Lisa Ann Says Matt Rife Still Uses Their 2023 Incident in His Comedy Set

Lisa Ann says comedian Matt Rife continues to bring up the incident that led to her being escorted from his 2023 Radio City Music Hall show. In remarks featured in the source, she said she was handcuffed outside the venue and claimed that Rife now uses the episode as an opening story at his performances. Ann said she regularly hears from people who have attended Rife’s shows and tell her that he has retold the story. She questioned why he continues to use her name as material and argued that, after several years, he should find a new subject for his act. Her comments suggest the dispute has not faded for her, despite the passage of time. She also alleged that she is barred from properties connected to James Dolan and said facial-recognition systems prevent her from entering them, mentioning the Sphere as an example. Ann characterized the ongoing situation as a form of public humiliation and suggested Rife’s repeated references keep attention on her. According to her account, a friend had bought tickets to the show where the original incident occurred, and Ann said she was caught up in the situation. She further claimed that Rife made the episode part of his comedy material because he viewed it as a chance to embarrass her. The source does not include a response from Rife to her latest remarks.
