> Jimmy D writes on www.simplyjimmyd.com: I just read Gene Ross’s article recounting the alleged unresolved differences arising from J.T. Bone’s dealings with Damaged Pictures. I say “alleged” because, truthfully, I don’t know much of anything about it. I do, however, know the players involved. I have had, or still have, business relationships with all of them. The “have had” refers to Bone. The “still have” refers to Damaged.
Personally, and let me say, upfront, no one has contacted me asking me to write this, but personally and based on my knowledge and experiences with the players involved in this dispute, I feel compelled to say that in all my dealings with Damaged Pictures, that is, with Blaine, Steve, and Lewis, I’ve always known them to be straight-up guys. I can’t say the same for Mr. Bone.
No, I don’t have an axe to grind with John T. Bone. He is what he is and most people who’ve done business with him, whether as a shooter or a performer or whatever, knows of what I speak. I’m not trying to get into a pissing match with John nor am I going to recount actual events or experiences of which I have first-hand knowledge. But my first-hand knowledge of all these guys, both Damaged Pictures’ people and Mr. Bone, leads me to question the seemingly one-sidedness of what’s being said in Gene’s article.
I’m posting this because, sometimes, only one side of a story with one, apparent, point-of-view, gets publicized and I’m an equal-opportunity kind of guy.
If someone handed me a piece of paper with the four names recounted in Gene’s story on that list and said, “Of these people, who do you trust?” My answer would be immediate and not require any thought whatsoever. I would name three of them and only one person on that list would not be in my reply.
> Kenny Wilson of Alicia Silver Productions posts on www.pornstarperformance.com:I dont typically like to create drama but I had to come on here and warn people about Stephanie Wild www.foxxxmodeling.com and Desree Dupre www.exoticstarmodels.com. Stephaine complained from the moment she walked in my door. She hated her makeup and wanted to wash her eye makeup off. She had a horrible attitude on set and complained that the scene was rough. Any model will tell you that we have ther most laid back set and ONLY produce “Vanilla” scenes for Playboy. Our scenes are about as easy as they come.
Desree was another complainer. She only does Solo and GG which is %100 fine for the scene I was shooting. But these are her limits NO Kissing NO licking pussy. I had to pay her top dollar rate for GG and she wouldnt kiss or lick pussy. What else is there to do? ON top of all this she had the nerve to show up without her id’s and demanded to be paid on the spot.
Be warned……..
> Dino Velvet posts on www.xxxporntalk.com: Eli….is Gene Ross picking on you…..come on now. Its not him….Its you Vs. your “renegade” girls and what you need do in the future is be a little more selective in choosing what type of girls to work with just as they should be more choosier in what agent they should have repping them or at least keep your pimp hand strong….I know its all about the $$$…..but for fuck sakes Eli….Ann had Dreds so you had to fix her….hopefully you have learned your lesson. Don’t try to fix an already fucked up chick. Lexi gave you a call for more Florida bookings since she probably burned all of her bridges and you were her only…pardon the pun ALTERNATIVE!!! BTW..by stating that no one else can rep them in Florida if they sign on with you…. How do you expect Lexi to find work back there? As for references…all agents have them…..just like in the Gene Ross story you that said have moles who feed you information about the girls….the same would be true for references as well…but don’t worry I don’t think you’ve cornered the market on that scam as of yet.
> Eli replies: If I see potential in a girl, I will help her be successful (within reason). Course there are always the risks that our company looses because we put effort into helping a model succeed and the model does’t appreciate it.
However, “Keeping my Pimp hand strong”, isn’t my style. Anyone who has been doing business with me over the past 6 years, knows that very well. Even the girls who complain about me. But, let’s face it. NOT ONE agent has pleased 100% of the girls or the client 100% of the time.
I do a pretty good job keeping the piece between the two. Especially since, I have represented hundreds girls over the years.

“I do a pretty good job keeping the piece between the two.” … I don’t think his misspelling of ‘piece’ is a mistake. His male models suffer the worst, while he is busy trying to keep his ‘piece’ in there. Dino, you are a Godsend for recognizing this guy is a joke to the industry.
> Dino Velvet writes: My repeated attempts to wake producers up is going no where fast…..Like I said before they have no backbone so they will continue to follow his lead like a legion of zombies that they are. Its too bad really….If you actually don’t like someone/thing in real life just boycott it…..usually they change there business plan and make a formal apology for being a moron or die off…..but it seem in this business….the old political joke….business as usual is too also alive and well. They will find out the hard way sooner or later….I hear now hes soooo big that he doesn’t really have time to meet with the girls individually….funny I have never heard anyone ever say that about Jim South….he’s a more hands on guy…..and he has a reputation to protect…unlike Eli just in it for the all mighty dollar.
