Allie Haze is conflicted.
The 28-year-old porn star admits she "loves press," but not in conjunction with a sexual harrassment suit filed on Friday.
Three women who played softball at Nyack College, a Christian school in Rockland County, New York, are alleging that now-fired coach Kurt Ludwigsen, 44, fondled their breasts and ordered them to sit on his lap.
Ludwigsen is accused of telling a pitcher after a loss, “I am going to ear f--k you. This is your punishment. You are going to stand here and take it."
"Ludwigsen then began to lick [her] ear," the suit stated, according to the New York Post.
The players said Ludwigsen also invited Haze to deliver "life counseling sessions" to the team at his New Jersey home and “directed the conversation to focus primarily on [Haze's] sexual history,” the Post wrote.
Haze told The Huffington Post she met with the team this past February, but remembers the events much differently.
"I feel like when I went there, it was positive," she said. "No one was uncomfortable. I talked about my life, the motivating factors behind my going into porn and how I'm an entrepreneur. So, for them to say it was offensive is strange."
Haze said she did not attempt to "recruit" any students into porn. Instead, the gist of the meeting was about dealing with stereotypes.
"There's an assumption that all softball players are lesbians, so I gave them advice on how to deal with that," she told HuffPost. "I told them to focus on doing what they feel is right for them and not worry about what others think."
Haze, who is openly bisexual, said she did address her orientation when speaking to the girls.
"I believe in God, and my encouragement was if that's how you feel in your heart, you can't help who you love," she said. "By people saying it's not appropriate for me to speak to students at a Christian school, it's like saying that I, as a person, have nothing to offer."
Haze first met Ludwigsen at the 2012 AVN Show, a porn industry convention annually held in Las Vegas. The coach, who also went by the name Kurt Vogner, was promoting a phone business that allows fans to call adult film celebrities for a fee.
Haze joined the service, but said her contact with Ludwigsen was minimal.
"I talked to him maybe two times a year," she said. "I'd mainly talk with the tech team. [Ludwigsen] never came across to me as creepy or inappropriate, whether it's true or not."
Haze stayed at Ludwigsen's house when she spoke to the team. "I didn't see any red flags," she said.
In June, a Rockland County grand jury indicted Ludwigsen on 94 counts of forcible touching, 94 counts of sexual abuse, and seven counts of coercion.
Haze said she is torn about the allegations, especially since the experience mentioned in the lawsuits is different from her recollection.
"If something happened to those girls without their permission, I say more power to them for sticking up for themselves," Haze said. "But if they're not true, there needs to be consequences."
