Her original tweet

“People knew,” Raphael said. “A lot of people knew. I don’t think everyone knew. And some people had really good experiences with him, but that doesn’t mean anything.” Performers let each other know what they had heard about Deen, she said. “I remember getting ready for my first gang bang, and I was talking to people – what should I know, I’ve never done this before, I was really nervous, do you have any tips? And two people were like: put James Deen on your ‘no’ list” – the performers she would not do scenes with.

“I was proud of her,” porn performer Sydney Leathers told me, after reading Stoya’s tweets. “That’s a bold thing to do.” Leathers started performing in porn not long after the press outed her as the sexting partner of then US congressman Anthony Weiner. When she got into the business, she was advised about Deen, too, she said. At a convention in 2013, Leathers spoke with porn performer and producer Joanna Angel. “I remember one specific sentence she said: ‘He likes to try to break women.’ I found that troubling. And I knew that Joanna was serious. He’s always been on my ‘no’ list for that reason.”
