A very reliable source confirms the AVN lay offs and updates some names-
Senior Editor Jared Rutter- GONE
Screeners Editor- Angie Peek– GONE
AVN.com Associate Editor Peter Warren– STILL EMPLOYED
Associate Editor Justin Bourne- GONE
Managing Editor Erica Heathman, – GONE-Took job at Topco
To anyone who has lost their job I send my best wishes in your search for another one. Times are tough everywhere, and the adult industry is no different. I hope that AVN can pull through this crunch and come back strong.
SON OF A BITCH! I spoke of Karma in my comment on the “MISSING” post, but I might be rethinking my belief in Karma cause apparently some people can WEASEL their way around Karma…
Good luck to Erica Heathman. I don’t know her, but 1 less unemployed person is a good thing. At least in most cases anyway. I hope we hear such good news about the other 3.

Is the “reliable source” Luke Ford? I bet he’s enjoying what’s happening to AVN.
Why would you want AVN to “come back strong”? I’ve wrote at great length of how they are profiting and supporting piracy…why support a company like that? Fishbein made the decision to reward scumbags like Andrew Conru, so as far as I’m concerned he deserves nothing but to go under.
