Breakout Crossover Star Maitland Ward Tops Pornhub's Weekly Ranking

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Breakout crossover performer Maitland Ward sits at the top of Pornhub's weekly ranking, following a flurry of press attention timed with the release of her starring turn in Deeper’s feature “Drive.”

“In the short time since crossing over into adult entertainment, the mainstream actress has already made an incredible impact,” said a rep. “With scorching scenes for companies such as Blacked.com, Jules Jordan Video and a tour de force performance in the Kayden Kross-directed ‘Drive,’ Maitland has fans in a frenzy.”

This week, Pornhub searchers sought out Ward with a vengeance, sending her ranking on the site skyrocketing.

"I was a bit shocked by the news, but I am incredibly thrilled," said Ward. "While the transition to adult entertainment was an organic experience for me, I'm amazed and pleased at how receptive the fans have been. I plan to create a lot of fun and sexy content. So keep an eye out for more naughty videos!"

Ward’s Pornhub domination echoed through social media and Google. She reached the top trending spot on Google the day “Drive” was released.

"I was so happy when I trended No. 1 on Google all day, that meant the film, 'Drive' and Kayden Kross would get the extra attention everyone deserved," Ward said.

Her Instagram account currently has over 762,000 followers and has been gaining nearly 4,000 new followers a day. In the last 30 days, stat site Social Blade notes her Twitter gain as 26,139 new followers, bringing her up to over 307,000.
