Video footage of an ex-porn star goes viral after she was dragged out of a Matt Rife show by security guards at Radio City Music Hall.
NYPD officers took Lisa Ann away after ushers kicked her out of the venue for allegedly using her phone during last night's show.
“I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't touch my phone, I wanted to see Matt Rife because he's a friend of mine,” she screamed in the video.
Ann shared the footage on her X account (formerly Twitter) last night and posted photos of the arrest earlier today.
“I have no words for what I just went through. Traumatic, unnecessary and extreme are at the top of my list of feelings,” she wrote in an X post.

Rife and Ann are long-time friends and previously hosted a radio show together. She sat in the second row of his Radio City Music Hall show before being kicked out
Ann was sitting in the second row at Radio City Music Hall last night and took a photo from her seat just before the show began.
She claimed she put her phone away just before the show, but one of her friends looked at her phone to look at a text message.
Eight ushers soon asked her to leave the venue and police eventually escorted her away.
Police handcuffed Ann around 10:20 p.m. and told her she could go to jail or be taken to the 5150 Detention Center at a nearby hospital.
NYPD officers later told her that there was no one to take her to the police station and that they would have to call an ambulance.
Ann had been handcuffed on 6th Avenue for 45 minutes before the ambulance arrived.
However, the ambulance left shortly after after the paramedic on scene refused to take her into custody at the hospital.
According to police officials, there may be a different side to the story than what Ann says on social media.

NYPD officers said Ann behaved disorderly and combative after she was told not to videotape at Radio City Music Hall.
Officers also thought that Ann appeared to be “crazy” and that she may have been having a “psychiatric episode” due to her “erratic behavior.”
Venue staff also admitted that the former porn star had a few alcoholic drinks.
Ann has received support from social media users on X and Instagram, including adult film star Misha Montana.

Social media users are supporting Ann for what she went through, while others feel some details were left out about what really led to her being kicked out and arrested
“Lisa, I'm so sorry this happened to you, it's outrageous!” “Sending you so much love and support,” Montana wrote on X.
Another user believes that “some crucial scenes” were missed.
However, other users are choosing to stand by her and have even slammed the NYPD for their actions.
“I would never let something like that happen to you around me,” another X user wrote.
“If I were there, I would have gotten you out of there.” “Thank you for always being an inspiration to me.”
