According to the publication, the Hot Ones host, 37, broke up with Melissa one day after the the outlet made their relationship public.
It appears Sean wasn’t happy with all the attention, even though he knew what his then girlfriend did for a living.
After being dumped — reportedly over the phone — Melissa took to X (formerly Twitter), writing, ‘Don’t try to date a [p— star] if you actually hate [p—]…’ in a now-deleted post, according to Page Six.
The Girl In The Basement star later shared a TikTok video of herself and fellow adult movie actor Johnny Sins writing, ‘It’s ok I’ve got a better bald man to get spicy with @mosttalentedbaldman.’
Sean took a bit of heat for his actions.
‘Who dumps a girl on Valentine’s Day? Smh not cool,’ one person commented on his Instagram page.
‘It was a sex worker, all fair,’ said another.
Another summed up the hit that kind of relationship could have on his career this way; ‘Dating a pornstar?’ they asked. ‘Seeing you in a whole new light…and it’s not good at all. Good thing I was already mostly over Hot Ones.’
The couple attended Super Bowl LVIII and several related activities last weekend in Las Vegas

Pornhub is one of the most popular sites for hard core viewing attracting 3.5 billion visitors a month.
The website came under fire after a 2020 investigation by Nicholas Kristoff at the New York Times.
The investigation found users were monetizing videos of women being raped, and under-aged girls being molested or blackmailed into sex acts. According to the investigation, many of those kinds of videos were taken down by the Canadian-owned company, but quickly uploaded again.
Pornhub’s terms of service prohibits content featuring anyone under the age of 18 or ‘depicting underage sexual activity, non-consensual sexual activity, revenge porn, blackmail, intimidation, snuff, torture, death, violence, incest, racial slurs, or hate speech,’ but the investigation discovered these terms were difficult to enforce in light of the large amount of content uploaded to the site daily.
