Call it raunch and revolution.
For the hordes of comrades and kittens gushing over accused insurance CEO killer Luigi Mangione, there is something new to satisfy their fantasies.
A friend told RadarOnline that the luxury-loving Lenin made more than 20 sex tapes to kickstart his own “porno empire.” One of the driving factors, the friend said, was his narcissistic need to be ogled.
Mangione, 26, is facing state and federal charges in the brazen assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, who was gunned down in New York City on Dec. 4. He has pleaded not guilty.
Since the shocking shooting, the movie star-handsome Mangione has gained a cult following. Now behind bars as he awaits trial, he can’t do anything physical about his newfound fan club.
“There are at least 20 videos of him having sex. He wanted to be watched,” the friend told RadarOnline, adding the sexxx-rated performances featured big-screen quality.
But the pal said some of the “starlets” involved in the action with Mangione are too frightened to come forward.
“It wasn’t just some grainy, late-night mistake. It was perfect lighting, everything,” the source said. “He wanted to be watched. He got off on it. There are at least 20 videos of him having sex.
“But a lot of the girls are too afraid to come forward or tell anyone for fear they might get dragged into his case somehow. People thought that he was this misunderstood genius, but no — he was filming everything like he was starring in his own private porno empire.
“He wasn’t just reckless – he was putting on a show. And now, the show is over.”
The Ivy League-educated Mangione also allegedly sent numerous women unsolicited nude photos. Ironically, the friend said Mangione was deathly afraid of becoming addicted to porn and he believed smut stopped men from meeting real women.
Since his arrest, a slew of social media accounts have sprung up celebrating the alleged homicidal heartthrob. And outside Manhattan court during an appearance on Feb. 21, scores of women screamed as though he were The Beatles.
Rich kid Mangione was educated at a private school in Maryland and had no criminal history until his arrest for the December shooting. A model student, he was actively involved in athletics.
One friend told reporters that he was “popular” and had a “big circle of friends.” He graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied computer and information science, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He also got his masters from the Ivy League school. Mangione was reportedly a data engineer at a car company in California before moving to Hawaii.
When Mangione was arrested after a five-day manhunt, he was carrying a three-page handwritten manifesto. In it, he lambasted health-care companies for their greed.
From the Metropolitan Detention Center, Mangione thanked those supporting him, claiming he was “overwhelmed and grateful” after receiving hundreds of letters and messages. However, his legal eagles have asked them to stop sending so much mail — particularly raunchy snapshots.
His lawyers said: “Please note that every photo that is received is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.”
Mangione will next appear in court on March 19 for the federal charges against him.
