Hunter Biden was a member of an elite Los Angeles sex club but was kicked out for being an “asshole,” the club’s founder claimed.
Damon Lawner, who opened the exclusive Snctm but sold it in 2019, was banned from the location after publicly identifying the president’s son as a former member.
The claim about Hunter was included in a profile of Lawner published Tuesday in the Los Angeles Times.
A Snctm spokesperson told the LA times it has a policy of never identifying its members and that any violation of the rules will result in a lifetime ban.
The publication said Lawner alleged that Hunter had been a member of the club after entering a plea deal with federal prosecutors this week.

Damon Lawner (pictured), who opened the Snctm exclusive but sold it in 2019, was banned from the venue after publicly stating that the president’s son was a former member.
Joe Biden’s controversial son will appear before a judge next month to formally enter a plea deal with prosecutors on tax and gun charges that will likely save him time behind bars, according to court documents posted Wednesday.
Lawner, 52, founded Snctm in 2013 with the intention of creating a sex playground for LA’s elite, ranging from Hollywood stars, musicians, high-ranking businessmen, city officials and millionaires.
Lawner told the newspaper that he decided to open the club after seeing the Tom Cruise movie “Eyes Wide Shut,” in which wealthy elites gather for a secret orgy.
At the time, he was $1 million in debt, but the club quickly gained popularity. The guest lists were carefully curated and the membership cost ran up to $75,000.
In the publication’s recent profile on Lawner, he talks about hosting masked parties in townhouses and nightclubs around the city.
But after five years, Lawner said he decided to sell the club to new owners because his lifestyle had ruined his relationship with his family.
He told the LA Times that he’s been attending events ever since, but only to show friends what it’s like inside — and lifted the lid on one of the club members, breaking a taboo.
“Hunter was a member of Snctm and I canceled his membership after 1 party because he is an asshole,” he wrote on Instagram in a now-deleted post.
The current owner of the elite club countered his claim and banned him from the events he once hosted.
“Posting what I did on my Instagram about Hunter let people know that the kind of behavior he was exhibiting was something that upset me,” Lawner told the LA Times after reporters followed up on him. “I knew that the consequences could be that I would no longer be part of Snctm, but I was willing to take that risk.”
He said he was not shocked by the ban and said he no longer wanted to be part of the club.
A Snctm spokesperson told the publication that “we do not confirm or deny the identities of past or present attendees.
“We enforce a strict code of conduct to protect the safety and privacy of our members, and any violation will result in a lifetime ban.”

Hunter will appear before a judge next month to formally enter a plea deal with prosecutors on tax and gun charges.
The move will likely bail him out of jail.
U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika has yet to approve the plea deal reached after a lengthy federal investigation.
It calls on the president’s son to plead guilty to two counts of non-payment of taxes. Hunter Biden must also commit to court-mandated terms that will spare him full prosecution on a gun charge.
The hearing is scheduled for July 26 as a combined first appearance and plea deal.
News of the plea deal broke Tuesday, sparking criticism from Republicans who are continuing their own congressional investigations into nearly every facet of Hunter Biden’s business dealings, including foreign payments.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, who traveled in Stockholm on Wednesday, said David Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware, was “given full authority to decide the case as he saw fit.” And that’s what he did.’
Former President Donald Trump and other Republicans have pointed to the case to raise questions about the independence of the Justice Department as Trump himself faces a landmark criminal indictment.

The charges against Trump were brought by a special prosecutor appointed to avoid any perception of a political conflict.
The charges against Hunter Biden, meanwhile, were filed by U.S. attorney Weiss, who was appointed by Trump and persisted throughout the Biden administration to continue the investigation, some aspects of continuation.
Noreika was also nominated by Trump in 2017.
Hunter Biden’s lawyer has said the guilty verdicts are an attempt to take responsibility for mistakes he made “during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life,” and understands this concludes the five-year investigation into his client .
