Tory MS blames porn star social media follow on ‘accidental click’
Emily Price
A Tory MS who was following a porn star famous for explicit interracial videos has blamed it on an “accidental click” or “compromise” of his social media account.
Nation.Cymru was contacted at the weekend by an anonymous source who pointed out the “unexpected” follow by Clwyd West MS Darren Millar.
We found that the adult entertainer Brickzilla was on the list of the 2,600 people the Welsh Conservative politician follows on X, formerly Twitter.
Explicit
The Only Fans star appeared fifth on Mr Millar’s following list – under the Royal Army Chaplain, The Salvation Army and US Vice President Kamala Harris.
53-year-old Brickzilla lives in Miami and has a following of almost 400,000 on X.
His verified feed is devoted entirely to explicit “sneak peak” videos of himself with women.
It’s not possible to verify when Mr Millar began following the account which has posted graphic sexual material for several years.
The Tory Senedd member is an evangelical Christian who before becoming a politician worked for an organisation that took Bibles to countries where they were banned or frowned upon by the authorities.
When we asked Mr Millar why he had used one of his official social media channels to follow a porn star, he immediately unfollowed the X rated account.
He thanked Nation.Cymru for bringing the matter to his attention.
Mr Millar said: “My X account is managed by me and my office team from multiple devices.
“Clearly, this was either the result of an accidental click or my account being compromised. It has now been resolved.”

Is this really a story?
Given that he’s a self-proclaimed evangelical Christian, it might be.
If the story’s true, of course.
Darren Millar is a decent, honest and moral man. I believe him. He is a good Aelod Senedd and is always helpful and respectful to everyone. A very nice person.
Thanks Mrs Millar, nothing to see here😵
To be fair I had to double check follows and delete them when I had an account, accidental ones cropped up when the timeline threw them at you, the hell site is worse now for pushing shonky stuff I understand. Phone screens being touch sensitive and all that.
“I was hacked, honest guv”.
Unlikely. But I would get a follow and scrolling through feed to see what and who and do I want to engage and to follow back and given that a phone screen is touch sensitive, it is easy to see mistakes here. Then you unfollow and block.
He was only looking for Tractors.
He should have gone to Rhosneigr beach…
That’s where the tractors go to sun themselves…
I actually had some sympathy for ‘tractor man’ – at least in the context of his first net search – given that there genuinely is a class of big agricultural machines marketed under the brand name ‘Dominator’.
Not so sure about his second net search, though!
It’s always the ‘evangelical Christians’. Do as I say, not as I do. Silly boy.
No sign of the usual ‘my account was hacked’ excuse.
How refreshing!
