CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Less than three months ago, ArchAngel signed Remy LaCroix to an exclusive six-month contract and she shot a handful of scenes. As of yesterday, ArchAngel announced that the company had severed its relationship with LaCroix due to creative differences.
"We're parting ways with Remy, but there's no bad feelings," said owner Gabe Guzman. "Despite the fact we have irreconcilable differences, we appreciate the time Remy spent with us. It's unfortunate, but we feel it's better to part ways and not waste anyone's time. At ArchAngel, we're a team that works well together and everyone is equal. Remy didn't fit that mold, so we're walking away."
"As a former performer, I have to say I understand the decision," said director Tori Black. "Any girl willing to put her company in a bad light deserves a release from her contract. Thank you to the fans that love and support us. ArchAngel is a family."
"I'm very sad my partner in crime will no longer be joining us, but I understand that even though we are a tight-knit family, not everybody gets along. I wish her well," says ArchAngel contract star Jada Stevens.
When contacted by AVN, LaCroix gave her own take on the breakup. "Call it 'creative differences' but I consider myself to be one of the few girls in this industry that requires a certain amount of professionalism," LaCroix stated. "I am happy to part ways and continue on my own, free journey."
"ArchAngel is still a young company and my focus is to continue to grow our brand the best way possible," said director MimeFreak, who is also the company's general manager. "Going forward, we will have another signing that we'll be announcing soon."
