They went condoms only some time ago, no? Maybe this was one reason for the low sales rates, too?

It seems like the only thing that's constant in this business.. is change. Survival of the fittest I suppose.

thats it, now jenna haze is gone. im just stunned at how fast jkp has destroyed itself. they need to do something fast to control the damage that just seems to get worse every few weeks. short of jill coming out of retirement or jewel denyle coming back, things look very bad. i hope im wrong, but i fear that im right.

It looks like it really is over for JKP. AVN is running an article saying that CEO Friedland has disappeared. Jill Kelly is already gone.

It's not clear there's anyone left who can sign paychecks, which may be a moot point since the guy in charge usually doesn't leave much spare change in the bank when he vanishes in these circumstances. Next week may be interesting for anyone trying to cash a JKP paycheck.

The article implies Pleasure might buy the assets, whatever that might be, but again it's not clear there's anyone left who can sign those papers.

Bob Friedland wasn't why anyone liked JKP of course so it's not necessary "the end" of whatever it is you liked in JKP. The question is: where will the talent, both in front and behind the camera, wind up?

And, are any other companies willing to pursue that genre? JKP didn't succeed financially, but it's not clear that the old man ran it to succeed (he ran it to have some hot babes around in the last few years of his life). Someone with a little more interest in the business might make a go of the genre.

This is messed up !

I thought JKP was doing pretty well ?

My concern is for Nikki Benz!
- where will she go ?
- Will she head over to Vivid? Wicked? ClubJenna? VCA?
or will she head back to Pleasure ?


1 question though....
WHAT happens to all the unreleased films that JKP has in storage? Im guessing there's still a few Shyla Stylez films not out yet same w/ all the girls who were recently w/ JKP

I was just starting to become a regular JKP customer. Lately they made a tremendous effort to hire very good-looking guys, they always had this policy of hiring female directors as much as possible, and I was extremely pleased with video quality for recent titles such as "Tyra's Little Secrets", "Tyra's Runway Rendezvous" & "Nikki's Land of Candy" (the latter directed by Jill herself & full of cool visuals). There was a tremendous progress these last few months, I had absolutely no problem with their couples' content (not everybody is into gapes), my only gripe was with their contract girls, Tyra simply irritates me and Nikki can be very aloof. The departure of Shyla, Cindy & Tyler was indeed a huge blow. They are still the best company out there in terms of global eye candy. If Pleasure does indeed buy them, I hope they continue with this policy.

I can't see any contradiction.
Bob could have enjoyed life as sugar daddy and also succeed in business.

So, what's the real reason for driving the company into such a mess?

I hadn't seen any of JKP's recent films, but always enjoyed the older ones with Jill, Jewel De'Nyle, Keri Windsor, Haven, and Asia Carrera. Other than Jenna Haze, I didn't seem to ever recognize any of the girls they'd been using. Jenna could get me to pretty much watch anything she was in, but she was only doing g/g. I have no problem with g/g's, but I would need to see someone like Jenna take dick.

This can't be good though. JKP allowed more women to work than most other companies could. I know a lot of fans want to see more and more gonzo and all-sex films, but it seems clear to me that a lot of female performers can't get hired routinely doing them. I think the cable market is still viable, and I gotta think JKP made a great deal of their money thru cable television.

i look at this thing now in a new way. i have watched jkp movies from day one, and i know how good they were when they had girls like jill, jewel denyle, keri windsor, star E. knight and sondra hall. i like gonzo and features, and would have loved to see more girl girl hardedge features. there is nothing wrong with features if the"re good. the way i look at this now is jill kelly, jenna haze and nikki benz are now free. i want to see jill come back and work with belladonna. and i want to see jenna haze and carmen lavuna do a lesbian scene. when will the news break about the plans of these women? i hope its soon. yes its sad that this has happen, but its time to look foward if you are fans of these girls. i wish them all the best.

I am sad to see ANY company go out of business, BUT I really could care less about JKP. It totally stinks they have not put out a good movies in a least three years. As most of you know I hate g/g and JKP was basically a all-girl specialist. Tyler saw the writing on the walls that is why she bailed. For Jill herself to walk away was just the nail in the coffin.

The fact that one might pursue both goals doesn't mean there's any desire to do so. He wanted to have a bunch of hot babes around and achieved that, but it's not clear he had any goals in terms of financial success.

Remember, Bob is not a young man. He may not have need to build a business that lasts more than five years...

I think it was this very thread where I tried to explain the whole raison d'etre of JKP very simply, by referencing Mel Brooks' THE PRODUCERS, but nobody seemed to get it. It's easier to embezzle from failures rather than successes in the wonderful world of financial investment, kiddies. I know it's easy to be blinded by sugarplumb fairies & Jenna Hazes dancing around your head, but at what point is anybody going to get the message -- even if they put out some product you liked, JKP was from day one a vehicle for BF to plunder cash, expense account livin' large and porn star pussy. There was a lot of catering to starlets because there was more interest in having a harem around than making commercial product. The company was designed to self-destruct. What part of that does anybody STILL not possibly get?????

i know nothing about all that ! all i know is at one time they put out some really good movies with some hot girls. if laws were being broken then the law needs to deal with it. i have no control of that. to me it was all about jill kelly, her girls and the kind of movies they put out. if someone was doing something wrong, they should go to jail. PERIOD.

