Yeah, who cares. Just tell Stoya to start providing.
Stoya, Tori Lux, Ashley Fires, et al., or James Deen?
Two sides to every story and all, but having watched scenes he's been in and read his blog, I can kind of see him having boundary issues.
Stay tuned...
Let me add that by "see him having boundary issues" I mean I personally don't believe him.
I don't know all the people involved but I've met Stoya and conversed with her enough to think that her story might not be true (she can be a little... difficult) except for the fact that Joanna Angel is supporting her. I know Joanna Angel - she wouldn't support someone unless the person was telling the truth. The fact that so many women have come out to speak against him... well, there must be grains of truth in there. But how much? Hard to tell
I've seen some of his vids. He can be... rough. That being said, Stoya said something about a "safe word", which says to me that they were role-playing and someone might've went to far. But if they were doing rough role-play on the routine, who's o say wha really happened between the two.

If you follow porn long enough, not just the vids of girls fucking, but follow the gossips, business side of things, etc....it's a common belief that like 50% of the male talent hate women or in other words are misogynists. So there you go.
I've had conversations with a couple of providers in the past who have worked with him including one who who ran the same circles as him when they were younger and they had told me that James was very professional to work with. I can see however from his old scenes at Kink that he can be extremely rough to say the least bordering on misogynistic

I know Tori and she isn't one to exagerate or speak ill of people. If she is coming forward and speaking up, it certainly isn't a false claim nor an attempt to garner attention. It is likely something done reluctantly and to prevent further harm coming to others.
I'm not passing final judgement until I see more of the facts but I find it intriguing why these ladies waited so long to come forward. One of the accounts is over four years old. That usually raises some red flags.
I recall now that a PS I'm fond of who was being interviewed and the topic was about male talent, male divas or whatever and I remember her saying she worked with James Deen and would never work with him again because he was too rough with her and an asshole.
Deen is only as rough as the role requires. He's done hundreds of "genteel" scenes. The fact of the matter is that the majority of porn women prefer rough to various degrees.
I think it probably has to do with James Deen being a popular male talent in the industry and in the non-porn world and that means him having some power/influence over people.

You make some good points but you should never delay accusations against anyone. It leads to more doubt in most cases.
As far as him being extra rough and an asshole, I have no doubt. I saw him at a Exxxotica. He is a little turd at 5-6 140 tops and walked around like he owned the place.
