A viral video of Lena The Plug and her husband Adam22 / lenatheplug Porn actress Lena Nersesian, known online as “Lena The Plug,” and her husband, podcaster Adam Grandmaison, known as “Adam22,” are considered one of the most provocative couples on the internet. They have been together for a decade, married in Tuscany last May, and have a five-year-old daughter together. Even so, their public image has been tied mainly to one viral scandal that drew harsh criticism.

The couple, who make their living in the adult industry and interview creators in the field on their joint podcast, long maintained an iron rule: Lena would not film scenes with other men unless Adam was participating in them himself. Everything changed when Adam allowed his wife to film a scene alone with another actor while he watched from the side. The move was intended to draw views and attention, but instead made them the target of public mockery and a wave of memes that portrayed Adam in a humiliating light. In an interview she gave at the time, Lena explained that after seven years with her husband, a new experience seemed interesting to her.

The relentless public pressure, it seemed, did its work. On Lena’s 35th birthday, it was reported that she had filed for divorce from her husband after rumors of financial control on his part. Leaked documents indicated that the two had allegedly separated on April 15, 2026. Lena, according to reports, sought sole custody of their daughter and complained that she was unemployed and living on a modest $3,000 a month in alimony. In addition, she reportedly demanded half of the couple’s real estate assets, estimated at $1.15 million (about 4.3 million shekels), and half of their production studio, valued at $1.1 million (about 4.1 million shekels).

The mysterious envelope that changed everything Adam’s response was not long in coming. He posted a short story on social media with the word “freedom,” and even took a swipe by offering to buy cars for women who wanted to date him. But just before the legal battle turned ugly, the troubling truth was revealed.

Lena posted a video in which she stated that she had never filed for divorce, and that she and her husband were completely in love. According to her, she learned about her own breakup in the media, along with everyone else. It turned out that an unidentified person had stolen the star’s identity and filed the documents in her name.

Lena said she opened her mailbox and found divorce documents that had been rejected by the Los Angeles court. The documents contained her name, her address, her daughter’s date of birth, and even a $435 check paid for the filing fee. Lena recognized the name that appeared on the court documents. It was a man the police had already told her about before, a mentally unstable man who believes he is in a romantic relationship with her after falling victim to online impersonation.

The same harasser even went so far as to call police to Lena’s home in the past, claiming that her husband was abusing her. Police confirmed that the star had indeed reported identity theft and forgery.

Cynical exploitation of the drama Despite the fear and shock over the identity theft, it became clear that the couple did not rush to extinguish the fire. Adam admitted that they immediately recognized it was a fake from the familiar harasser, and although Lena wanted to deny the rumors right away, they decided to ride the wave.

The couple chose to stay silent and let the false reports run for several days in order to get free publicity before revealing the truth.

Amid all this, it is worth noting that the podcaster draws plenty of fire independently of his wife. Over the past several years he has faced a series of allegations of sexual misconduct from several women, including prominent reports in well-known magazines claiming that he pressured women into having sex with him. Adam has consistently denied the allegations, but the cloud over his head refuses to lift.
