Mark Gallagher Talks About XON; Oil It Ain't
Rumors have been flying, and Mark Gallagher of Seduction Enreprises says times have been hectic. Gallagher is currently moving his new company XON, a mail order business, into its new headquarters in North Hollywood. "It's funny that all this stuff seems to happen at the worst times," Gallagher says. "Everybody starts to get into a whirlwind when someone decides to do something new."
Gallagher, who has a background in the mail order business, says he's in the process of acquiring names and building mail order lists. "I'm looking to buy names, rent names, do all kinds of different things." One of the things that Gallagher has also apparently acquired is Terri Hess, formerly head of DechTar, one of the great mail order success stories of the early 1990's. Hess is a consultant to XON. One of the rumors going around was that Hess either owned the company or was a partner. Gallagher has this to say:
"Since Terri Hess had moved down here, I figured she knew how to build a mail order company faster than anyone else. I'm using her as a consultant to do that. By no means is she a partner in anyway of mine." Gallagher said his deal with Hess is month-to-month, money contingent on making a profit. Gallagher, who will maintain his video company, explains his reasons for getting into the mail order end of the adult business.
"I talked to a lot of people and I noticed the amount of product being sold out there has been dropping on a regular percentage basis every month, on every release," he said. "The prices are going down. I figure the best way to stay around in the long run was to not only to continue to make my own product, but to have a better outlet to sell it. Guys are selling stuff for as cheap as $2 out there, and the mail order people are pretty much paying the same thing they were 10 years ago for the most part. There's a higher profit margin selling to mail order customers than there is selling to distributors. The other main reason I wanted to get into it was to support Seduction Enterprises because I feel that, by me going to such people as Coast to Coast or General Video Mid Atlantic, or GVA Northwest who have Sin City, I can in turn support them by buying their product, now, and then maybe they can help support me by buying more of mine."
This is what Terri Hess has to say about her role in the XON scheme of things.
Hess said the rumors about her owning XON were bunk. "That absolutely is not true," Hess said. "The fact that I'm trying to do some things here and there to try to make a living, and to sustain myself is really no one's business. It's got nothing to do about me trying to make an entry into the adult business. I'm broke. I'm fucking bankrupt. What do people think is going on?"
Hess wasn't particularly specific about being a consultant for XON, either. "Well, I'm not sitting on my hands," Hess replied. "Mark [Gallagher] is a friend of mine. I do have friends in the industry. There are people in the industry who are interested in the mail order business. I have been giving some advice. Sometimes people like to call on me for opinions and expertise. It's available for money or friendship. It's a free country. It's my right to pursue my interests. I do not have a company. I don't have any assets. I don't have anything. I'm waiting for my trial to come up and see what comes of that. In the meantime, I'm trying to maintain my health by doing positive things. One of the reasons why I moved down here was to be in the sunshine and to relax, and so I wouldn't have to travel back and forth related to my trial."
According to Astral Ocean's Lysa Stone, a former DechTar employee, when Hess moved into the area, Stone said she got some inside track from some old DechTar friends who were coming down to do some consulting work for Hess. "The more details I got, it seemed to have something to do with Mark Gallagher," Stone said. "And Terri's ex-wife, Linda, was involved, too. They were going to take the remnants of Voyager and probably re-start Voyager. That's the way I understood it. I guess right now they're taking remnant orders. Catalogs have a big shelf life, so people that have called in from catalogs past, I guess they're processing those orders. I understood that they're going to do something with the Internet, I don't know exactly what that is. But they have quite a few employees over there. I can't figure out what they're all doing. They're in North Hollywood."
According to Stone, Hess supposedly grabbed some of the Astral employees for the new company. "She walks into Toshi and says, 'I'm hereby giving all your employees 90 days notice. They're all coming to work for me.' Toshi said yeah, okay, whatever. Toshi said to me, what balls. I can't believe she did that.
"Sure enough, our customer service manager, who's been here four years quits," Stone added. "I ask her if she was going over to Mark Gallagher. She says yes. I took her place. I added her job to mine. Then I had a really good customer service lead person, Chad Sanford, and I asked him, this is the deal, I'm pretty sure they're coming after you, too. What can I do to keep you here. He said, no I really like it here. On his year anniversary, two weeks later, he quits." Sanford, according to Stone, left Astral Ocean shortly after the Summer Expo.
