This blog exists to celebrate human sexuality, sex workers, and exhibitionists. That’s been the goal from the very beginning, but over the past few months, it has been tough to remain positive and ignore the glaring problems within the adult industry. Whatever your opinion is on “cancel culture”, I believe that people should be held accountable for their actions, especially when they’ve shown no remorse or barely apologize for their misdeeds.
Because of this, I’ve decided to keep a public list of models and studios that I won’t be writing about on this site. Take note that this isn’t entirely comprehensive, and this is based on my own ethical code. I’ll try to update this as new stories develop. While I don’t consider this a “news” blog, I do think this is helpful information for porn consumers to be more conscious about where their money’s going or who they’re propping up as desirable.
Though I have previously written about a few individuals (or sites) on this list, I will no longer be featuring any of them in the future. If there is someone that you believe belongs on this list, please feel free to DM me or leave a comment.
UPDATE: This post was originally published on June 24, 2020 and last updated on April 17, 2022 to include Sergeant Miles’ participation in the January 6 insurrection.
Scroll down for an alphabetical list of problematic models and studios…
Alex Meyer – In a now-deleted tweet, Meyer came out in support of JustForFans owner Dominic Ford, who was recently accused of sexual assault by several models.
Alex Puller – Responded to allegations against Johnny Tattoo by centering his own experience in the narrative, stating that he wasn’t taking sides while also blaming the victim.
Antonio Biaggi – Racist.
Aspen Solomon – Accused of child molestation.
August Alexander – Violently assaulted porn star Bobby Ryker, resulting in him getting dropped by his management and fan sites. When called out on it, he responded, “get over it”. Previously, appeared in MAGA rape porn with known Trump supporter Sergeant Miles, and to make matters worse, tweeted that he enjoyed making and being a part of the production. When confronted on Twitter, August responded to us, “So we should cancel people for having different ideals and views on things? My interaction on set and with him were pleasant and I had a great time… and that’s my takeaway”
Beaux Banks – Accused a fan of “clout chasing” for rightfully calling out Diego Sans on his problematic behavior. Beaux has a history of siding with the wrong people and complaining about cancel culture, and he has previously been called out for his friendship with known Trump supporter Jake Porter.
Ben Masters – Fired from CockyBoys after sharing a racist video on Instagram.
Bi Guys Fuck – See GayHoopla on this list, or read more here.
Billy Santoro – Oh gosh, you name it! Santoro was accused of physically and emotionally abusing his husband Seth in 2017, yet he continued to receive work in the adult industry for years. He has made headlines for fat-shaming, sharing extremely racist comments on social media, and allegedly faking his own suicide to gain sympathy. This isn’t even a full list of his offenses.
Brian Bonds – Appeared in MAGA rape porn with known Trump supporter Sergeant Miles, then defended his participation in the film by claiming that it was intended to make fun of Trump’s base. The clip in question features a married gay couple drugging and raping a Trump supporter.
Brian Michaels – Had a Confederate flag tattoo on his hand.
Bryan Hawn – He’s not technically a “porn star”, but he has an OnlyFans account and over 42,000 followers on Twitter. His past tweets have included racist and antisemitic content, as well as support for Donald Trump.
Cameron Diggs – White supremacist.
Chi Chi LaRue – Accused of sexual assault by gay porn star Papi Suave and has a long history of fetishizing Black men in problematic ways.
Colby Jansen – After being called out on a wildly inappropriate Cinco de Mayo post, he doubled down by sharing an unhinged rant that was reeking of white nonsense and toxic masculinity. He was unabashedly supportive of Johnny Rapid after the gay porn twink allegedly beat his girlfriend, and he continued to work with Ricky Larkin and Daniel Hausser after both were called out for racist comments.
Colby Keller – Voted for Donald Trump in 2016, attempting to intellectualize it as a “vote against a corrupt system”.
Dallas Steele – White privilege masked as patriotism, Dallas has been vocal on Facebook that America is “one of the greatest countries on earth”, and if you disagree, you should “pack your bags and get the hell out”. He also refused to be tested for COVID-19 after a potential costar asked, stating that everyone was being “paranoid” about the virus.
Damien Kyle – Racist.
Daniel Hausser – Mickey Taylor called him out on using the N-word, to the point that he wound up producing an absolutely absurd YouTube video defending himself.
