LAS VEGAS — "Pawn Star" Olivia Black's past as an adult model for goth-pinup site SuicideGirls.com is ringing up controversy for the History Channel's long-running pawn shop reality show.
The National Enquirer reports that previous to joining season five of "Pawn Stars," a reality show set at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, Black modeled nude for adult website SuicideGirls.com.
"Olivia doesn’t talk about her porn past, but all the guys and the crew knows about it and has seen her photos,” the Enquirer quotes a source close to the program. "It’s one of the best-kept secrets from viewers.”
Black worked for SuicideGirls under the alias Belladonna. She was hired as a night shift employee by the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop earlier this year and has gone on to become a "Pawn Stars" favorite to fans of the show, and a love interest for costar and clerk Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
