Porn Star Arrested On Animal Cruelty Charges: 'I Deny Any Allegations Of Abuse!'
April 22 2014, Published 7:22 a.m. ET
[expletive] star Stephanie Hird is speaking out against claims she tortured and killed rats, fish and other creatures in gruesome sex fetish videos.
“The news reports are false,” Hird, also known as Megan Jones, exclusively tells Breaking Celebrity News. “I deny any allegations of animal abuse, obviously.”
The brunette Arkansas resident, 29, was arrested in Miami on April 16 and charged with five counts of felony animal cruelty for her role in the “crush” films, which feature women stomping, maiming and impaling animals to satisfy the viewers’ sexual desires.
“No need to worry,” she continues. “I have a lawyer. I plan to sue for slander and defamation of character.”
PETA Cruelty Case Work Director Stephanie Bell, who supervised the investigation into the fetish star’s crimes, says she watched a video of Hird shooting a rat repeatedly with a pellet gun.
"We provided information to law enforcement, and they felt justified in making the arrest they did,” Bell tells Breaking Celebrity News in response to Hird's denials.
