They were once the porn industry’s glamour couple.
But now, two years since their relationship came to an end, rape allegations have emerged.
Adult actress Stoya made the serious claims on Twitter on Sunday, saying: “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.
“James Deen held me down and f–ked me while I said no, stop, used my safe word. I just can’t nod and smile when people bring him up anymore.”
Deen – who regularly speaks of his love and respect for women – responded on the social media site yesterday, vehemently denying the accusations.
“I respect women and I know and respect limits both professionally and privately,” he tweeted to his more than 200,000 followers.
“I want to assure my friends, fans and colleagues that these allegations are both false and defamatory.
“There have been some egregious claims made against me on social media.”
Deen, who proudly states in his Twitter profile that he “bang(s) chicks for a living”, is a well-known porn star and has appeared in 89 videos and TV shows in 2015 alone – including Nutz About Butts 2, Sex and Submission and Busty Housewives 5 – according to his IMDB profile.
He also starred alongside Lindsay Lohan in 2013 film The Canyons.
Deen’s popular sex advice column, published on The Frisky website, has been suspended due to the allegations, News Limited reports.
Stoya, who also runs her own business and regularly speaks out about issues affecting women in the porn industry, said on Twitter she was going offline for work reasons until December 17.
Since Stoya’s claims went public, two more female adult stars have come forward alleging they endured violent encounters with Deen, Complex reports.
Whether the claims will be proven is yet to be seen.
If so, it will be a large fall from grace for one of the porn industry’s biggest stars.

Will not be back here again- cannot blog on a website or read a website where people are allowed to be so cruel to rape survivors.
Peace out MM
The statement The Frisky gave was beyond cool and should be published here - basically they say they/ you should ALWAYS believe the woman/rape victim. Thank you The Frisky!!!!
Truly one of the most disturbing things I have ever read.
Always?
So there is no such thing as a false allegation?
So we are meant to just blindly believe anything Stoya says, regardless if it is true or not? You do realise that Stoya's allegations have the ability to ruin James' career right? Or is that not important because he's only an adult entertainer?
Read their statement it's not disturbing at all. You're only disturbed because you're an MRA. I would not expect you to care about the truth.
James Dean has had many allegations made about him before, not only in the wake of Stoya. His production house has also come out in support of Stoya and said they will make it easier for victims to come forward, as it stands now, it is very hard for performers to report - sort of like what victims of rape go through outside of the adult entertainment industry.
You don't care about rape survivors, you only care about the very tiny amount of false allegations out there. Of those false allegations many are not false only have no evidence.