Another key Astral employee told Stone two weeks ago that she was going to stay because she was going to school, but Karina Kortbein-Green, the vice president and comptroller gave notice to Astral this week, said Stone. "She [Kortbein-Green] handled our foreign sales, which, now, I'm going to do," said Stone. "We're stable. We're good. Things are surprisingly good."
Hess denies having come into Astral Ocean saying that Gold's employees were coming to work for Hess. "That isn't true. I've had conversations with Toshi because I've known him for about ten years. We have people in common that we're friends with. However I relate to Toshi has been honest and forthright. There's no vendetta. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have any enemies."
Mark Gallagher confirms that former Astral employees have come over to XON. "They approached me as far as they weren't particularly very happy in their jobs," Gallagher said. "I was approached by people who know how to run a mail order business. No reflection on Toshi, who runs a great business, but they said they were unhappy in their current situation and needed a change. We got a good team together, and I figured it was time to do it."
Astral Ocean's Toshi Gold doesn't exactly share the hail-fellow-well-met-sentiments.
Gold: "Several of my people who were very key, and unique, and had been with us for a very long time went over there. My philosophy is that everyone should grow, and if people want to throw insane amounts of money at employees, I don't hold anybody back. I'm not a slave master. They should, of course, be free to go. Good will to them. However, when we spend thousands of dollars recruiting people, because we have specialized functions that takes a lot more training, and we have six key people, and they take four of them, I find that part unconscionable.
"Each person that left, I said, if you think you're going to better yourself and grow, then do it. But they [XON] reached too far into too many people. This was the equivalent of Adam Film World saying we're going to compete against AVN, so we're going to take Gene Ross, we're going to take Darren, we're going to take three other people and do that within a weeks' period of time. It would be a complete, disloyal thing to leave AVN in a lurch with every person gone. Plus there's trade secrets - of knowing how things operate within the organization. We're pretty specialized.
"I don't fear competition because I know how difficult it is in the mail order business. There are dreamers who think they can get in and make $2 million. This isn't an IPO. It's something you have to develop over many years. The people behind this, their track record isn't so perfect. As far as Terri Hess personally owing us over $150,000, I never got in with people I could of, who asked me to join lawsuits and things like that against him. I'm not that kind of person to try and ruin somebody's life. I just think that the whole thing is irksome. I think there are people here who are more personally upset than I am.
"I don't play into the name-calling game, but they [XON] really don't want to piss me off. They should know better. I'm in a position to either help them, or, by not helping them, hurt them. As far as Mark Gallagher goes, I didn't receive a courtesy call about, hey, we're going to take half your employees. What do you think about this?"
Though Hess has denied it, Gold confirms Lysa Stone's story that Hess walked into Astral Ocean and bragged that he was going to take Gold's employees. "It was very bizarre," Gold remembers. "He came into my office. It was surprising to say the least that someone who is so indebted to you, would come in here and say about my key people that I had 90 days and everyone would be gone. It takes balls for someone who's got none. It takes a tremendous amount of vulva, clitoris, which I stepped on as he walked out the door which snapped back and hit him.
"It's an interesting story and soap opera, and some people have more time to dwell on those things," Gold continued. "But we have six different companies, and it's hard to sit there and play. If I get that wrapped up in shit, I would have a heart attack. There's a couple more employees here that we value desperately. Even though they [XON] would like to throw them lots of money, I'm grateful those people are staying here. It's not like we're Microsoft and I can just pay people 5 times their salary."
Michael Adam writes: "Hey Gene: Just wanted to say I read your post on the "Cattle call" yesterday and I though it was friggen funny..... Thanks again for coming and eating all of our turkey sandwiches..... Michael"
Gene sez: "It's hard to be friggen funny on an empty stomach."
Randy Kaplan writes about a comment made in the talent call story: "Gene - I object! I was never committed, it was voluntary!"
Gene sez: "Randy, I was referring to another nut case."
Annie's Doing Dallas
First it was JFK. Then it was the VSDA. Even though Annie Sprinkle doesn't go by inititals, she's definitely getting treatment in Dallas similar to the bum's rush.
News of the one-time porn star and current performance artist bringing her show about porn, Reel to Real, to Dallas this week, has caused a minor brouhaha in the book depository.
