A former P0rn star has accused Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg of ruining her adult film career by allowing lies that she was born a man to be spread on Facebook.
According to DailyMail, Paree La’Tiejira, aka Lady Paree, filed a $1 billion federal lawsuit in the southern district of Texas against the social media site and its CEO accusing them of libel and
intentional infliction of emotional distress after receiving numerous death threats over Facebook.
La’Tiejira – a 41-year-old biological female – says she moved in Los Angeles to pursue a career in the P0rn industry in 1993. Two years later, she moved to Houston, Texas.
In 2009, she sued Leisure Time Entertainment and a man named Mark C Carriere in Indiana court, accusing them of publishing false and defamatory statements claiming she was born with both male and female body parts.
Both of those defendants in the case were in the P0rn industry, with Carriere being known at one point as ‘The King of P0rn’.
The Internet Adult Film Database lists 40 P0rn movies that Lady Paree appeared in between 1991 and 1997. Titles include Sweet Cheeks 108, Maneaters 106, Da Booty Call, and Gazongas 5.
La’Tiejira, who is currently unemployed, claimed that the statements caused her to be battered and assaulted by fans and has been at risk for violent interactions ever since.
At one point, she now claims in court documents, an ex-fan slashed her with a knife, slicing her face open from her left temple to her lower chin on the left side, while declaring she used to be a man.
The incident left her with injuries that required 150 stitches and cosmetic surgery. She says she still has a scar that is visible on the left side of her face.
During the 2009 trial, the court found that La’Tiejira was in fact born a woman and had never undergone surgeries to alter her biological $ex.
In January 2010 she was awarded $2.5 million in compensatory damages and $50,000 in punitive damages.
But following the suit, La’Tiejira claims that the defendants continued to publish false statements that she was born a man through Facebook pages operated and managed by the social media site and Zuckerberg.
‘Such intentional, malicious, or grossly negligent publication by defendants has caused her economic and compensatory damages, as well as emotional distress and physical pain so severe that she has had to seek professional assistance to cope with the damages caused by Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg,’ court documents state.
She claims that false publications regarding her biological $ex have negatively impacted, if not effectively ended, her acting career in the adult entertainment industry.
La’Tiejira says that promoters, producers and filmmakers have ceased making any offers to her.
She claims that she continues to be at risk, receiving hate mail and death threats from people who
The former P0rn star is demanding $1billion in damages, claiming Zuckerberg and Facebook caused her to suffer and continue to make her suffer.
La’Tiejira doesn’t point to specific posts or stories she takes issue with ,but she does list a defendant named Kyle Anders, along with unnamed defendants she labels, ‘ficticious defendants A, B, C’.
According to public records a woman with La’Tiejira’s name and birth date has a rap sheet that includes a 2002 charge of engaging in organized criminal activity and another from the same year of tampering with government records.
Also, according to court documents, she has used at least 20 aliases.
When contacted by DailyMail.com, La’Tiejira asked how we got her phone number. When told that she had signed her name directly over it on the court document, she said; ‘You’re good,’ and hung up.
