There are three sides to every story - yours mine and the truth

By Troy Michael

 It has been said by a lot of people, including myself, the adult film industry is a lot like high school. With its cliques, special privileges and of course the massive amounts of gossip on message boards, the adult industry can dish out a pill that is hard to swallow, even if it was made up.

Rumors have been floating around the adult business since the days of the infamous Spinelli Brothers, John Holmes cock size, the dreaded Sylvester Stallone porn film and God knows who has a latest sex tape being readied for release. It can be all fun and games if you have thick skin, but sometimes the gossip knife can cut a little to deep.

As we dug a little deeper we found the old gossip columns to be funnier with every click of the mouse. So we went straight to the porn performers themselves and asked them…

What is the strangest and/or funniest rumor you have heard about yourself in the adult film industry?

 

I have heard that some people think I am a man hating lesbian. Which of course is not true, just ask my husband.

~ Belladonna

  

 

 

 

 

 

People always think I am black, but I am not. I’ve read on the internet I am black and I have also met people think I am black. That is news to me.

~ Annie Cruz

Oh, I’ve heard several. I lost ten pounds once from working so much and it quickly went around I was doing crack and on drug benders. And if anyone knows me knows I don’t do drugs or associate with drugs because I don’t like them. I lost the ten pounds because I was literally fucking my ass off.

~ Courtney Cummz

 

 

That I am Ronnie James Dio's niece because of the similarity of our real last names. I've been told it's not necessary to keep trying to hide the fact for his sake because the news is already out. But really, it's not true. 

~ Gen Padova

 

 

 

 

 

Any rumor I've heard about myself has been completely true.

~ Roxy DeVille

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suppose the only one I know of is the notion that Ernest (husband Ernest Greene) is gay and that our marriage is a sham. Very incorrect, but there you have it. Anyone looking in on our private social life would know in a minute how wrong it is.

~ Nina Hartley

 

 

 

 

Probably the rumor that I had cervical cancer! I was thinking, if I had cervical cancer, the last thing I would be doing is fucking on film just for my health sake!  A few companies were worried it was true, so I actually had to go to a gynocologist and get a pap smear and some other tests just to prove I didn’t! I know who the person was that started the rumor and he did it just to try and end my porn career out of jealously. I laugh in his face now! HAHA!

~ Jana Jordan

 

 

 

 

Someone asked Mark Spiegler (my agent) if I was able to work so soon after my surgery.  I’ve never had surgery in my life, so I thought that was kind of funny.

~ Lorelei Lee

 

 

 

 

 

I did a film once where I was getting fucked on a pool table and in between takes I told the crew I could stick a pool ball up my ass and no one believed me. So I bet them and did it. But what happened was I stuck the 8-ball up my ass and once the story got around people was saying I did an eight-ball of coke up my ass, which I obviously didn’t do.

~ Keeani Lei

 

 

 

 

I’ve heard people think I fart a lot in scenes, but I don’t fart I “queef” and I am perfectly fine with that.

~ Micah Moore

 

 

 

 

 

The strangest thing I have ever heard about myself is someone thought I had ass implants. I just laugh at that because if you’ve seen my ass in action you know it is very jiggly. I have a 100-percent all natural ass baby!

~ Richelle Ryan

 

 

 

 

 

I heard that I was dating that guy Alfonso something, you know "Carlton" from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. (Alfonso Ribeiro) Um... no! Not so much!

~ Ashlynn Brooke

 

 

 

 

 

There are so many rumors out there because of these internet message boards, its ridiculous. I went on one of those forums once and they said I was pregnant and someone else said I was already washed up. Hell that’s news to me.

~ Bree Olson

 

 

 

 

 

Which one should I pick?? Probably that rumor Penny Flame started that I wasn’t in college and all this was a big set up. I am not a fake, I didn’t make it up. I am still in school. It makes me mad because I put a lot of hard work in what I do.

~ Casey Parker

 

 

I would say that the strangest rumor I have heard in the adult industry is that I am the unspoken granddaughter of Elvis Presley. The reason why nobody knows that we are related is because my "grandfather" would be ashamed that his granddaughter poses nude on camera.

~ Jenna Presley

 

 

 

 

There was a big rumor that I had gotten fat, but it was true and not so strange. When I quit drugs almost two years ago I got fat and it took six months to get my fat ass to the gym.

~ Ava Rose

 
 

 

 

 

 

I heard I died. I heard I committed suicide and died. I read that and thought ‘wow that was funny, if I am dead how can I be reading about my own death?

~ Delilah Strong

 

 

 

 

 

I hear that I had bone cancer. I spoke to a photographer on the phone one day and he asked me about it. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard.

~ Taylor Wane

 

 

 

There is a site whosdatingwho.com and it listed me dating Mary Carey and Brandy Talore. It also said I was a straight lesbian, which is news to me because I love fucking guys.

~ Brooke Haven

 

 

 

 

 

Well it’s not really a rumor, but there was a period where I went through a pretty bad time in my career. I had a really bad cocaine habit because of depression, stress and anxiety. Manuel (Ferrara) and I broke up for awhile and life was really hard for me. Then I had my wake-up call after a few weeks after that and I am all clean now. It is nothing I am ashamed of, even though people were talking about it behind my back in the industry.
