Porn star loses column over rape accusation [View all]

30 November 2015

After an adult film star was accused of rape, the editor of an online magazine dedicated to pop culture and relationships has pulled his sex column.

Over the weekend, adult film star Stoya tweeted accusations that her former partner, the adult film star James Deen, had sexually assaulted her.

Since then, another adult film star made a similar accusation in the Daily Beast.

Deen has publicly denied these accusations, writing on his own Twitter account "these allegations are both false and defamatory."

It's a familiar pattern in cases of alleged sexual assault: woman makes accusation, man denies it. But the claims were enough for Amelia McDonnell-Parrey, editor-in-chief of online magazine The Frisky, to discontinue her working relationship with Deen, who contributed to a sex column on the site.

"We won't be publishing [Deen's column] going forward," wrote Mcdonnell-Parrey in a post explaining the decision.

"This makes it impossible for me to work with him any further, to give him a forum for giving advice that he is accused of not following himself."
