Nikki Benz Returns to Studio Shoots, Signs With LA Direct Models

LOS ANGELES — Nikki Benz has announced a return to studio shoots and has signed with LA Direct Models for representation.

"I've been exclusively shooting B/G content for my OnlyFans since 2019, and I wanted to venture out. I’ve known LA Direct owner Derek Hay pretty much since the beginning of my career and we’ve always enjoyed a good relationship, so I reached out to see if we could collaborate,” Benz said.

“I’m very excited to be repped by LA Direct for my all-girl and solo work. I really want to be more visible for that kind of work, so people know that I’m still out there doing my thing while I continue to shoot B/G for myself," she continued. "I’m excited to see what LA Direct will come up with for me."

Benz is the 2015 XBIZ “Crossover Star of the Year” and was crowned the 2011 Penthouse “Pet of the Year.” She was also honored as the 2011 NightMoves Awards' “Best Feature Dancer."

"I’m very happy to know that the world is slowly opening back up, and as soon as I can I will also be doing selective appearances, such as nightclub party hosting, as well as resuming feature dancing through the Lee Network,” Benz said.

Benz currently counts 4.7 million Instagram followers; her Facebook page has over 1 million "likes" and she has more than 945,000 followers on Twitter.

"Direct Models is delighted to welcome Nikki back to the agency. She is not only incredibly beautiful, but also the very definition of a professional — and one of the most sought-after and recognizable stars the adult world has ever known,” LA Direct’s Derek Hay said. “We’re thrilled to be able to help her expand her already-impressive footprint, and avail herself of opportunities that are in line with her status and experience.”
