Emily Willis' mum is suing a rehab centre after the adult star was left 'permanently disabled' following drug addiction.
The Porn star was left 'permanently disabled' after admitting herself into a rehab facility for a ketamine addiction.
One of the biggest names in adult entertainment, Willis checked into the Summit Malibu treatment centre on January 27, 2024.
According to the Daily Star, she had been consuming 'five to six grams daily' of the dissociative drug for an entire year, leading to serious side effects including urinary incontinence and night terrors.
The former 'Performer of the Year' had already been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder and PTSD, and was on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds.
According to court documents, drug tests conducted upon her admission to the facility revealed that she didn't have ketamine or other substances in her system.
She continued to test clean over the following days despite her 'rapidly failing health.
Days later, on 4 February, 2024, Willis was discovered unconscious by a nurse practitioner.
Paramedics performed CPR on her for 30 to 40 minutes until they restored a heartbeat, but at that point, the lack of oxygen to her brain had left her comatose.
She has reportedly regained consciousness since then and can now track things with her eyes, but is unable to move or speak and is in a care home in Utah.
As reported by The Mirror, her family have now taken legal action against Summit Malibu and its parent company Malibu Lighthouse Treatment Centers, LLC.
The lawsuit cites, 'abuse of a dependent adult, professional negligence, negligence and fraudulent business practices.'
Willis first joined the adult industry in 2018, shortly after turning 18.
Within a year she had been named Penthouse Pet of the Month and her fame only grew from there.
In 2021, Willis took home the top honor - Performer of the Year - at the AVN Awards, which is known as the 'Oscars of porn.'
She later made the jump into mainstream films by starring in Eddie Alcazar's sci-fi film Divinity alongside Stephen Dorff and Bella Thorne.
