Tricia Devereaux (born January 12, 1975) is an American former pornographic actress, XRCO Hall of Fame inductee, and co-owner of Evil Angel studios.
Career
Devereaux was introduced to the adult industry when her then-husband, Patrick, got a job working as a bouncer in a strip club and Devereaux would occasionally visit him there. The other dancers encouraged her to enter the club's amateur contest which she won; this led to her working there to make extra money.
In 1998, Devereaux was infected with HIV during a scene with Marc Wallice.
Now known as Karen Stagliano, she is also the co-owner of Evil Angel, a production company, with her husband John Stagliano.
