A former porn actress has accused fellow porn star James Deen of
sexually assaulting her on set — the second woman to come forward with
damning allegations against Deen since Stoya claimed her ex-lover raped
her.
"James Deen ruthlessly attacked and degraded me, leaving me with mental wounds that took years to heal," Tori Lux said of Deen.
The 29-year-old porn actor allegedly grabbed Lux's throat,shoved her on
a mattress and hit her repeatedly after shooting a porn flick in 2011,
she described in a lengthy first-person accountshared with the Daily Beast.
“I hadn’t even had time to dress myself when (Deen) said, with a smirk
on his face, ‘Tori Lux, would you like to sniff my testicles?’” Lux
recalled of the terrifying encounter.
She said no, but Deen repeated his question a second time and much more "aggressively.”
“I replied with a firm ‘No,’ in order to establish my boundary — which
James then disregarded by grabbing me by the throat and shoving me down
onto a mattress on the floor,” Lux wrote.
He proceeded to pin her by straddling her chest and hit her face “five or six times," she added.
"Hard — before finally getting off of me.”
The terrifying account mirrors an encounter his ex-girlfriend, Stoya,
later had with Deen shared publicly over the weekend in two tweets.
“That thing where you log in to the internet for a second and see
people idolizing the guy who raped you as a feminist. That thing sucks,”
Stoya tweeted.
“James Deen held me down and f---ed me while I said no, stop, used my
safeword,” she added. “I just can’t nod and smile when people bring him
up anymore.”
Stoya gave no other details about the alleged rape and indicated she’d
give no further comment, writing that she will be “mostly offline till
17 Dec. For work.”
Another one of Deen’s ex-girlfriends and porn colleagues, Joanna Angel,
quickly stood by Stoya’s side, tweeting to her: “You have my support
@stoya. I’m here for you.”
Others on social media banded behind her with the hashtag #solidaritywithstoya.
Deen waited one day to address Stoya’s claims, deeming the allegations not only “egregious,” but bogus.
“There have been some egregious claims made against me on social
media,” Deen wrote at 8 p.m. “I want t
o assure my friends, fans and
colleagues that these allegations are both false and defamatory. I
respect women and I know and respect limits both professionally and
privately.”
Minutes after Lux's claims went online at midnight Monday, Deen's
publicist, Howard Bragman, said he had no comment at the time.
After Stoya’s tweets, the editor of the women's lifestyle website The Frisky swiftly announced the end of Deen’s advice column there.
“Like so many rape cases, this will very likely be a ‘he said/she said’ situation,” Amelia McDonell-Parry wrote on the site.
“And as I tweeted last night, today and every day, I BELIEVE WOMEN.”
Stoya did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Deen and Stoya, both 29 and among the most famous names in porn, dated
in 2013 but broke up the next year for reasons unknown. The two filmed
several sex scenes together.
Days before her accusations, a sex scene featuring Deen and another woman was posted on TrenchCoatx, a porn site Stoya co-runs.
