Riley Reid Says She Was Made To Feel 'Disgusting' By Ex-Boyfriend Because Of Her Job

Riley Reid, an adult actor, claims that her former partner made her feel "disgusting" and did not support her work.

The 31-year-old star has previously opened up about her struggle to find a man who was at ease with her line of work. She is now happily married to free runner Pasha Petkuns.

Reid claimed on a 2018 episode of the Impaulsive show that one ex-boyfriend would decline to kiss her when she got home from work.

He made her feel like a "disgusting person," she said, adding: "He made me feel like maybe I should quit and stuff."

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 transparent about her previous relationships, including the fact that some of them disliked her work in the porn industry and that one ex-boyfriend even made her think about leaving.

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."

While in a frank post on Instagram in 2021 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, the 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."

Her marriage to Latvian Petkuns, with whom she has a small daughter named Emma, is likely to have put any remaining doubts to rest.

In November of last year, Reid posted a cute photo of herself holding Emma and gushed about her "amazing" husband.

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 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."
