People send me tips about stories almost every day. A good number of them are about Vivid or Vivid girls past and present and Nikki Jayne is no exception. I counted up this morning and I have no less than 19 emails about this British import with one bit of speculation or another.   In fact, I recently posted some information sent to me but it turns out Miss Nikki Jayne is not as lost as some would seem to have us believe.   Soon after I published that story a press release came out to say that Nikki Jayne will in fact be at a Vivid party this summer, representing Vivid at Exxxotica Miami on Saturday May 9th.


Before I give you the press release about Nikki Jayne and Vivid that was sent to me this morning I wanted to also point out that a source inside Vivid told me today that the story from AdultFYI.com about Vivid not shooting until 2010 because of the economy or money problems is total and complete bullshit that they in fact shoot no less than 4 features a month.

This press release also lists Hanna Hilton as going to be there so it will be interesting to see how that plays out as remember Genesis is reporting that Hanna Hilton is fed up and leaving Vivid.  So we’ll see if that turns out to be true or not.  So here is the full press release about Nikki Jayne in Miami.

I was reading a story at AdultFYI how some chick who works at Penthouse filed a complaint because get this … there were porn stars in the office.  No fucking way … porn stars in the Penthouse offices?  Who would have thought?  The hell I say!  How oculd such a thing happen.  Who would have ever thought it you worked at a nudie magazine, chicks who get naked may come in the office?


What the fuck is wrong with this world?  Seriously?


With all the shit going on in the world she’s lucky to have a fucking job and she wants to bitch about that?


I’m sorry but when you take a job at a sexually oriented business you have to expect shit like this will go on. I think someone is just looking for a free ride on a lawsuit and it’s stupid bitches like this that make the world what the fuck it is today.


Here is the full article.


Penthouse May Go Under? This Lawsuit’s Only Part of the FriendFinder problem of Finding Friends


From www.gawker.com- FriendFinder Networks, the publisher of Penthouse and operator of adult-classifieds websites, is facing a sexy legal scandal. A former top executive who went public with her grievances has now filed a lawsuit.


Natalie Cedeno, FriendFinder’s former director of human resources, was fired in January without cause, she says, after a series of run-ins with management over practices she believed were improper or illegal.


Cedeno claims the atmosphere at the company changed substantially after Penthouse Media Group acquired Various Inc., the operator of Adult FriendFinder and other websites, in 2007 and changed its name to FriendFinder Networks. Various was buttoned-up, she says, despite operating websites where users planned hookups. Penthouse, by comparison, was pure frat-boy raunch — an attitude which culminated in an incident where a Penthouse Pet draped her boobs on an unwilling female employee in a staged photo meant to humiliate her.


There’s more. The complete lawsuit is included below, but here are the highlights — or lowlights:


25. In or about April, 2008 plaintiff received complaints regarding racist comments concerning employees and prospective employees being made by the company’s Controller, Al Mercado. Mercado made racially disparaging comments regarding Indians, Asians and people whose spoke English as their second language, which he admitted to Plaintiff. Plaintiff met with and counseled Mr. Mercado on three separate occasions, yet his discriminatory conduct continued. The complaints regarding Mr. Mercado’s racially disparaging comments were received from Accounting Supervisor, Brinda Calori who had asked to be given a new assignment because she was distressed by Mercado’s conduct. Plaintiff went to Carmela Monti and recommended that Mercado be discharged. Monti refused to terminate Mercado and instead ordered that Ms. Calori be terminated. Plaintiff objected to Monti’s decision to terminate Ms. Calori and complained to the Vice-President of Finance who refused to become involved. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Ms. Calori has filed a complaint with the EEOC for retaliatory discharge resulting from her complaints.


