Adriana Chechik, who has been described as “one of the most famous names in porn”, has had to face the consequences after not paying her taxes for years.
She joined the adult film industry 10 years ago in 2013 when she was 21 years old, and now makes a living playing video games on the live-streaming platform Twitch.
In a recent interview, Adriana confessed that she had to pay back the US Government $1 million (£800,000) plus lawyer fees after not paying taxes for six years.
She spoke with Ryan Pownall from the highly popular podcast PillowTalk, in which celebrities speak about “all things sex-related.”
In the podcast, Ryan speaks about how much money Adiana has made through sex work, and said: “So you’re rich as s**t obviously.”

Adriana replied: “I’ll tell you guys the truth. Three years ago, right before the pandemic, I had not paid about six years of f***ing taxes.”
Ryan appeared startled by this news, and said: “Oh, so you got hit.”
Adriana replied that as of two days ago she was “completely settled up to this year with the government” and said she had to pay $1 million in taxes.
She added: “And I had a legal team of seven people helping me get it down as low as possible. They had to be paid $470,000 (£375,000).”
Ryan looked shocked and yelled “Oh no!” before calculating the total cost, and said: “$1.5 million, that’s a scene.”
On social media, fans were shocked by Adriana’s money troubles, but some people were not sympathetic.
One commentator wrote: Are we supposed to congratulate you for paying your taxes like everyone else does?!?”
A second person argued: “Taxation is theft” while somebody else wrote: “I wish our taxes just went to better things [to be honest].”
However, other people praised Adiana for her honesty, as one fan wrote: “I love how down to Earth she is.”
Another user commented: “Holy s**** I did not know Adiana was so cool and talented. Respect to a working woman.”
Adriana made international headlines in October last year after she broke her back on camera while diving into a foam pitch at TwitchCon, the annual live-streaming convention.
Adriana had to undergo surgery and get a rod implant due to her injuries, and the received a lot of support online after the incident.
She has revealed she discovered she was pregnant when she was taken to hospital for treatment, and that her pregnancy had to be terminated due to her injuries.
In her first livestream after the injury, Adriana said: “I was pregnant, and I didn’t know until I was in the hospital, so I also have, like, crazy hormones. I’m not pregnant anymore because of the surgery. “
She has asked people online for privacy while recovering and wrote on Twitter: “Guys, please respect my healing at this time. Any talk of what I should do to these companies or who I need to be mad at is not apart of how I want to heal…I am human and I do see this and I am currently pushing hard to heal!”
