Lana Rhoades is introducing an AI 'twin' modelled on her appearance at 19 years old, after previously saying she wanted her adult films removed from circulation. The former performer has worked with Candy AI to develop the digital double, including approving its appearance and voice.

The project was scheduled to launch on 11 November 2026, offering personalised pictures, videos, and one-to-one conversations. Rhoades says the venture will not require her to personally film another explicit scene.

Candy AI Twin Offers Personalised Content

The digital version is designed to interact with users around the clock, combining individually tailored visual content with chats. Its appearance recreates Rhoades at the beginning of her adult-film career rather than depicting her as she looks today.

The subscription price was listed as $13.99, (approximately £10), although the announcement did not specify the billing period. Public availability has not been independently confirmed.

Rhoades Took a Hands-On Development Role

Rhoades discussed the project in comments published by The Daily Express US on 11 November, describing her involvement in creating the character. 'I was completely hands-on and approved every single detail,' she said.

Her account included approving how the digital version looks and sounds, giving her input into the representation presented to users. It is unclear whether she also reviews the images, videos and conversations the AI produces.

'Having a digital twin completely rewrites that equation,' Rhoades said when discussing the demands of maintaining a career. She also suggested that digital counterparts could allow creators to continue working without making the same sacrifices to their wellbeing.

The project offers a way to reconnect with an audience through a representation of herself rather than new physical performances. Her comments focus on that difference, not on a return to the filming arrangements she previously criticised.

The choice to model the twin on Rhoades at 19 years old places its design alongside a period she has spoken about critically. She previously said she had 'little say' over who she filmed with at that age.

However, she has not explicitly connected the younger appearance to those experiences in the statements available as of press time. No explanation has been established for whether the choice was commercial, personal or creative.

Why She Wanted Her Adult Films Deleted

Rhoades previously explained that she wanted videos removed but did not hold the rights needed to take down much of the material. Her comments came during a 2021 appearance on Harry Jowsey's podcast.

She said she would otherwise have deleted the recordings, describing the gap between wanting them removed and being able to make that decision. Her account should not be read as confirmation that she lacked rights over every recording or that all her previous work remains available.

The AI venture introduces a new representation that Rhoades says she helped shape before its release. It does not establish ownership of the underlying technology, approval of every generated output, or any change to the rights governing her earlier films.

The report does not disclose the contractual terms governing her likeness, restrictions on outputs, or whether she can withdraw permission.
