Porn star Heather Vahn says abusive ex Tommy Wood forced her into orgies, choked her till she went 'limp'
Pornstar Heather Vahn recently opened up about the alleged physical and sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her ex Tommy Wood, a rising star in the adult film industry. The 31-year-old actress took to Twitter a little more than a week ago and shared disturbing photos of her bruised and battered body to her fans.
"This wasn't consensual. this happened as a result of wanting to 'talk out' an incident and he wanted to sleep and talk in the morning," she wrote alongside the photos. "When I said no we talk now – this was my punishment. THIS MAN IS IN PORN NOW."
Vahn began noticing little signs of abuse shortly after they began dating in 2015. "The abuse started small," Vahn told The Daily Beast. "It started with shoving in the house, and then he did this move where he puts his hand over my mouth… then he began putting one hand on my mouth while the other hand went around my throat."
She said she would "go limp" as she didn't know how to defend herself from Wood.
"He's 6-foot-1, and dominant, and scary, and I'm only 5-foot-3," Vahn noted.
According to her, the couple constantly argued over Wood's cheating. She said women who slept with him would brag about their affairs by sending her messages on Instagram. The Daily Beast confirmed Wood's flings after scouring through Vahn's messages. One of the women even told Vahn how he would secretly take off his condom while having sex.
"The cheating thing started getting to a place where I was getting upset often," Vahn explained. "He didn't like that, so the physical stuff started happening more and more. There was slapping, a lot of choking, and holding me down with his body weight."
But she agreed to have threesomes with other women just to make Wood happy. After a point, Vahn recalled, different women would make daily visits to their home to have sex with Wood, while she sat in another room.
"How did we get here?" she wondered. "I didn't like it. I only like to be with one person, outside of my work."
According to her, the swinging soon turned into full-blown sex orgies.
"Those were not necessarily consensual. They were, because I did those things, but I did it under pressure. Do this or I'll leave you. It was emotionally horrific and so exhausting," Vahn insisted.
"I would get drunk to deal with the sex, because we were swinging, and he was trading me to other couples," the adult star continued, tearing up. "I didn't like being passed around like a commodity. Being wasted made things go by. I didn't like to be present."
And one time, she claimed, Wood "put me in a suitcase."
When the Daily Beast reached out to Wood regarding Vahn's alleged abuse, he said it was purely "out of self-defense."
"If at any time I were ever to inflict harm or violence to any individual it would only be out of self-defense," he told the outlet.
According to Wood, Vahn also physically assaulted him, stalked him, and "vandalized" his property. However, he admitted that she wasn't into the orgies.
"It was pretty obvious that she wasn't the right person to explore that type of lifestyle with," he said.
Meanwhile, 101 Modeling, the agency that represented Wood, told the Daily Beast they had "removed" him from their website and no longer represented him. "We hope that the situation finds the proper ending," they added.
