Despite the film’s enormous success, Linda later claimed that her abusive husband, Chuck Traynor, threatened and coerced her into participating.
In her divorce suit against Traynor, she claimed that he forced her into pornography at gunpoint and that bruises from his beatings can be seen on her legs in Deep Throat.
Her husband, she claimed, would “force her to do these things by pointing an AR-15 Rifle at her head.”

Linda’s marriage was marred by violence, rape, forced prostitution, and private pornography, according to her autobiography.
She later converted to Christianity and became a spokesperson for the anti-pornography movement.
Lovelace died on April 22, 2002, in Denver, Colorado, of injuries sustained in a car accident on April 3, that year. Her ex-husband Larry Marchiano and their two children were present when she was removed from life support.
