Chelsea Handler has drawn the wrath of XXX legend Jenna Jameson, after criticizing Donald Trump in a tweet that mentioned porn stars, in the same breath as child molesters and wife beaters.
The former “Chelsea Lately” star published the tweet on Saturday, writing, “There is an entire generation of children who’s first memory of their President is a man who supports child molesters, wife beaters, Russian hacking and porn stars. It is our responsibility to make that a memory and not a consistency. We all have a moral obligation. Keep going.”
The “porn stars” portion of the tweet was a seeming reference to adult-entertainment actress Stormy Daniels, who gained notoriety earlier this year following reports that she was offered hush money to stay mum regarding a relationship with Trump before he ascended to the presidency. Daniels has been coy about whether the relationship actually took place, or whether hush money was paid out.
The lumping in of her former profession with criminal types didn’t set well with Jameson, who responded in part by asking, “May I suggest sobriety, Chelsea?”
“She just put pornstars in the same category as child molesters and domestic abusers. LET THAT SINK IN,” Jameson wrote Sunday. “Not very feminist of you. May I suggest sobriety, Chelsea? If you need a sponsor, I’m free.”
Jameson wasn’t the only one to weigh in on Handler’s tweet.
“Very Ignorant on your Part…Pornstars are in The Entertainment Business and pay Taxes just like you do,” adult performer Jessy Jones weighed in. “Stick to telling bad Jokes… Hun.”
Porn actress and model Sinn Sage weighed in, “SEE US! WE ARE PEOPLE TOO!”
“Shaming sex workers, equating sex work with abuse and treason, is shameful. I DO want a culture that supports ‘porn stars,’” read another response, which earned a thank-you response from performer Shyla Jennings, who replied, “I love seeing support for sex workers like myself. It’s awful that we still are discriminated against & apparently are thought as equals to child molesters..by even liberals.”
