A celebrated porn star named Riley Reid, 31, has come forward about how one of her ex-boyfriends made her feel “disgusting” for being a sex worker. Reid has previously spoken out about how hard it was for her to find a male partner who was supportive of her career choice. Most men Riley Reid dated outside of work were not comfortable that she had sex with other men for a living.
Despite her struggles with finding a supportive and loving partner, Riley Reid is doing pretty well for herself. The California-based porn star, whose real name is Ashley Matthews, finally found the love of her life. She married free runner Pasha Petkuns (below) in 2021. Together they are raising their young daughter.
The porn star opened up about her struggles to find love during an episode of the Impaulsive podcast with controversial YouTube sensation Logan Paul. She told the podcaster that one of her ex-boyfriends would refuse to kiss her after she returned home from work because she had been having sex, including oral sex, with other men.
During the episode from 2018, the young hot porn star said, “He made me feel like maybe I should quit and stuff. So, like, [it] made me feel like a disgusting person. And I’m not disgusting. It’s harsh. It was so horrible when he told me that.”
In a previous report from Unilad, it was claimed that one of Reid’s previous boyfriends made her feel so bad about her career in the porn industry that she contemplated quitting her job for good. Last year, Reid talked more about that, saying: “My ex was so anti-porn, I almost quit porn because I thought I hated porn, but then I realized I just hated him.”
In 2021, Riley Reid shared her struggles to find a loving partner in a detailed post on Instagram. It took the celebrated porn star a long time to find a loving man who could look past her career choice and love her as a human being.
She wrote: “Never have I ever had a boyfriend who was proud of my job. I’ve had two ‘normal’ boyfriends in my adult life, normal being they don’t do porn. Both of which ended in an ultimatum, porn or them. I always chose porn. I’ve struggled with the choice, though, wondering if I’ve made the right decision.”
Thankfully, Reid finally found a man who could accept her for the person she was. She married her husband in 2021 and is now a happy mother to a six-month-old baby girl named Emma.
In November 2022, Riley Reid shared a picture of herself and her family along with a caption that stated, “Forever thankful for my newly founded family. I love you and appreciate you endlessly, @pashatheboss. You’re such an amazing husband to me and an even better father to Emma. You’re so present in every moment with both of us, and I am so happy to spend every day with you. Thank you for choosing me as your wife, best friend & life partner. Thank you, Emma, for being the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I adore and love you more than you’ll ever know.”
