UPDATE- So the talent donated half of their earnings and GFF matched that making another donation? I’m still not exactly sure what the deal was here…
NL-This was posted on the Forum of Girlfriends Films concerning a movie made to benefit Elexis Monroe. My understanding is the talent who performed in the movie were paid half their usual rate and Elexis received the other half of their pay. So the talent is who really made the donation, not the movie company.
Well, Sinn Sage finally broke the information yesterday evening on twitter. For those who don’t follow her, this is what she said.

My understanding of a "BENEFIT" movie was that a portion of the PROCEEDS go to help someone in need,in this case a friend.
Sinn Sage @sinnsage
If I had known or understood that NONE of the PROCEEDS were going to my friend, I don’t think I would have done it.
Sinn Sage @sinnsage
Production company retains all profits, not even a portion go to help friend, how is that right?
Sinn Sage @sinnsage
Using her illness, tricking consumers into buying thinking they are helping her, to make more money. This is vile and slimy.
Elexis posted this shortly after Sinn erupted.
Elexis Monroe @ElexisMonroe
@sinnsage they matched donations. The rest is up to me. Winging it here. Unfortunately I’m not getting money from sales.
And she followed it with these tweets.
Elexis Monroe @ElexisMonroe
I need to have surgery. Bs aside. I’ve lost my hearing forever in my left ear. The infection spread that far. Otherwise hell yes
Elexis Monroe @ElexisMonroe
It’s really a sad situation because all I wanted and want is to get my face fixed. It’s confirmed I’ve already lost all hearing on left side
Elexis Monroe @ElexisMonroe
Please… If you want to help ME, Donate directly to me… Please. Paypal-elexis08@gmail.com
Elexis Monroe @ElexisMonroe
Donations- Elexis08@gmail.com help save a face. Literally.
So now we know, Elexis will get none of the proceeds from the sale of the "benefit" DVD.
The only question I have for GFF is this – why did they think this cynical manipulation of a woman who is the face of their company, someone who was literally fighting for her life, the models who supported her and of her fans, wouldn’t get out?
