Sunday, January 24, 1999

I've heard from several sources that AVN reporter Mark Kernes has obtained a couple of faked HIV tests of HIV positive ex-performer Marc Wallice. Kernes had no comment Friday afternoon. He reportedly fears physical retaliation from Wallice for his investigative efforts. Marc's high viral count on his late April 1998 DNA PCR test which first proved him HIV positive makes it likely that Marc had had the HIV virus for at least six months.

"Any doctor would tell you that his March 30th [1998] ELISA had to have been forged," says a leading porner.

Pat Riley rejoins: "Another wild statement from the usual low-brain-power porn industry. ELISA tests for antibodies, not directly for HIV itself and depending on the individual the body may not produce sufficient antibodies to register a positive result for up to six months. In fact, there's one case (Texas, I believe) where the guy progressed right through to full-blown AIDS without ever registering positive on
ELISA. He did however show HIV+ on DNA testing and Western Blot. (Medline not Springer). So no doctor worth his salt would make such a wild sweeping statement. OTOH he's probably right that the test was forged given the sleazy nature of Wallice and others involved.

"The viral load is neither indicative of whether the ELISA test will show positive nor of the length of time a person has had the virus according to the written statement of Dr Robert Holtzman, a professor of infectious diseases at NYU, that I posted when this story originally broke. While to the layman, myself included, it would seem
logical that the virus gets into your body and then multiplies giving rise to the idea that the level of virus is related to how much multiplication has gone on and hence the time since infection, that's only part of the story. The antibodies do work as do the killer T cells causing a see saw effect and at some later stages of infection
the tested viral load will actually drop to insignificant levels (the virus is lurking in the lymph cells and elsewhere). A high viral load is an indication to pile on the medication--the protease inhibitors prevent the free-floating virus from hooking onto the cells. Neither the PCR test nor the Western Blot can prove that a previous ELISA test was faked.

"While I'm all in favor of hanging any venereally-diseased person who has sex with others from the nearest lamp post, the problem is with the word "knowingly"--actually "intentionally". Prove animus! Very tough because he can probably honestly say that he didn't intend to infect anyone.

"What is needed is a law that says "If you know or should know you're HIV+ and you have sex with anyone, you're automatically presumed to have intent." but each time such a law is proposed it gets beaten back by the gay lobby. Don't forget that lots of the leaders of that group are HIV+ and such a law would effectively stop them having sex."

RAME's Brad Williams: "I completely agree with Patrick. The "leading porner" is clueless about HIV and Marc Wallice, and it shows with the idea that he perhaps infected Barbara Doll over 3 years before "all the rest."

"While it would be neat and tidy to just blame Wallice for every HIV-infection(Doll was pretty sure she got it overseas when performing with a guy she later learned was HIV+) in porn, there isn't going to be anyway the evidence will ever prove that.

""Leading porner" has a hard-on against Wallice and that's fine, but it's
distorting the facts. While it would be great to bring Wallice to "justice" if he was knowingly(and probably was, let's face it) performing while HIV+ with fake tests, it doesn't really address the central issue which is "what happens if some other dude does the same as Wallice?" (perform while knowing they are HIV+) Unless this expands to drum the slime out of the porn biz who knew he was using fake/no tests(if anyone did) and performing , it's not really going to accomplish much. What I get from all of this is that some people in porn are already over "condom scenes" and would like a reason to join the majority in releasing condom-less porn."

FSC Insurance coordinator Greg Zeboray: "Nobody but Marc knows whether or not he knew [he was HIV positive and kept working anyway]. I believe in my heart that Marc did not know."

