Before the Banging

Joanna Angel was born as Joanna Mostov on December 25, 1980, in New York to an Israeli mother and an American father. She was raised in River Edge in Bergen County, New Jersey, where she attended Cherry Hill Elementary School and graduated from River Dell High School in 1998. After graduating, she enrolled in Rutgers University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature with a minor in Film Studies.

She first began working in a kosher fast-food restaurant in Teaneck while she was still a high school student. After a few years, when she was in college, she worked at Applebees and then to Happy Health grille when she was a college student.

Career Journey

As soon as she was done with her degree, She eventually relocated to the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, and created together with Mitch Fontaine the website BurningAngel, a hardcore adult site catering to an emerging genre dubbed alt porn, while she danced as a stripper at night. Her website followed in the footsteps of the very popular SuicideGirls, which she has referred to as “the McDonald’s of alt porn.” Following the success of Burning Angel, Angel has been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times.

“I think it’s a movement. I think I’ve started something.”

In 2013, Burning Angel produced The Walking Dead: A Hardcore Parody, an adult spoof of The Walking Dead. The same year, Joanna appeared in the independent film Scrapper along with the ensemble cast musical comedy Skum Rocks! In 2014, she had roles in the crime drama The Owl in Echo Park and the Kevin Nealon comedy series Racquetball. She also appeared in the documentary film Doc of the Dead.

Hot Curiosities

She dated her former porn colleague James Deen from 2004 to 2010. On December 2, 2015, Joanna appeared on The Jason Ellis Show to give more details about her “violent and scary” six-year relationship with Deen.

In 2010, Joanna appeared in a public service announcement for the Free Speech Coalition on the topic of Internet copyright infringement of adult content, directed by Michael Whiteacre. The spot, entitled the “FSC All-Star Anti-Piracy PSA”, found her in the company of adult performers such as Lisa Ann, Julie Meadows, Kimberly Kane, Ron Jeremy, and Wicked Pictures contract stars, Alektra Blue, and Kaylani Lei.

In 2011, Joanna was named by CNBC as one of the 12 most popular stars in porn. CNBC noted that she owns her own studio and that the “punk look” that she and her other actors share has created a new genre in the porn industry, called alt porn. Also, in 2011, Joanna made a cameo on the Adult Swim show Children’s Hospital, in the season three episode “Night Shift.” She played herself as a porn star and family friend of Rob Corddry’s character Dr. Blake.

Joanna briefly wrote a monthly sex advice column for Spin. She also contributed a chapter to the book Naked Ambition: Women Pornographers and How They Are Changing the Sex Industry.

She sometimes appears on Cracked.com as a friend of the columnists and appears in the music video for “Sound Wave Superior” by Emmure.

Joanna married fellow adult film actor Aaron “Small Hands” Thompson on October 31, 2016.

If she weren’t in the industry, she said she would probably have tried to use her degree in college or work and own a restaurant.

Sex Talk

Joanna likes passionate sex with women and filthy, rough sex with men.

As for the kinkiest she’s ever done…

“I did have a threesome behind a bar once while the bar was open and the girl in the threesome squirted everywhere and then I grabbed a glass from behind the bar and collected some of the girls squirt and then I had the bartender mix it with ice and vodka and I drank it.”
