Porn Valley- Tessa West [second from right] was a guest of Tony Batman’s on KSEX, www.ksex.com last week. West, who’s from Oklahoma, attended Northeastern State University and modeled for Hawaiian Tropics. She subsequently moved to Tampa, Florida. There she got her start in the business shooting for Icy Porn.
Batman was curious why West would pick Tampa of all places to move to. West, who was 23 at the time and by herself, said she compared crime stats of various cities and thought that would be a pretty safe place. Always into girls, West said she started shooting b-g scenes first because it was easier to get work. Her first agent was Roy Garcia.
“I had a bad experience with the wrong person,” states West. “Roy Garcia still owes me money.” West said Garcia told her if she ever dragged his name into money squabbles she’d never see a dime.
“It’s been a year,” said West, noting that she hasn’t gotten paid anyway so she’s putting the information out there. What made matters worse, said West, is the fact Garcia also talked her into doing anal.
“It was my worst experience.”
West said she finally left Garcia and took seven months off thinking the whole business was like that. Upon her return, she signed with LA Direct.
Now engaged, West’s fiance lives in Boston and she comes to LA every two weeks and stays with Tommy Gunn.
Batman then brought up what happened to West at the Tampa Show earlier this month. After the awards show where West was a presenter, Batman said he got a text message from her saying she got arrested for having sex in a parking lot.
West said cops had been watching her and her boyfriend for at least a half hour then moved in. West said she was cuffed and thrown in the back of the police car.
“He [the cop] rips me out of the car and throws me in cuffs,” reports West. “I told them they had too much fun jacking off to me.”
West figures that was the comment that earned her an $80 ticket. According to West, she has a court date of November 1 in Tampa and on the ticket the cops wrote “vaginal intercourse and breast exposure.”
West figures the cops will have a tough time proving the case since there’s no videotape of the incident.
