ABOUT ALISON REY:
A multi-nominated adult performer and model, the alluring Alison Rey exploded into the World of X in 2014, with wholesome girl next door looks, and an emphatically unwholesome sexual prowess. Her powerhouse performances and acting chops have earned Rey an avid fan following via her scene work for studios such as Brazzers, Adult Time, Adam & Eve, Jules Jordan Video, Penthouse, Girlfriends Films, HardX, New Sensations, Naughty America, Hustler Video, TeamSkeet, Mile High Video, Twistys, Missa X, Reality Kings, Mofos and many more.
Rey says her favorite thing about being a part of the adult industry is “feeling free to be myself. Most of my life, I felt like the black sheep because I was different from everyone else, I embraced my sexuality, and I was a little bit weird. I think the outside world is much quicker to judge than the people I currently surround myself with, and I love being able to go to work every day and know that I am accepted for exactly who I am.”
Rey was nominated for Hottest Newcomer at the 2016 AVN Awards; Best Supporting Actress and Best Group Sex Scene at the 2019 AVN Awards; Most Epic Ass at the 2020 AVN Awards; and Best Sex Scene – All-Girl at both the 2021 and 2023 XBIZ Awards.
In October 2021, Rey acted as a presenter at the 37th annual XRCO Awards in Hollywood, and joined a roundtable of expert phone sex practitioners to discuss the secrets of their success in a feature for HUSTLER Magazine. In November, she discussed underrated and overhyped sex positions for Mashable, and returned to HUSTLER in January 2023 to address fan etiquette.
In April 2023, Rey was profiled in VICE as she explored what sex and dating look like for adult performers. In March 2024 she discussed “How Porn Stars Are Fighting Back Against AI” for The Daily Beast.
The busy Rey was an earth-shaking success when she hit the feature dance stage for the very first time at Gold Club Centerfolds in the Sacramento Metropolitan Area in April 2022, as well as at her New York City dancing debut in December, and her Las Vegas appearance during January 2023’s AVN Adult Entertainment Expo.
She was nominated for Unsung Darling in the 2024 AVN Awards, and named XBIZ Creator of the Month in February 2024.
Rey is currently nominated for Best Actress – Featurette in the 2025 AVN Awards, and Best Sex Scene – All Girl in XBIZ’s 2025 XMAs.
Alison Rey resides in Los Angeles.
