Porn Valley- I was on my way to Pamela Peaks’ cooking show Wednesday night when I talked to Mary Carey about her divorce. Mary swears this time it’s for real. Like Jill Kelly, she sent out announcements to read: “Just wanted to let you know that me and no neck are no more. I filed divorce paperwork yesterday. He stole my corvette and my 2 dogs. Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know since everybody hated him.”
Mary’s currently in Massachusetts for a dancing gig. She was kicking back, drinking some wine when I spoke to her.”This is the first time that I actually filed the paper work,” she says. Mary had threatened to do it the last time she left her husband Erik but chickened out. Not this time, she says. Carey was swearing up and down that she did it- and gave me her attorney’s phone number so I could check with him.
“This thing’s really ugly and I’ve got a private investigator stealing my Corvette back from Florida,” she said. “Right now he’s [her husband] got more of my stuff than I do. His whole family is living in my house in Florida. And he has my two dogs. And I’m in my little condo in…with the Cadillac. It’s not as nice as the Corvette.”
To beat her husband to the punch, Carey said she and her lawyer took the initiative to file lest Erik had given any thought to filing in Florida. “If I file in California he won’t be able to do anything. He doesn’t have money for a lawyer.” Carey’s willing to concede some property like a van. “I’ll let him live in my house for free for a year but I’ll never talk to him again.”
While we’re speaking, Carey’s going goofy because her “sidekick” which she uses to send out e-mails just dropped on the floor and broke. “You don’t know what this means to me. This is really tragic!!!” Carey explains that this is her prized possession. “You can e-mail, go online. I use it when I’m on the road.”
Carey admits that she was stupid for not filing for divorce earlier. “I’m stupid- I’m only 24,” she sighs. “I guess the only reason I kept going back is that I thought I needed him. He had me convinced that I couldn’t do things on my own. But I can. I’ve hired mainstream p.r. people who were working on things like red carpet events and he’d get jealous when I went to those. That’s not normal. Right now I’m a free spirit and can’t be controlled. And he wants to be in control. Plus he’s mean to people that I like. I want to go out and talk to people and he wants to make sure no one talks to me.”
Carey plans on being in Massachusetts until Sunday. Then she’ll be home until Tuesday when she takes over for South Carolina. “Then me and Hannah Harper are going to tattoo convention in Texas,” Carey laughs. “Which is funny because neither of us have tattoos.” Carey said she went last year an was told she could come back with a friend. “Of course I’m bringing Hannah.” From there Carey will be dancing in Arizona and San Francisco.
I mention to Carey that maybe now I’ll be able to give her a calf massage. “I’d really like that,” she said. “I’m not kidding. You should do that.”
Asked what the breaking point was, Carey said her and No-Neck never had sex. “He’s a loser, a big steroid gorilla-monkey,” she says. “I think he’s really ugly. I never wanted to have sex with him- I think he’s disgusting looking. I thought maybe I had a problem that I wasn’t horny any more. So I cheated on him a lot. I was with this guy who was in Kid Rock’s band. Then I hooked up with Eminem’s manager. I would do all this. So I was horny but we never had sex. I think he was a disgusting gorilla. That was one thing. The second was, whenever I went out, I’d like to drink and have fun and he’d be mean to people and try to tell me to stop. I could only do this for so long.”
I ask Carey that if she felt that way about the guy, why did she marry him in the first place.
“I married him four years ago,” she explains. “I was a college student. I married him because my grandfather had died. My grandmother was very sick. He came into my life, and the first couple of months I thought this guy really loves me and I think I fell for the father replacement. He really treated me decently. He was like my dad, he really took care of me. He was, like, don’t do this, don’t drink. I think his problem was, his parents divorced when he was young. So he was always like the big brother to four brothers and sisters. He was the father-figure. I think that was enough to sustain our relationship and we got married when I was so young. It was not a normal relationship, and now I’m off doing boy-girl movies again, too. Thank goodness because I get a percentage of my sales at Kick Ass. But with doing girl-girl, they don’t sell as well.”
Carey assumes that one of the things that will be stated in the divorce is that No-Neck will contend that he made her career. “Playboy TV is kicking out my third season of Totally Busted. And they’re telling me I almost didn’t get the show because of Erik. And I’m sure I could get numerous people to say in my defense that he hurt my career more than he helped it. And when I was running for governor he wasn’t even around. Those are key facts in him not helping me to get where I’m at.” Carey said she’s also wanted to go to Porn Star Karaoke but was never allowed.
Carey asks me if I’d like to do a scene with her. “That would be great,” she says. Then Carey goes on to tell me about some guy she’s currently dating, a P.R. vice president for Morgan Creek, the movie company.
Yeah, I got a real hard on with that piece of information.
