Persona — from the Latin word meaning “mask”
Porn’s Shay Evans, now known as Gia Milana and repped by Nexxxt Level Talent, is revealed to be not only one of the most dishonest people in the world of X, this troubled performer may also pose a legitimate threat to production staff and talent.
Court documents retrieved from the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Van Nuys, when contrasted with her public pronouncements since her 2015 porn debut, paint a picture of an unstable and sometimes violent woman willing to say or do anything to get what she wants.
Personae
We’ve written before about how Shay Evans / Gia Milana claimed to be a “Puerto Rican Princess” is a lie that her agents at Nexxxt Level, Jonathan Morgan and Andre Madness, have used to successfully book her into many “Latina” scenes.
But her own unguarded words, and those of her ex-husband, reveal the truth.
When Shay Evans aka Gia Milana showed up at LA Direct Models’ office four years ago, in November 2015, she filled out an info sheet referred to as a “Model Profile”. In the section that asked her ethnicity, here’s what she wrote:
Instead of “Puerto Rican Princess”, may we suggest she adopt the sobriquet “Mulatto Mountebank”.
Not convinced? Then there’s this document, filed by her now-ex husband in a Van Nuys court.
In 2015 and 2016, neither Shay nor her husband had any idea she was Puerto Rican.
We’re not going to publish her legal name(s), but none of them are Spanish.
People often choose to wear a social mask or “persona” to make themselves appear more desirable socially, or in business.
How many producers have been duped by Gia Milana and Nexxxt Level Talent into thinking that they were hiring a Latina?
How many Latina adult performers have been robbed of a job by a carpetbagger who is no more Hispanic than the caucasian performers with whom they compete for jobs?
Nullity Gia Milana
In the summer of 2015, Shay met a man named Tristan M. She later discovered that he had legally changed his name from Christopher D., and had been married to adult performer McKenzie Lee, with whom he had children.
In November Shay and Tristan moved in together, and he convinced her to quit her job as an interior designer to become a sex worker. He applied to the LA Direct Models website on her behalf (LA Direct had been Lee’s agent), and set up a meeting with an escort agency as well.
In other words, the listing in the Urban Dictionary for the term “suitcase pimp” should have this guy’s photo.
In their relationship, things immediately turned to shit.
And here is where Shay’s public account of her life begins to diverge from her own prior statements, as well as from established facts.
Court records show injuries to Tristan purportedly as the result of a physical fight between them on Jan. 16.
Shay was placed under a 72-hour 5150 Involuntary Psychiatric hold that night. The reason for the hold was that she had overdosed on her psychiatric medications and battered her husband.
Shay and Tristan reconciled, and married on Feb 1, 2016, but the problems continued.
On Feb 8, Shay signed a bizarre “I won’t hurt you” contract in an effort to get her violent mood swings under control in order “to stop abuse” by her against Tristan.
Here we see the first indication that this was a relationship between a very controlling man and a highly emotionally unstable woman.
Five days later, there was another fight, during which, court records show, Tristan suffered bite marks. The photos of the event show damage to their home, including broken and stabbed doors.
On March 14, 2016, Shay was placed under another 72-hour 5150 Involuntary Psychiatric hold after suicide threats
She was released on March 16, but the violence continued.
Court records show a March 23, 2016 emergency protective order — protecting Tristan — followed by a TRO filing by him on April 1. The TRO was approved by the court.
Tristan’s affidavit provides his version of what happened on March 23, and on other dates.
On April 4, Shay was arrested for Domestic Battery, and released on $20,000 bond. She was arraigned on April 13 in Van Nuys.
On May 10, Tristan filed for an Annulment, (Nullity of Marriage)
Six days later, Shay flew to NYC for a 5-day escorting tour.
Swingers
Shay’s schtick over the years is to say that she got into porn because she and her husband were swingers who enjoyed a swinging lifestyle that included her having sex with men for his pleasure, and thus porn was a natural progression.
This story played well with the fans in the same way that saying she was Puerto Rican instead of African American helped her appeal to the lucrative Latina market.
Persona means mask.
However, Shay’s own affidavit, part of her own Restraining Order filing against Tristan (filed days after her return from NYC), tells a different tale.
Tristan had documentary evidence on his side, but Shay’s new attorney had come up with a cunning defense strategy: to fling he said/she said accusations at Tristan and reveal enough dirt on him to make him refuse to come to court to testify against her.
We will conclude the tale of Shay Evans / Gia Milana in part 2.

The one word you definitely do not want to call her.
Starts with “N” and ends with a “R” !
Your NEIGHBOR
Are those exhibits knife stabbings on the door ?
