Former adult movie star Lisa Ann claims comedian Matt Rife “inadvertently confirmed” their involvement in arranging her eviction from his 2024 Radio City Music Hall performance, which Rife ridiculed in an Instagram comment.
On X, Lisa Ann, 54, said that Matt Rife had had her taken out of the venue in handcuffs so as to impress his fellow porn star, Kendra Lust, as reported by Lisa herself. Rife, 31, wrote on Instagram that she “broke the rules” and “hit a cop.” According to police, they removed her for disorderly conduct. Lisa was not charged.
Kendra Lust responded to Lisa Ann’s post on X, ridiculing her claims and saying she is fooling her fans.
Lisa Ann quoted a post about her eviction and replied, “Case closed,” with a sunglasses emoji. She shared four screenshots of texts to support her account.
“Finally, Matt Rife inadvertently confirmed something I’ve known since 2024,” Lisa Ann claimed. Lisa Ann accused Rife of “putting on his h– hero cape for his favorite porn star Kendra Lust” to have her thrown out.
She referred to Instagram comments in which, she claims, Rife “repeatedly mentions her name” while Kendra Lust “even comments back, in replies that I can not see as she has me blocked and has for years.” Furthermore, Lisa Ann added, “Why would Matt Rife mention her name when discussing an event that had nothing to do with her?” Or did it?
Lisa Ann claims that Matt Rife “may have done that incel glow up all the way to the manosphere,” and that mentioning Kendra Lust in the comments was “very telling.”
“Matt, bragging in the comments about being a fan of Kendra, who is married, only confirms my theory that he is not just an incel, but a full-on C—,” the woman wrote. She emphasized that “Note: this is not kink shaming, this is just a simple clarification.”
“Kendra Lust hates me and has for years,” Lisa Ann continued, claiming that Kendra is “often referred to as ‘the poor man’s Lisa Ann.'” She claims that she hasn’t seen or heard from the woman since 2014.
Furthermore, Lisa Ann claims that Rife even tagged Lust in a comment reading, “I rest my case,” meaning that “I WAS SET UP in 2024.” The screenshots reviewed for this article did not include the exact message.
“I am so happy for both of them,” Lisa Ann wrote, adding that their ability to laugh at it together two years after the event on her timeline “sparkles with the sadness and insecurity they both need to live in to thrive.”
Lisa Ann asks readers to “search the articles from the event with the photos from the security cameras” and promised to “take the W here as the truth is finally out in the open.”
“Well done Matt, your h– hero cape has been officially reinstated,” Lisa Ann wrote, and hopes Kendra will buy him “a brand new c— chair.”
Lisa Ann also shared screenshots from the Instagram discussion, including one in which Rife tagged her and ridiculed the setup story.
“Oh, you mean when I did you a favor by doing your lil show?” Rife said, apparently referring to Lisa’s earlier appearance on his show. And he adds, “It didn’t seem relevant, as it was yeeeaaars before. But glad you enjoyed it!”
“And yes babe, that’s it… I was too nervous to perform for you, so I had you arrested,” he wrote, followed by a laughing emoji. “Whatever you need to tell yourself… I don’t think anyone is buying it.”
“You broke the rules, thought you were above it, hit a cop, got detained, and now you’re praying that attaching yourself to the #1 touring comedian in the world will get you some views,” Rife wrote. “I hope it works. Ppl do not care about this interaction.”
“If you want views, call Mandingo,” he writes, naming the male porn star. “I’m a @kendralust guy myself,” Rife writes, followed by three shrugging emojis.
Another screenshot showed some user tagging Kendra Lust and Matt Rife and saying that “commenting back was the best turn of events in this comment thread.” However, the comments by Lust were not provided.
Kendra Lust herself replied directly to Lisa Ann’s post on X, opening the discussion with “Haha poor mans Lisa Ann good one :).”
“My Avn fans hottest m— say different i guess fans feel different just saying,” she wrote. In 2022, Kendra received the award “fans voted hottest m—” at the 2022 AVN Awards, which is the most famous event in the adult film industry.
“Girl, I’ve lived rent-free in your head for years… they always told me what u said,” Kendra wrote. “Nobody likes u after 25 years in the industry… case closed!”
The signature echoed “Case closed,” a line Lisa Ann used.
“You can fool your fans but not the people who know,” Kendra wrote.
As of Saturday afternoon, Matt Rife had not replied to Lisa Ann’s posts on X. On Saturday evening, he was scheduled to perform at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee as part of his Stay Golden World Tour.
The incident occurred on February 4, 2024, during one of Matt Rife’s sold-out performances at Radio City. On that day, Lisa Ann provided video footage showing police officers taking her out of the venue in handcuffs. “This. Is. Not. A. Bit,” she wrote.
“I did nothing wrong! I didn’t touch my phone!” Lisa Ann said in the video. Later, she claimed that she was in handcuffs for 45 minutes, transferred by the ambulance, thus missing the show.
The NYPD police report provided by OutKick states that police responded around 10 p.m. to a 911 call about a disorderly person. NYPD claimed that the woman behaved disorderly and combatively and ignored emergency services’ orders to stop filming. She refused medical assistance; thus, she was not charged.
According to a Radio City source cited by the New York Post, she was thrown out because of her misconduct, not because of her filming. Moreover, the source claimed that she hit the officers.
Lisa Ann claimed that Matt Rife is her friend. According to the TMZ article, at the time, the two worked together on a radio show without having met before, so she hoped to do so that night.
A few days later, Kendra Lust posted an Instagram photo from Matt Rife’s Detroit performance and wrote that the night was marked by “lots of laughs and no handcuffs.” Entertainment websites read this post as a mockery toward Lisa Ann.
Matt Rife became popular with his crowd-working videos on TikTok. He signed a contract with Creative Artists Agency in 2022. In 2023, Rife’s stand-up special “Natural Selection” faced public criticism due to its opening joke about domestic abuse. In August 2026, Rife was criticized due to his response on Instagram to an autistic man telling him to “get off this planet.” It was deleted.
Lisa Ann, known for her legal name Lisa Ann Corpora, is famous for her 2008 parodic adult movie on Sarah Palin. She announced her retirement from adult movies in 2014 but returned in 2018. Since then, she hosted several shows on SiriusXM, including “Better Halves with Lisa Ann and Bret Raybould,” which started in 2023.
Kendra Lust, living in Michigan, made another post about visiting Matt Rife’s performance in Detroit in November 2025.
