand opening of their Hollywood and Vine store. Rhodes admires Larry Flynt and acknowledges his contributions to the industry.
“Hustler has been really really really good to me and it’s cool to be a part of that because Larry is always someone that I’ve idolized and you know without Larry Flynt standing up to the Supreme Court and doing what he did, we wouldn’t be able to do anything that we do now.”

Rhodes has worked with various companies and individuals in the industry. She collaborated with Mason of Profane Clothing, whose t-shirts support charities chosen by the featured performers. Additionally, Rhodes is planning to launch her own clothing line, focusing on hipster and elegant styles.

The concept involves a series of increasingly darker scenes, tying into her future showcases. She also expressed a desire to bring a high-fashion aesthetic to adult films.
“Going back to the Jacky project, I’m really one of those people that likes to take things into my own hands and kind of run with things. You know, obviously take criticism and direction from people, but I’m really really wanting to work and focus on my own projects, one of those things actually being the way I shoot - I want it to be different.”

While she has considered pursuing an advanced degree, possibly in veterinary medicine with a focus on breeding tigers in Asia, she acknowledges that it requires significant time and resources and is more likely a future retirement project.

Philanthropy
Rhodes encourages fans to donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, emphasizing the importance of using one's influence to help others. She believes that people often forget that adult performers are also human beings with hearts and lives beyond their work.
“That a big part of being an “adult star” or whatever the fuck you want to call it, is that a lot of people forget that just because we do sex we’re still humans with a heart and we still have dogs to come home to and friends and family and we’re not just these sexual objects that are one-dimensional.”
2016 and Beyond
Jessa Rhodes is determined to take over and is very focused, stating that she has tunnel vision and is staying very focused and healthy and is excited about life.