Though Sprinkle remains fully clothed in her one-woman traveling show, what's contained in her accompanying video clips culled from her notable and notorious film career apparently has the city in a mild uproar. An article in one of the local papers stirred up enough controversy that the Dallas Association for Decency contacted the Police Department's vice squad just in case Sprinkle's show stretched community standards to the breaking point.
"This is all based on what I've read," Dan Panetti, DAD's executive director, said this week. "It's from what I've read and not what I've seen, because I haven't seen it, and I have no intention of seeing it."
Panetti said DAD has always tried to let the public know about the threat of pornography and obscenity in Dallas and saw this as another occasion.
"A lot of things, like this show, really happen unnoticed," he said. "People go about their lives and try to stay away from things like this. They think there's nothing they can do.
"But when they realize how important it is to take a stand, we get a tremendous response."
Sprinkle's show which is running at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary through Sunday, has been described as a thoughtful and humorous evening of commentary on both watching and suppressing pornography. But it's clear no one, especially the people running the gallery, ever intended Sprinkle's show for family viewing.
DAD had asked the city's vice officers to attend the first performance and decide whether it violates obscenity standards. Consequently, a vice officer was going to attend yesterday evening [Wednesday.]
But it's unlikely police will take any sort of action. "When you're dealing with performance art, it's very difficult to prosecute under the obscenity laws," Dallas police said. "That's not what those laws were designed to do.
"Some people may well be offended by what they see, but we haven't been successful in pursuing these sorts of cases in the past."
Admission to the Dallas show is limited to adults older than 18. Thursday evening's performance is "Womyn's Night," strictly for women and men dressed as women. And Sunday's matinee is "Sex-Worker's Sunday," with discounts for people in the adult-entertainment business.
Mesa police suspends 7 officers suspected of having sex with one another in patrol cars
According to The Arizona Republic, six Mesa police officers and one civilian crime-scene technician have been suspended with pay, reportedly for having sex in patrol cars with each other while on duty.
Officials confirmed Wednesday that the officers and technician are being investigated over accusations of misconduct and dereliction of duty.
A police spokesman, said the department launched the investigation six weeks ago, and the report likely won't be completed until mid-September. Police would not identify the officers or say when each was suspended. The spokesman could not say whether the report contained criminal allegations.
"Nobody has been cleared yet, nobody has been disciplined, either," he said, adding that the officers were suspended with pay.
Although police would not specify what initiated the investigation, Channel 15 News reported that the officers were "allegedly having sex with each other in the back of patrol cars" while on duty.
The police department spokesman would not confirm or deny that report, calling it "speculation at this point."
Gloria Leonard writes re: comments made by Andrew Drake about her appearance on Geraldo live this week: "Of course Andrew Drake isn't going to like what Jeffrey and I had to say on Geraldo. Is it etched in granite somewhere that we all have to agree with Andrew? Democracy was founded on an exchange of voices and ideas and while he may think that what he does is an expression of free speech, there are indeed lines in the sand even for that. The adult entertainment community is based on the concept of creating materials by and for consenting adults - does he have releases for the unsuspecting women shown on his site? Read "release equals consent." And if indeed he does, then his business is fraudulent. Anyway you slice it, it shows up as yet another black eye for the blue business!

"LUKE FORD SUFFERS FOR YOUR SINS" A CANDID INTERVIEW WITH THE LEADING PURVEYOR OF GOSSIP ON THE SKIN FLICK TRADE
by Rodger Jacobs
"It is hard to laugh at the need for beauty and romance, no matter how tasteless, even horrible, the results of that need are. But it is easy to sigh. Few things are sadder than the truly monstrous." Nathanael West, The Day of the Locust
The command center for Luke Ford's suicide mission against the adult entertainment industry is a dank bungalow in Beverly Hills, a stone's throw away from the headquarters of Larry Flynt Publications. It is from this small and cramped bunker that Ford, the heretic son of a Christian evangelist, lobs his poisonous grenades filled with scurrilous gossip against the stars, producers, directors, and distributors of skin flicks via his website at www.lukeford.com.
