Early life

Devon was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. At age 19, she was a stripper at Al's Diamond Cabaret in Reading, Pennsylvania. She got this job after visiting the cabaret's "amateur night" in which she took first prize in the event and was offered a job as an "exotic dancer". This job would last for three years and fund Devon's breast implant surgery. As a young girl, her dream was to become a gymnast. However, due to her height, she was not able to participate at a competitive level, so she was forced to look to other careers. In an interview, Devon has stated that her dream when growing up was to be a movie star.
