About
Brittni De La Mora, born Brittni Ruiz on April 1, 1987, in Chula Vista, California, is a former adult film actress who performed under the stage name Jenna Presley. After retiring from the industry in 2012, she underwent a dramatic personal transformation and became an evangelical Christian preacher in San Diego, where she now leads a congregation with her husband.
Her path from the adult industry to the pulpit is marked by a public redemption story that has made her a sought-after speaker on issues of sexual purity and healing. She co-leads Love Always Ministries with her husband Richard, and together they host the Love Always Podcast, reaching audiences with a message of grace and recovery.
Early Life & Background
Raised in Chula Vista, Brittni's childhood was shadowed by family dysfunction and trauma. She has spoken openly about experiencing sexual abuse as a young child, which she believes contributed to her later choices. With little parental guidance, she drifted into the adult entertainment industry at around 19, seeking validation and escape. Those early years were marked by escalating substance abuse, which she used to cope with the demands of her work.
Career Growth
From 2006 to 2012, Brittni performed in hundreds of adult films under the name Jenna Presley, becoming a recognizable figure in the industry. She worked with major production companies and built a substantial following. Yet she describes this period as destructive, noting she 'almost lost her life' during those seven years. Her departure in 2012 marked the beginning of a new chapter, one where she found faith and purpose.
Career Timeline
Public Image & Style
Brittni's public image is defined by her dramatic redemption narrative, from adult film star to evangelical preacher. She speaks with direct, no-nonsense communication style, addressing taboo subjects within church contexts. Christian media portrays her as a powerful testimony, while mainstream coverage often focuses on her transformation and occasional cultural commentary, such as her 2026 criticism of a church using a Playboy logo in Easter promotions.
Fame & Fandom (iFAMOUS Rankings)
Brittni De La Mora commands a global audience defined by her transition from adult entertainment to evangelical leadership. Her standing within the religious sphere is quantified by the iFANN Global Fame Rankings, which place her as the 22nd most famous person in Pastors, a position she has held steady through the previous cycle. This ranking reflects her specific influence as a speaker and podcaster rather than general celebrity status. While her digital footprint spans multiple platforms including TikTok and Instagram, where she engages thousands of followers, her community lacks a formalized fandom name or organized fanbase structure typical of pop culture icons. Instead, her following functions as a congregation of believers and supporters of her ministry, Love Always Ministries, united by shared interest in faith-based testimonies and advocacy against pornography. The absence of a dedicated fan club or ritualistic campaigns underscores that her influence remains rooted in her role as a moral authority and survivor-advocate rather than an entertainer with a traditional celebrity cult.
Interesting Facts and Legends
Her conversion moment arrived when she cried out, 'Jesus, Buddha, God, whichever one of you is real, save me.' She adopted the surname De La Mora upon marrying Richard. In April 2024, she publicly urged Kanye West not to launch an XXX studio, citing her own painful history. She maintains two distinct Instagram accounts, one personal and one for her ministry. A widely retold story among her followers details her departure from the adult film industry in 2012 following a transformative spiritual awakening, framing her life as a rescue narrative involving addiction recovery. This transformation serves as the central lore of her public identity, often cited in interviews regarding the harms of pornography. Another notable incident occurred in April 2026 when she criticized a church for using a Playboy logo in Easter promotions, an event reported by Christian news outlets that solidified her reputation as a vocal critic of commercializing faith. These verified events form the foundation of her current legacy as a preacher challenging secular cultural practices.
