wide search for the newest Countess Recula, to be the star of his upcoming vid, The Brides of Countess Recula. Mila was supposed to have been the original choice, but Schaffner's claiming he had to toss Mila out on her rear due to problems on the set. [Mila pretty much disputes all of Schaffner's story and call it "bullshit."
Schaffner: "Mila became a prima donna. She started bossing girls around, demanding the star treatment. While the cast members were in the process of having casts done on their teeth [for fangs], Mila was giving all a hard time. She was introduced to Donita, one of the co-stars, and when Donita put her hand out, Mila gave her a dirty look and wouldn't even shake her hand. She [Mila] just sneered, 'Didn't I already meet you at CES?' After that, Mila began demanding more money than what we originally agreed upon, saying that she was starting her own production company called Mila Productions, and that she would only do the video if I gave her 5% of the picture. I was shocked! We've not only had problems with the cast, it's been fun, like a family. I told her, well, let me talk to the investor, and I'll call you back. Of course the guy refused to give her more money. The next day when I called Mila, she was so intoxicated, I could barely understand her. I told her a 5% cut was out of the question, and that she'd have to stick with the original sum. Mila was informed that she had to attend a cast meeting the next evening, to go over her lines. Her response was, 'Why do I have to do lines with those other people?' A few minutes later she called me back and said she'd talked to her 'manager' and that if I didn't give her the 5%, she wouldn't do the picture. I told her, 'Ok, you're out, bye-bye.' When I informed the cast, they all started clapping. And then some of my cast members told me that at the XRCO, Mila sat at a table near them, and they heard her saying, 'Why are all these fucked up chicks getting these awards? I'm the best looking one here. I deserve them.' "
Mila: "This [shoot] was about five months ago. It's bullshit that I was acting like a prima donna. It's not true that I was bossing girls around. I didn't demand a star treatment. I love you for calling me, but none of this is true. The part about the 5% is true. About six months ago they told me they wanted me to do a 'bloody' vampire movie where I had to do all this nasty stuff - two double anals, a triple anal, two double vaginals, and serious hardcore like fisting and that European stuff. And then there was going to be all these snakes and blood. They were really gung-ho about it. It was going to be a long movie, and a lot of acting was involved. I was gung-ho about it, and I said, 'Let's do it.' Three months go by. They give me this script that's huge. And then they postpone it. I'm the last person to be a bitch to anybody, but I said to Rob, 'Look, this movie's really based around me. You guys are giving me $1500 for two double anals, double vaginals and all this other stuff, and all this acting plus four days on the shoot. You're giving me $1500. Give me $2000 and 5% of the net and let's work on it. They said no. I said, 'Guys, I can't do this.' What an asshole. Is that too much to ask? It's not like I was asking for $5,000. This is ridiculous. This is crazy. As far as being intoxicated, that's b.s. And I've never been a bitch with the other talent."
Mila apparently called Schaffner after she spoke to Gene Ross. "Mila screamed at me which was beautiful," said Schaffner. 'Why did you tell them that!?' "I told her I just told them the fucking truth," Schaffner said. "'Well, I'm going to sue you,' " Schaffner claims she said.
Schaffner: "Not a word of my story changes. It's the absolute truth. I guess I'm going to be in court for years over this one. I want to go on Judge Judy. 'You know, Judge Judy, we were hiring her because she's got this sickening looking ass.' Then, maybe she'd [Mila] would have to go in the backroom and show Judge Judy. I told Mila, if you're going to get all upset over the fucking truth, fine. But deserting a project that I've been working on for six months, a week before we shoot, fuck that. But actually we found a great Recula. It's still a secret right now. It was an international search. I had girls from England, Canada - once they found out that the role was open, boom-boom-boom-boom."
