Porn Valley- The facts. Sin City announced the release of a Bud Lee movie on April 21. The quandary. Lynn LeMay says she and Bud Lee parted company April 1.

So, by doing the math, LeMay is wondering how Lee and Sin City were able to get a movie out in three weeks unless Lee was shooting them on her time and her dime. Lee, however, was the general manager of Lynn’s company, Lemayzing, and was on salary, according to LeMay.

“I owned his ass,” says Lynn. After her chat with me Tuesday

Lee called LeMay and left her a stern warning saying that he was going to sue her unless she retracted those statements by noon Wednesday. Lee also told LeMay the gloves are off.

I listened to the message. Lee is heard to say that in the battle for integrity he’ll put his 27 years in the business up against LeMay’s 20 and see who wins. Lee is also heard to say that even LeMay’s friends like Kat Kleevage talk shit about her behind her back and how she’s a liar.

LeMay laughs as she’s replaying that remark. Lee, in the message, is willing to allow LeMay to back off, retract and claim the whole issue was a miscommunication.

“How did Bud get 27 years out of that when it was 23 the other day?” LeMay also muses. “I think that’s the quote of the year. Let’s put my 20 years next to that.”

“I’m not sitting here looking to lie,” LeMay continues. “I have documents. Let Bud prove that I’m wrong. Because I can prove that I’m right.”

LeMay finds all of what’s transpired quite interesting, even funny, since Lee apparently left a paper trail on LeMay’s computer concerning three shoots and their budgets which he had in the works for Sin City.

The scripts, with working titles like The Looking Glass, Sex in Dangerous Places and Dream Machine, are dated July, 2007. That would mean, ostensibly, Lee had been planning those Sin City projects while still in LeMay’s employ.

“He wrote two of those scripts in July, and one was written in January, 2008. The Sin City budgets are dated 12/07 and 1/08,” LeMay says.

“I haven’t said anything I can’t back up,” LeMay contends. “Here it is. It’s all on the computer. It’s documented.”

LeMay goes on to say that Lee had contacted an attorney, the only problem being, it was her attorney, Clyde DeWitt.

“But Bud says he called my lawyer, and my lawyer told him he won’t stand behind me,” says LeMay claiming that she’s got DeWitt on retainer.

“I can imagine Clyde saying that,” muses LeMay.

LeMay says she called Sin City asking about the production date for Lee’s movie, “Turned Out.”

LeMay also says if Lee wants to play hardball she could go deeper with the dirt.

“Let’s talk about the $6,000 he withdrew from my business account in December,” she says. “He made Powder’s Christmas check bounce twice because Bud took an extra paycheck in December. I sent Powder to Vegas in January and his check bounced again because of that extra money.”

LeMay explains that she gave Lee signing power on the checks because he had been GM.

“His paycheck was $4,000 a month, but I found out from my accountant that he took an extra $2,000 in December,” LeMay explains. “I had only put in monthly bill amounts. $10,000 went in for everyone’s paycheck.

“So if Bud takes $6,000 out, Powder wound up having his check bounced. That’s because Powder would deposit them whereas some of the others immediately cashed them. When it came Powder’s turn to get paid, there was no money and we couldn’t figure out why. The accountant found the problem- it was Bud taking additional checks. But Bud said to my face, ‘You told me I could.’”

LeMay claims that, at the time, she was out of town and there was no way she could have given Bud permission Christmas Eve to take another $2,000 out of the account.

“If the gloves are off, let’s take them off,” challenges LeMay. “I got a lot more on him. He fucked up my loyal employee’s paycheck with no guilt at all. Powder’s rent check bounced because Bud wanted to go home and see Hyapatia and his son at Christmas. So he just wrote himself an extra check.”

LeMay says she in turn deducted the money from Lee in February.

“But Bud didn’t come in to work for January, February, March or April.”

I casually remind LeMay that the absence of her general manager might have gone noticed and prompted questions after a day or two, not after a month or three.

LeMay, who said she was new to all this, believed what she was told, that Lee had been going to meetings and working on projects. For LeMayzing, that is.

LeMay’s asked how she hooked up with Lee.

“When he got fired from Playboy, I was told Bud Lee can shoot. But let me explain. Bud Lee has never been or is not a cameraman. He’s never been able to shoot camera, and all my movies show that. Bud shakes, he walks and Dutch angles everything to cover it up. I didn’t know that. Especially since he wouldn’t use a monitor, telling me that it tethered him down. The gloves want to come off? Let them come off.”

I recalled an instance when Nick Manning came into my office at Extreme Associates back when. He was saying he had trouble collecting money from Bud but wasn’t ready to go public with it.

However Anita Cannibal did go public with her story.

Cannibal told me later that Lee had squared up with her to some extent after that story appeared.

At the mention of Manning, LeMay says, “Bud tried to shove Nick Manning down my throat. I told him I didn’t want to deal with Nick because Nick fucked up on one of my movies being an asshole doing that dropping loads and choking girls. You don’t do that in my movies. I was pissed at Nick.”

LeMay explains that Lee as her General Manager was responsible for getting a distribution deal and Manning’s company seemed to be the only one he’d talk to her about.

“I told Bud I already dealt with Nick. And Bud has no gloves to take off.”

LeMay likes this gloves reference.

LeMay is also ticked off that Lee used her camera equipment to shoot the Sin City movie.

“If they did use my camera equipment, I own that movie,” she contends. “But I don’t want to get pissed at Sin City. I want them pissed at Bud. If I have a Sin City budget on my computer, then it was worked on in my office on my time. A general manager who is on salary doesn’t get days off. He had no right to work for another company.

“Now I would send out Bud to get jobs for my company. That didn’t mean get jobs for Bud and not hire any of my people, just use my equipment, and not bring any of the money home. That’s not the job of a general manager. Lemayzing Pictures is not Bud Lee’s production. But Bud Lee getting four grand to direct?”

On another issue unrelated to her beef with Bud, LeMay is saying that Dolores Sullivan [Ron’s wife], who is her new editor, had some experiences.

“She used to work for Bud as caterer, and he 1099’ed Dolores with $100,000 they had given her to buy food. She got in trouble and had to pay the taxes on it.”

LeMay also contends that because of Lee, she’s in the middle of some headache-inducing 2257 issues affecting her and her distributor, which are being resolved. Sullivan, in fact, was the one who came to LeMay’s rescue on that deal by pointing them out.

“Thank God for Dolores,” says LeMay.

“Bud caused so much trouble in my life,” LeMay goes on to say. “I think he was seeing how far he could stress me. I can be stressed farther than Bud Lee can push.”

“This is funny because it’s so stupid,” says LeMay. “Bud’s been caught.”

“Caught by a press release,” I remind LeMay.

As to her parting company with Lee on April 1, LeMay explains that it was her investor who put $400,000 into the company, insisting on that date. Lee was being afforded every opportunity to make good on an original promise that he’d have the company operating viably by that date. He didn’t.

I tell LeMay I’m crushed that my hero who gets all these women would be involved in such a petty ante scandal.

“He gets all those women because he’s full of shit,” LeMay laughs.
