A woman claims she’s been banned from the United States due to her risqué profession.
Amyyy-oxxo, a rising star in the adult industry, started her career as an escort at 18, and has since made quite a name for herself. Despite her popularity, the 23-year-old has faced numerous challenges in her line of work, one of which was a travel ban imposed on her before she even set foot in the country.
She revealed that she’s been barred from entering the US for 10 years because she’s a “w***e”. The incident occurred when Amyyy was planning a trip to a popular theme park, leaving her utterly bewildered.
She said: “I tried to go. I did my ESTA, it got accepted, so I booked all my flights. I spent six grand. Then six weeks later, I’m in Mexico City, packing my bag 12 hours before my flight, and my ESTA gets revoked.”
As only Americans and Mexicans could visit the embassy in Mexico City, Amyyy had to fly to Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. There, she underwent two separate hour-long interviews – far longer than the usual 90-second questioning most travellers face.
She claimed: “They told me I was banned for 10 years because of my old escort profile from when I was 18. They were like, ‘Oh, you’re a w***e,’ and I was like, ‘Yes, I never lied about that’.”
Amyyy subsequently found herself marooned in Nicaragua, unable to jet back to the UK as swiftly as she’d hoped. She was barred from flying home directly since all routes involved travelling through the US, where she wasn’t even permitted to set foot in the airport.
It took her a gruelling three weeks to return – an ordeal she described as “awful”. Additionally, she was bewildered over the fuss, as she considers America to be the “land of porn”.
Amyyy recounted: “I did my ESTA in September and it gets accepted. So obviously I book all my flights. I spent six grand and then six weeks later, November, I’m in Mexico city, packing my bag, 12 hours before my flight and my ESTA gets revoked.
“So then I had to fly to Nicaragua, because in Mexico City, only Americans and Mexicans can go to the embassy, so I had to go to the Nicaragua embassy where they questioned me for hours, and asked about my old escort profile.”
Reflecting on how the experience affected her, she said: “Awful. I had tickets to Disneyland. I was stuck in Managua for a month between the interviews.
“Then they told me I couldn’t enter, and I can’t fly home because all of the flights connect through America, and I cannot connect through America, because I’m not allowed even in the airport. I’m not allowed on any plane that is going to go to America, so then it took me three weeks to get home.”
Amyyy remains defiant in the face of criticism, insisting that she’s unaffected by what others think. She added: “I’m making more money than they are. I don’t really care. The more deranged it is, the more money I make.”
