In 2016, it was widely reported in the UK media that residents of St George, Bristol opposed planned changes to a building that Barry's husband Phil ran as an adult film studio (Bristol Film Studios) since 1995 and that Cathy Barry worked from into a multiple occupancy house. Residents were concerned that short term rental contracts would attract people who would not integrate with the community. The changes went ahead. Phil Barry had produced and directed multiple videos featuring his wife.
