Personal life In March 2021, Dior became partially paralyzed due to rejection of vitamin B12 by her body, which caused damage to her spinal cord. After one month of treatment and rehabilitation, she recuperated.
In October 2021, fellow pornographic actress Emily Willis filed a $5M defamation lawsuit against Dior, as well as Adria Rae, and 10 other unnamed defendants over Twitter posts that they had made. The lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice in 2025, due to no one appearing on the incapacitated Willis' behalf.
