In the war of names, which eventually became the war of attorneys' letters, the actress formerly known as Stryc-9, says, take the name it's yours. Well, no, not really. Because Extreme Associates swears, and always has, on a stack of bibles that the name Stryc-9 is theirs.
In a classic path of least resistance maneuver, Stryc-9 says she's going back to using the name Cherry, the name she first started working under.
"This is getting into a big pissing match," Cherry says. "It's getting childish. It's getting overdone. He's [Rob Black] harassing other companies. This is turning into a big catfight. I'd just rather be the bigger person and just give it up get on. I've had it going with Rob for six months now and everytime you hear the name Stryc-9, it's synonymous with Rob Black. I'm tired of listening about Rob Black everywhere I go. I just want to get away from that." Cherry says for six weeks that she was in the business [before she went to Extreme], she was Cherry.
The breaking news developments were a shocker to Black.
Black: "Really? I didn't know...my attorneys had to send them [Stryc 9's attorneys] Stryc-9's contract. We were laughing because her contract is iron clad. Her contract says we own the copyrights to her name."
DK responds to the Bruno/Jim South comments posted on yesterday's site. Bruno claims that DK, a manager, is trying to use leverage to sleep with Bruno's girl, CJ Bennett. South, among other things, says DK isn't a manager. DK heads up Royal King Entertainment Enterprises.
DK calls both Bruno and Bennett "psychos". DK says he lined up Bennett recently with Luciano who was doing a shoot.
DK: "I booked her [Bennett] and that was it. She did a scene for Extreme and that was about three or four days ago. Bruno called up screaming and hollering. Apparently he was jealous. I guess he wanted to be in the scene. He called me telling me he heard Bud Lee was hitting on his girl. I told him, look, I've got nothing to do with that. Call Bud Lee if you've got a problem with him. I don't know why Bruno would call with something that was totally false, totally untrue.
I don't want to have sex with her [CJ Bennett]. I don't have sex with any of my girls. I have a reputation for not even going there with my girls. People like Regan Senter who is a slimeball in my opinion, that is something he requires in order for him to book a girl. I don't need to sleep with girls I get work for. If you met me, you would see why I would not even have to come at a girl. I'm a very, very good looking man, so that's not even an issue.
Regarding the women [Natasha Blake, Bobbi Bliss, Sonja Red and others] which Bruno claims DK was supposed to have compromised:
DK: "Sonja Red is one of my girls. I manage her. She works for my agency. You can call her up and ask her, 'Has your manager ever tried to have sex with you?' And she'll tell you no. Call up Jennifer Leigh and she'll tell you no. They'll give you nothing but positive, wonderful comments about me.
"I'm relatively new. I've been in existence for about eight months. I'm small but I'm growing. I give my girls personal attention in that I don't have 300 girls. When you have that many girls you can't get them all enough work. So I try not to overextend myself.
"I found out through Jennifer and a couple of other people that C.J. Bennett and her boyfriend are psycho. Because just before I booked her she had told me her and Bruno had broken up and that he was psycho and very jealous. So, for him to call and say I had done that, really hurts me. That is so far from the truth. I am a professional and all my girls will vouch for me.
DK addresses comments made by Jim South, particularly those that DK allegedly collected phone numbers from girls in South's office to set up his managerial business.
DK: "The one thing that disturbs me about the porno business is that people tend to fabricate things and say things that are not true. I used to be talent. I signed up with Jim South last year some time. I would go into his office and do what everybody else would do - wait to meet some of the directors, producers and female talent. First of all, there's no way unless you're a producer or director, to get phone numbers from the office. They have them in these big binders with pictures and the numbers. So you would have to be a producer or a director to even see those pictures and those numbers. I didn't have my own company at that time. I was just male talent. For him to say I was getting numbers from his office, there's no way I would have been able to do that.
"What had begun to happen, one day, I pulled up in front of Jim's office. I was going upstairs. This black girl named Pebbles was coming down the stairs and she remembered me from a few days before that. She asked me, 'Do you think I can do well in this business?' I said I don't know. 'You'll have to change the way you dress,' I told her. She was dressed like she was going to the laundromat. She was a very cute, very sexy girl. I said you need to show your assets instead of hiding them, wearing these baggy clothes. She said, 'I don't have a place to stay. I don't have a car. Would you be my manager?' Just like that she asked me. I already had a few other girls I was managing and thought I'd give it a shot. I said, 'Sure, I'll be your manager.' So I had to find her a place to stay. I had to take her around because she had no transportation.