Veteran porner: "This is a scary thing bigger than all of us. Marc may have single-handedly ruined the lives of eight women. He had unprotected anal sex with eight women - Barbara Doll, Nena Cherry, Delfin (a beautiful French girl who was living at Reb's house and now lives in England, tested HIV positive in the Spring of 1997, after Nena and before McKnight) Jordan McKnight, Tricia Devereaux, Brooke Ashley, Caroline, and Kimberly Jade [Anal Booty Burner 1 and Wild Ass Popper, both 11/96]. AVN said Marc did not do Kimberly Jade, but they were wrong. He did her up the ass on a Rex Borsky shoot for Rosebud. He came in her ass. Those that did not get HIV from him were lucky that he came on their backs or stomachs. If you look at his scenes with Tricia Devereaux and Brooke Ashley, you'll see that he comes right into the hole, the black void [of the anus]."

Riley on Delfin: "Long brown hair, pretty face, medium tits, a bit chunky, 22 years old in 1997, de-virginized at 17, 5'2" tall, comes from the South of France. She can be seen in White Men Can't Iron on Butt Row and Anal Virgins #4 as well as others. She and Marc both only appeared in three movies, Canned Heat #2 which I know nothing about, Fresh Meat #4 where she does not screw Marc, and Nightshift #1."

James DiGiorgio directed Nightshift 1: "Delfin, Marc Wallice, and J.J. Michaels engaged in a 3-way which included a DP. As I recall, it was a standard cowgirl DP, with Marc performing the anal. This was in 1997. I did not know that Delfin had tested HIV positive; it's the first I've heard of that."

Luke: "I've heard that Delfin tested HIV positive some time between 12/96 and 2/97, then returned to Europe."

Veteran porner: "Delfin, McKnight and Caroline did not create big [quarantine] lists. The big ones were Tricia and Brooke and because they worked more. Delphine was rumored to have done escort work. But even girls doing escort work... They always put a rubber on the guy. They don't take it up the ass just for the helluva nor does the guy come in their ass.

"How could he keep f---ing girls in the ass after seeing how the girls he'd just f---ed in the ass came down positive? He's got a Jewish brain. He's seen how every other guy on the list has taken DNA tests and tested fine. Wouldn't you say to yourself, 'perhaps I should wear a rubber before I stick it in someone else's ass?' He could've spared the last few girls if he'd simply worn a rubber. Marc worked on lots of Vivid shoots with rubbers, why couldn't he wear a rubber all the time? Why did he have to cum in the girls ass? Why not the back or the boobs or the hair? If you want to be in denial, why not walk away? You've got some f---ing nerve to stick it in a few more asses. And I can't believe that your buddy Russ Hampshire gave him a job [as an editor]. I heard Marc cried in Jane's [Hamilton] office for a couple of hours.

"I watch these serial murderers interviewed on HBO. And they start to cry and you want to cuddle them. Then you realize, 'wait a minute. He put a bullet in six heads. I'd rather cuddle the victims' families.' I'm sure Marc cries his heart out and begs for forgiveness... Then he claims that Brooke infected him.

"You'd be surprised how much clinics will cooperate when there's a murderer walking around who may not stop even now. Just because we stopped Marc... A guy with that lack of conscience, he's not going to f--- some woman in a bar?

"Do you think that Marc could get violent? If he found out that Mark Kernes and AVN had discovered him to be the fraud that he is? He's lost his last alibi once this AVN story comes out.

"Sharon Mitchell's partially in denial. [She's been friends with Marc for years.] She doesn't even want to know if he forged his tests. She's been counseling the guy.

Spantaneous Xtacy appeared on the Howard Stern show last week. Gdavi writes on RAME: "She discussed her gang-bang movie where
she did 551 guys [in reality, only 50 or so] in in 6 hours with a only a 10 minute break and didn't need any ice. Howard also had Jasmine on a telephone and boy was she goin off about how there were all these cameras....and media there...and that there was no way there were more than 50-60 guys there......and Span was just blowin
her off... BTW...Spontanious Exctacy has a really nice rack...."

Jim Gunn adds: "Actually Jasmine was making the point that there was essentially NO pre-promotion and build up to the "event" and therefore no way that they could have gotten 551 guys there to have sex with Spontaneous. And she's absolutely correct. Even the math doesn't add up. Do you really believe that she could have had sex with 551 guys in just six hours. That's way over one guy every minute! Even if they took all day, it is impossible.

