Adult actor Riley Reid says her ex-boyfriend, who didn’t support her career, made her feel “disgusting.”
The 31-year-old star, who is now happily married to freerunner Pasha Petkuns, has talked in the past about how hard it was for her to find a man who liked her job.
In an episode of the Impaulsive podcast from 2018, Riley Reid said that one of her ex-boyfriends wouldn’t kiss her when she got home from work.
She said that he made her feel like a “disgusting person,” and she added:
He made me feel like maybe I should quit and stuff.
Riley Reid went on to say that he ‘didn’t want to kiss me when I came home from work’.
So, like, [it] made me feel like a disgusting person,
she continued.
And I’m not disgusting! It’s harsh. It was so horrible when he told me that.
Reid has been open about her past relationships and the fact that some of them ended because they didn’t like her job in the porn industry. One ex-boyfriend even made her think about giving up her job.
Speaking in 2022, Reid said:
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, she wrote in an honest post on Instagram:
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 that choice though, wondering if I’ve made the right decision.
But she probably doesn’t have any more doubts now that she’s married to a Latvian named Petkuns and has a young daughter with him named Emma.
In November of last year, Reid shared a cute picture of herself holding Emma and gushed about how “amazing” her husband was.
She wrote:
Forever thankful for my newly founded family. I love you and appreciate you endlessly @pashatheboss.
You’re such an amazing husband to me and even better father to Emma.
You’re so present in every moment with both of us and I am so happy to spend everyday 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.