Can Jill Kelly just start another company?

I would think because stock was involved she couldn't?

I mean wouldn't that open the door to everyone who owns a company to just run it into the ground, screw the stockholders over and just start over?

There might be a no-compete agreement. Stock ownership has nothing to do with it.

Also, there would be a trademark issue with her trying to use the name "Jill Kelly" in the name of a new company.

Bob Friedland had (has?) a controlling majority of JKP stock. Jill Kelly may or may not have been a figurehead in operating the company.

I bought JKP stock basically because of the name. Jill Kelly is a very well known name and I have been a fan since I was younger.

I didn't know who this Freidland guy was or what he was up to. All I knew is that they put out some good ads every month in the AVN, had some great contract girls and made some decent product.

I was selling JKP DVDs and while they weren't flying off the shelf they were selling pretty good so I thought why not buy some stock in the company.

This was right around the time of the Bizarre/JKP merger and I thought that was a good thing for the company. Boy was I wrong.

I am not sure how all that stock stuff works but I am very interested to see what Jill Kelly does now. I wouldn't think she could use that name again with another company but who knows?

Well, that was the plan.
Sorry, you lost money.

I'm rather conservative about investments.
As a private person I would never invest my money in stock.
Especially not in stock of a brand new company.
And especially not in a porn company.

Why shouldn't Jill be allowed to use her name in the future?
Her stage name was Jill Kelly long before the company was founded.

my only worry is if jill"s new company bad intentions is as soft as the things they put out at JKP. maby it was bob friendland, but i want to see the jill kelly that worked for the great bruce seven. i also want to see jill come out of retirenent to do the first movie under her new company. it could be called jill is back. and i want lots of collars, chains and leather. and lots of crawling and fetish girl girl. i also hope jill has no contract girls, and will bring in porn girls like tiffany mynx, nicole sheridan, dee and felecia in to do some hardedge girl girl fetish. i want to see jill do those kind of scenes with nicole sheridan,dee and tiffany mynx. i hope jill will go the bruce seven way this time.

Since nobody else has been able to capture Bruce Seven's style, I wouldn't hold out much hope of Jill managing it.

Given the direction her last company took, I'm not sure that 'Bad Intentions' is the motto I'd have chosen. It sounds much too close to reality.

Still, time will tell and, assuming she wasn't part and parcel of Bob's little raid on the cash register, I wish her luck.

IVD Taking Over Jill Kelly
snitches named in Kelly scenario; Kelly forming company called Bad Intentions


--Gene Ross

Porn Valley- Here's the story with Jill Kelly. IVD has taken over the Jill Kelly operation. And Kelly and an attorney from Las Vegas are attempting to form a new company called Bad Intentions. The inside snitches at JKP that were linking all the inside info were a former employee who was a production manager and his girlfriend who's still with the company. Salesman Mike Barbella handed in his resignation, and Dan Ice, who was running the company, has also taken off. Ice stays on the company's board of directors.

Barbella and Ice both made the decision to leave together. IVD acquired all the receivables. IVD also on Friday foreclosed on their 15 million shares in the company as well as on the receivables. IVD will be picking up all the masters and all the product from JKP. Customers of JKP are receiving letters indicating that they must make all payments to a company called Alliance, which is holding all the JKP notes at 80% on the dollar.

Attorney Philip Star and Jill Kelly are also back in the company. Star and Kelly fired all the college employees. Star, who was first brought in, in an attempt to oust Bob Friedland, has put himself on the payroll for $4,000 a week. Star has been described as some "nobody attorney from Vegas" who's a martinet, plops his feet up on a desk, drives a 17 year-old car, wears no socks and white button-up dress shirts with collars pulled straight up. Star also wears hair dye.

Star, who's been compared to a Regan Senter with a law degree, apparently hooked up with Kelly; and Kelly is using him as an advisor. Kelly signed some documents allowing Star to be on the board of directors. Star and Kelly have been working for weeks to wrest control of the company from Dan Ice after Bob Friedland took off. And IVD was fighting to acquire the whole line from Ice. At some point in time Ice realized he was in the middle of a losing battle and there was no way to keep IVD out of this takeover scenario.

Ice has resigned and the JKP company will be bankrupt. Star, this past Wednesday, announced that he was turning the operation over to Star, that he had been forced out. Ice began handing out checks telling employees that the checks were all good and would clear. Ice then announced he was on a plane and leaving Thursday. With Ice's announcement, Barbella immediately began packing his belongings.

Kelly will re-open the company, which was $3 million in debt, as Bad Intentions. Kelly will be taking $5,000 a week for herself.

At present JKP is selling comps at new release prices. All the editors have been fired as well.