Dick Chibbles – Supported Trump and regularly tweets factually inaccurate political conspiracy theories.
Diego Sans – Released a 6-minute long video defending his usage of the hashtag below, stating that he has nothing to apologize for. The clip reeks of cis male entitlement to a word that he has no right to reclaim. After the photo and video resurfaced in 2020, he has remained silent on the issue.
Dolf Dietrich – This one’s a bit, uh, murky. His ex-boyfriend Jack Mackenroth claimed that he broke into his apartment and assaulted him, after Jack (allegedly) found a large stash of child pornography in Dolf’s possession. Jack later apologized and implied that he may have lied about some details. The full truth may never be known, or this could be a developing story. Either way, I will be avoiding any work by Dolf or Jack for the foreseeable future.
Dominic Ford – After he failed to bring 3D porn to the masses, he launched the platform JustForFans and began releasing his own content. He was recently accused of sexual assault by Tannor Reed, Justin Stone, and other performers within the adult industry.
Dustin Gold – The long-forgotten Helix Studios model was caught on camera shouting a racist slur at a sanitation worker.
Fraternity X – In 2013, the site released a scene with retired performer Ava Keading that blatantly depicts date rape.
FTM Men – Though I believe trans men are woefully underrepresented in porn, multiple trans models who’ve worked with producer Jason Sparks have expressed that he is horrible to work with. Stories include alleged sexual assault, contractual violations, underpaying models, and inaccurately describing models’ genitalia in scene descriptions.
Gabriel Cross – Publicly shared that he voted Tory in a 2019 election.
Gay Hoopla – In May 2021, multiple models fled the site due to pay cuts, lack of filming opportunities, and perhaps most egregious, zero testing for COVID-19 or STIs. Additional accusations were made that the studio places straight models in uncomfortable positions, pressuring them to not speak up with the cameras rolling. The studio is extremely controlling about their models’ filming OnlyFans content and working with other studios.
Helix Studios – Former models have spoken out about the studio, making claims of sexual assault, rape, drugging, breaking into model’s homes, supplying alcohol to underage models, and more.
Hot Guys Fuck – See GayHoopla on this list, or read more here.
Hunter Scott – There are too many things to list. I’ve shared a Twitter thread about this topic.
Ian Frost – Made headlines for attending a house party in New York City during lockdown, sharing several videos to his Instagram stories.
Icon Male – Almost all scenes on the site are directed by Chi Chi LaRue, and it is unclear if the site will move forward without her as a director.
Jake Harding – Known primarily for his work on OnlyFans, he was charged of rape and assault in New Hampshire. Multiple models have spoken out about his manipulation and shady business practices.
Jake Porter – Has actively supported Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and Milo Yiannopoulos.
Jason Sparks – Multiple performers have privately informed me that Sparks is involved in shady business practices, ranging from alleged sexual assault, violating contractual agreements, extorting trans bodies for profit, and underpaying models.
Jason Sparks Live – Quite obviously, this site is produced by Jason Sparks.
Jay Crew – In 2021, Jay retweeted a MAGA account expressing that he believes Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA are “terrorist groups”.
Jessa Rhodes – Open supporter of Donald Trump. Regularly shares and retweets conservative talking points.
Jock Pussy – Much like FTM Men, this site is produced by Jason Sparks. Multiple trans models have privately told me stories that include alleged sexual assault, contractual violations, underpaying models, and inaccurately describing models’ genitalia in scene descriptions.
Johnny Rapid – Back in 2014, he allegedly beat his girlfriend after she refused to have a threesome with an underage girl they met at a bowling alley. In the documentary I’m A Porn Star, he openly discusses fucking his girlfriend until she bleeds.
Johnny Tattoo – Performer Emma Sirus shared a detailed account on Twitter that includes both physical and sexual abuse. (Screenshots here.) Other performers have chimed in that this isn’t the first time Johnny has done something like this. To make matters worse, Johnny updated his Twitter bio with a link to watch his video with Emma for free.
JustForFans – The platform is owned by Dominic Ford, recently accused of sexual assault by Tannor Reed, Justin Stone, and other performers within the adult industry.
