Olivia Black first appeared on Pawn Stars in 2012 when she was hired to work the night shift at the Gold & Silver pawn shop. As she admitted, the concert was not exactly a dream of hers. In fact, he did not even realize that he would appear on television. “I started in the pawn business because I found this job on Craigslist,” he revealed. “He was a personal assistant just looking for a second position.” She went on to admit, “I really hadn’t realized exactly what I had requested, so I was surprised when I found out everything that was going on.”
Despite the surprise, she soon became a key figure on the show, as fans of the hit History Channel series saw the heavily tattooed beauty learn the ins and outs of the pawn shop trade. Black generally worked alongside Chumlee on the night shift, occasionally interacting with Rick and the others. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be. Just 13 episodes in, Black was in for another big surprise, except this one wasn’t that much fun. When obscene photos of her began to circulate online, the show quickly dropped her. This is what the first Star Pawn Stars has been up to ever since.
She was involved in a controversial photo scandal
Radar Online broke the news of the sudden shooting of Olivia Black Pawn Stars on December 20, 2012 after The National Investigator’s racy photos of the reality star’s past. The images originally appeared on an adult website featuring alternate models, to which Black contributed in 2008 under the name Belladonna.
Black confirmed his termination on Facebook [via [via Online Radar ], writing, “No, this is sadly not a joke. I no longer work for the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, it has been a whirlwind of a year, and now I must move on. As simple as downsizing. It’s from not the boys’ fault. I still absolutely adore my bosses!
Despite speculation that it was the obscene photos that got her fired, Black Fox News said in December 2012, “I no longer have the real reason why I am no longer part of the show. They didn’t say it, and I didn’t ask, I was so shocked that I didn’t. think about asking «. However, she later told Radar Online that the photos were probably the cause, as the producers’ definitely alluded to the fact that if there were nude photos out there, you should probably keep them a secret and sweep them under the rug, and probably no more talking about them.
She started a petition to go back to Pawn Stars
Despite the lack of confirmation of what got her fired, Olivia Black wasted no time launching a petition to return to the show. Posted on change.org, Black’s petition used statistics claiming that “36% of young women have posted nude or semi-nude photos of themselves on the Internet.” she also explained that the Suicide Girls are not adult entertainers, but “a collection of punk rock pin-ups, tattooed and sexy women, who push the boundaries of beauty with fierce confidence” to “defy convention.” She then pleaded with fans, writing: “Sign this petition to tell the production company that nude photos are not a big deal and that you want to see Olivia back on the show.”
Speaking about the purpose of the petition with Fox News , Black stated: “We want to show that America doesn’t care that I’m safe and naked, and that I can still be a part of the show.” She echoed the same sentiment during a reddit AMA session, saying, “I’m still trying to show the production company that if I get fired for SG photos, the fans don’t care. I would just like to get my job back. I think the fans are a lot more open than they are given credit for. In the end, the petition received 5,015 signatures, but Black was never invited back Pawn Stars.
A lawsuit against the show producers was in the works.
A few months after her firing, Olivia Black stopped trying to get back on the show. Instead, she began toying with the idea of suing the production company responsible for Pawn Stars, Leftfield Pictures, for wrongful termination. “Many people have advised me on this fact and informed me that it is possibly a form of discrimination and that I need to go ahead with that idea and resolve it,” Black Radar said online in October 2013. “I have been arguing with some close people and we have started talking to lawyers about exactly the reasons I have for a lawsuit, “she added.
Opening up about the injustice of his dismissal, she proclaimed: «I think it is very hypocritical that a woman who has nude photos or something of that nature, which she obviously would have done voluntarily, and participated in all this, I’m seen as negative and it looks like pornography or something. She explained: “But if a man does it, takes nude photos or makes a film in which he shows some nudity, it looks like an art, it looks very promising and very brave, but if it is a woman it is always a negative. , disgusting and pornographic.
