In an interview with porn journalist Gene Ross, she said during her absence she had married (but had since divorced) and had three children. She stated she was considering performing in front of the camera again, is launching her own website and will be making her first public appearance since leaving the porn industry at the 2008 AEE Convention signing for PAW/Arrow.
Diamond returned to making porn in December 2008.{{cite web|last1=Sullivan|first1=David|title=Debi Diamond Performs Comeback Scene for Zero Tolerance|url=http://business.avn.com/articles/video/Debi-Diamond-Performs-Comeback-Scene-for-Zero-Tolerance-56111.html|publisher=Adult Video News|access-date=16 December 2015|archive-date=12 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160112084926/http://business.avn.com/articles/video/Debi-Diamond-Performs-Comeback-Scene-for-Zero-Tolerance-56111.html|url-status=dead}} In early 2009, she began to perform in adult films again according to the website of the model agency representing her, run by fellow porn star Lisa Ann.
