Phoenix Marie, a trained EMT as well as an adult film star, immediately stopped what she was doing and ran inside to help. There, she saw Zaawaadi lying on the couch, “shaking violently and screaming that she couldn’t breathe.” She grabbed Zaawaadi’s face and told her that “if she could speak, she was breathing,” adding that she yelled for someone to call an ambulance right away and “started emergency care.”

According to Phoenix Marie, Danny D was “reluctant” to involve the authorities, and waited more than an hour to call an ambulance. Once it became clear that Zaawaadi’s life was in danger, the complaint says, Danny D finally made the call, and an ambulance arrived to take Zaawaadi to the hospital.

Zaawaadi wanted Phoenix Marie to ride there with her, according to the complaint, but Danny D forbade her to leave the set.

When the scene was over, Phoenix says she was “very distraught” about what had happened, and wanted to go to the hospital to check up on Zaawaadi. But Danny D once again forbade her from leaving.

The next morning, the complaint alleges Danny D “lied” to Phoenix Marie, telling her that the police had come to the house late the night before and “forced” him to go to the hospital. He said that Zaawaadi had “overdosed on lithium,” and that doctors had put her in a medically induced coma. Danny D then showed Phoenix a video of Zaawaadi “thrashing around and convulsing” in her hospital bed, the complaint states.

From there it becomes a matter of lithium, lithium, who had the lithium. A group of production executives called a meeting with Phoenix Marie where they said “awful, hurtful things” to her, such as claiming she hadn’t dealt with the death of her daughter from cancer and that she should leave the man she was dating at the time as he was a bad influence on her.
