The 47-year-old then allegedly cut his head off. He was moving back into her home to keep the family together and had full custody of their daughters.
TWISTED
Las Vegas is known for bizarre homicides, but the trial and investigation into Michael’s macabre handiwork is hall-of-fame worthy.
Prosecutors said in their opening statement that Michaels — star of Ooze, Touch Me and Freshman First-Times — murdered Willette because she was angry at how quickly he was moving into her home. The duo had discussed the arrangement months earlier as a way to keep their family together.

But detectives said Michaels worried that Willette’s presence would shatter her new sexual relationship — with his 19-year-old son. And by the time of the murder, she was married to Deviere Willette, his son from a previous relationship.
SEX WITH STEPSON
The porn star and the teen allegedly told cops their marriage was one of “convenience.” But investigators discovered the pair had been having sex for years behind Johnathan Willette’s back.
Prosecutors stated that the temptress confessed she clubbed her ex-boyfriend over the head while he was on his stomach and she was giving him a massage. She denied decapitating Johnathan and hiding his head.
Cops have not recovered the head or the murder weapon.

Her legal team is pointing the finger at the dead man’s son, Deviere, in essence, her husband and stepson. Their theory is that the teen would lose the one-time VHS vixen to his father.
It was revealed late Monday that after she allegedly cut her ex-boyfriend’s head off, she carried his cellphone to her home, a detective testified.
PORNO PAST
On Friday, Johnathan Willette’s mother, Yoko Willette, told the jury she saw her son and Michaels together around 10 p.m. on the night police believe he was murdered. She said she woke up to a loud noise around 3 a.m.
Their kids later found the phone in the driveway and turned it over to the cops. It was cracked and also had blood on it.
Homicide detectives believe that Michaels tossed Willette’s head in the trash at her house and it was taken away by a waste disposal truck.

Deviere Willette denied killing his father but claimed he and the former porn star had a sexless marriage. Unfortunately, prosecutors showed the jury a treasure trove of raunchy photos and messages dating to 2016 when he was in his teens.
Meanwhile, it emerged that Michaels — who also used the name Tracee Tavarez in her X-rated exploits — was once married to another former porn star, Robert Louis Baker.
Baker was convicted in California of murdering Fabio Sementilli with his lover, Monica Sementilli. For more than a year, the pair carried on a torrid affair behind Fabio’s back.
In January 2017, they struck with another accomplice, stabbing Fabio to death on the patio of his Woodland Hills, Calif., mansion as he enjoyed a cigar and a glass of wine.
Both were convicted and sentenced to life without parole.
