“I do feel like after the Yeezy thing
that was like a total different shift
and I became even more accepted.”
Reid’s most viral meme may be “Oh Fuck, Put It Back In.” But if that is No.
1, her “Oh Fuck Yeah, Spread It” one isn’t far behind.
“That’s like one of the newer ones,” she jokes. “I laugh. I love it. … It’s so
funny to me. I meet some fans on the internet and they’re like, ‘I didn’t know
you do porn. You’re a meme star.’
“People think I make them. People think I’m this meme person, which is
hilarious to me. I think it’s amazing. None of them are insulting to me or
anything. I don’t feel I’m getting a lot of hate or anything like that. I like it. I
think it’s fun. I encourage it.”
As Reid continues to build her empire—her premium Snapchat account
through FanCentro has emerged as her main source of monthly income—
she is becoming a natural ambassador for the industry, opening doors for
mainstream artists to collaborate with her, whether it’s as a guest creative
director for a ReidMyLips production or in other ways.
Last year she appeared on notorious YouTuber Logan Paul’s “Inpaulsive”
podcast, which had 2.6 million views on YouTube at press time; internationally
known DJ and record producer Diplo attended the 2019 AVN Awards thanks
to his acquaintance with her; and even actor Macaulay Culkin tweeted a
joke at her.
She says her Yeezy sweatshirt—a collaboration with Kanye West that
launched at the Pornhub Awards in September, introduced her to a larger
audience.
“I do feel like after the Yeezy thing that was like a total different shift and I
became even more accepted,” she says.
Through it all, Reid remains a sweetheart in person—whether she’s on the
set, at a convention or in the gym.
Her agent, Mark Spiegler, says directors like to hire Reid not only because
of her bankable performances, but also because “she’s just so nice.”
“Spiegler always tells me being nice gets you a long way and I agree,”
Reid says. “But I think it’s also just being true. I’m not just fake nice. I don’t
know how to fake it.”
