Leah McSweeney will be joining the upcoming Pornhub Awards as one of its presenters.
The "Real Housewives of New York City" star is already looking forward to participating in the event, which is set to be held on Dec. 15.
"I am beyond excited to be a part of the iconic Pornhub Awards," McSweeney told Page Six Sunday.
The 38-year-old fashion designer also revealed that she is pro-porn and sexuality and opposes censorship. For her, people should have the freedom to enjoy whatever they want, including porn.
"When censorship is at an all-time high, I celebrate, and I hope everyone celebrates, freedom of speech and the right to enjoy sensuality and sexuality," she added.
Aside from Married to the Mob clothing founder, other stars who will present at the 2020 Pornhub Awards include iconic cult director John Waters, who is best known for "Pink Flamingos," drag queen Violet Chachki, comedian Jordan Firstman and hip-hop duo City Girls.
Ozuna, Leiomy Maldonado, Tommy Cash and more will also be joining Pornhub's third annual awards show. Porn legend, politician and singer Cicciolina will accept a Lifetime Achievement Award at the event.
Unlike most award shows, the honorees are chosen based solely on data. The most popular porn performers would win recognition based on the number of views. Some fans can also vote in other categories.
"Our Awards are totally data-driven, with the big wins going out to those you searched, viewed and lusted after the most on Pornhub this year. No judges or deciding committees here, just a jury comprised of our daily visitors," Pornhub wrote about the awards.
The awards show will recognize the most popular female, male and trans performers. It will also honor the most popular verified amateur, professional model, newcomer and more. Check out the complete list of categories and nominees for the 2020 Pornhub Awards here.
Pornhub has been expanding its reach. In September, the site worked with Berlin designers Namilia for the first-ever high fashion porn video that promotes sexual empowerment.
The collaboration on the capsule collection features five looks from the world of Herotica, which it described as "a world where women are in charge of the dialogue, the narrative, and every inch of their bodies, turning the tables on the straight male perspective."
The website has also helped some businesses recover amid the pandemic by giving them free advertising space. Several businesses were forced to stop their operations due to the lockdown, and Pornhub's “Big Package for Small Businesses” initiative gave retailers free exposure via its customized ads.
The virtual 2020 Pornhub Awards will take place on Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. EST and will be entirely live-streamed here.
