Early life

Willis was born in Argentina and raised in Utah. [4]

She later lived in San Diego, California, where she worked in sales. [4]

Acting career

Willis met GirlsDoPorn performer and recruiter, Andre Garcia, on Tinder, who she began dating. [5] The man asked her whether she wanted to work in pornography films. Willis agreed, and she did her first two scenes for them which were released in 2018. [6]

Other work

In April 2022, Willis joined the cast of Eddie Alcazar's thriller film Divinity . [8] [9] Jacob Oller, writing for Paste , criticized the film generally and stated that "an extended sex scene with porn star Emily Willis is exhaustingly dull", [10] while Nadir Samara, writing for Screen Rant , praised the film, stating that performances by Willis, along with those of Karrueche Tran, Bella Thorne, and Moisés Arias, "are what give Divinity the tone that sets it apart from anything else you will see this year". [11]

Defamation lawsuit

On October 12, 2021, the actress filed a defamation lawsuit against fellow pornographic actresses Gianna Dior, Adria Rae, and 10 other defendants over Twitter posts they had made. [12] After receiving an apology, Willis dropped the lawsuit in 2022. [13]
