Popular porn star Sean Ford was arrested last night during a peaceful protest in New York City. Ford has since been released and has started sharing his experience on Twitter.
“Thanks to everyone for the concern and love,” tweeted the CockyBoys star. “I was arrested last night with hundreds of others while protesting and released from jail a couple hours ago. I am safe home and not hurt. I’m going to take today off to rest, but I will see y’all Friday. Please keep up the fight.”
A photo that Ford posted in a tweet shows he was arrested around 9:00 pm in “violation of Mayor’s executive order.”
Ford isn’t the first porn star to be arrested during a Black Lives Matter-related protest. Dante Colle and Michael DelRay were both arrested during a peaceful protest earlier this week. And other stars like Adrian Hart and Sharok have been posting the injuries they’ve sustained during protests. Hart has bruises from rubber bullets and Sharok took a hammer to the head that forced him to get 30 stitches.

Ford’s friend, known on Twitter as @RealBussy420, started a fundraiser to support the Emergency Release Fund when Ford was arrested last night. Bussy420 and friends eventually raised over $2,000 for the fund. Ford thanked his friend for fundraising early this morning and tweeted, “Lots of people need it more than I do.”
While Bussy420 is done taking donations, he said that you can still donate directly to the Emergency Release Fund through their website.
Ford’s arrest comes after CockyBoys announced yesterday that they were donating to Black Lives Matter-related organizations selected by their performers.
“We are proud to see many performers taking a stand, showing up, advocating & donating to #BLM causes they believe in,” tweeted CEO Jake Jaxson. “Today we have donated to the following organizations, selected by our exclusive performers, on their behalf — I hope you will join in also supporting.”
Ford chose to have money donated to a split bail fund. You can get more info on the bail fund Ford donated to here.