She could have killed that man. She is man eater
It needs to be noted that Abilify is an anti-psychotic usually used for bipolar I disorder or schizophrenia. Zoloft is an anti-depressant used for depressive disorders (including the depressive phase of bipolar I or II). I would bet she also has a benzodiazepine (Valium, Xanax, Librium, Klonopin) prescription for PRN use. The combination of a anti-psychotic and an anti-depressant is usually indicative of bipolar I although it is possible to have depression and schizophrenia without ever having a manic episode. Either way, I hope Gia/Shay has managed to get her mental illness under control by now, to be prescribed Abilify shows she has a very serious mental illness and although it can be controlled (I am testament to that) she needs to stay out of romantic relationships until she can get long-term control of her mental illness. 25 of any anti-psychotic is enough to really knock someone out, probably for the whole 72 hour hold that Gia/Shay was put under. Theoretically she could have needed to have her stomach pumped although once the Abilify dissolved in the stomach the help that would have given would have been limited at best.
I don’t think there is a “hit list”. I think this was published to show how dangerous Shay really is and that she could be trouble on a set. Producers already know that Charlotte Cross is dangerous on a set and to agents (although more for lying than physically) while Hadley Viscara is more known to be a problem to agents than performers and directors. I don’t know who you are talking about regarding “Ryan”. Ryan Conner comes to mind but I haven’t run across anything about her behaving in the manner than Gia Milana, Char Cross and Hadley Viscara have.
Girls that get a bad rep for being difficult find themselves blacklisted from major studios and either have to produce their own content on a cell phone camera or end up working for the bottom of the barrel companies like Brotha Lovers.
Karma – I agree with you generally, however the term “blacklisted” implies a collusive effort by producers who get together and agree to not hire someone. That doesn’t happen, nor is it needed. Producer A would want to avoid a problem employee/contractor for the same reason Producer B would. Because their jobs, businesses and needs are similar, they have a similar interest in avoiding certain types of employees/contractors, and consequently take simian steps to protect themselves.
mharris – Hadley Viscara is out of the adult business and I believe she has even pulled her social media. If this remains true than she can personally no longer be of concern (or a threat) to directors who may wish to hire her.
However, the angry intersectionalist “straight for pay” crew, which includes her friends Leigh Raven and Nikki Hearts (and Charlotte Cross who now claims to be gay, although one has to wonder if one can believe anything that woman says), as well as Hadley when she was still performing, will always represent a grave threat. They have proven time and again a willingness, if not a deliberate plan, to levy false charges in order to make some kind of point.
There used to be a web site (5-10 years ago) for producers to post about girls that flaked on set, showed up too high/drunk to work. showed up in unhygenic condition, Cost kill fees and other such problems. Not sure if it is still up and running.
Well no Sherlock Holmes here but from the evidence exhibits and verbiage she has a land line with a phone where she used a telephone cord to strangle the severely beaten husband and bit him, Looking at her teeth she has fangs like a carnivorous saber tooth tiger.
Ok so what, she wanted to enter the more lucrative Latina market. If any production companies fall for Gia’s bullshit its on them not her. lol
Man there are some of the hottest and most popular Latinas out there these days pouring out of South Florida like top names, Abella Danger, Autum Falls. Spiegler has a hand full of other top picks. Its the producers fault for falling for this crock. Want Hot Latin talents it not a difficult find. The Latin girls should sound off on social media for them loosing work because of her BS. Veronica Rodriguez should be pissed at this too.
Seriously though avoid pissing this brawd off.
Being 5 feet tall she can still reached up high on that door with a knife.
Plan on Banging this brawd best get a chair and whip like you are a circus animal stunt devil and pry you don’t get accused of rape after being strangled, beat down and chewed up literally.
XXX, I am glad to read that Hadley is out of the business. The hit job she tried to do to Derek Hay is enough to piss any honest person off. Skankledee and Skankledum (Leigh and Nikki) need their fingers, their pussy lips and their clits cut off without anesthesia for what they attempted to do to Just Dave and his crew. Charlotte Cross is just plain crazy and any director that hires her and knows this needs a 5150 hold and a full psychiatric examination. I don’t know how she gets any work at all. I bet she is one hell of a ride, though.
Also, wasn’t she living with Yurizan Beltran at the time of her OD? That has to be dramatic event in someone’s life. She sounds more borderline personality to me that bipolar but I’m not a medical professional. I will say that I think she is really sexy and I hope she gets her shit together. Who cares what her ethnicity really is? Vicki Chase is in a ton of Asian scenes and she ain’t from the Orient. It’s porn where nothing is real and nothing is what is seems.
Evans had been Yuri’s roommate, but not at the time of her death. I don’t see her as the sentimental type; she’s all about the fast cash.
Yuri was my favorite. Still miss her.
I’m afro Latino. I say I’m black and Latino. Latino isn’t a race. You can be African American and Latino
That’s totally irrelevant because she is not Latin. She is African American and lying about her heritage.
Man Look at them fangs on her. She is a man eater. She got escort ads with Lita Chase/ Lordes enterprise all over Chicago ,New York , Los Angeles Before/after and during the time she gave statements about her being pimped and trafficked. wow
Heard she is trying to make a comeback. Never heard of her until a come back notice.
