Chicago – Ria Bentley achieved a career milestone at the annual Trans Erotica Awards (TEA), held recently at the historic Avalon Theatre in West Hollywood. Surrounded by industry peers, Bentley was named Clips4Sale Trans Creator of the Year, a prestigious honor that recognizes excellence in content creation.
The evening began with a glamorous red carpet, where Bentley stunned in a striking black dress that caught the attention of industry photographers. The awards show featured a variety of categories, and Bentley knew she was nominated for Best Self Producer and Miss Unique. While she didn’t take home awards in those categories, Bentley was enjoying the evening when an unexpected moment changed everything.
“I was talking to a friend at the table when they suddenly exclaimed, ‘Ria, you just won!’” Bentley shared. “I looked up, and it was surreal to see my name announced as the winner for Clips4Sale Trans Creator of the Year.”
Bentley took to the stage to accept the award, describing the experience as both exhilarating and overwhelming. Overcoming initial anxiety as she addressed the crowd, she expressed heartfelt gratitude. During her acceptance speech, Bentley thanked everyone in the room for their support and paid tribute to the community that has been central to her career. Additionally, Bentley had the honor of accepting an award on behalf of Emily Adaire, who could not be at the Awards ceremony in person, but was named Best Non-US Performer.
Reflecting on the achievement, Bentley described it as an extraordinary and validating recognition of her hard work. “Everyone wants to have some recognition, and awards and nominations do that, but it goes so much farther than the few minutes of accepting a trophy,” Bentley said. “We work 24/7 at this, and I’m incredibly focused. When people start to notice the work I’m putting out, it makes me feel so good.”
Bentley spent five days in Los Angeles ahead of the awards, using the opportunity to shoot new scenes and collaborate with fellow creators. Upon returning home to Las Vegas, she expressed deep gratitude, as the accomplishment began to truly set in.
The win builds on Bentley’s previous nominations and solidifies her status as a leading figure in the industry. The TEA Awards celebrate talent, creativity, and dedication within the trans adult entertainment community, and Bentley’s achievement underscores her impact as a creator and innovator.