Someday Luke Ford --- described by The Weekly Standard as "a kind of shaggy-haired, acid-washed Brad Pitt (who) serves as the industry's Matt Drudge" --- will be silenced, either by voluntary exclusion, banishment from the business he so despises, or worse. But until that fateful day the Australian-born hellion remains the most-visible sniper in a lone shooting spree against easy targets. For two years now Luke Ford has shaken the insulated establishment of the XXX trade by daring to expose their dark underside --- as if it wasn't already understood on a pandemic level that porn attracts "scum bags, dishonest types, showmen, scam artists, prisoners, and career criminals".
Ford's "report now, verify later" style of gossip-mongering has caused him to inherit a multitude of harsh critics, including porn journalist Gene Ross of Adult Video News, who, in a 1998 editorial, dubbed Ford "a pen-wielding Rosemary's Baby ... a keyboard vigilante with a penchant for a hanging. Ford, in my opinion, chooses to essay the role of some bow-wielding William Tell figure whose quest for truth and justice is achieved by methods best understood by the Ku Klux Klan."
A devout convert to the Jewish faith who feels "a strong attraction to pornography and sin, and to the flight from moral responsibility", Luke Ford is a human Rubik's cube, a complex maze of dazzling colors and contradictory schemes that rarely match up. At times he dutifully playsthe role of a self-appointed messiah, a weeping martyr wandering through the burning desert of sin and damnation with bleeding blisters on his bare feet. In contrasting moments he seems hedonistically immersed in the world of bare flesh and writhing orgasms, a fallen angel enjoying the lusty delights of human existence.
And like every writer seeking validation, particularly Internet scribes, Luke Ford sat down and wrote a book. Prometheus Books accepted Ford's challenge to the limits of his own audacity by agreeing to release his self-indulgent polemic, A History of X, upon the world. The book flap hails The History of X as "an in-depth comprehensive history of cinematic pornography", and hilariously salutes Ford as "the best known source on the contemporary world of pornography".
The critics don't share the lavish praise of Luke's own publishers. The January 1999 issue of Publisher's Weekly hacked into Luke's book, asserting that it achieves "neither coherence nor climax ... most disturbing of all, Ford doesn't appear to be especially well-informed on his topic." One magazine editor preferring to remain anonymous confided to me that he was "a little aghast that Prometheus let this book slip through ... it has no logical structure whatsoever." Stylistic criticism aside, A History of X is striking a chord with readers, ranking number 35 on Ingram Books list of the Top 50 requested pop culture titles for the week of June 14, 1999, right behind Gary Warner's General Hospital Scrapbook at the fourth ranking, and Rat Pack Confidential by Shawn Levy in the number thirteen slot.
It is with an odd mixture of pride and revulsion that I call Luke Ford my friend. He can be kind, affable, and keenly intelligent while possessing all the nasty traits of a venomous snake who bites simply for the sake of striking out at something --- in other words I have been the victim of his poison pen. What follows is an interview with a confused messianic prophet who I sincerely hope does not end up crucified on across of his own invention.
R.J.: How do you react to some of the hostile critical reaction A History of X has received?
FORD: I think the bad reviews the book has received are largely deserved. It is poorly written. Most of the original information in it was cut out by my editor for being defamatory, libelous, gossipy, etcetera. This is my first published book. It is an interesting process. I signed a contract with Prometheus in May of 1998. In November I first heard from my editor. I received my first two chapters from my original manuscript, which I knew needed lots of direction, in December, with a note asking for a three day turnaround. I was expected to write my answers to her dozens of questions, and pointers, on to the original manuscript. Then in January, I received the final nine chapters of my book with the same instructions. Needless to say, I could not pull together everything in three days and write it on to the original manuscript. I basically gave up, did what I could do, and thanked God that I have a website where I can write and publish what I want. As a book, A History of X is mediocre at best. But what other books are out there on the history of hardcore? None.
R.J.: Why do you think there has been so little literary output about the adult business?
FORD: Because it is such a low down scummy impolite subject to write about, so nice people stay far away. Having anything to do with porno, quite properly, carries social contagion. You are tarred, forever, with the muck of a sinful industry. Why read about porn? To learn about yourself and the world. The industry provides a superb testing ground for finding out what men want. Female demand for porn expressed in dollars spent is insignificant. Unless pornographers satisfy the needs of millions, they go bankrupt. While Ph.D.s theorize about sexuality, pornographers deal with its reality. By studying porn therefore, we are far less likely to study nothing than if we undertook graduate work in Sociology or English.
