‘The night that the attack occurred I was walking towards the front of the restaurant [The Rainbow Room] and in walks my old friend Ron Jeremy’.
She explained how Jeremy said he was going to show her the kitchen, but instead lead her to the bathroom.

Also in the show was a defender of Jeremy – his ‘best friend’ and producer Jim Powers who claimed that many of his accusers were ‘trying to get a pay out’.
‘I’ve been with Ron Jeremy at some these places. I’ve seen people coming up to him left and right, you know women hitting on him.
‘When I think about the women who are making these allegations, I do think you have a good chunk of them are probably just in it for trying to get a payoff.
‘In some of these cases, I just think people felt guilty about what they did afterwards and he’s taking the blame for it.’
