About
Leah Gotti, born Raegan Leah Brogdon on October 4, 1997, in Sherman, Texas, first drew notice in 2015 as a charismatic newcomer to adult entertainment. Her on-camera career was brief—barely two years—yet she filmed well over 150 scenes and collected multiple award nominations. After stepping away, Gotti re-emerged in 2024 on an entirely different stage: celebrity boxing. A stoppage win over model Amber Fields at a Misfits Boxing card reignited her competitive fire and sparked talk of a potential switch to mixed martial arts. “I’ve wrestled and fought my whole life,” she told LowKickMMA in an August 2024 interview, hinting that her second act may unfold inside a cage rather than on a set.
Before Fame
Gotti grew up in a strict household where academics and athletics carried equal weight. At Sherman High School, she captained the boys’ varsity wrestling team, ran track, and played softball—accomplishments that honed the grit visible in her later sports ventures. Scholarships led her to study biotechnology and engineering at a local college; night, she hosted a Dallas nightclub to pay tuition. A modeling gig at an Exxxotica Expo party opened an unexpected door: she won the event’s pageant, accepted a spur-of-the-moment film offer, and suddenly the biotech major was trending on industry fan forums instead of lab reports.
Trivia
- Despite her 5’2″ frame, Gotti once benched her own bodyweight during high-school conditioning and still includes powerlifting in her fight camps.
- She’s an avowed anime fan; her first public appearance after retiring in 2017 was at an AnimeFest panel in Dallas wearing a vintage “Fullmetal Alchemist” tee.
- A 2020 comeback tease on social media briefly crashed her personal website when 200,000 visitors attempted to stream new content at once.
- Gotti calls sprint drills her “brain reset,” crediting track workouts for keeping anxiety at bay during both exam weeks and fight weeks.
- She jogged a half-marathon in Colorado in 2024 while acclimating to altitude for boxing camp—and then went straight to wrestling practice that evening.
Family Life
Leah is the middle child of Eddie and Rhonda Brogdon. Interviews suggest her parents’ rules were firm—curfews, church on Sundays, and no dating before senior year—but sports travel softened the boundaries and gave her a first glimpse of life beyond Sherman. She remains close to her mother, often sharing gardening photos together on Instagram. Relations with her father cooled when her adult-film work became public, yet recent posts hint at a gradual reconciliation. Away from cameras, she favors small-town quiet: raising two rescue dogs, baking sourdough, and cheering on her younger brother’s high-school football games whenever the fight schedule allows.

In adult entertainment circles, Gotti’s clean-cut looks drew early comparisons to veteran star Audrey Bitoni, and the two eventually appeared together in a 2016 featurette. Her sporting pivot has linked her to a different peer group: Amber Fields, whose defeat marked Gotti’s boxing debut, and journalists like Tim Wheaton, who chronicles her potential MMA journey. She also keeps friendly ties with fellow Texan performer-turned-influencer Elsa Jean, swapping training-camp playlists over social media. Whether sparring with pro boxers or trading jokes with ex-colleagues, Leah Gotti’s network mirrors her own unexpected resume—equal parts show business and serious sport, stitched together by the same competitive spark that first sent her racing down a wrestling mat in Sherman.
