Get to Know the 'Right in Front of My Salad?' Woman
READ TIME: 3 MIN.
The woman who took the Internet by storm last week and became an instant meme for freaking out while two men were having sex "right in front of my salad?!" in a hilarious gay porn clip is now giving interviews and revealing her identity.
Meet Nikki V., a professional model whose credits include stints for BET and Esquire, who is fully aware of her sudden e-popularity.
"I have been getting a lot of interviews and my following has been going up," she told the Daily Dot. "I love it because people are so funny and positive. It's a great thing."
Nikki also explained that she knew what she was getting into when she signed up for the salad scene in Men.com's "Private Lesson Part 3," which stars performers Jaxon Wheeler, who plays Nikki's husband, and Jake Porter.
"I submitted to the gig on Craigslist and they replied back to me. I wasn't shocked or anything because the ad was very clear about what they were looking for," she told the Daily Dot.
On Instagram, Nikki has been reveling in her e-fame, captioning one photo "How haters have me laughing...yes we all have haters."
"Everyone is calling me an icon and a salad queen," she wrote on another Instagram post. "I am so thankful i've been laughing at some of the things people have been sending me. can't wait see what my next scene is going to look like..."
She apparently knew her salad scene would be a hit - in June, she posted a photo of a salad and used the hashtag #rightinfrontofmysalad.
She also spoke with the gay porn news site Str8UpGayPorn (extremely NSFW), explaining how she ended up in the gay porn scene.
"I found the gig on Craigslist," she told the website, adding that there was no audition. "I applied, and I guess they liked what they saw."
Nikki also said she's not ashamed or embarrassed of being part of a porn scene, saying she's shared the clip "with my peers and family, and they think it's totally hilarious."
She went on to tell Str8UpGayPorn (again, extremely NSFW) that the scene "didn't take long" to film and that she only did "two or three takes."
"Maybe, like, five to ten minutes," she explained. "I have never acted in a role like this one before. It wasn't awkward at all, and I felt very comfortable. Everything was so natural."
She explained there was a script with only a few lines so she added her own lines, like the now-infamous "right in front of my salad?!"
"Yeah, it was something that I just said, and it all just flew out of my mouth, right along with 'you guys are fucking gross!' I was supposed to scream and just storm out, but it was all in the moment, and that's why I think people feel the rawness of it. They know it's real," Nikki told Str8UpGayPorn. "We knew it was funny and we were all laughing, but we had absolutely no idea it would turn into this!"
She said she'd be down to appear in another gay porn scene and that she's "already got a call back to do another! I am very, very excited."
"It's been so cool to see how many people actually liked my scene, and people are sending me very encouraging messages and comments," she added. "I'm totally in love with the little fame I do have now, and I'm truly grateful for all the shares, likes, and comments."
