Kristina Shannon is an American-born adult model and porn actress, renowned for her work in the adult modeling world, particularly for posing for Twistys. Born on October 2, 1980 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States, she embodies the qualities of her Libra zodiac sign — diplomatic, charming, and balanced.
Kristina made waves as the featured model in Twistys's August 2019 edition, captivating audiences with her beauty and alluring presence. Her measurements are 37-28-40, complemented by her soulful brown eyes and luminous blond hair. She also has tattoo that add to her gorgeous look.
In 2008, Kristina Shannon and her twin sister Karissa moved into the Playboy Mansion as two of Hugh Hefner's new girlfriends. Their relationship with Hefner landed them on the E! network reality television series "The Girls Next Door." However, Karissa mentioned that their relationship with Hefner was more about fun and the opportunity to be on the show rather than romance. The first episode featuring the Shannons drew 2.4 million viewers, the highest season premiere in the show's history, though viewership dropped to 919,000 after five weeks.
The Shannons graced the pages of Playboy magazine as Miss July and Miss August 2009 in a combined "summer issue" due to financial constraints at the publisher. Unlike previous centerfold twins, they earned two consecutive months as Playmates but shared a single centerfold. By January 2010, the twins moved out of the mansion but continued to appear on "The Girls Next Door."
The twins had small roles in Sofia Coppola's film "Somewhere," which won the top honor at the 67th Venice International Film Festival in 2010. Karissa Shannon garnered additional publicity by confirming her involvement in sex tapes with Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. A sex tape featuring Karissa and her then-boyfriend, actor Sam Jones III, was released on DVD by Vivid Entertainment in October 2010 as "Karissa Shannon Superstar." In 2011, Karissa and Sam Jones III released a song titled "Juice and Vodka," available on iTunes.
On January 5, 2012, the twins participated in the ninth series of the UK reality show "Celebrity Big Brother," finishing in fifth place. They also appeared on the companion series "Big Brother's Bit on the Side."
In late 2018, the twins entered the adult film industry, shooting scenes for companies like Brazzers and Reality Kings. Raised in Clearwater Beach, Florida, they attended Largo High School for a time.
Karissa had a run-in with the law, being arrested for misdemeanor battery in November 2007. Both sisters were charged with aggravated battery in January 2008 after a fight at a house party. They pleaded no contest and were put on probation, also being required to pay restitution.
In January 2016, Kristina was arrested for DUI after driving under the influence on her way to get a nipple piercing.
