I was told this week that Mr. Marcus got syphilis from a Chicago stripper. If that’s true, add March 2nd to your Marcus timeline because that’s the date Marcus and the woman reportedly worked together.

If that’s correct, it stands to reason that Chastity Lynn would notice open sores a couple of months later.

There’ve been many unanswered questions so far in the Mr. Marcus syphilis story. But a closer look at the Marcus timeline starts opening up fields of inquiry otherwise ignored and points to coincidences that are hard to overlook.

When porn performers “retire” or leave the business you generally take those announcements with a grain of salt. Happens all the time.

But add the intrigue of the Marcus timeline and speculation is rife.

Because eight of the nine performers with syphilis haven’t been identified, there’s been all kinds of guessing games as to their identities. And I know people in the industry who are playing the genealogy game, with pen and paper, trying to determine the six degrees of separation from Marcus.

The industry, for instance, is still puzzling over the sudden departure of Remy LaCroix. Judging from all the buzz, LaCroix, a Spiegler girl, was a shoe-in for a Performer of the Year nomination as well as Best New Starlet.

LaCroix was very popular and well liked, then all of a sudden she made an announcement, online, the end of June that she was retiring from the business. Ordinarily you say so what, but when hell began breaking lose starting in June [when Marcus found out he had syphilis] everything from that point forward takes on new significance.

LaCroix wrote: “I’m gracefully backing out of porn. There’s a multitude of reasons to give now, but the bottom line is that it just doesn’t feel right anymore… physically, mentally, or emotionally.”

Coupled with that enigmatic statement about health and emotional well being, people got wondering why LaCroix would quit out of the blue. Was there more to it?

LaCroix in that terse, heartfelt farewell, goes on to thank her agent Marc Spiegler for the support she had received. The question begs, did Marcus and LaCroix work together? I know they’re in the cast of Anal Size My Wife 3 from West Coast Productions, one of LaCroix’s last movies, but they were paired with different partners. At least on camera.

For the record, Mr. Marcus does Angelina Valentine, and I would be having her ass checked out, just to be on the safe side.

Curiously, right after LaCroix’s departure two other Spiegler girls made career altering moves.

Andy San Dimas and Katrina Rose both announced that they would only be doing g/g scenes. The question is why.

Both women had very strong careers then all of a sudden took, at least for them, a giant step backward. Rose, in particular, has been particularly critical of Marcus using her Twitter account to vent her spleen about the way he handled his situation. Was there something very personal going on there?

Mercury was particularly in retrograde for the Spiegler camp because, just as that drama was unfolding, Leilani Leeane and Lia Lor created more by announcing that they were leaving Spiegler for Derek Hay of La Direct models.

Relative to the Marcus timeline, the nagging question about San Dimas and Rose points to that controversial orgy in which Chastity Lynn called out Mr. Marcus for having open sores.

Lynn refused to work with Marcus that day. But, lo and behold, San Dimas and Kristina Rose participated in that scene. Orgies being what they are, San Dimas and Rose must have had sexual contact with Marcus.

The finished product was titled Orgy Masters. The movie is on the Jules Jordan label. Alexander DeVoe is credited as director and besides Lynn, San Dimas and Rose, others in the cast are Mr Pete, Mr Marcus, Lexington Steele, London Keyes, Prince Yahshua, Juelz Ventura, Leilani Leeanne, Tiffany Doll, and Lola James.

Call it another coincidence, but soon after that movie is when Leilani Leeane made her decision to leave Spiegler. London Keyes, another Spiegler girl from that shoot, however remains on the agency roster. Chastity Lynn, by the way, is also another Spiegler girl as is Juelz Ventura.

For the conspiracy minded, the departure of two of Digital Playground’s contract stars right in the middle of this timeline makes you now wonder if they had been scared for their lives.

Bibi Jones whose online romp with the New England Patriots’ Rob Gronkowski made her America’s tight end, all of a sudden quits the business.

“I’ve been extremely unhappy the last couple months,” Jones announced. Was she trying to tell us something? Jones follows up by stating: “The earlier I get out of this industry the better it’s going to be.”

That sounds like somebody itchin’ to get out of Dodge.

Riley Steele soon followed with a statement of her own. Both ladies said they had been promised a lot.

Then, again, porn can’t promise you protection.
