Melissa Stratton Talks About Split From 'Hot Ones' Host Sean Evans, Admits Porn Career Was Reason For Split

Melissa Stratton confirmed what most had already suspected about her Valentine's Day breakup with Hot Ones host Sean Evans.  The attention surrounding her porn career was too hot for the YouTube talk show host to handle, and he called it off. 

TMZ caught up with the talented model and adult entertainer on Friday in Los Angeles.  She filled in some of the details surrounding her brief relationship with Evans, in person and on camera.  There's no doubt in her mind that her adult entertainer activities led to the breakup.

Despite discussions about her career ahead of getting into a relationship and Evans' willingness to move forward, Stratton said, "We definitely talked about what I did before.  I mean I was always concerned with his image and how it would affect him.  He said it was okay."

When asked why they ended up going their separate ways, if he was okay with her career, Stratton said that Evans must have thought they could fly under the radar.  She said, "Well, I think… maybe you feel like you can fly under the radar or like it's going to be okay, but I think when the heat really comes down to it, it was a lot."

Working heat into her response was an incredible move on Stratton's part.  How could she not?  She had a public split from a guy who deals with heat for a living.  The least you can do is have some fun with it.

Melissa Stratton Is Going To Be Just Fine, Both Professionally And Personally

For anyone worried about Stratton, she's doing just fine.  She has no hard feelings towards Evans after their relationship of a couple of months fell apart and business is booming for her.

Searches for her content are through the roof, and she's reaping the reward of the increased interest in her work.  While that wasn't her goal from all of this, she'll take it.

When it comes to love, Stratton will be taking a break from that, for now.  She posted a video of herself hanging out with Johnny Sins shortly after the breakup, but says there's no one special in her life at the moment.

The self-described "relationship girl" is waiting for that perfect match.
