| Biography: Tricia Devereaux is the stage name of Karen Stagliano, a former American pornographic actress.
Devereaux grew up "in a small town a couple hours outside of Chicago," where she had a strict upbringing and attended a private Catholic high school.
She attended college in the Midwest, got her bachelor's degree in Biology from a college in Missouri then attended one year of medical school. Before starting in medical school, she had married her boyfriend Patrick. Patrick got a job working as a bouncer in a strip club and Devereaux would occasionally visit him there. The other dancers encouraged her to enter the club's amateur contest which she won; this led to her working there to make extra money. The club had a number of established porn stars visit as feature dancers – names such as Victoria Paris, Jeanna Fine and Samantha Strong.
Seeing the extra money that the features made, Devereaux sent pictures of herself to Hustler magazine for their "Beaver Hunt" feature, which got published. At the same time Devereaux came in fifth in Déjà Vu's national Stripper of the Year. She then flew out to Los Angeles at Joey Silvera's request (he had seen pictures Devereaux had sent of herself to Jim South), where she made her first on-camera scene with Silvera in Fashion Sluts 7. After she had appeared in a number of films, Devereaux was dismissed from medical school after the school accused her of cheating on a test; Devereaux claims the charge was rigged and that the real reason she was dismissed was due to her involvement in pornography.
Soon afterwards, Devereaux divorced her husband; she later said that "Patrick was too much of a pushover personality-wise, and we'd been having problems financially."
She has been common-law married to former porn star and current director John Stagliano (a.k.a. Buttman) since 1999. Devereaux is HIV-positive (as is Stagliano); along with others in the adult film industry, Devereaux believes that she contracted HIV during a scene with porn actor Marc Wallice in 1998. The Staglianos have a child, Isabella Joi, who was born March 3, 2001 and is HIV negative.
Devereaux has been on the directing team for several adult movies including Vault of Whores and John Stagliano's Fashionistas. She has effectively retired from performing in the adult industry and appears on camera in only the occasional S&M scene. She spends her time working in the office of Evil Angel Productions or working as an assistant director.
Although she once attended a Catholic junior high school, she described her religious beliefs in a 2007 interview as agnostic. |
