Alt Erotic Director Ivan Launches GoFundMe for Model Misha Montana

LOS ANGELES — According to director Ivan, Alt Erotic model Misha Montana has suffered a stroke and a GoFundMe campaign has been created to help with mounting medical bills.

Last Thursday, according to Ivan, Montana “woke up in a panic. She immediately noticed something was wrong when she was unable to formulate words and realized half of her face and arm had gone numb and lost all sensation. To add to the horror of an already frightening scenario, Misha was almost two hours away from a hospital. She jumped into her SUV and headed down the mountain with one operable arm and not knowing if she would make it in time to save her life.”

“Imagine losing sensation in half your body, driving yourself to an emergency room and being completely overwhelmed by panicking thoughts," the Alt Erotic director continued.

When Montana finally arrived to the hospital, Ivan said, “it was determined that she had suffered a stroke. Complications from blood clots and an undiagnosed heart condition put the starlet in serious danger, and she is lucky and thankful to have lived through a situation that is fatal to many."

“Misha is one of the strongest people I know,” he added. “She is also a grounded, well-adjusted, intelligent woman who understands the aspects of humanity in sharing and helping others. This is not a setback for this fantastic lady, this in another opportunity for her to show the world her human side as well as the strength of a positive mindset.”

'A Positive Outlook'

Montana added that this “has been such an emotional and scary time in my life. I have been working extremely hard on building my brand and producing unique, authentic content. While this health situation tests my limits and abilities, it doesn’t define or break me. If anything, I’d like to use this moment as an opportunity of optimism, strength, positivity and perseverance. It’s a pivot to keep creating and sharing my story.”

“I have a positive outlook about making a comeback to porn after a stroke; I’m determined to. I’ll just get better at left-handed handjobs,” she added.
