Leigh Raven (born November 30, 1991, in Brooklyn, New York—though some sources list Menifee, California) is an award-winning American adult film actress, director, performer, and content creator known for her edgy, goth-glam style and work in kink, BDSM, lesbian, and hardcore scenes. With a striking look—tall (about 5'8"), heavily tattooed (full sleeves, neck, chest, and more), dark hair, bold red lipstick, dark-framed glasses, and a fierce, artistic vibe—she entered the industry around 2016 after modeling for places like SuicideGirls, Inked, and Marie Claire, plus early jobs like a district trainer for Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
She's appeared in hundreds of scenes (over 200+ per industry databases), often with studios like Kink.com (where she's directed her 100th scene as of recent posts—celebrating a big milestone with a "banger" coming Easter), Burning Angel, Brazzers, Evil Angel, and more. Her performances blend intense energy, authenticity, and versatility—frequently tagged for lesbian, anal, DP, gangbang, and fetish content—while she's also known for her queer-leaning preferences and real passion in scenes. She was formerly married to fellow performer Nikki Hearts (they've appeared together in projects).
Now based in LA, she's shifted focus toward directing (especially at Kink.com), producing, and sharing behind-the-scenes, music tastes, playful reels, and personal updates on Instagram (@leighravenx with 231K+ followers), X (@leighravenx), and other platforms. She's outspoken about industry experiences (including past allegations of on-set boundary issues in 2018, which she addressed publicly), consent, and empowerment—keeping it real with a mix of humor, attitude, and creativity.
She's a standout in alt/adult spaces—talented, resilient, and unapologetically herself.

From myppets.club:

Leigh Raven is an American-born Penthouse model, adult model, popular porn actress, adult movie director, and suicide girl model, born on November 30, 1991 in Menifee, California, United States.

Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared as Leigh Raven Suicide.

Leigh Raven was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in July 2018, stepping into the spotlight at 26 years old. With her statuesque 32-25-33 figure, charming brown eyes, silky black hair, and modest natural breasts, Leigh reflects growing sophistication, pairing confident femininity with an unmistakable spark.

Leigh Raven makes the kind of first impression that invites assumptions, then demolishes them for sport. Inked, striking, and impossible to mistake for anyone else, she arrives with a visual force that suggests danger, disorder, and maybe a little beautifully managed chaos. Then the personality underneath begins to show, and that is where the real fascination starts. Beneath the hard edges and tattooed armor is someone far more playful, more human, and more unexpectedly warm than the surface might suggest. Penthouse knew exactly what it was doing by leaning into that contrast.


That tension is what gives her photographs their electricity. Leigh Raven does not simply pose; she transforms whatever setting she is dropped into, whether that means glamour, grit, or something delightfully bizarre in between. She has the rare ability to make even the strangest setup feel intentional, as if the scene has no choice but to reorganize itself around her. What keeps it all from turning too polished is the personality in the frame. There is wit there, and fearlessness, but also a kind of laid-back authenticity that makes her feel refreshingly unmanufactured. She can look fierce without losing her sense of humor, which is part of what makes her so watchable.


By the time Penthouse named her Pet of the Month in July 2018, she was already a fan favorite with serious momentum behind her. Terrifically tattooed and impossible to overlook, she had been named Feature of the Year at the 2016 Inked Awards and had earned attention for standout work in Burning Angel’s Cindy Queen of Hell and Wicked Pictures’ Fallen II: Angels & Demons. Along the way, she continued collecting nominations across the AVN, XBIZ, and Inked Awards, including recognition for Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene, Most Outrageous Sex Scene, Best Supporting Actress, and Scene of the Year. She also expanded into directing in 2017 and appeared in the documentary X:Rated 2: Greatest Adult Film Stars Of All Time!, first broadcast on Showtime in October 2016. Her Penthouse pictorial, photographed by Ward Robinson, made full use of that uncommon combination of edge, humor, and complete photogenic control.


What stays with you is not just the ink or the attitude, though both are unforgettable. It is the sense that Leigh Raven contains more than one story at once, and all of them are interesting. Some women dare you to look. She dares you to look twice.
