Porn star Phoenix Marie sues Pornhub owner Aylo claiming she was forced to ... trends now
A top adult film actress is suing Pornhub owners Aylo and a director after she was allegedly forced to continue with an orgy scene after her co-star overdosed on set.
Melissa Hutchison, who performs as Phoenix Marie, claims bosses tried to blacklist her after the traumatic incident in 2023, despite actually saving the actress' life.
She is suing director Danny Martin along with Aylo and others for $80million, claiming she was subjected to a smear campaign afterwards which lead to her losing out on big brand deals with the likes of sex toy maker Fleshlight.
She says her ordeal began when her co-star, an actress named Zaawaadi, ingested too much lithium during a shoot in Barcelona.
Hutchison alleges director and fellow porn star Martin, aka Danny D, then forced her to carry on with a scene despite her castmate nearly dying.

'Danny D forcibly grabbed Hutchison and forbade her from leaving the set demanding that she finish the scene [...] she was forced by Danny D to have sex despite repeatedly saying no,' the lawsuit states.
She also alleges that Martin was hesitant to call an ambulance and later threw her 'onto the floor saying, 'we need to get out story straight''.
The trauma of the situation left her with 'anxiety, panic attacks, sleepless nights, and sexual dysfunction', according to Hutchison.
She also claims executives tried to pin the lithium on her, by falsely painting her as an 'unhinged, grieving mother' who had become reliant on the drug to medicate following the death of her daughter in 2019.
Hutchison's filings allege the lithium belonged to Martin's girlfriend, but that Martin began a 'false narrative that Hutchison had poisoned and almost killed Zaawaadi'.
'Instead of looking at facts, however, the porn conglomerate launched a coverup; executives made Hutchison a scapegoat for the life-threatening incident on one of their sets,'
