In this episode, we're addressing a grave issue that has surfaced in the adult film industry. A controversial studio called FacialAbuse stands accused by several models who allege that their consent was ignored and they were subjected to emotional and physical abuse and even injuries during shoots.

Our guest for this discussion is Paul Mulholland, an investigative journalist who has spent two years investigating FacialAbuse and their other studios. His insights and findings form the backbone of our conversation today.

We will delve into the specifics of these allegations, the studio's response, the impact on victims, and the potential implications for the adult film industry. This situation underscores the critical importance of consent and safety in all workplaces, a topic we will explore in depth.

Please note, this video contains mature content and discussions of sexual violence. Viewer discretion is advised.

Let’s stop sugarcoating it: porn is a toxic trash heap, and pretending it’s acceptable is pure self-deception. It feeds off desperation, thrives on abuse, and destroys real human connection. Every time someone hits play, they are funding an industry built on exploitation, trafficking, and degrading human dignity—all just to chase a fleeting, fake high.
If you’re hooked on it or defending it, you’re not just wasting your own life; you’re complicit in an unethical mess that ruins your brain and kills your capacity for actual love. It’s pathetic, it’s destructive, and it’s time to grow up, take accountability, and shut it down for good.

Finally people are talking about this. Their videos were always terrifying to see and they were everywhere over sites in the early 2000’s.

Could you imagine putting that on your job history application? Yeah, I worked for facial abuse for three years.. 🤦‍♂ "what's that?"

Thank you so much for your work! The world needs more such empathetic men like you two , especially in industries like the sex industry to break the cycles of mistreatment, exploitation, abuse and crime that causes so much trauma and pain in this world

This man quite clearly has second hand trauma from his investigation. It's palpable. And that says a lot. I feel for him, and I am glad there are still some decent men around willing to call out abuse.

I wonder if these type of companies could be hit by OSHA regulations?

Emotional abuse in a normal day to day relationship is like a verbal abuse that is demeaning or challenging you to react in physical attack. Its done consistantly even when it seems like it is not thier intent to abuse ( yet is still participated in at the time).

Thanks for taking the lid off.. this booming industry. The LAW.. appears to be an alien word out here!
Rightly said - "underreported stories"
Enough for one to be disillusioned, and disenchanted with.. the so-called reported stories, once you discover how unreliable..it all could be.
NEVER WITHOUT RISKS, Your kind of work.
You can well imagine, HOW IGNORANT ARE WE... in countries where Porn happens to be illegal.
Surely they're missing a lot!

@charlieboxi550 2 years ago

This story needs to be made public, the victims should come forward and let everyone know what's been going on 😅

My y friend that started dating a porn star. for years he tried online dating, single meet up, going out all over the place etc, but could never find a girlfriend. When he finally met this girl, he was so lonely for such a long time that he forced himself to deal with her past in pornography. At first it didn't bother him but the more he fell in love with her, the more it started to eat away at him. It's gotten so bad that it started effecting his relationship with her. I tried telling him that hes going to end up pushing her away if he can't figure out a way to move past it. The worst thing he could have done to himself was watch that damn facial video.. smh

One thing I’ve learned about the Facial Abuse series is that some people will swear up and down "its BDSM". "It’s just people being kinky and freaky." "If you’re against it then you’re kink or fetish shaming". Some people are so dense and ignorant it’s exhausting trying to educate them. I respect the work you guys are doing to expose them and bring their scumminess to light. I’ve been assaulted by men who watch Facial Abuse and think that’s how sexual encounters should be. It’s terrifying.
