Alexandra Mayers (founder, owner and host of the PNTLIVE network – also formerly known as adult actress Monica Foster) shares a supresed interview conducted by retired adult actress Melissa Hill – featuring veteran Black adult actors Mr. Marcus and Sean Michaels – which revolves around an instance of extreme racism and bigotry each experienced and endured at the hands of AVN media network’s staff at AVN media network events (the 2017 AVN media network nomination party and the 2018 AVN media network awards ceremony).
Since this interview was conducted Melissa Hill was asked to leave the radio platform she hosted her show through (possibly in part due to this interview) and felt pressured to resign from the APAG union. In addition, at the time of the incidents related in this interview Sean Michaels was President of the APAG union – but after the incidents resigned from his position.
Earlier this week the AVN media network released a press release stating that they support the Black Lives Matter (#BlackLivesMatter) movement, but from Alexandra Mayers perspective the statement is disingenuous.
The pornstar who appears to be behind the instances of racism Sean Michaels and Mr. Marcus experiences, Tasha Reign, today appears to be attempting to claim to support #BlackLivesMatter simply in effort to gain social acceptance and increase her fan base.
Considering AVN employee Peter Warren’s public communication and relationships with white supremacists such as Sean Tompkins aka TRPWL and the operators of XXXstarPR – Alexandra Mayers questions why the AVN media network (owned by Tony Rios) continues working with Warren (if they do indeed support Black Lives Matter).
There has been a severe racism problem in the adult entertainment industry for many years, but Black Performers DO have a voice – several voices in fact – should they choose to acknowledge those voices and listen to those voices rather than ignore those voices in effort to gain the acceptance of their white privilege enabled (and often racist) peers.
Alex Mayers provides commentary on a recent post from MikeSouth.com which is not only incredibly racist in nature but a form of bullying as well.
The post accuses pornstar Shay Evans of “passing” and denying that she’s Black by listing herself as “Latina” – however the reality is Shay Evans is multiracial. Furthermore “Latin” is NOT a race.
From Google.com
“Neither “Hispanic” nor “Latino” refers to a race, as a person of Latino/Hispanic ethnicity can be of any race. Like non-Latinos, a Latino can be of any race or combination of races: White/Caucasian, Black/African American, Asian, Native American, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander American, or two or more races.”
This particular situation illustrates how truly racist and anti-Black the American pornography industry is. At this stage Alex feels all Black performers might as well simply list themselves as “American” or “English”.
