A three-year-old run-in at Radio City Music Hall has turned into a fresh war of words between Lisa Ann and Matt Rife.

Back in 2023 the adult film star was escorted out of the comedian's New York show in handcuffs. Speaking on a recent episode of "Veterans Minimum" she claimed Rife has spent the past year showing the video of NYPD officers detaining her ahead of every one of his sets.

She said friends and fans still text her about the clip a few times each week.

Banned from Dolan venues

Lisa insisted she was not using her phone that night. She also said she is now barred from every property owned by James Dolan because of the venues' facial recognition system — and that includes the Sphere in Las Vegas.

She took a personal swipe at Rife too. In her view his decision to keep the footage in the show proves he is obsessed with her. "He should get a new act," she said.

Rife answered with a joke of his own: "Yes, babe, that's it ... I was too nervous to perform for you so I had you arrested." He added in a separate post that she was removed because she "broke the rules" and "got detained."

At the time she was held for about 45 minutes before being let go according to reports. A source connected to the venue claimed she was disorderly and there was said to be footage of her using her phone before officers led her out.

Neither Lisa nor a representative for Rife has responded to a request for comment.
