His Infamous nickname
Ron Jeremy has held the nickname "The Hedgehog" since 1979, and many people believe it is attributed to his massive body and genetics that produce all of his body hair. But this is not true. While on his way to an adult film studio in California, he was hit by a blizzard while he was riding on his motorcycle. Only wearing a shirt and shorts at the time, he had to rush into a hot shower when he arrived at the studio for fear of losing parts of his body to frostbite. When he emerged from the shower, his hair was sticking up from all over his body, and his skin was slightly red. One of the actors who was appearing with him in the productions said that he looked like a walking, talking Hedgehog.

Sexual Assault Allegations
But his health issues are the least of his problems. Now empowered by the #MeToo movement, more than a dozen women have come out against him with sexual assault allegations.

Conclusion
Although becoming one of the greatest male pornstars in the 70s and 80s was a big achievement, nothing can make up for Ron Jeremy to use his power and position to hurt women and keep them silent. Hopefully, in the next generation of male pornstars will be more respectful to their female and other male coworkers. And if they are not, they will be swiftly met with the same fate as Ron Jeremy himself. The Me Too movement has provided an outlet for Abused women too speak out against powerful men, and it is not stopping anytime soon
