Emily Willis is an American pornographic film actress. She was Penthouse Pet of the Month in 2019 and has received several awards, including resting with Female Performer of the Year in 2021 at the AVN Awards. In 2024, after suffering cardiac arrest, she went into a coma for two months and paralysis, resulting in permanent disability.
Adult film star Emily Willis is “permanently disabled,” so goes the recent lawsuit made against a Malibu rehabilitation center where she sought treatment for ketamine addiction.
The 25-year-old, born Litzy Lara Banuelos, remained in a “semi-conscious” state after cardiac arrest while being treated in February 2024 at Summit Malibu, according to documents seen by The Mirror.
On December 27, 2024, the action was filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court and alleged the treatment center committed ‘abuse of a dependent adult; professional negligence; negligence and fraudulent business practices.’ A nurse practitioner found Willis unresponsive on February 4, 2024, called for assistance, and began CPR; it is unknown how long William had been unresponsive before being found.
Paramedics were able to restore Willie’s heartbeat after approximately 30 to 40 minutes of performing CPR, but due to lack of oxygen for such an extended period of time, she suffered significant brain damage and subsequently fell into a comatose state.
In March, when the family of Willis made a shocking health announcement, it said that according to her stepfather, Michael Willis, she would be in a “vegetative state.”
Though she opened her eyes and tracked it, smiled at times, and seemed to respond emotionally to conversations around her, she did not improve much further, according to the doctors.
- “If the staff had followed appropriate medical protocols, Emily would have had the opportunity to regain command over her life,” said the family attorney James A. Morris Jr. to the publication. “No patient should experience such a severe breakdown in clinical care. Her health was neglected until it was too late, and now her life is irrevocably altered.”
The exact cause of the cardiac arrest is unknown, but testing for drugs revealed no ketamine or other substances present in her system at the time.
According to the suit, the health of Willis has been claimed to deteriorate significantly immediately after entering the facility. It claimed that she became “disheveled, frail, disoriented” and that she had difficulty walking, eating, showering, or getting dressed. The suit said that she even suffered from pains, tremors, weakness, and spasms.
Morris further added, “Eventually she became so dehydrated that a nurse could not take her blood pressure.” “By that point, she had been identified with acute medical distress, yet they left it up to a patient who was in excruciating pain and dreadful distress to decide to go to an urgent care facility that wasn’t going to be able to help her anymore. There is no excuse for their failure to get medical and psychological treatment.”
