Popular Adult Performer Riley Reid Opens Up About a Startling On-Set Accident

Riley Reid, a renowned figure in the adult entertainment world and a top creator on platforms such as Pornhub and OnlyFans, recently revealed one of the most unforgettable—and painful—accidents she experienced during filming. With a career spanning 14 years that began when she was only 19, Reid (born Ashley Matthews) has amassed impressive earnings—reportedly around £15 million—and earned a slew of industry accolades, including an induction into the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2021.

 Despite her long list of accomplishments and a career filled with many memorable moments, one off-camera mishap stands out in Reid’s recollections. In an episode of the Stiff Socks podcast, during a discussion about the extreme nature of some BDSM scenes, Reid was asked to describe the most intense on-set incident she’d encountered. While she mentioned that there were times when physical intensity was part of the performance, one unplanned accident proved to be particularly problematic.

Reid recalled that earlier in her career—before she switched to using acrylic nails—she had kept her natural nails long. During a scene involving a male co-star, her unfiled, delicate nails accidentally caused a small cut. “I actually, once—or actually twice—ended up cutting a penis with my nails while pleasuring my partner,” she admitted with a laugh. She described how every time things heated up and the actor became aroused, a little cut would reopen and bleed, forcing the production to halt the scene. Co-host Trevor Wallace even compared the experience to being struck by something as sharp as a bayonet.

Realizing the unintended risks posed by her natural nails, Reid took measures to file them down for future scenes. This precaution has since prevented similar accidents and stands as a reminder of the unforeseen challenges that can arise in the fast-paced and often unpredictable environment of adult film production.

Now married to Pasha Petkuns and a mother, Riley Reid continues to produce adult content—albeit with adjustments to protect her personal life. Her candid recounting of this accident not only sheds light on the physical risks sometimes encountered on set but also underscores the evolving nature of her career as she balances professional and personal commitments.
