CLWYD WEST MS Darren Millar has claimed his following a porn star known for explicit videos was the result of an "accidental click" or "compromise" of his account.
Mr Millar was revealed as following adult entertainer Brickzilla on X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier this week.
The porn star had appeared fifth on Mr Millar’s following list – under US Vice President Kamala Harris and others.
A verified account, Brickzilla's content is devoted almost entirely to “sneak peak” videos of himself with women.
It is not known when Mr Millar began following the X-rated account, but it is understood he has since unfollowed the page.
Mr Millar told The Pioneer: "I wasn't aware of this issue until it was brought to my attention by another journalist yesterday (August 12).
"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."