The sex industry grosses billions of dollars each year by appealing to the male daydream, to what motivates many of us to get out of bed in the morning to go to work. Revolving around lust and money, porn springs from the most primal desires. Pornographers live out the fantasies that haunt millions. By delving deep inside porn stars, we discover the results of getting what you want. Does fame, fortune, and fucking lead to happiness? The lives of such "actresses" as Marilyn Chambers, Ginger Lynn and Savannah provide differing answers. To ignore porn is to ignore life, to avoid facing dreams made flesh. Males learn quickly that few females and the religious will explore such visions. A lad who wants to win friends and influence people does not discuss his fantasies in mixed company. While women complain that men refuse to open up, men know that to voice what we truly think about invites shock, derision and anger. Women who seek to understand men should rent a few X-rated videos like Anal Analysis. That's what your loving father, husband, brother and friend ponder, Anal Analysis, Women Who Suck Cock and Eat Cum, Black Fuckers.
I'm sorry I had to be the one to give the bad news. Porn acts out our dirty desires. It does the things we can't or shouldn't, such as screw the neighbor's wife.That virtually all men in all cultures in all history desired an infinite variety of sex partners, and raped en masse when they could get away with it, debunks the notion that Hugh Hefner created promiscuity.
Most of my friends and religious community passionately oppose my decision to research porn. At best, they think it odd; at worst, evil. So why did I do it? To stroke my two greatest interests - myself and the world. By exploring porn I explore myself. I explore the fantasies I rarely utter. And by understanding my dreams, I feel more at peace.
Through understanding the sex industry I better understand humanity. It's wonderful to desire a better world, but first you must face reality. If you don't get your premises right, your crusade may do more harm than good. Understanding that porn springs from male desire more than male desire springs from porn, would save thousands of activists from wasting their time. Their focus is wrong. To adjust a quote from Shakespeare, our problems are not in our stars, or in our porn, but in ourselves. Inanimate objects like videos or guns or nuclear weapons do not cause evil, notes Jewish theologian Dennis Prager. People do. If a man remains single all his life because he will only settle down with a Playboy Playmate, that is his fault, not porn's.
R.J.: What compelled you to make the sex business the focus of your journalism?
FORD: The primary reason was professional - it had not been done, at least not since Sinema in 1974. I wanted to write about something that people would buy to read, and thus thought a history of X would be popular. I was right. The other reason was personal. I personally am interested in sex, and the sex industry. I feel a strong attraction to pornography, to sin, and to the flight from moral responsibility, and ultimately, God.
R.J.: Your Internet rival, Gene Ross, accused you of having "a weird obsession with Vito Corleone-types and lurking Mafia conspiracies." Do you still believe that organized crime exerts a strong influence in the porn community?
FORD: I think it still exerts an influence, yes. I think one valid perspective on the porn industry is to view organized porn as organized crime. Porn attracts the same people as organized crime - drug addicts, drug smugglers, psychopaths, scum bags, dishonest types, showmen, scam artists, prisoners, career criminals. The legality of porn depends upon community standards, and these are always shifting.
R.J.: You cover the infamous Traci Lords scandal in your book. Don't you believe that it was Traci who victimized the industry --- considering she willfully faked her I.D. in order to appear in porn --- rather than the other way around?
FORD: In Judaism, a child becomes a man at age 13. I hold Traci Lords responsible for her shenanigans, for the negative consequences she inflicted on people's lives and on porn. So yes, I believe Traci victimized porn, rather than the other way around. I feel funny using that language however. I feel that porn attracts unethical types like Traci. So saying Traci victimized porno is like saying Henry Hill victimized the Mafia. Porn deserves Traci Lords and Linda Lovelace and their ilk.
R.J.: How do you feel about Linda Lovelace's cries of victimization in her book "Ordeal"? Shouldn't these stories be taken on a case-by-case basis, rather than handed down as blanket indictments against the business?
FORD: The public's perception of porn as a form of contagion, moral, spiritual and physical, is basically correct. While on the surface there's nothing unethical or immoral about consenting adults filming consenting adults in consensual legal behavior, the consequences of porn, like those of homosexuality and other sins, are profoundly destructive and hence immoral. Porn is another form of rebellion against God. Porn is anti-God, and in the final analysis, God is the Creator, the source of life and of right and wrong. He is the repository of meaning. So while Traci Lords and Linda Lovelace are Very Big Liars, I have no problem with the public's kneejerk blanket indictment of porn as an immoral business. I agree with that. By the way, I view Hollywood, TV, teacher and lawyer unions, much of the Democratic Party, etcetera, as even more destructive. I believe that there are forces for good in this society --- churches, charity groups --- and forces for evil. Porn is a force for ill, for both the individual user and producer, and for his society.
