Adult star Riley Reid says an ex-partner made her feel 'disgusting' because of her career choice.
The 31-year-old - who has been married to freerunner Pasha Petkuns since 2021 - previously revealed how difficult it was to find a man who is comfortable with her job.
Riley, whose real name is Ashley Mathews, has endured a successful career in the adult-film industry and has won over 45 honours, including the Pornhub Award for the 'Most Popular Female Performer' in 2022.
She was also inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2021.

However, when it came to relationships, she was once with a man who refused to kiss her after she returned home from work.
In a 2018 episode of Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, she revealed how the man made her feel like a ‘disgusting person’.
"He made me feel like maybe I should quit and stuff," Riley said.

"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 an Instagram post in 2021, she also 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 that choice though, wondering if I’ve made the right decision."
Possibly speaking about the same ex in 2022, Riley said: "My ex was so anti-porn.

"I almost quit porn because I thought I hated porn, but then I realised I just hated him."
Despite difficulties in her previous relationships, Riley is now happily married to Pasha and the couple share a young daughter together.
Alongside a sweet photo of herself holding baby Emma in November last year, the mum-of-one 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."
