Pornhub legend Elsa Jean had her career exposed when her uncle left a comment on her first ever video.
The 26-year-old - whose real name is Sapphire Nicole Howell - has become a household name in the adult-film industry after working with the likes of Evil Angel, Digital Sin and Blacked.
Before she got into porn, she'd worked at a Starbucks before pursuing a career in stripping.

Then at the age 18, very much like Micah Richards' start in football, she burst onto the scene.
Despite her first Pornhub videos becoming an instant hit, she managed to keep her career secret from her family - until her uncle found out.
Not only did he find out but he also commented on the video.
"I don’t know how [my mum] found out, probably other family members," Elsa told Holly Randall on the Unfiltered podcast.

"I know at the very beginning… This is so sick but one of my uncles commented on my first scene on Pornhub.
"So I think that set my aunt off and I think she was the one that maybe exposed everything, I’m not sure.
"But yeah, they found out quick."
Elsa then went on to say that she 'talks to her mum about everything'... apart from sex.

The porn star then said that she was embarrassed when her mum found out about her losing her virginity.
"One time I wrote a note when I lost my virginity, like I love to journal and so I wrote a note about what had happened and my mum wrote a note back and said, ‘It’s okay, everything’s okay, I’m not upset or anything’," Elsa said.
"I was mortified that she knew I had sex so I can’t imagine talking to her about me shooting porn."
Although porn might feel like a guilty pleasure for some, researchers at Brigham Young University have concluded that watching it can have a negative effect on your relationships.

The scientists quizzed 3,500 people to find out the level of impact pornography had on romantic stability in a relationship.
The majority of the participants were 38 years old and had been in a relationship for nine years.
Dr Brian Willoughby, BYU School of Family Life professor and co-author of the study, said: “It’s true that the type of pornographic content may have larger negative effects on relationship well-being than others, and that men who are religious appear to be more impacted by watching pornography due to feelings of being out of harmony with their moral beliefs.
"But the fact remains that relationship stability is weakened by pornography usage for both men and women.

"Couples should know that viewing pornography is a risk factor in their relationship.
"I [had] assumed we were going to find it was maybe the aggressive, nonconsensual pornography that was affecting relationships.
"[But] we found there was no difference. Any pornography use or increase was always linked to less stability and less satisfaction in the relationship — no matter what other things we looked at."
