LOS ANGELES, CA – After much clamoring from fans, producers and directors, adult superstar Adriana Chechik was honored as Female Performer of the Year at the 2017 AVN Awards. The brunette vixen was also recognized for Best Oral Sex Scene and Most Outrageous Sex Scene.

The AVN Awards, hosted by adult stars Riley Reid and Aspen Rae, were held on January 21 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas.

“I am thrilled and extremely excited to receive these awards and especially to be honored as Female Performer of the Year,” Chechik said. “I am very grateful to AVN voters and to the fans who have supported me and given me so much love over the past year. It means a lot to be among so many amazing performers that were honored for their incredible work. I am very grateful.”

Thanks to her acclaimed performances in a slew of movies that showcased her energy, enthusiasm and sex appeal in the past year, the 25-year-old Pennsylvania native was recognized with the top honor for a female performer at the 34th Annual AVN Awards.

“We finally have what so many directors, producers and many colleagues have been asking for the last three years – the AVN Female Performer of the Year award for Adriana Chechik!” said Derek Hay, owner of L.A. Direct Models, which represents the adult superstar. “Adriana has been the hardest working woman in the industry ever since she arrived a few years ago and this honor has eluded her throughout, but not this time! She is a true superstar who richly deserves this award! Thank you to staff and voters of AVN for aligning with the industry and fans on the presentation of this award.”

Chechik was honored with Best Oral Sex Scene for her work in her showcase vehicle “Adriana Chechik: Ultimate Slut” from Jonni Darkko/Evil Angel. She shared her award for Most Outrageous Sex Scene with fellow performers Holly Hendrix and Markus Dupree in the scene “Creamy Bottom Fun Ball Happy Time,” from “Holly Hendrix’s Anal Experience,” from Jonni Darkko/Evil Angel.

Making her adult industry debut in 2013, the popular performer has been on the fast track since she caught the eye of fans with her enthusiastic onscreen performances and engaging personality. The nine-time award-winner’s accomplishments include a number of honors in 2015, such as AVN’s “Best Anal Sex Scene” and “Most Outrageous Sex Scene,” XBIZ’s “Best Scene–Non-Feature Release”– and a NightMoves Award “Best Body.”
