Allegations and Defenses in the Adult Film Industry

After the accusation by some porn actresses who accused Rocco Siffredi of violence and exploitation on international adult film sets, former porn star Milena Mastromarino, known to the public by her stage name Malena, defends the actor: ‘As far as I am concerned, personally, I have never felt violated or exploited. Perhaps my name was used a bit more, but that I physically suffered this: absolutely not.’ The former actress from Gioia del Colle (Ba), interviewed by Luisella Costamagna during last night’s episode of the TV program ‘Tango’ on Rai 2, illustrated her experience in response to allegations of alleged violence on film sets in Hungary by Rocco Siffredi, recently covered by the TV show ‘Le Iene’, which interviewed some former debutantes of the hardcore genre cinema. ‘As far as I am concerned, personally, I have never felt violated or exploited,’ declared the former Italian adult film star, ‘Perhaps my name was used a bit more, but that I physically suffered this: absolutely not.’ Lorenzo Tano and Lucrezia Lando are getting married, and Rocco Siffredi wants to become a grandfather: ‘Maybe a granddaughter.’ Some women, interviewed by Le Iene, spoke of the physical and psychological abuses suffered during the shootings. Spitting, violence, agreed limits then exceeded in front of the cameras. They also explained that consent videos, mandatory in an industry like hard, were often shot before the scene or were completely missing. All this, according to some actresses interviewed by the program Le Iene, would have been a constant in the backstage of Rocco Siffredi’s films. ‘I said: ‘I don’t want to do it.’ He kept spitting on me and said: ‘You see you like it, bitch?’ declared a girl. ‘For me, it was a full-fledged rape. A double violence, in front of the cameras,’ she then explained. The actor and director defended himself by stating that it would be ‘An international conspiracy against me. My sexuality is strong and violent, but it has always been consensual. I am not a perverted rapist.’
