She said those in the company “should be okay with being shamed every day of your life.”

In the clip, which has more than 2.4 million views since it was posted on Wednesday, Riley can be seen sitting at a desk in a baggy sweater that reads, “Has anyone seen my pants?”
Speaking directly to the camera, she begins, “I lost my whole family and that sucks.
“So a lot of times when people ask me if they should be doing porn I say no, I tell them it makes life really hard, it makes dating really hard, it makes your family life really hard, it makes intimacy hard.
“If you expose yourself and the world judges you now, you should be okay with being shamed every day of your life.”
Riley said at the time, “I don’t even want to have kids because I do porn because I’m worried about how people treat my kid.
“For me personally, my mom was supportive in the beginning — she just let me do everything. Not that I thought it was a good thing, I had a lot of freedom.
“As time went on and I became successful, I started to feel like my mother was using me so she could live a more luxurious lifestyle.
“When I started setting these boundaries, not giving her money or anything like that, it made our relationship a little more difficult and almost toxic and so it sucks.
In 2021, Riley, who is married to freerunner Pasha Petkuns, was estimated to be making up to $570,000 a month selling content on the subscription site OnlyFans

“I don’t have a mother anymore, I don’t talk to her, I miss having a mother. I feel like you can’t rewind and you can’t go back.
“I don’t have that relationship with her anymore. I don’t think I ever will and that makes me angry – it makes me very angry.’
She added: “I’ve talked to my dad and he’s struggling with my job in the industry and he’s religious too.
“Recently I wanted to go visit him and he said I can’t visit because his wife – my stepmother – doesn’t want me there. I can’t visit my father anymore because my stepmother doesn’t like my doing porn.
But when I thought can we go get coffee or have breakfast he said “I don’t want to be seen in public with you” and that fucking hurt and it sucks.
“I lost my family, I don’t talk to my siblings. I think they were all trying to take advantage of me and stuff, or they’re like my dad and don’t want to be around me.’
Riley closes the clip with a dramatic sigh as she rests her head on the table.
By 2021, Riley was estimated to be making up to $570,000 a month selling content on the subscription site OnlyFans.
She brought a four-bed, six-bathroom mansion, located on a massive 3.6-acre lot, in Pasadena, California, for $4.8 million in cash.
That same year, she also married freerunner Pasha Petkuns and the couple has since welcomed a child together.
