Stoya and Deen dated in 2013 and into 2014. Another of Deen’s ex-girlfriends, porn star Joanna Angel, who was involved with Deen from 2004 to 2010, tweeted her support of Stoya.

Lux Alptraum, a writer and comedian, also called out Deen and claimed that Stoya was “one of many.”

Stoya’s accusations of Deen holding her down and ignoring her safe word left fans and colleagues divided, with some rallying behind the hashtag #standwithstoya and showing their support, while others asked for evidence before believing her claims.

Deen has done interviews on his feminist views in the past. However, fans also pointed out Deen’s history of making rape jokes on Twitter.

Deen’s column on the Frisky has been discontinued, as well as ads linking to his site from the publication. Sex comic site OhJoySexToy also tweeted that it will be removing affiliate links and editing comics that feature him.
