NFL Tickets
By now, we all know who Lisa Ann is. The retired adult film star who enjoys spending time with athletes has made the headlines a few times over the last year or so, specifically when she went out on a date with a 19-year-old Notre Dame football player. She’s also had some spats with Michael Del Zotto, who currently plays for the Philadelphia Flyers.
This weekend, during all of the NBA All-Star festivities, Lisa Ann took in some of the action and gave GQ’s Myles Brown an interview discussing many things — mostly her relationships with athletes and the dynamics at play.
Here are some of the highlights of the interview:
GQ: When did your love for sports turn into a love of athletes?
Lisa Ann: My personal relationship with athletes started very young. In the early nineties, athletes could come into strip clubs. I watched everything change when Mike Tyson went to jail. When that happened, everything went underground. I think that was the beginning of agents and PR guys reaching out to girls for their clients and making these incredibly private interactions where some girls would sign a waiver each time to make sure they can’t sue or mention any of it.
Those are very common these days.
It’s never happened to me, because I live in a different world. But I’m one of a very few. At any given time, I’m probably talking to a hundred of today’s athletes by text, DM or email. Out of that hundred, I may only meet 25. But I stay engaged because I’m a fan. The coolest thing about being Lisa Ann is when I follow an athlete on Twitter, he follows me back and DMs me his number because he cannot be seen following me. Years ago, Kevin Durant was following me and I didn’t even know it. As soon as it got blown up, he unfollowed me.
So when I engage, I try to be a voice of reason. First of all, I let them know who I am. I’m not a prostitute. I’m never gonna ask you for money. I do like to go to games, so if you leave me tickets at will call, I’m there. I stay involved with their careers. If they’re injured, I hit them and make sure they’re staying positive. It’s important because they’re lonely on the road.
Some guys will come to me and say, “Hey, this girl reached out to me. What can you tell me about her?” Then I can say whether she’s trustworthy. I tell them what to be prepared for. Lock your wallet, watches or anything valuable in the safe before they invite a girl up. I ask them to take her phone as soon as she gets into the room and put it in the safe as well. Have a serious conversation with her. Be honest.
Are you more comfortable with athletes or everyday guys?
My safety with athletes is I know they’re not gonna beat me or stalk me. I’ve never had an athlete be inappropriate with me. They have more to lose than I do. Because I’m always dealing with the upper echelon. I’m not a gold digger though. I’ve made my own money and I know when I meet someone I can say, “Here’s what I’m bringing to the table.” Now we have a mutually beneficial relationship where no one feels slighted.
I feel like if dudes could be with Victoria’s Secret models, that’s how I look at athletes. I’m 42. I’m looking at 18, 19, 20 year old guys. They’re little specimens. Their bodies are beautiful. They’re at the beginning of their lives, so they’re still excited, naive and simple. They’re not negative yet. There’s no ego yet. They’re not jaded. They’re fun.