Kenna James – Reportedly voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, stating in an interview, “I believe [he] is somebody that will actually take charge. I want a businessman instead of a politician in the office. I’ve seen where the politicians have gotten us and it’s not a good place.” She is one of several porn stars on this list that continues to get work for major sites.
Levi Rhodes – The former Helix Studios model has been involved in multiple physical altercations. When called out for using the N-word, he claimed that he’s “browner than most” and has every right to use the word. File this one under “messy twink”.
Logan Long – Posted a video for free without a model’s consent. Though he removed it, he swiftly proceeded to repost it when the model unfollowed him on Twitter. Yikes.
Logan McCree – Though he hasn’t appeared in any movies since 2017, McCree is a known men’s rights activist.
Lucas Entertainment – Though many talented performers have worked with the studio—and continue to do so—the studio’s owner Michael Lucas has a long, long history of problematic behavior. (Scroll down for more on that.) Additionally, they are one of the only gay porn studios that continues to hire known conservative Sergeant Miles. Please think twice before paying for their content.
Marco Paris – Called out for using the N-word in a tweet promoting one of his videos. In defending himself, he claimed that he considers himself POC and repeatedly continued to use the word to describe himself.
Marcus London – Spent most of December 2021 retweeting anti-vaccine misinformation, conspiracy theories, and propaganda against mask mandates.
Markus Kage – Referred to an UberEats driver as a “dirty” n-word. (Receipts here.) When questioned about this, he replied that “people are sensitive bitches these days”. He attempted to justify his usage, because the driver allegedly stole his cheesecake. On top of all this, he has spread misinformation about COVID-19, referring to it as a “regular ass flu” that people are overreacting about.
Maverick Men – Cole and Hunter maintained a close relationship with Manhunt.net owner Jonathan Crutchley, regularly attending pool parties and invite-only spanking events at his mansion in Brookline, MA. Crutchley famously made headlines in 2008 for his donation to Republican candidate John McCain’s presidential campaign.
Michael Jackman – Yet another porn star who shared an outrageously bad take about COVID-19.
Michael Lucas – Outwardly Islamophobic and politically conservative, a recent Str8UpGayPorn blog post listed additional offenses such as “harassing and stalking models, illegally selling revenge porn videos featuring men who did not give consent or sign 2257 forms, injecting people with illegal drugs on his film sets, rigging awards shows, releasing racist porn movies, and being found guilty in New York state court for not paying employees.” He is known for planting stories that get people talking about him, then threatening legal action when his own words lead to negative consequences. He is, without a doubt, one of the gay porn industries biggest villains and bullies.
Mike Dozer – While it’s questionable whether anyone remembers who he is at this point, Dozer was arrested in 2013 after raping a 14 year-old boy. He is currently serving time in prison.
Musclebear Montreal – In a now deleted tweet, he wrote, “I’m not into Asian guys but this one is stunning.”
Next Door Studios – The studio has a long history of not hiring Black models or segregating them on the now-defunct Next Door Ebony site. Avery Jones shared a story about the studio’s previous owner saying the N-word. In turn, Nick Fitt mentioned that him and his partner Clark Davis were refused work by the studio for being undetectable. Austin Wilde, a previous model for the brand, has been extremely vocal about their racist and homophobic history.
Noir Male – Almost all scenes on the site are directed by Chi Chi LaRue, and it is unclear if the site will move forward without her as a director.
Owen Michaels – Proven to be a Trump supporter. While his career mostly ended in 2016, he has since appeared in videos for Chaos Men, The Guy Site, Devil’s Film, and Island Studs.
Paul Canon – Previously stated on Twitter that he’s “not sexually attracted to colored people”.
Porn Dude Casting – In a thread of tweets, performer Aliya Brynn shared a negative experience she had on set that crossed many boundaries. The company attempted to defend themselves in a statement, and in a gross move, they included a link to watch the full unfinished video with Aliya for free. Long story short? They actively used someone’s trauma to promote their content.
Quin Quire – His comments regarding COVID-19 were irresponsible, dangerous, and absolutely reprehensible.
Raw Fuck Boys – One of the many sites produced by Jason Sparks, who also runs Jason Sparks Live, Jock Pussy, Twink Loads, and FTM Men.
Ricky Decker – Expressed support for Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Though his career fizzled out around the same time, he resurfaced in 2021 in videos for The Guy Site.
