One of the biggest names in the entertainment of adults was 'permanently disabled' left after treatment for a serious drug addiction in a Malibu Rehab Center, according to a recent court case.
The family of Emily Willis, 25, has now taken legal steps against Summit Malibu and her parent company Malibu Lighthouse Treatment Centers, LLC, reports De Spiegel.
The lawsuit quotes, “abuse a dependent adult, professional negligence, negligence and fraudulent business practices.”
Willis, who played in more than 700 films during her career, stays in a semi-conscious state after a cardiac arrest in the facility at the beginning of 2024.
She checked in at the rehabilitation center on January 27, 2024, looking for treatment for a ketamine addiction.
Willis had already consumed 'five to six grams daily' of the medicine for a whole year, which led to serious side effects, including urine incontinence and nocturnal horrors.
According to judicial documents cited by the Daily Star, Willis had already been diagnosed with a serious depressive disorder, anxiety disorder and PTSD, and he had antidepressants and anti-anxiety medicines.
Drug tests performed in her admission to the facility revealed that she had no ketamine or other substances in her system, and she continued to test clean the following days despite her 'rapidly failing health'.

The lawsuit claims that Willis soon became 'confused, brittle and disoriented' and struggled to walk in the facility.
She was also “hardly eating, not showering or dressing” and “suffering from pain, vibrations, spasms, weakness, seemed to have pain and experienced vaginal pain.”
James A. Morris Jr. From Morris's law firm, who represents Emily and her Guardian Yesenia Lara Cooper, said: “Eventually she was so dehydrated that a nurse could not measure her blood pressure.
'By that time her acute medical need was admitted and yet they left the decision to go to an urgent care to a patient who suffered incredible pain and could not take care of her own well -being. There is no excuse for failure to obtain medical and psychological care. '
According to the court case, Willis was unconsciously discovered on 4 February 2024 by a nurse.
Paramedics carried out CPR on Willis for 30 to 40 minutes until they restored a heartbeat, but at that time the lack of oxygen in her brain had left her comatose.
Allegedly, she has since regained consciousness and can now follow things with her eyes, but is unable to move or speak and is in a care home in Utah.
Morris stated: 'If the staff had followed medical protocols as standard, Emily would have had the opportunity to regain control of her life.
Willis was convinced to become a member of the adult industry by a boyfriend she met on Tinder shortly after she turned 18

Willis first joined the adult industry in 2018, shortly after turning 18.
“I met someone on Tinder and we started dating. He had a site, girls do porn and he asked if I wanted to do a porn with him, “she told DVD talk for adults.
“I was so starstruck and I said,” Yes, whatever, let's do it! ” I felt really uncomfortable with it and then I fell in love with it. After my first two scenes with them, I decided that I had to do more. This must be in my life. '
Within a year she was named Penthouse Pet of the Month and her fame only grew from there.
In 2021, Willis took the Top Honor – Performer of the Year – at the AVN Awards, known as the 'Oscars of Porn'.

“It's my first big film – and it's actually brilliant,” she told XBIZ.
