Adult Actress Tasha Reign Claims She Was Sexually Assaulted on Stormy Daniels’ Film Set

Stormy Daniels is being accused of staying silent about an act of sexual harassment which occurred on her film set.

Tasha Reign, whose real name is Rachel Swimmer, told The Daily Beast that she was groped by a member of the crew while working on 2017’s The Set Up, an adult film which Daniels directed.

The first public allegation of this occurrence happened over Twitter in January. Reign claimed that Daniels knew about the incident, which she claims happened on November 15, and that Daniels did nothing about it. For her part, Daniels vehemently denied the claim:

Are you kidding? Please don’t get me started about the environment on your set. No one thinks all men are monsters. Women are finally able to speak their truth about sexual harassment. Not supporting this movement speaks volumes to misogyny. Our industry is no exception. #Metoo

I was innapropriately groped and sexually harassed by one of the men on your crew November 15th right before my BG scene. Which you were then made aware of that day. You continued to allow him to stay on the set with no reprocussion. I never questioned your directorial skills.

I thought you did a fantastic job on the movie and looked incredible (fuck, am I even allowed to say that?) and it makes me sad that you’d make such an erroneous claim about me and the people that I VERY carefully select to work for me. We are done here and forever.

Reign explained to The Daily Beast that on Nov. 15, while she was signing paperwork, she felt “two hands from behind me grab my ass and make sexual moaning noises.”

She decided to wait until the scene was over to report the incident to Daniels, but her scene partner, Michael Vegas, did say that it looked like something was wrong when Reign came back to set. Afterwards, Reign says she reported the incident with the crewmember standing right next to her.

“Stormy is there, and she’s totally silent,” Reign told The Daily Beast. “Just neutral. Which is such a problem. He says sorry, starts talking about how he has a family—which all men do when they get accused.”

Later on, Daniels allegedly met Reign in an adjacent room.

“Stormy says, ‘I’m sorry,’ gives me a hug, and then she shames me by saying [of her alleged abuser], ‘You probably made him cry. He’s crying right now,’” Reign said. “And I thought, wow, I’ve lost all respect for you, and I’m also immediately calling your producer and your company and telling them exactly what occurred.”
