Video: Poker Playboy Throws Naked Porn Star Off Mansion Roof Into Pool (NSFW)
There's a lot of risk involved when throwing a naked porn star off the roof of a Hollywood Hills mansion and into a pool surrounded by concrete, a lesson learned by millionaire, poker champ, actor and popular Instagrammer Dan Bilzerian when he attempted to toss adult actress Janice Griffith into a pool, but missed ever so slightly.
Griffith not only broke her foot, but had to cancel her shoot with hardcore fetish company Kink.com.
She also tweeted that people writing articles about her need to note that she's 18, not 19. So, don't worry, @thejanicexxx, we got you.

Griffith told TMZ she intends to sue Bilzerian, whose additional crime against her foot was never apologizing for the incident.
Meanwhile, Elite Daily sleuths may have damning evidence suggesting that Bilzerian's aim might not be entirely to blame, as it appears that Griffith failed to let go of his shirt sleeve at the same time he let go of her. Griffith told TMZ she did not "feel comfortable" discussing the alleged shirt grab.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