R.J.: By your own admission your are not a regular consumer of porn. How do you feel qualified to write about a business that you apparently have such little affection toward?
FORD: I despise the particularly American preoccupation with credentials. That I've made a living for two years off my writing makes me a writer. That enough people visit my website and patronize its advertisers is all the "qualification" I need to write about porn. Or any subject. I see no need for a writer to like his subject, be it baseball or movies or porno. Empathy with one's subject is not necessarily better than lack of empathy for one's subject.
R.J.: Has porn permanently settled into the popular culture or is it just a passing phase?
FORD: The pornographic male imagination, which produces pornography, has been with us always. The amount of physical pornography in a society depends on its laws and mores and these will vary. If America undergoes a religious revival, porn will play a much smaller role in pop culture.
R.J.: Because of incendiary material you have posted on your website you have received death threats and numerous threats of litigation for slander. Would it be fair to say that Luke Ford is a man who lives his life in constant fear?
FORD: I live my life in frequent fear - of myself. Of my own moral weakness. My biggest struggles are with my evil inclinations. Dealing with the porno world and the outer world is much easier than dealing with my inner world. My problems are not in porn but in myself.
Search for Vagina Lands Two Dozen
If it was a soap opera it could have been billed as "Search for Vagina". If it was a quiz show, you probably might call it Let's Make a Squeal. In any event, the talent call at Metro Home Video Tuesday afternoon, in all probability, landed 24 additional live female bodies for the upcoming XXX-treme Adults Only vacation scheduled for this October in Mexico.
Metro's role in the evolutionary selection process was made quite clear from the outset. Either that, or at least producer/director Michael Adam repeated his spiel often enough that it finally sunk in. Metro, as one of the sponsors of the vacation, was using the trip as a good excuse to have gosh-darn verifiable south-of-the-border scenery in order to shoot 10 gonzos, 2 movies, and "a bunch of blow-jobs" for what would probably amount to least 70 to 80 sex scenes, according to Adam. At one point in the afternoon, an attack of giddyness, or, possibly oxygen deprivation suggested doing a buried-alive bukkake that would have some girl, up-to-her-neck in sand, sucking dick. Randi Storm, who's now a brunette, said she'd be up for that one.
"We need vagina," Adam, in a mock Jim South voice, would keep repeating in his intermittent phone calls to the real Jim South to rustle up World Modeling girls to come over to Metro for a look-see. Part of the look-see included a strip down, nude digital photo session snapped by the newly-wed Quaserman who was behaving much like a newly-wed.
"Nice cans," was the general approval rating voiced during the afternoon as girl after girl got naked - with Quasarman and Adam, who, facially, reminds you of a young Paul Cambria, humming the Herb Alpert/Dating Game tune for schlocky ambiance. As asses went, Vivian Valentine's rated particularly high on the list. "That would make a sharecropper want to release a bag of aphids," Adam mused in vague appreciation.
"What the fuck does that mean?" Quaserman, who resembles Tom Byron, wanted to know. Unfortunately, Donita never got to show her continental-sized cans because she stipulated that she only works with Lance Romance these days. And Romance, a bleach blond, was told if he didn't pony up for the trip out of his own pocket, it wasn't going to happen. It wasn't going to happen, but it didn't stop Romance from delivering a empassioned speech why he should be chosen to work in future vids for Metro.
Adam, Quaserman, fellow-director James Avalon, and Scott Stein, organizer of the vacation, set a quota of 50 girls and 10 guys for the trip. The guys, they said, were already locked in for the most part, so it was made quite clear that anyone with a penis cutting in on the talent call would be sent packing forthwith. Which, obviously, didn't stop Brick Majors from making a house call. "Somewhere there's a tanning bed and a lonely bench press machine not being used," Quaserman observed. Without any prompting, Majors, wearing a muscle shirt, went on to tell his tale of native harassment when he was on a shoot in S
