Pornstar James Deen, who was issued California state citations and fines for allegedly exposing his employees to sexually transmitted infections, has filed a Cal/OSHA complaint against Bellator MMA and its parent company, Viacom.
Deen has been under investigation since Dec. 8 for alleged violations of condom and workplace safety laws. Deen’s company, Third Rock Enterprises, has accrued citations of nearly $80,000 for failing to use condoms during filming and for not providing vaccines or medical examinations to its employees who could have been exposed to various STDs, an allegation that Deen denies.
“Not one person was exposed to or contracted any illness on my sets,” said Deen, who has directed and starred in numerous adult films, said in a recent statement.
