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.
Avn (adult video news media network) recently released a press release stating they support #BlackLivesMatter – but considering the media outlet’s relationships with white supremacists and consistent history of engaging in anti-Black racist activity their press release in regards to The Black Lives Matter movement is not legitimate or sincere.
The above clip is from an interview conducted by adult actress and podcast host Melissa Hill with adult actor Sean Michaels in regards to the racist treatment he endured at the hands of multiple AVN employees at an AVN event.
A few days ago the famous erotic content producer Holly Randall (daughter of the legendary pornographer Suze Randall) made a public statement on her social media announcing that she will not be attending any adult industry awards shows this year. Alex Mayers briefly speculates as to why the porn industry’s “Princess” (who is also a successful podcast host) may be avoiding the spotlight…could it be due to the awards system inequity?
Or possibly the industry’s blatant racism? In addition Alex Mayers comments on some very irresponsible sexual practices a pornstar linked to Brazzers and Adulttime posted tweets about and Alex issues a warning Adult Entertainment Expo (#AEE) attendees NOT to have sex with any of the pornstars.
It’s important to remember that there are HIV positive professionals (such as John Stagliano) working in today’s porn industry. Caucasian HIV positive yet undetectable individuals such as Stagliano often get a pass by the porn industry’s “elite”, however Blacks such as Darren James do not…
Alex Mayers reviews a news scandal involving public figure, sex worker and APAG Union president Dawn Vanguard aka Alana Evans and Brian McKnight’s sons (who were only 15 and 17 years old at the time of the incident in December of 2008.
Alex explains how white privilege, being a woman and being a mother is likely what protected Dawn from experiencing the legal repercussions generally associated with a middle aged person acting inappropriately with a minor. Had Dawn been male with a complexion along the lines of that belonging to pornstar Mr. Marcus she likely would have been put in prison. It’s important to remember that Dawn was not elected by the industry to be APAG Union President…she only holds the office due to a Back male performer named Sean Michaels stepping down from the position.
