Popular Ex-Adult Film Actress Changes Name, Makes History as She Becomes Senator
- Ex- adult film star Amaranta Hank became Colombia’s Senate after winning election on a platform built around political transformation and social rights.
- The 33-year-old politician stated her controversial past gave her firsthand knowledge of discrimination faced by people in marginalised communities.
- Hank challenged critics questioning her suitability for public office, arguing that a woman’s past should not determine whether she can serve in elected office.
Former adult film star Deyci Alejandra Omana Ortiz has completed a dramatic political transformation after being sworn in as a senator in Colombia.

From adult entertainment to the Senate
Ortiz, a former journalist, entered the adult entertainment industry in 2017 but left two years later to pursue a career in politics.
She was elected in March to represent Colombia’s Norte de Santander region.
Yahoo News stated that her journey from the adult film industry to the Senate has drawn attention, particularly as she openly embraces the experiences that shaped her political convictions.
Ortiz has argued that her past helped her understand discrimination and inequality from a personal perspective.
“My experience allowed me to understand inequality, the struggle for freedom and the popular economy,” she said.
‘Why can’t a woman aspire to office?’
Responding to critics who questioned her suitability for public office, Ortiz asked why a woman who had worked in the adult industry could not aspire to become an elected representative.
She also plans to advocate for better mental health services and stronger measures against sexual abuse.
For Ortiz, her rise to the Senate represents more than a personal victory.
“I feel embraced by my people,” she said, describing her election as part of a political transformation that has only just begun.
