When NHL D-man Michael Del Zotto was publicly humiliated by adult actress Lisa Ann

In an incident that sparked considerable controversy back in 2014, adult film star Lisa Ann publicly shamed professional NHL player Michael Del Zotto on Twitter.

This incident was not the first time Lisa Ann had targeted Del Zotto, as she revealed in an interview at that time. Her actions garnered significant attention, putting Del Zotto in an uncomfortable position.

According to Lisa Ann, she had previously attempted to embarrass Del Zotto in front of his former New York Rangers teammates.

During an interview with FNTSY Sports Network, she mentioned that she publicly shamed him once in 2013 for asking her to set him up with other women. However, that previous incident did not seem to deter Del Zotto from engaging in similar behavior again.

Lisa Ann stated at that time:

"The thing with Del Zotto that was fascinating is since I tweeted this story, hundreds of girls came out of the woodwork telling me he did the same thing to them"

The consequences of Lisa Ann's social media posts were far-reaching for Del Zotto. The unwanted attention from the public and media likely affected his personal and professional life back in 2014. Reports indicated that Del Zotto, who was playing for the Philadelphia Flyers at the time, chose to remain silent on the matter, declining to comment through the Flyers' PR staff.
