James Deen is subject of more troubling allegations from a third female porn actress in wake of his ex-girlfriend, Stoya, claiming he raped her.
A second woman — also an adult film star — came forward with sexual assault claims on Monday, along with porn actress Ashley Fires, who told The Daily Beast he “almost raped” her.
“The reason I put him on my ‘no list’ was because he almost raped me,” said Fires. “The only time I’d ever seen this guy, he walked into the green room at Kink [studios], picks up Jessie Cox like a caveman, grabs her by the hair, and takes her off somewhere… and I can only imagine.”
Fires also stated that almost a year after the incident, Deen confronted Fires and asked her to “stop telling people about it.” After refusing to stay silent, Deen allegedly asked her to at least stop telling people the real reason as to why she won’t work with him.
“‘Okay, can you just say something else? Say that I remind you of your brother,’ is what he says — his advice to me — to tell people why I won’t work with him instead of the truth,” Fires said.
Fires’ accusation comes two days after Stoya took to Twitter to publicly accuse Deen of raping her.
Stoya, who is also an X-rated actress, dated Deen in 2013 and claims that he held her down and raped her, but did not reveal when the alleged attack happened.
“James Deen held me down and fucked me while I said no, stop, used my safe word,” she wrote. “I just can’t nod and smile when people bring him up anymore.”
Adult film actress Tori Lux recounted an alleged incident on June 2011, when she says Deen “ruthlessly attacked and degraded” her, “leaving me with mental wounds that took years to heal.”
Deen has denied the allegations on Twitter.
“There have been some egregious claims made against me on social media,” he wrote on Sunday. “I want to 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.”
His publicist told TheWrap that there is no additional statement.
