Club Jenna has undergone a change in its lineup of exclusive contract girls with the recent departures of starlets Sophia Rossi, Chanel St. James, McKenzie Lee and Ashton Moore.
"We have chosen not to renew certain contracts. The girls will always be part of the Club Jenna family, and we fully support them in everything," CJI president Jay Grdina told AVN.com.
While Moore, St. James and Lee were unavailable for comment, AVN.com spoke to Sophia Rossi about her split with the company.
"I loved working for Club Jenna; it was a fantastic experience," Rossi said. "It was a great way to get started in my career. Right now, I'm just going through different negotiations and seeing which ones I feel are suitable for me. Basically, it depends on who's offering what I feel is decent, so that I can raise my family and be proud of my work and still be respected."
According to Rossi, her exit from the company came down to a contractual dispute. "I love performing, and I got held back in this sense because only three movies were released in two years," she said. "I want my fans to be able to have more of me, I want to rise to the top, and I can't do that if no one is releasing movies."
Rossi told AVN.com that she hasn't ruled out returning to Club Jenna and its owner Playboy in the future. She added that she is still making promotional appearances for the company and remains on good terms with both Grdina and Jenna Jameson.
"I just went to Jenna's birthday party, and we speak weekly," she said. "I do a lot of events for them still; I've always been the girl that draws a lot of fans, and as Jay has said, 'once a Club Jenna girl, always a Club Jenna girl.'"
The glamorous blonde starlet has several movies due out from Club Jenna, including Rossi's Revenge. "It's really incredible," she said. "It was directed by Bill Fisher in Miami, and it's super-hot and sexy…I think it'll probably be my best work to date. I'm really excited for it to be released. I did a boy/boy/girl in the movie, and Jay said it was the best scene he's seen of me – I worked with Marcus London, Tommy Gunn, and another guy. I also did a really hot, intense scene with Gina Lynn. It was off the hook!"
The current Club Jenna roster includes Jenna Jameson, Brea Bennett, Roxy Jezel and Jesse Capelli. According to Grdina, former contract girl Krystal Steal will join the company for this year's Erotica L.A. expo.
"I am really happy with our current group," Grdina said. "We are very lucky. We have great relationships with all the girls previous and current."
