Jenna Jameson Flashes 4chan To Get Ex-Assistant's Personal Info (NSFW)
In a bizarre testament to the power of the internet, porn star Jenna Jameson was able to get 4chan to procure the personal information of an ex-assistant she claims is "completely fucking with [her] digital life." Oh, and she had to show her tits to get them, because she's Jenna Jameson and it's 4chan.
Jameson originally posted the plea to /b/, the abhorrent image board known (among other, more sinister things) for swiftly grabbing personal details of different people:
"My ex assistant who goes by the name of [redacted] turned out to be a con artist. I do not know if [redacted] is his last name. I finally found him out and fired him... Since he was previed [sic] to my personal information such as passwords he reset and probably deleted my twitter @jennajameson and has also removed all pictures of me and him from my instagram. He is completely fucking with my digital life and so I ask if you have any ideas of who he is please let me know. I am in the process of consolidating and resetting all my passwords. I will be attaching images of him shortly."
At first, the denizens of /b/ were wary of the legitimacy of Jameson's claims, so they offered her a familiar ultimatum: "Tits or GTFO."
Despite her earlier objections, Jameson eventually gave up the goods (NSFW pictures below):
After the rite of passage was complete, 4chan got to work, getting the ex-assistant's address, driver's license number and credit score all within the hour. With the sensitive information firmly in her grasp, Jameson posted this picture as a little thank-you note to the 4chan faithful (and continued to ask for more info), while also not-so-sneakily plugging her new book:
The Daily Dot has confirmed that the entire episode was legit.

We wonder what's going to happen to the ex-assistant now. Hell hath no fury like a porn star scorned.