"Of course Jasmine didn't do the 300+ guys she advertised either (I heard it was much less from a camerman who filmed it), so if any of the fans are ready to believe all this horses--- about these hundreds of guys participating in these gangbangs, then I've got a bridge to sell you. Wait until Houston gives it her try. They'll be lucky to
get 150 guys, but they'll tell you it 500. What a crock of s--- the industry is trying to sell you. Not to mention that Spontaneous is a tattooed, floppy-chested hideous beast anyway..."

Director James DiGiorgio: "Jim Gunn is right on the money! None of these gangbangs (300 guys, 500 guys) are as advertised or hyped. I know more than a few people who were in attendance at these events, and the numbers (of guys) they observed falls far short of the number that supposedly particpated. If the viewers are gullible enough to believe all this hors--- about 300 or 400 or 500 individual guys f---ing some girl all in the space of an afternoon or so, then I guess "suspension of disbelief" is alive and well in the porn-viewing community. Personally, any tape that features way more dicks than pussy is not my cup of tea. What are the viewer's real motivations when watching these tapes?. What are they getting off on? All those dicks???"

Pat Mahoney from www.pornaddict.com : "I've heard a lot of things about Jasmin's personality. I heard she's pretty sick mentally and hard to work with. Of couse, I never once spoke to her nor do I know her personally so she could be the sweetest person on earth. I don't know. What I do know is Jasmin went on and on whining about this gangbang saying she doesn't care if it happened or not.

"As the credits were rolling, she repeatedly slandered Span about her weight, busting on her name, etc... Really, she was acting like a spoiled f---in brat. I mean, this woman has some attitude thinkin she's the s---. She's a porn slut. People pay her to f--- her and film it. How is she different? She went on saying that Span looked like Jabba the Hut. Well... some people like different things. Jasmin is attractive but she's not a f---in goddess. Plus, I've spoken to Span and found her to be very cool to her fans. She takes time and is on the same level where Jasmin thinks she's better. Maybe she is... but I doubt it."

Alain Bourassa says he's posted pics to alt.sex.movies of Kerri Downs and Kelly Giraffe doing dogs for European videos.

Cameron Johnson writes from Toronto, Canada: "There has been a lot of talk about an article that hit the streets yesterday concerning the new film about porn star Annabel Chong that is premiering this weekend at Sundance.

"The article, which appeared in Toronto Life, chronicles the story of a
Toronto-based documentary fillmmaker, who, after spying Chong on Jerry Springer, decided to coax her into meeting him in New York on the premise of doing a movie about her. Within minutes of their meeting, they are f---ing and exchanging ballast in the hallways of the Marriot. They are also busy planning the movie.

"Predictably, their relationship dissolves into confusion about personal and professional boundaries, and the manner in which you think you can have a "relationship" with a women who f---s serially and enthusiatically at the drop of a wink. The story is filled with manic hilarity, tragedy and banality--and leaves one dying to actually see the movie.

"Here in Toronto, which is perhaps just two notches north offrigid, this story is heating up the newsstands and coffee shops. It's rare for such an explicit story to run in the mainstream media. It's even bumped the Livent business scandal as the topic most like to lead off a casual conversation. This is, after all, a city that busted Madonna in the middle of a concert for "lewdness', and left her, for a while, vowing never to return.

"Meanwhile, the sex trade thrives at the margins, the alternative weeklies bulge with back-of-the book ads, and entrepreneurs stack up porn sites by the dozens. CityTv, the most daring of the citiy's broadcast media, has just launched a late-night show called Sextv. For months, Danni Ashe's photo on the cover of Shift magazine
(www.shift.com) was plastered everywhere downtown, a tease for a major story about the proliferation of web porn entrepreneurs. Ahhh, the price of repression...

"Sex: The Annabel Chong story, is directed by Gough Lewis and gets its
premiere this weekend at Sundance."

