Joel Kinnamanhas obtained a restraining order against a former sexual partner whom he alleges is “threatening to publicize false information about” him — including that he “had sex with her against her will.”
According to the actor’s allegations to the court, said demands included “money, Hollywood connections, helping to secure a work visa, a verified Instagram page, a Wikipedia page, a photo shoot with Sports Illustrated, an additional $400,000 USD for an apartment and more.”
In a statement to PEOPLE, Davis, who alleges Kinnaman raped her, denied having “ever threatened or asked for money.”
Kinnaman claims that he and Davis “met up in New York and had consensual sex” in November 2018 and again the following month, “but did not spend the night together because I had to get up early the following morning for work. The next day she texted me that she was bothered that I had not asked her to spend the night and that I did not check with her to make sure she made it home safely.”

He goes on to say that in 2019 and 2020, Davis asked “to meet up” and sent “sexually explicit content, but I was in a relationship at this point, so I did not respond.” (Kinnaman isengaged to model Kelly Gale, whom heproposed to earlier this year.)
Afterward, Kinnaman alleges, her “communications became more antagonistic, threatening, and frightening over time.”
Kinnaman says he and Davis had “a lengthy telephone conversation,” in “which she knew was being recorded,” on July 25 of this year. He further alleges that Davis “more than once acknowledged that the sex was consensual” during the conversation, yet “reiterated herthreat to tell the media that it was against her willunless I met her demands.”

“Since then, her threats of violence against me and my loved ones have become so serious and specific that I felt I had no choice but to seek a restraining order,” Kinnaman continues.
“That is not what occurred here. This was consensual sex. And now it is an attempt to extort,” Kinnaman says. “More importantly — this is a threat to the safety of my familyand loved ones, whichwill always be my top priority.”