"What happened was, one of the other girls I managed [Chanté] was going to let her stay in her hotel but she had to go with me to a shoot one day. It was a long, drawn out shoot. She got upset, pissed off and wanted to leave. Finally, we all left after the shoot was over. I took her over to Chanté's hotel so she would have somewhere to sleep. Chanté, unfortunately, really didn't want her to be there that night. She told Pebbles I'd really like to be there by myself. Anyway, she let her stay there. Pebbles started asking Chanté personal questions: how long was DK her manager, what percentage commission do you pay him, how much do you make, how much will you make when you go on the road to San Francisco, questions you don't ask someone that you don't know.
"She [Pebbles] decided, for whatever reason, she didn't want to deal with me. I had made that decision already. She has a bad attitude, she's very unprofessional, she's just not someone who I really wanted to do business with. She went to Jim South and told him DK was going to charge her 20% to manage her. Jim approached me about it one day. 'Jim,' I said. 'She came to me. This woman has no car, she has no place to stay, she has no clothes. I said I have to provide all this for her? I said 20% is fair. He didn't like it. He got ticked off about it. That's what that was. That was the only incident that ever happened between Jim and me. That was it. Since then, I haven't been in Jim's office. I haven't even talked to him. But he is not happy about the fact that a lot of his girls want to come to my agency because I provide things for the girls that he doesn't. For example, he's not really concerned if a girl can or cannot get to her shoot. I provide transportation for my girls who do not have transportation to a shoot. That's a reflection on me, if I book one of my girls for a shoot and she's 2 1/2 hours late or she doesn't make it. There's other things I do.
"I booked Amia Amore for a photo shoot about a week and a half ago in Malibu. I told her exactly what she needed: a glamor dress, a bikini and like three sexy pair of panties. She really didn't have these items, so when I picked her up, I took her to the mall and went into my own pocket and I spent close to $500 on buying her what she needed for that shoot. She got paid for that shoot, and I didn't even ask for anything. I didn't ask her to give me a percentage. I consider her more like a friend. She needed money and I got her a job. These are the kinds of things I do for my girls. There's no other agents that would go in their pockets and spend close to $500 for attire for a shoot. Nobody.
"These are the kinds of things Jim South's found out about me, and he's very nervous. He's been in business for 25 years, and, obviously, he's built a name for himself. For someone new like me to come along, I've made some serious contacts in this business. I'm a very likable person, very professional. I have some very decent clients that I provide talent for. They're all very happy with my services. My clients can vouch for me. The proof is in the pudding. Jim South is not happy. Some of Jim South's girls have come to me and said, literally, 'Fuck Jim South. He hasn't got me work in eight or nine months. When I call him and tell him I need work, he doesn't care. He doesn't call me back. He doesn't try to get me work.'
"I'm known for getting my girls work. I don't sit on my ass in my office like Jim South does and wait for a producer and director to call and say, okay, we have a shoot. This is the casting list. Are these girls available? I don't do that. I'm out and about in my car. I'm driving around making contacts. I'm going to various companies' offices showing them my portfolio. For example Luciano and Lane Parker at Extreme, they recently hired me to provide new talent that does anal without condoms. Jennifer Leigh was one of them. I provided them with two other girls. One did flake. The other did show up. Luciano just started his series. I showed him my portfolio. He wants to continue to use me. The girls I provided him with got there on time, they did a great job and had a great attitude. Basically Jim South's thing is that, okay, I've got this competitor, now, so he's nervous. He's going to say something about one incident and make a mountain out of a molehill.
"I've never done anything to Jim. I've never slandered his name. A friend of mine, Paul - his girlfriend, Selena del Ray, signed up with Jim. Paul told me that he overheard Jim South say that he wanted to break my legs. That really hurt me that someone would even say something like that, publicly. When I used to go to Jim South's office, he was always very nice to me, I was always very nice to him. We never got into any arguments. For me to hear those things hurt me because I didn't think he'd be the kind of person to say things like that. He and Ben Fischler were talking one day, and it got back to me that they said they wanted to break my legs. That was merely for the fact that I'm making a name for myself. The girls that work for me are happy because I treat them with respect and dignity.
"I was in the car business for ten years. I left the car business to start my own company, and I've been doing very well in the short time that I've been in existence.
DK first performed under the name Blade Runner and then decided to change it based on Chaz Vincent telling him that another male performer had the name, Blade. He then changed his name to DK, the initials of his real name.
DK comments on the Houston 500 gangbang and DK's off-camera stint with a fluffer. DK was one of the 500-plus.
