Career edit
As an adult film performer, Rodriguez appeared over 50 adult films under the name Demi Delia. Rodriguez appeared on Baywatch in 1992 and Robbery Homicide Division in 2002.[11] Rodriguez established her publicity business in 2009 after leaving porn business and having divorced for the third time.[12] Starting in June 2009, along with her two children, she starred in the family's short-lived, web-based reality show, Mommy XXX[13] on Crackle.[14][15]
Rodriguez created her own management company, DD Entertainment (later known as GR Media), which represented women who notoriously claimed to be mistresses of various celebrities.[16] In 2012, she launched DialAStar.com in 2012 a phone service which allowed fans to phone celebrities.[17] As Nadya Suleman's manager, she produced and marketed the pornographic film Octomom Home Alone.[18]
In 2017, she co-founded GiToni Productions, and executive produced her first reality TV show, "Mama June: From Not to Hot" on WE tv, on which she also starred. The show is currently airing in its fourth season.[19][20]
In 2020 she executive produced "Happily Ever Altered" which premiered July 22, 2020, on Lifetime TV.[21]
Personal life edit
Gina was born Gina Marie Delia, daughter of infamous Mexican mafia head Michael "Micky" Anthony Delia and became estranged from her family at a young age.[9][22]
In April 2024, archived text messages between Rodriguez and Stormy Daniels' lawyer Keith Davidson in October 2016 which were shown during Donald Trump's New York criminal trial revealed how Rodriguez was among those who encouraged Davidson to reach out to Michael Cohen concerning what would become a $130,000 payment to Daniels for her silence about an affair Daniels had with Donald Trump.[23] While Rodriguez, who appeared supportive in texts, was not shown to have had a direct negotiating role, she would, along with Daniels and Davidson, also receive part of the settlement payment.[23]
