Career

Karissa Shannon first achieved media presence in 2007/08, when Playboy founder Hugh Hefner ended relationships with his then three friends Holly Madison , Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson . Shortly afterwards, Hefner introduced his future wife Crystal Hefner as well as Karissa Shannon and her twin sister Kristina Shannon as his three new steadfast friends. Connected to the love affair with Hefner was a permanent cast of Shannon in the sixth season of the series The Girls of the Playboy Mansion , which showed Hefner's life with his friends and partners in the Playboy Mansion . It also made a guest appearance on Kendra Wilkinson's television series Kendra . The relationship between the then 19-year-old Shannon twins and the then 82-year-old Hefner often aroused ridicule and criticism, especially because of the age difference of 63 years.

In July 2009, Karissa Shannon was the playmate of the month for the US playboy. She was seen together with Kristina Shannon - who was Playmate of the Month for August - in the so-called summer 2009 edition of the American Playboy, which combined the July and August editions into one edition.

In early 2010, Hefner then announced the separation from the Shannon twins. The official reason given was that Hefner wanted to support them by separating them from completing an alleged degree. In some cases, however, it was reported that the reason for the end of the relationship was a behavior of the Shannon twins that did not match that favored by Hefner, in particular, they are said to have maintained sexual relationships with other men.

In the following years Karissa Shannon received various guest roles in films and series. In 2010 she appeared in Sofia Coppola's film Somewhere and in 2012 she appeared in Celebrity Big Brother , the American version of Celebrity Big Brother . Appearances in the US reality series Rob & Chyna by Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna as well as in the series Botched and the television film Cocked followed in 2015 and 2016 respectively .

Karissa Shannon also received a lot of media attention in connection with Karissa Shannon Superstar , an almost two-hour video showing Karissa Shannon during privately filmed oral and sexual intercourse with the American actor Sam Jones III . This was published online and on DVD by the US pornographic content production company Vivid Entertainment Group in 2010 after the actors were said to have received a six-digit dollar amount. This attention was additionally increased by the rumor that there should be another sextape by Shannon and the American television actress Heidi Montag , which her husband Spencer Pratt is said to have produced. However, this was never made available to the public.

In 2012 Karissa Shannon also became musically active and released the song Juice and Vodka (in German juice and vodka ) together with Sam Jones III , which received mostly negative reviews.

In the following years, Shannon's media presence diminished and she made headlines, especially because of her rapid physical change: Shannon gained several kilos and underwent cosmetic surgery, which was repeatedly mocked by critics. Professionally, she turned to running a beauty salon in Beverly Hills .

In December 2018, the news that Karissa Shannon and her sister Kristina Shannon had signed a contract with the American porn production company Brazzers to take part in pornographic productions as actresses for a fee in the millions received renewed high media attention . This coverage was confirmed by Karissa Shannon on her official Instagram account. Even before this announcement, Karissa and Kristina Shannon repeatedly distributed privately created videos of them with pornographic content on social media platforms. On February 17, 2019, Brazzers released the first professionally produced pornographic video starring the Shannon twins and American porn actor Scott Nails .
