LOS ANGELES — Mariah Milano has officially retired from porn.
"I'm done," she said.
She began her career in January of 1998 has decided to hang it up after 14 years.
"I have had a good run," she said. "I'm healthy and disease-free and I've created a name for myself that I hope to continue on into other ventures. Mariah Milano is now a brand name and I have a very good opportunity to make good of my fan base for something bigger and better that I can be proud of."
Milano has recently started a cooking and travel site DinnerWithaPornstar.com.
"I do plan to shoot for my own site and do some cam shows for my members," she said. "I just won't be filming with very many porn stars, if any."
Milano has done nearly 600 scenes and owns and operates her own network of websites and her own affiliate program PornStarPayday.com.
"I have plenty of work with event hosting and my sites and my cookbook with which I am about half way done. I haven't shot a scene since 2011 which was for Seymore Butts so that's a great way to go out, especially being for him and it was my first interracial anal scene. As well I just signed an agreement with British and German cable networks to do cooking segments weekly so I have a full plate."
The cable networks are independent of each other and broadcasts are set to begin this fall.
"I'm also working on a spokesmodel deal with a major U.S. company and should have that in place within the next few weeks which is very exciting. So I am more busy now than ever all with bigger and better projects that I am very proud of. I have enjoyed most of my porn career and can't imagine where I would be today without it, but it's time. I don't want to be Brett Favre and play that game and just wish to say a sincere thank you to everyone who has hired me and appreciate every opportunity."