She continued to work with the cast of Pawn Stars

She may not have left Pawn Stars on good terms , but Olivia Black has zero grudge against her former colleagues. In fact, she raved about them during a 2013 reddit AMA , gushing that they were “all super sweet.” He called Rick Harrison “an extremely smart man” and said the Old Man was “full of wisdom, when he’s not napping.” Regarding Chumlee, she said, “She’s very respectful. I loved my job! It saddened me above all not to go back to work.
As Harrison Fox News said , the cast had no issues with Black’s past. “I never fired her,” he proclaimed. Now she’s doing his thing. It’s just that the production company didn’t want me to work there anymore. What he does in his personal life is his business. That is why they continued to work together. During the AMA reddit , Black revealed: “I found out on Friday that I will be at the store, starting after the new year, taking pictures!” And their friendship did not fade in the following months.
Speaking to Radar Online In October 2013, Black said: “I’ve talked to the guys at the pawn shop in the last few days about working on something completely different. So it’s really nice, it’s really comforting to know that the guys at the pawn shop are right next to me and that they support me and I don’t really care what I choose to do in my personal life.
Was she kidding herself for being an influencer?
Olivia Black seemed to try her luck at becoming an influencer when she was invited to share her fall must-have items in a 2014 guest post on Crazy Beautiful Makeup . While she had previously been interviewed by the site, this was her first opportunity to speak solely about her beauty routine and favorite products rather than about herself. As the site noted, she was making “her journey into exciting new adventures” at the time, which apparently included schilling beauty products.
Opening up about her skincare routine, the former reality TV star shared her favorites, namely, “Pure organic coconut oil to wash my face and body, never anything else. Tea tree oil if my breakouts come back (it’s always sad when they do it for everyone!), Eucerin Q10 wrinkle cream on my face, Frank Body Scrub for exfoliation and baking soda and water for a facial scrub. When it comes to fall fashions, her must-have is “layers, lots and lots of layers” and her favorite food of the season is “anything PUMPKIN! I’m a fall baby and I love everything that goes into it. The colors, the smell, the cold, the food, everything! »She excited.
She fell madly in love
Her reality TV dreams may have fallen apart, but Olivia Black’s personal life blossomed when she met her partner, Maria Plaza (who goes by the name Bare Naked Chef), in Miami. Black, who identifies as odd and polyamorous in her Instagram bio, helped Plaza move to Las Vegas and the couple became inseparable. As they revealed in a YouTube video in 2017, in addition to pursuing their own careers (Plaza as a chef and Black as a cam girl), they began creating adult content together as a way to spend more time together.
In January 2019, Plaza opened up about her love affair on Instagram, writing: “November 2015 I met this beauty… since then we have been inseparable. From the first day I knew that she was the one who wanted to spend my life. life with. Truly my better half. My best friend. My partner in life and in crime! “She stated, adding,” I still have butterflies when she looks at me, she grabs my butt while I was [sic] the dishes. She pushes me Kiss me. Hugs me. Everything. @missoliviablck you are and will always be perfect and the one for me. I have never met a woman as kind, humble, caring and strong as you! I am truly honored to have you by my side every day. I love you forever and ever #mylittlemonkey «.
She went back to her risky roots in a big way
As Olivia Black revealed in a candid 2017 YouTube video, which she recorded with her partner Maria Plaza, she began her career as an exotic dancer and model around 2004, long before Pawn Stars. She also worked as a pole dance instructor and had several other sexy gigs, so after her stint on TV fell through, it was only fitting that she would go back to her roots. So she started modeling for Suicide Girls again, as well as go-go dancing, but it was cam girl work that took most of her time. Then he met his partner and accepted something she had never done before …
Although Plaza was and still is a professional chef, it was actually his suggestion for Black to take his fast-paced career to the next level. Explaining the transition on YouTube, Black said: “He expressed that she liked the idea of doing adult scenes. That’s something I’ve thought about for a long time, but I never really felt comfortable, so I never looked for it. After months of arguing, they tried and never looked back. These days, they regularly create adult content together, from photos to videos, and attract fans to pay for it.
She started promoting hemp products