DK: "Chaz, not Jim was the one who sent me out on that. She was the one who introduced me to Jim Malibu, and he booked me for it. It disturbs me when people say things that are not true. If you talk to anyone who was in charge, all the fluffers were there on sight. I was fluffed on camera, in front of everybody. To be quite honest, this one girl was so good, she made me cum. I had to wait for a long time for my turn. I was standing around like the other guys jacking off trying to keep a cool head and stay motivated.
"I said I'll never do another gangbang. There was just too many guys. It was a fiasco. It was unreal.
DK explains his connection with Chanté.
DK: "When Chanté got here about three months ago from Florida, I met her through a friend. She was staying with Guy DiSilva for a couple of days. She was uncomfortable there. She was unhappy there. One day friends of mine, Paul and Salena [del Ray], and I drove over there and picked her up. She came with us and got a place at the Homestead Village Hotel in El Segundo. Paul was supposed to take her to a shoot with Max Hardcore. Paul couldn't take her. He asked me if I would take Chanté. That's how Chanté and I started our relationship. She doesn't drive. She can't drive. She's legally blind in one eye. She asked me if I would be her driver/manager/security person. I drove her around, booked shoots for her, showed her picture around to various producers and directors. She got a lot of work and made a lot of money.
"She had a scene for Puritan. What happened was, the guy named Rafe she was supposed to be doing a scene with, couldn't get wood. So they brought John Decker in. What happened was, John Decker asked to see her test. She didn't have to show her test to Rafe because they worked two days ago, and it was current, so he didn't need to have to see it again. But [for Decker] she could not find it. She had me looking all over for her test. I looked in the car, looked everywhere. She said it had to be back at her hotel room. I drive from Sherman Oaks to El Segundo at 11:30 at night. I'm looking around her hotel room for her test. I couldn't find it anywhere. I leave the hotel. I had a friend helping me look for it. My trunk was loaded with Pebbles' luggage; Chanté's luggage because she had to catch a plane that night to San Francisco for a feature dance. I had to pull everything out of my trunk. My friend is looking through all that stuff. I'm inside in the hotel room looking. She really needed this money. It was like an $1100 job for her.
"What happened was, Jeff from Puritan was the director. He was stressing out because Chanté had to catch her plane. I called the airline and canceled her flight that night and rebooked it for the following morning so he wouldn't be so stressed. He was very grateful to me for doing that. He gave me a Viagra as a gesture of appreciation. I didn't need it because I've never had a problem with wood. Finally, after everything was over, we were driving back to Chanté's hotel. Chanté found the test under the seat of my car. I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. She found it but it was too late. They had to cancel the shoot. She got a kill fee of $300.
"Anyway, we get back to her hotel and Chanté discovers her laptop is missing along with a little stereo. She said she left her window open. I don't know what happened to her laptop and stereo, but for some reason, she was so upset about it because I was the last one to leave her hotel. But, mind you, I picked her up 10:30 in the morning to take her to the shoot. So, from 10:30 in the morning till two o'clock in the morning anyone could have gone into her room. She's on the first floor and there's no security entrance that you have to go through. Anyone can walk on the premises, and it was very easy to pull the screen off and get in.
"I have a friend who got a phone call from somebody Chanté did not like - a guy that wanted to be in her life and wanted to stay in her room. His name was Tiny. The friend said Tiny was asking him if he knew anyone that wanted to buy a stereo and a laptop computer. That's how I found out who did it. He went into her room when we were gone on that shoot. I believe he did it to set me up because he wanted to be Chanté's boyfriend and stay in her hotel. Paul, Salena del Ray's boyfriend, was paying all of his hotel expenses. Tiny asked if he could come down from Canada and be with them because they're friends.
"I never said anything to Tiny. The guy's like 375 pounds and 6'2". I can't beat the guy up and I'm not going to shoot him over some bullshit. I never confronted him, but I found out that he was actually the one who went into her room and took that stuff. But Chanté was so upset. She couldn't imagine who else could have taken the stuff. She wanted to blame me. So she was going around and saying DK must have took her stuff. She had no proof. Since then, she went into Jim South's office and cleared everything up. She knew that there's no way I could have done that.
"There's a lot of weird and crazy stuff that goes on in this business. You get accused of things that you're not responsible for. I've seen people accused of having AIDS and they don't have it. This business is very cutthroat. I'm a professional, college educated. I come from the mainstream world, corporate America. Then I decide to open my own company and I'm dealing with this bullshit. There's been times I've considered getting out of this business because of all this bullshit. It's like a big soap opera. People go around saying things about people and they don't have facts. When you go around assassinating someone's character on hearsay, unless you're willing to take them to a court of law and prove all these things, you can be sued for slander. And I can take these people to court and ask them to prove that these things have occurred. They're not going to be able to prove it. Because it never happened.
