Melissa Stratton Deactivates Instagram Account
After her widely publicized split with "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans, Melissa Stratton has opted to deactivate her primary Instagram account. Attempts to access her profile result in an error message stating, "Sorry, this page isn't available."
Despite deleting her account, sources close to Stratton insisted that the adult entertainer did not make the move due to the online trolling she faced and that she remains on the platform under the adjusted username "@melissastratton."
According to a statement to Daily Mail, "Melissa's team had been working on getting the username changed back to her original profile for quite some time."
Per the source, the adjustment was aimed at combating fake accounts and impersonation, a common issue for individuals in the adult entertainment industry.
They explained: "While we can confirm she has received a massive amount of hate comments, DMs, and threats online, her username update was not a result of this. 'She's in good spirits and looking to move forward with new work and projects."
Nevertheless, her secondary account, featuring only three photos, remains active, as does her X (formerly on Twitter) account.

Stratton's decision to deactivate her main page comes after she publicly criticized Evans multiple times for ending their relationship on Valentine's Day despite their brief relationship becoming public knowledge only during the Super Bowl.
Reports claim that Evans decided to end things with Stratton due to the media frenzy surrounding their romance.
Following the breakup, which was allegedly done via text, Stratton posted about it on her Instagram Story last week, expressing her sentiments with a touch of sarcasm: "Well, happy Valentine's Day to me [insert eye-rolling emoji]."
In a subsequent post, she shared a lively video of herself and adult film star Johnny Sins jamming to a rap song in a car. In the caption, she wrote: "It's ok I've got a better bald man to get spicy with @mosttalentedbaldman."
The adult entertainer also went on X to call out Evans for his apparent "hate" toward p--- stars. In a retweet of a news article detailing their split, she cryptically remarked, "Don't try to date a [p--- star] if you actually hate [p---]."
In the comment, a fellow adult entertainer showed solidarity by sending a middle-finger emoji to Evans, affirming her support with a simple, "That's my girl ."
