"When you see the movie Deep Throat, you are watching me being raped," she said. [View all]

"It is a crime that movie is still showing. Chuck kept a gun in his pocket and would click the trigger, letting me know what would happen if I did not look convincing."

Deep Throat cost $30,000 to make back in 1972 and it made more than $600 million dollars, making it the most lucrative film ever made. Linda Boreman only got a paltry $1,200 out of it. But her ex-husband and his mafia buddies sure as hell lived large. They suffered none of the health consequences to their bodies and damage to their psyches that the women they chewed up and spit out in their filthy industry did and continue to do. In her middle-aged years, Linda Susan Boreman suffered a double mastectomy as a direct result of the “boob jobs” and silicone injections that she was coerced into getting by the men who profited handsomely off of the degradation and abuse of her body for other men’s entertainment.”


The people who can't seem to stop spewing the word 'consent' as if they have any deeper understanding of what it means beyond the frighteningly facile 'well there's no cops there! she'd be screaming no if she didn't want it! she signed a contract! she got paid! so it must be legal and she wanted it so shut up lol!' kind of shit... well I'll just stop there. Don't want to get a post hidden.
