In brief: On Sept. 28, the No Jumper host replied to a viral post from someone who hadn’t known that Euphoria actress Chloe Cherry used to work in adult film.
Most people would remember working with a future HBO star. Adam22, by his own account, needed his wife to fill in the blanks.
On Sept. 28, the No Jumper host replied to a viral post from someone who hadn’t known that Euphoria actress Chloe Cherry used to work in adult film. Adam22’s contribution, in wording we’ll politely summarize: he filmed OnlyFans content with Cherry in 2018, then “watched Euphoria a couple years later and didn’t remember until Lena told me.” Lena being Lena the Plug, his wife. He followed up with a clarification that somehow made it worse:
“That’s not an insult to her btw it’s just easy to forget who you’ve done porn with sometimes bc in this case I was only around her for like a half an hour and we barely talked.”
The reveal got a megaphone from the most predictable place imaginable: his own brand. The No Jumper account wrote it up as news, and that post passed 2.9 million views. HotNewHipHop covered it the same day, and Complex followed on Sept. 29, noting that the post landed while Adam22 and Lena the Plug are separated after three years of marriage.
Cherry’s past isn’t a secret. HotNewHipHop noted she is no longer in the adult industry.
Why it matters, in our read: performers who cross over into mainstream acting rarely get to retire their back catalogs. Somebody else can always pull them out, usually someone with a podcast to promote. And Adam22’s post wasn’t really about Cherry at all. It was about Adam22, which is the No Jumper business model in one sentence. Cherry’s mainstream career is the reason anyone cared.
The kicker: a man whose whole job is talking about other people’s lives forgot one of his own scenes. Lena, apparently, keeps better records.