28. In May 2008 FriendFinder brought two Penthouse Pets and a male model into the Sunnyvale office to serve ice cream to the employees. The Pets were dressed in revealing attire that caused a female supervisor to complain that their presence and the fact that they were “porn stars” made her so uncomfortable that she would stay in her office away from this activity. The Pets went up to the supervisor’s office and one of them placed her breasts on the employees head while two other employees’ took pictures. The supervisor came to Plaintiff’s office in tears. She was visibly shaken and upset and informed Plaintiff that she was afraid the photos would be put on the Internet. Plaintiff had previously telephoned Carmela Monti, informed her that the Pets were pinching the nipples of the male employees, rubbing their bare chest and inappropriately touching staff, and asked that Monti allow her to have the Pets removed from the office. Monti had refused Plaintiff’s request and after the incident involving the supervisor Plaintiff called Monti again, asking that the Pets be removed because their behavior violated the company’s sexual harassment policy. Monti again refused Plaintiff’s request that she be authorized to direct the Pets to leave the office. COO Tony Previte appeared supported Monti’s decision, stating that the employee who complained was a “trouble maker.”


39. In or about August or September, 2008, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Las Vegas office, Jason Rasberry, made inappropriate sexual comments concerning a female employee (TE). The CTO said to 5-6 male coworkers in the presence of TE (the group was standing together on a smoke break) “I’ve had seen TE naked and her breasts are too small.” The CTO admitted having made the comment. The CTO had a history of previous misconduct in the workplace for which he had received disciplinary action. Prior to this incident the CTO had asked a male applicant who was interviewing for a position in the company’s Technology Department to “chose any item and he would have one of the girls on cams.com insert it into her vagina.”


FriendFinder appears to be facing severe financial trouble. The company filed for a $460 million public stock offering in December, in an effort to pay off more than $400 million in debt incurred during the Penthouse acquisition. That IPO has yet to happen. But the stock market remains unfriendly to IPOs, and FriendFinder has defaulted on some of its debt, according to a new SEC financing. A tipster tells us the company recently laid off eight marketing staffers in an effort to cut costs. And top executives seem to disagree on whether the company can afford to keep publishing the print edition of Penthouse.


(FriendFinder’s corporate website now softpedals the company’s porn business, highlighting G-rated social networks like BigChurch.com instead.)



Is Raylene making a comeback?

There are some rumblings on the ADT boards that former Vivid girl Raylene may be getting ready for a brief comeback.  Raylene started in the jiz bizz in 1995 when she was 18 years old, and signed with Vivid soon after. While with Vivid she would meet her future husband, Steve Hirsch’s brother, Brad. Raylene’s contract ended with Vivid in November of 2001 and Raylene officially began her life as Mrs. Brad Hirsch. She left the adult movie business behind her and began working in the real estate business, broking high priced homes to the friends she made while in the business.


Raylene


There is no way to know if this rumor is true until someone from Raylene’s camp or from Vivid confirms it but with the real estate marketing taking a nose dive, there could be some truth to the rumors and I wanted to share with you what I was hearing in case you are a fan of Raylene’s like I was.


Updated:  Scott Fayner says he believes the story to be true and he spoke with someone shooting with her.



Bo Kenney of SexZ Pictures wanted to spread the word that a new girl is attempting to shoot adult movies in LA and recommends that you do not hire her. Her family is offering a cash reward for information leading to her safe return home.   She is from a prominent Washington, DC area family and her father is a Russian diplomat who happens to be a next door neighbor of Kenney. The parents feel the girl has been wrongly influenced by a black man who claims to be a talent agent named Leonard (sometimes going by the name Shawn).


Anyaa is 18, with model good looks, 5’10” with dark chestnut brown hair to the middle of her back. She has no accent but can speak fluent Russian. She might have a driver’s license from Virginia, Maryland or D.C. or possibly a new one from another state. Her agent is currently seeking work for her in the LA adult movie business.

Information leading to her exact location and return will lead to a cash award. “I really appreciate anybody in the industry that knows the whereabouts of this girl getting in touch with me,” Kenney said.   If you have information regarding Anyaa’s whereabouts, please contact Bo Kenney immediately bo@sexz.com
