Sources indicate that the "various talent" Luke Ford refers to when he comments on his site about certain people not being paid by Scott Stein [smspromotions.com ] for the Mexican trip last year were, Malitia, Temptress and Eve Adams. No "crew" was involved. Stein wouldn't comment on the names of the performers, but he did say this: "I've never been contacted by Luke Ford. I guess that's a loss. But if he were to check his facts, three people were not paid because they did not live up to their commitments. The other 40 were paid. Their [the Mexican three] commitment to me was to be available and socialize with the guests, x-amount of hours per day. They did not live up to their signed agreement. So, I did not pay them. They stayed in their rooms doing whatever. I wasn't even asking them to do anything out of the norm. It was like please sit by the pool, go horseback riding, be accessible to the guests. They didn't do that. This is also timely given that Luke's reporting on this five months later. As far as 'crew' I had one person working for me. That person was compensated. All of the "crew" were hired by Pleasure Productions. The only crew I had was Rebecca Bardoux who served as a talent coordinator. I pride myself on my stellar and ethical reputation in the adult industry from my days as AVN's managing editor to my current title as director of marketing for Metro. I offer an open invitation to Luke Ford to contact me.
