World Cup 2018: ‘World’s hottest fan’ Natalya Nemchinova denies she was ever a porn star and says video tape was leaked by her ex
The sexy supporter was snapped cheering on her beloved national team but has strongly denied allegations of her pornographic past
The stunning Russian supporter who was labelled a porn star has denied ever being involved in the porn industry and says the X-rated video she starred in was actually a home video leaked online by her ex.
Natalya Nemchinova, 28, was dubbed the prettiest Russian football fan when she was caught by an eagle-eyed photographer wearing a traditional Russian 'kokoshnik' on her head and a revealing crop-top.
Netizens soon found saucy images and even porn videos starring Natalya online and she became known as a porn star.
Natalya has now broken her the silence for the first time saying she was crying all night after she saw herself dubbed a porn star in the media.
She told reporters: "In fact this is a very old story. I was in a relationship with a young man five years ago.
"When we broke up he got back at me. He uploaded a home video to the internet and that is how it began.

"I never worked as a porn actress, I never sold my body for cash. I was a model for some time, but that was my hobby, not a steady job."

Her friends told her about the media attention she had received.
Natalya said: "I was shocked by all this, I even cried, I am lucky that there are people who support me and who know who I am."