Rick Fantana – Selfishly, Rick refuses to wear a mask or get vaccinated for COVID-19. When pushed on the issue, he parroted the (factually inaccurate) conservative talking point that “hospitals are falsely reporting Covid deaths because they get more money from FEMA”.
Ricky Larkin – Shared and quickly deleted a video in which he stated, “I hate to break it to you, but there are just not that many good-looking Black guys in porn. It’s that simple. If there were better looking Black guys in porn, there would be more Black men shot for major studios.” If that weren’t enough, porn star Alexa Scout previously dated Ricky and spoke up about how he abused her.
Rocky Vallarta – Agreed with Quin Quire’s outrageously bad take about COVID-19, writing on Twitter, “Why is this such a polemic thing to say?” When pushed on the matter, he stated that the world is overpopulated, he’s a nihilist, and he has “no issue with dying myself since it’s going to happen at some point”.
Ryan McLane – The straight porn star proudly touts in his Twitter bio that he’s a supporter of Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida who doesn’t believe that systemic racism is real, consistently spouts anti-immigrant sentiments, and wildly mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic. DeSantis is anti-abortion, opposes gun control, and has a zero from the Human Rights Campaign for his voting record on LGBTQIA+ issues. When it comes to how much he sucks, that’s only scratching the surface.
Scott Finn – Refused to work with Avery Jones because he’s “too feminine“. Made him feel unsafe on set and referred to him as a “faggot”.
Sergeant Miles – Literally just scroll through his tweets. He’s pro-Trump, pro-gun, and racist as fuck, and somehow, studios continue to hire him and promote his work. He literally made MAGA porn, in which the Trump-supporting character gets drugged and raped by a gay couple. He has since been arrested for participating in the January 6 insurrection.
Shane Jackson – An alleged attendee of the much-criticized NYC house party that happened during lockdown in May 2020.
Sketchy Sex – Produced by the same studio as Fraternity X. One shoot was rumored to be so violent that a performer needed tampons to soak up all of the blood in his asshole.
Steve Holmes – Agreed to film a scene with Aubrey Kate, then fled the set when he realized she’s a trans woman. He continued to consistently misgender her in the aftermath of the incident, attempting to “defend” himself by sharing the full conversation. In doing so, he only managed to dig himself into an even deeper hole.
Stirling Cooper – Claims to have “sage wisdom” about pleasing women, but his statements on Twitter are oozing with misogyny, toxic masculinity, and a sense of entitlement to women’s bodies.
Sugar Daddy Porn – See GayHoopla on this list, or read more here.
Tommy Gunn – Regularly shares conspiracy theory videos about technology and the government on Twitter, often with a conservative or libertarian slant.
Topher DiMaggio – Though he seems to appear to no longer be working in the industry, he was accused of rape by Tegan Zayne in 2018.
Trevor Laster – There are additional receipts, but I think this white-privilege nonsense tweet speaks for itself.
Troy Francisco – Though I’ve written about him in the past, a friend of the blog has informed me that there are multiple reports of Troy making fellow performers feel unsafe on set. He allegedly has a reputation for shady business practices, including withholding content from other models.
Twink Loads – Produced by Jason Sparks as a low-budget alternative to Twink Top. One of their star models liked tweets from another performer that described Sparks as a “sexual predator”, and I would say that’s particularly telling of his character.
People are people, people are human, just as all of these porn actors have shit in their lives, so do we. And guess what, people are still going to look at what and who makes them get off. I’ll say it again People are People. Stop looking for people to be what the world wants them to be. We all have our shits and troubles. That All!!
People are people, and I am a person who would rather not support porn stars who are racist, transphobic, or have actively hurt others. That’s all!!
First, I found out about this article, via Twitter, and it is an excellent article.
I would love to see an article that mentions those sex workers, actors, directors and studios who are especially wonderful with whom to work, or are there so many that it would be a herculean task to write such an article?
Racist white people don’t give a shit about poc, hence the reason why the porn industry acts this way
How is Ryan Rose not on this list??? He may have still gotten work during his time but he’s always been a problematic performer.
Why is Austin Wolf not on this list? He’s an accused rapist, has admitted to having sex with minors, and fetishises Asian men and little people because they appear to be under age.
