I’m a porn star – I suffered a huge cost of being an X-rated performer and never wanted to be a mum, says Riley Reid

A PORN legend has advised others not to enter into the adult industry and tearfully told of how it made her not want children. Riley Reid, now 31 and a mother-of-one, got emotional in the resurfaced video from 2020 as she exposed the problems involved with a porn career.

She went onto become a sensation on OnlyFans with her subscriptions skyrocketing to make her one of the most popular adult film actresses on the platform. And yet, she has bravely told of how all that success comes at a high price that she wouldn’t encourage others to pay. “It sucks,” the 5ft 4inch brunette admitted on her YouTube channel. “A lot of times when people ask me if they should do porn, I tell them no. “I tell them it makes life really hard, it makes dating really hard, it makes family life really hard, it makes intimacy hard.” The heart-breaking video got worse when she explained how the adult film industry made her not want to become a mother. “You are putting yourself out there and the world is now judging you and you have to be ok with being shamed everyday of your life. “I don’t even want to have children as I am worried about the way people will treat my child,” she said. Reid’s success in her career has also put a painful strain on her relationship with her family. She told of how her mother was supportive at the beginning but things later took a turn for the worse between them. The adult start had released her mum “was using me so that she could live luxurious lifestyle”. And when Reid stopped giving her mother money, it made their relationship “difficult” and “toxic”. “I don’t have a mum anymore,  I don’t talk to her, I miss having a mum….and I can’t go back,” she said emotionally. In terms of her dad, he “struggles with my job in the industry and is also religious”. She explained how her step-mum didn’t want to be associated with her. “I am not allowed to visit my dad anymore”. “When I was like can we got coffee or like get breakfast he said ‘I don’t wanna be seen in public with you’ and that f***ing hurt,” she added. The saddened star then admitted: “I’ve lost my family and I don’t talk to my brothers and sisters”. The video concludes with Reid collapsing her head onto the table with an exhausted sigh. These days, the x-rated creator seems to be happier and enjoying her married life with free runner Pasha Petkuns. Together, they welcomed a baby girl, Emma, in July 2022. Last November, she shared a picture of her daughter with the caption: “Forever thankful for my newly founded family.” She added: “Thank you Emma for being the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I adore and love you more than you’ll ever know.” However, her previous issues with trolls seem to have persisted and she was was forced to take to Instagram recently to tell people off for insulting her baby. In the video, the porn legend told her two million followers: “The amount of people who leave mean comments about my baby is crazy to me. “Grow up. Stop being mean to a baby.” Despite the keyboard warriors, Reid regularly posts snaps of her gorgeous baby with captions like “I never knew love until I met you, Emma”.
