Capri Cameron's comments made on this site several days ago about her being "free" of her Arrow contract are news to Ray Pistol, head of Arrow Productions. Pistol was asked to respond both to Cameron's comments and remarks made by Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof for whom Cameron worked at the Ranch.
Cameron wrote: "I'm finally free of my contract. With a disagreement over a carrot Pistol and I have finally parted our ways. Which is probably for the best since he doesn't put out the number of movies a month that my contract states. We have only done a movie maybe every other month. At which point there didn't seem to be a whole lot of a point in me even being in this business."
Cameron went on to write that this would give her the opportunity to see what else was out there and to check out other companies.
Cameron's remarks first prompted a call from Hof who had this to say.
Hof: "Capri said they [Arrow] weren't paying her. From my perspective, this guy [Pistol] is just a dirt bag. We made a deal to shoot at the ranch. The only stipulation was do not try and recruit our girls for any other films. He had his guy stars there. I said do not let these guys take phone numbers or try to get these girls into your business. If we do things, it will be here at the ranch. He said problem. Not only could he not control the people that worked for him, he couldn't control himself. I called him a few days later, and said why are my girls wanting to go to LA to shoot movie, now? He said I'll take care of it, I'll stop it.
"Not only could he not stop it, he was doing it himself. If he loses her, he absolutely deserves it, and I wish nothing but the worst for this guy because he's just a liar. We made a deal, and he didn't live up to the deal. I kind of kept my mouth shut about it, but now that she's leaving him...she's been working at the Ranch, anway...all the time, but this guy as far as I'm concerned is no good. He got a beautiful girl and he's lost her. If he had just worked with her and wanted her to do more movies, we could have done a bunch of movies at the ranch."
Ray Pistol responds: "All of this is interesting. I haven't been informed yet [about Cameron's termination]. Dennis was very unhappy with me after we made Kitty's Fantasy Ranch. I went in there. There was no mention, and I don't think it occured to anyone, about stealing girls."
Pistol says it was all a moot point when Cameron talked to him several weeks later about getting into the business. He says he laid out for her the advantages and disadvantages of being a porn star. "I gave her all the positives and negatives which is what I always do," Pistol said. "She took it all in and said she'd think about it. I didn't hear from her for about a month or so. Let's say two months later she showed up at my door. She was all unhappy with Dennis. So, we got her stuff and brought it all down here [Las Vegas]."
Pistol indicated the handwriting may have been on the wall when Cameron reneged on what he called a "moral obligation" to represent Arrow at the East Coast Trade Show in October. "She said she would do it," according to Pistol. "We bought the tickets and reserved a room months in advance. It was kind of disappointing that she would split without a phone call."
Pistol says he has yet to hear from Cameron other than a fax from her saying, 'Where's the letter saying my contract is no longer valid?' "I didn't exactly understand what the thing said," Pistol commented. Pistol says that Cameron's "carrot" reference refers to the last scene she shot for him in which the director wanted her to use a carrot instead of a dildo. Cameron said a carrot was "degrading".
"This is a young teenage girl going through some type of crisis," Pistol said. "It's self-created. It's not here. She's a good girl, bright and pretty. She can go somewhere in this business if she chooses to do so."
Pistol says he still has a two-year deal with Cameron that goes till August or September of 2000. "I have no axe to grind with anyone here," Pistol says. "It's true that Dennis was mad at me. When she came to me she had left him. He said that he felt the proper thing for me to have done was turn her away. I gave that considerable thought. There is an ethical dilema there, but I thought I needed to follow through on what I said I would do with her, because he changed his mind after that.
