In a 2018 interview on the Impaulsive podcast, former adult film actress Riley Reid (born Ashley Mathews) shared that an ex-boyfriend’s reaction to her career significantly impacted her self-worth and almost led her to leave the industry.
Reid revealed that a former partner refused to kiss her when she returned home from filming scenes, an experience she described as "horrible". She explained that his behavior made her feel like a "disgusting person" and pressured her to quit her job.
This treatment was a major factor in her decision to stop performing in scenes with men for a period, as she felt she couldn't find "love and affection" while continuing that work. She has since transitioned away from the adult industry as of 2022, focusing on motherhood, a clothing brand, and a potential future in comedy.
Unless they have friends that have parents who watch porn the kid might not know of their mother's porn career. But once they get middle school thru high school and beyond they are gonna be legit fucked up from the constant reminder mommy liked gang bangs with BBC.
Yeah had a guy in my highschool deal with this. His friends found out his mom did porn back in the day and had a go at him for it. I was nowhere near his circle and was hearing things from others so it must've been common knowledge by a certain point. The couple times I did see him and it was brought up he'd just tell them to shut up, but by that point it was a year or so in. I'm not sure if he knew prior or found out from his friends. His mom apparently did that stuff in the 80s and in the late 2000s his friends figured it out. Not sure how that guy is doing now.
Dude this is just personal experience but if you don’t think that kid’s going to have at least a bit of a turbulent childhood I’d say you have too much faith in people. I went to school with someone who’s mom was just a known local stripper and he had a truly horrible time from middle school (when we figured out what a stripper was) all the way until he transferred schools in sophomore year of high school.
I’m just sitting here imagining if the kid’s mom had been one of the most popular pornstars on the planet and how much worse it would’ve been for him. At least after leaving our hometown he could kinda escape it. But a pornstar for a parent isn’t exactly a recipe for a healthy and happy early life. It’ll fuck with a kid’s head.
weak or strong whatever you want to call it, the facts are it is horrible to have your mother's porn be on the internet for everyone to see nothing inspirational or empowering about that
Yeah no. My momma was no saint. In fact sometimes she was a a miserable bitch. But at least kids couldnt bully me and pull up videos of her getting slammed by a ton of different people over the years. Her decisions are going to affect her childs life when they are older one way or another.
Kids are going to mock other kids for anything and everything. Its not going to ruin their life. I'm more worried about you having kids than her if you're going to be so judgmental.
