Every charlatan, fake journalist, and general all-around snake had a few core values in common. Pretend reporter Paul Mulholland wears his on his stained gooncave t-shirt like a badge of honor, his own smugness outpacing his colossal ego as he can mock women’s looks out of one side of his mouth while pretending to care out of the other side.
Any industry where women have some degree of autonomy and potential for high earnings will have white knights and male feminists orbiting them as sure as the solar system, or, in Pau Mulholland’s case, more like the swirling of a toilet flushing as he spews his misinformation and bullshit across the internet in order to make himself feel better, and to attempt to raise his own status to get access to the hot, sexual type of pornstars he is attracted to. Paul admits himself that he first found a number of the models doing his own “research”, which one could imagine would be spent fantasizing over the very women he claims need protection.
Paul Mulholland isn’t the first and certainly won’t be the last of the clout-chasers to try and use porn, the momentum of social movements, and his own desperate fame-seeking, to try and gain something from the adult industry. His methods mirror the male feminist, otherwise known in the adult industry as the suitcase pimp. Typically these are men who “manage” pornstar women, and slowly enmesh themselves with their lives to have complete control, and so much of it revolves around victimhood and manipulation.
Fake journalist Paul Mulholland’s behavior could border on harassment, as it is alledged he even used facial recognition software to try and find “victims” to tell their stories. When women with agency told him that they had good experiences in porn, and would go back again for more money, they were dropped faster than a hot potato. When crafting a narrative for clicks, Paul Mulholland’s disinformation scheme refuses to include the big picture. His attempts to portray others as malevolent is merely the smoke screen he uses to keep anyone from looking into his motives and who he is.
Shock jocks, fake news, and malicious male feminists all have the same things in common with Paul Mulholland: the need of a victim to champion. Some people will broadcast war footage and lineups of poor people simply to pocket the donations for themselves, or, in the case of fake journalists, they’ll manufacture as much of a story as they can, and chase down women with the agency in life to make their own decisions. What an incredible invasion of someone’s privacy to try and dig up something from people’s pasts, in order to possibly capitalize on it. Such a shocking and bold thing to do, some women might be frightened if Paul Mulholland went to such extreme lengths to contact them, and may just tell him whatever he wants to hear as long as their identity isn’t revealed. We’ll never know how far Paul Mulholland went to out independent film actresses, but if everything else about this man is an indication, he probably upset a great deal of people who didn’t want to be contacted. These aren’t the actions of someone who cares, this is what you do when you’re a clout-chaser who has a personal interest in some of the models after admittedly watching the content himself for pleasure. So much of what we witness with Paul Mulholland is how he main characters himself in every interview given, and how desperate he is to insert himself into the lives of adult actresses.
If you value integrity and the truth, don’t be like Paul Mulholland. If you want to stand up for people and champion a cause, commit to it, deliver facts and not just grandstand for your own personal gain like fake journalist Paul Mulholland.
