She has a killer smile, a buoyant sense of humor, and oodles of charm, but Playboy Club model Anessa Rossi views herself as a Bad Girl.
“I would say I’m very much the villain,” laughs the Cucamonga, California native. “I can be sweet and fun, and things are cool…until they’re not. If you want to go low, I’m going to take it to hell.”
Anessa’s sweet-and-villainy combo platter can be enjoyed on her TikTok channel, a space where no topic is taboo.
“I don’t hold back,” Anessa explains. “I talk about men that I’ve had sex with. I talked about getting an STD. I talked about getting pregnant and having an abortion. I’ll say something like, ‘One time I was having sex, and this embarrassing thing happened,’ and my female subscribers will reach out and say, ‘Oh, my God, you’re like me!’”
Little surprise that when Anessa sat down with Playboy, no discussion points were off the table, and exuberant honesty ruled the day.
Playboy: Back in the day, you spent some time at the Playboy Mansion. Do tell.
Anessa: So they used to categorize us girls: Tiers A, B, and C. If you were Tier C, you could come and, say, skate on the black top with your top off, but you couldn’t [come] for a movie night or go out to a dinner. If you were Tier B, you were getting invited to most, if not all the parties with A-list celebrities. And then Tier A was when you were literally invited to everything—and you might even end up staying the night.
Playboy: What Tier were you?
Anessa: C, [probably] because I was short and curvy. I was at one of the parties, and my girlfriend tells me, “There’s this A-list celebrity here who thinks you’re really cute, and he wants us both to come and hang out with him.” I was surprised because he’s the kind of guy you’d see with six-foot-tall, 90-pound blonde girls, and I’m this short, curvy Latina. But I was 20 years old, so I was like, “Cool, let’s do it.” That ended up being the first threesome of my life.
Playboy: If we take it off the record, can you tell us who the celebrity was?
Anessa: [Laughs] Absolutely not.
Playboy: Fair enough. How did you begin creating adult content?
Anessa: I was a stripper for a period of time, and that’s actually how I got big on TikTok. I was doing money counts, showing how much I had made in a day at the strip club. When my TikTok started taking off, I scaled back a little bit on the adult entertainment, and now I’m known for my live streaming, where I talk about my dating life, and tell all kinds of crazy stories.
Playboy: Okay, strap in for the worst interview transition ever: What’s your superpower?
Anessa: It is so strange, but I have the ability to know when someone is lying to me. I’ll get a gut feeling. I need no evidence.
Playboy: What was the last thing you Googled?
Anessa: [Goes through her browser history] “How much money did Alex Cooper get paid to renew her deal on SiriusXM for her podcast?”
Playboy: Hopefully someday, Alex Cooper will Google you. You have a fair number of tattoos—is there a favorite?
Anessa: My favorite one is also my worst one. I have my ex-husband’s name tatted on me. His name is Tim, and I called him T, so the T is big. One time when we were in Nashville, we got into a huge fight, and I told him, “Fuck you. I’m gonna cover up your name!” So I went to a tattoo shop and told the artist, “I want to cover this.” The guy was like. “I don’t feel comfortable doing that. You have such a little arm, and it’s gonna look bad.” I said, “Okay, fuck it, let’s put an E and the end of his name, then add the word “Heals.” So now it says, “Time Heals.” It’s my favorite one because it reminds me to never go for a bad man again.
Anessa is on The Playboy Club. Talk to her now.
