Jenna Jameson Sparks Intrigue As She Calls Female Friend 'The One'

Jenna Jameson has sparked intrigue among fans about her personal life, after she shared photos of herself posing with a woman who she has labeled "the one."

The former adult film actress, 48, kicked off the speculation on Sunday, when she shared a photo showing her tattooed arms resting against those of another.

Captioning the image, the model wrote, "Menace to society," tagging the account of influencer and barber Jessi Lawless, who has more than 1 million followers on TikTok.

In another post shared on Tuesday, Jameson shared an image that showed her distinctively tattooed arm resting against Lawless' face and neck.

"She's the one," Jameson wrote beside the photo, adding the hashtag "#mypringle."

The posts sparked an onslaught of questions from fans about the nature of Jameson's relationship with Lawless, while many others appeared to assume it was romantic and congratulated the star.

And while Jameson shared another photo that appeared to show their legs entwined, Lawless posted an image of the two together on her own account as she sought to clarify the nature of their relationship.

"Y'all chill out I'm still single as a pringle," Lawless said, adding that she had been through a "brutal" breakup. "I'm healing. @jennacantlose is just helping me heal."

Keeping the mood playful, Jameson commented the post: "It's the jawline for me."

Seemingly frustrated with the mixed messaging, one fan commented on Jameson's post: "Jessi says just friends, you say she's the one... TELL US... This is exciting."

Jameson left the enquiring fan none the wiser, with "hehehehe" serving as her response.

Newsweek has reached out to Jameson for comment.

In October, Jameson addressed fans' questions over her relationship status with fiancé Lior Bitton, after she shared a pair of cryptic posts on Instagram.

Jameson, who has been living with an as-yet-undiagnosed illness since January, has long faced speculation from her social media followers over her relationship with Israeli businessman Bitton, given their living arrangement.

While Jameson is based in Hawaii, Bitton—to whom she has been engaged since 2015—had spent the past several months sharing footage of himself in Los Angeles with their 5-year-old daughter, Batel Lu.

After sharing in an Instagram Story in the late summer that she and Bitton had been going through a rough patch, Jameson appeared to be addressing her engagement when she shared a pair of cryptic Instagram posts.

One post featured an image of a handheld note that read: "I'm at the age where the only closure I need is knowing I deserve better."

Captioning the image, the former Playboy model wrote: "Never forgive what you had to pray your way out of..."

At around the same time, Jameson shared a post on her backup Instagram account that also discussed the breakdown of relationships.

She shared a text image that read: "My friend told me.. 'You keep forgiving them until you unlove them.' I felt that."

In a similar caption to her other post, Jameson wrote: "Never go back to what you had to pray your way out of."

While the post attracted a wave of supportive comments, Jameson returned to Instagram hours later to discuss some of the negative reactions she faced.

After sharing a brief update on her health, saying that she had been "going to physical therapy and I'm getting stronger," she stated in her video post: "I also wanted to hit on a point about people in my comments.

"There have been some very negative reactions, but I want you to understand that I'm being cryptic because there's a child involved and right now it's important to me to keep her safe. So everything is good and I just ask that everybody be kind right now because kindness is good. We like kindness, right?"

Jameson, who revealed back in August that she had contracted COVID-19, also revealed that she was still experiencing symptoms of the virus.

"As you can see, I'm still kind of fighting," she said. "But God, it takes forever for this to run its course. So, I'm going to test again today and see if I'm still positive for the 'rona, but today's the first day that I'm actually feeling kind of strong, do you know what I mean? I feel like I've got a little bit of fire."

Back in April, Jameson explained why she and Bitton were spending their time apart, telling her Instagram followers of her daughter: "She has been in L.A. with her father, which it's been good and bad, her being there, because of course I'm able to like really focus on my health, which is the most important thing right now."

"I just miss her so much. It's seriously like someone's ripped my heart out," said Jameson, who has also shared footage of her daughter visiting her in Hawaii. Jameson revealed in October that she has been spending time in mainland U.S.

Jameson's 13-year-old twin sons, Jesse Jameson and Journey Jette, are in the custody of their father, UFC star Tito Ortiz, from whom she split in 2013.

In July, Jameson spoke out against bizarre claims from "weirdos" that Bitton had murdered her.

Speaking in a self-recorded video from her bed, the model said: "I wanted to pop on and address a few weirdos that are saying that, like, my... that Lior killed me and I'm, like, fertilizer."

"No, I'm here, it's me," Jameson assured after laughing at the accusations. "I guess I have to show my face every so often to prove that I haven't been murdered. It's so f****** dark. Anyway, I hope your day's going well."

During the earlier stages of Jameson's health issues, Bitton had taken to giving the star's followers video updates from her account.

Jameson was misdiagnosed with the rare autoimmune disorder Guillain-Barré syndrome back in January, according to Bitton, as muscle atrophy in her legs left her unable to walk unaided. In October, she shared footage of herself taking steps unaided.