Chloe met with the flu-ridden Russ Hampshire Friday afternoon. She directs for VCA Xplicit and they went over contracts for several more videos. Russ would like to offer her a contract but because she doesn't dance in clubs like his other contract girls, it would probably not be in Chloe's financial interest right now to become a VCA contract girl.

A porn director: "Damien Michael's shoot for Fat Dog was visited by three vice officers yesterday [1/21]. There was no permit, but when the vice officers arrived, they were only shooting stills... They told the officers that it was a photo shoot only, and the officers left and did not return...lucky for Damien. Damien, by the way, claims to represent about two hundred girls here in L.A. Are there even two hundred girls working the porn trades here? I don't think so. Anyway, Jim South is so freaking worried about Rob and Reagan, who usually handle like 10 or so girls at any given time, and here's Damien claiming two hundred. Gee, I wonder if some of those girls that Damien handles are also signed on with South? I think South's days are over (as "the man" to go to for talent). Talent has basically woken up to the fact that it really doesn't matter who gets you the work---and Jim doesn't go out of his way to "get" someone work---as long as you get the work. They've also figured out that if you get booked through someone else, be it Rob or Reb, or Damien, there is no down side (in terms of South exacting some kind of retribution for doing so). Could it be that a free-market zone and entrepeneurship is once again alive and well in the XXX talent managing business? I hope so!"

On Monday at 8PM PST, Ron Jeremy in Seattle re-enacts the Starr Report with help from the Ron Jeremy  ten inch cigar. Tabitha Stevens plays Hillary and Nancy Vee plays Monica Lewinsky.

"I've done 84 radio stations in the last few weeks," said Ron Friday afternoon (1/22/99). "I'm amazed it got that kind of response.

"I don’t know how you [Luke F-rd] got so popular. Everyone reads you. Every time someone does an article on me, for the New York Times, for Time Out magazine, for Rolling Stone, Spin magazine… The person says, ‘respond to this. According to Luke F-rd…’ Oh God no, not again. When Rolling Stone called for the article about me and Tommy Lee, ‘this guy on a web page…’

Ron: "Wait a minute. Was his name Luke F-rd?"

Reporter: "Yes."

Ron: "Oh no."

"So anytime anyone interviews me for any magazine, even from Europe, they bring up your site.

"I just did this 14-girl reverse gangbang for Zane [in mid-December]. All rubbers. It was difficult. Lasted five hours. Beautiful brand new girls who were all happy to work with me.

"Some guy was trying to make a joke with me when I was online. He asked, 'how did you get 14 girls to f--- you?' I replied, 'oh no, it was 15, but your mother got stuck in traffic.'

"I'm appearing in a couple of big mainstream films in the next few months. I have lots of lines, with some big celebrities. I was the sixth lead in Orgazmo, even did karate. The NC-17 rating hurt it.

"I did three days of porno this week. On Wednesday I did a beautiful black girl with humongous boobs for David Christopher. I did Racquel Devine (Jessica Jewel's roommate) for Al Borda. Then on Sunday I did a girl for Leisure Time."

On April 15, Jeremy appears in the mainstream movie about Kiss - Detroit Rock City (which features in the April Playboy). "I play the MC. Shannon Tweed, Ed Furlong, the old lady in Crazy About Mary... We shot it in Toronto."

Ron was cut from the film Ronin. His name, misspelled as Hiatt instead of Hyatt, appears in the credits as "fishmonger." He played a role in a chase scene near fish stores in France.

Quasarman writes: "If anyone should care to discover the truth about HIV and AIDS and perhaps receive a dose of sane advice free from hype and misinformation I would like to once again invite them to visit two sites: www.heal-la.org and www.virusmyth.com  to view the comments and theories of world renowned scientists who also choose to be brave enough to question the conventional wisdom. Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis who invented our precious PCR DNA test that is our industry standard himself questions all of the dogma spewed forth from the CDC and NIH."
