Yes, she posted on her official website just yesterday that she is retiring.
She posted the following message to her fans.
" Turning 37 made me rethink some things.....while I was traveling home from L.I. looking out onto a beautiful sunset a page had turned once again.I've decided to hang up my dancin' boots and my garder belts and get my ass back in school..... I'll still be around and the web-cam thing here at my house will happen.....just no more movies or dancing..I love you guys...... thanks for hangin' in there with me"
Painless , you obviously don't appreciate the woman. We get it, so let it go now, huh?
Janine was a pleasure to have in the industry for a long, long time. Beyond the class, beauty and sense of spirit that she brought to porn (and many have copied from since), her duration alone is reason enough to applaud both her tenure and - more regretably - her eventual exit.
I hope she still sees fit to visit this board from time to time, as her remarks always brighten my day.
It took you a while, but thanks for eventuially doing the b/g thing. It was certainly worth the wait. And if you decide to make another return, just remember these two words, Jules Jordan.
It seems that she either needs the attention(fame) and/or money and then it gets too much for her to bear; she just quits; goes into a new relationship with some "jerk" who messes her up big time; and then goes back into porn because that give her some re-inforcement of herself! It is really sad!
Hope she does not in the mean time do more tattoos or does something else that is equally disguising to herself!
That was really fast. Just moved from Vivid to Digital Playground and now she retires. But I can't say that I'm surprised. Only getting third billing on the PIRATES DVD was a sign that her days at DP are numbered. That's sad. I wish her all the best for the future. May she find true love and live happily ever after.
Best of luck Janine, personally, I think it's awesome your heading back to school. :thumbsupsmiley: Not to knock anyone else on the board, but you've accomplished a lot in this profession and maybe you just need a new challenge. Yea, I'm a little sad you're taking off, but shit, life goes on.
All the best,
K.

A really shitty night at work capped off by news of Janine's impending retirement! I don't normally drink, but this has been a Jim Beam kinda day...
bad news , just saw her in pirates and she looks better than most 18 year old chicks , she is beautiful and her body is a perfect 10 (i also liked her tatoos - i think it's very sexy).
and painless - save your ugly thought to yourself , loser (sorry mods , i couldn't help it)
This is disappointing to me, because I'm a fan of hers and I think she was really hitting her stride lately with the b/g stuff. It was so nice to see a grown woman demand to be pleasured. I found her performances genuinely arousing, and I can't say that for many other female talent. Unfortunately, her dominant sexual style just doesn't jive with today's misogynistic porn. I'm glad she retired rather than submit to the type of on-camera humiliation that's expected of today's female talent. It's a shame that a fabulous body, an unbelievably beautiful face, a voracious sexual appetite and a true gift for sensuality aren't enough to compete in this business now. Some of her comments to the younger girls in the BTS on "Pirates" hint at her displeasure with the business as a whole. I hope she made some bank during her comeback, that she invested it well and that she finds another career she enjoys. I know somewhat how she feels. 35-40 is when most women reevaluate their lives and make big, life-altering decisions, myself included. I wish her all the best.
First TERI WEIGEL retires, and now JANINE! I tell you these two woman have the most beautiful bodies in entertainment and where true Adult Stars. Now they are gone, only to be replaced in the adult industry by these young 15 to 30 minutes of fame wantabes. With the babyboomers getting older we need more true Adult Stars like TERI and JANINE. It would be nice to have a few Adult Stars grow with their fan base.
Maybe JANINE will get more tattoo's now, I love'em.
"Janine HAS made a Virtual sex title i have it here"
...And for not sharing with us what else you might have in hand at the moment - much appreciated; 2 hands on the keyboard at all times! (Attempt at humor)
Hi.....I'm here. Thanks to those of you with kind words. All I have to say is that it's time for me to move on. The adult industry and Dig. Playgroud has been great to me.....I got the chance to act out my wildest fantasies and I have 0 regrets. Life throws you some twists and turns and you just gotta roll with them. I want to try something different.......not sure what.....but I want to explore. I'll still be at AVN/convention this year and I'll still be active on my site. So there you have it.......I love you guys. Peace.
I know no ones gonna believe it but when Katja made her statement i thought to myself ... well Katja could give Janine a call. Now that Janine made her statement i can´t get that out of my head . Jesus, that would be a party i´d love to see
I honestly could not be happier for ya sweetheart! I sincerely hope you move-on to bigger and better things in life .. and have a long, healthy and happy one.
Along with my husband (Michael, who knows you from the Goldfingers/Marty Foyer days), we were "fans" from the very beginning .. and always wished the very best for you! As for what Melissa & Katja have said about not having the chance to "work" [play] with you ... Add me to that list!! (+3)
Please Stay In Touch with your fans 'round ADT! We would rather hear it from you than continue to have to sift through the rumor-mill.
We'll all look forward to hearing about your next ADVENTURE!
Cheers to ya sexy!
