Bonnie Rotten

Covered in more than thirty tattoos and utterly unbothered by anyone's expectations, Bonnie Rotten carried a punk defiance into her scenes that made even the hardest use look like something she had chosen, and usually something she was enjoying.

She arrived in 2012, and within two years had become the first alt-porn performer ever named AVN Female Performer of the Year, while also launching her own production company and directing features. She stepped away in 2015, returned in 2018 and retired for good in 2020. BDSM Mansion holds only a small sample of her work, but it is representative: a rough session among tattooed stars, and a scene in which she is dominated by a man and a woman together, mixing anal, blowjob and bondage elements.
