Bella Vendetta: Diary of a Trailblazer (Exclusive Interview)

From creating award-winning films to mentoring models, Bella Vendetta is redefining what it means to succeed in the adult industry.

From Vision to Reality: A Two-Decade Journey

Bella Vendetta’s journey in the adult industry is a testament to her vision and resilience. 

“I really started because I wanted to make the porn I wanted to see in the world,” she explains. 

Beginning in 2003 with her own solo website, Vendetta has worn many hats over the years—performing, casting, styling, and even designing sets for several mainstream and indie productions.

In 2016, she began producing full-length films, a shift she describes as pivotal. 

“My film The Training of Poe was really groundbreaking in many ways and ended up winning a ‘Feminist Porn Award,’ being nominated for an AVN award, and being written about in the Huffington Post.”

By 2020, Vendetta expanded her focus to include helping other industry workers through her webcam studio, TreasureCams.com. 

“I took all the years of success I’d had as a model, cam performer, and producer to the studio to help other models with their careers,” she added.

While she doesn’t consider herself a manager, Vendetta emphasizes her unique role in career development. 

“I help models identify their goals within the industry, figure out how to achieve them and provide support for everything from tech to emotions. We’ve built ourselves into a wonderful community of career-driven, goal-oriented models, many of whom are TOP earners on the platforms of choice.”

As she transitions away from performing to helping adult workers succeed in online spaces, Vendetta finds immense fulfillment in her new role. 

The Creative Eye Behind the Lens

Bella Vendetta’s artistic roots drive her creativity. 

“I’ve always been a creative writer, performer, and theater nerd. I feel like I’ve always had more ideas than time actually to create them all.”

The outdoors is a constant source of inspiration for her. 

“Much of my work focuses on nudes in nature and being outside in beautiful landscapes, so I am always recharged and inspired by being outside.”

She also has a unique ritual to spark her creativity. 

“I take monthly New Moon ritual baths where I visualize projects and brainstorm about what I will be doing next or even far into the future.”

Each of Bella Vendetta’s content offerings opens doors to memorable connections. The award-winning performer and filmmaker treasures her interactions with fans, especially during live events. 

“My most memorable fan interactions come from doing in-person events. Feature dancing was always a special time because fans would come from so far away just to meet you and show support. Strip clubs were always an intimate experience that was so different from any type of DM interaction.”

Today, fans can find her on VendettaVerse.com, though she admits her live-streaming schedule is limited. 

“This year, I am no longer doing paid chats outside of my planned live-streaming times. Bella Vendetta is getting harder and harder to connect with, folks!”

As her priorities shift, she’s focusing more on her work with TreasureCams. 

“My time is more geared towards TreasureCams.com and helping other models at this point. I feel like I’ve already begun a sort of slow retirement from performing myself and am moving to more of a behind-the-scenes position within the industry.”

Maintaining a balance between personal and professional life is something Vendetta takes seriously.

“I think the best advice for folks doing any sort of online content or streaming is to have business hours and not deviate from them.”

She’s firm about protecting her time and just doesn’t work on her designated days off. Vendetta has strict hours for emails, consults, research, admin, etc., and she sticks to them. 

“One of the reasons I love working for myself is that I GET to decide which days I take off and what I want to focus on.”

For Vendetta, setting boundaries is non-negotiable. 

“The world will go on if you decide you don’t answer emails on Tuesdays, you know. Having strong boundaries is really important in sex work, and this should extend to your admin and office work as well.”

Navigating the challenges of the adult industry has taught Vendetta invaluable lessons along her journey, which hasn’t been without struggles. 

“Figuring out through trial and error, overwork and burnout, and a lot of self-reflection and time auditing to figure out what a feasible and lucrative schedule looks like” was a process that took years.

Despite these challenges, Vendetta is proud of her accomplishments and feels “so blessed to have over two decades’ worth of data to look back on and analyze to figure out what the recipe for success looks like.”

What’s Next for Bella Vendetta?

Vendetta has an exciting lineup of projects on the horizon.

“I have a new film called BeMoan, coming out in December, starring TreasureCams models Vesper Vail and Victor Viero. Look for it on my personal site and everywhere I release videos. Next year, I’ll release a new feature-length film, an artistic docuporn starring TreasureCams model Seska Lee.”

Her site, VendettaVerse.com, will continue to serve up unique content. 

“My website will continue to serve up some gorgeous fetish photography and timely and seasonal weekly content throughout all of 2025. The site features me as well as my gorgeous friends and collaborators, whom I photograph.”

Fans will also have a final chance to catch her live this season. 

“I will also be doing some of my last cam shows for the year! Catch me live on December 23rd for a Christmas stream and on January 3rd, 6th, 24th, and 31st, all from 9 a.m. until noon (EST)! You can join directly through my Jerkmate link.”

For TreasureCams, the future looks bright with several models Vendetta is eager to introduce to everyone. 

“OG fetish model Nikki Sebastian is now LIVE on cam with our studio, and new never-before-seen models Jinx Iris and Angel Ingram are brand new to TreasureCams and quickly becoming top models into 2025. I’m hoping to add about a dozen more high-quality live-streamers who have their shit together and want to take it to the next level in 2025.”

Behind the Scenes with Bella

From the studio to the countryside, Bella Vendetta continues to leave her mark, blending creativity, mentorship, and a life well-lived.

“I live on a homestead in the rural country, so when I’m not in front of a computer, I’m out in the garden, tending to the farm, hiking mountains, fishing, and tanning hides. Next spring, I plan to build a canning shed and outdoor kitchen. I love doing fan-funded farm projects!”
