She has also participated in several online interviews and she even spoke about her parents reaction to her porn career in an episode of PlugTalk in 2021.
'They thought it would be a one-time thing and that I would be done,' said Willis. 'It was rough at first. They didn't talk to me for like two months.'
Willis later confirmed that her parents could see that she was being responsible and wasn't 'partying or being crazy.'
'They started opening up to me again and now we are super close,' Willis stated.
What controversies has Emily Willis been involved in?
Willis has made headlines in the past for a lawsuit she filed in Los Angeles. She filed a $5million defamation lawsuit in 2021 against her porn industry rivals Gianna Dior and Adria Rae.
Willis' lawsuit alleges the two women falsely accused her in a tweet of taking part in a video on social media than involves sexual relations between her and an animal.
'There was considerable rumor, speculation and innuendo about the identities of the performers within the industry, including on social media,' said Willis' suit.
'It was a scandal, and a highly salient one, with obvious potential to destroy careers.'

The lawsuit was settled privately in 2022 and Rae even issued an apology after the settlement was reached.
'At the time of my tweet, I relied on other information that I had seen from other sources,' she wrote in a statement.
'I have since come to learn that Emily was not involved. I am personally not aware of any actions taken by Emily with reference to any animals involving sexual activity,' she added.
Rae confirmed in her statement that she did indeed apologize to Willis and things have seemingly been okay between the three women ever since.
