Jewel didn't lose her company. When she was still married to Michael Stefano, they started Platinum X Pictures with Dion Giarrusso and his brother David Joseph. Jewel's parents worked in the front office of the company (they still do).
Subsequently, Dion & David had a falling out. So Dion sold his interest in both PXP and Red Light District to David. After that, Jewel & Michael sold thier shares in the company to David as well.
PXP started out with a particular ownership arrangement. Eventually, Jewel -- the talent and "name" that PXP was built on -- was left with a minority stake in her own company (David Joseph winding-up owning the rest of the company. And, more importantly, the absolute controlling interest).
So, sure, Jewel "sold" her share of PXP and left. Often, true fact + true fact + true fact = incorrect conclusions to be drawn.
Cutting way fast-forward to now, the "last-straw" seems to be the attempt to promote De'Bella's career (Jewel's mom) using Jewel's name. This was covered in this thread.
I was aked to leave PX after I sold my shares to David as they didn't want me anymore and are cutting out all directors with ownership over there. Last two owning is Mike and Brandon. So it hurt that I was forced out of a company I started while my parents continued to work there the job I gave them. Just to clear the air here.

It's interesting how some of us are always looking for reality in our porn (real orgasms, real quirts etc).
Here we have seen over the last several days some of the business and family realities in the porn world. You know you just can't make a story like this up.
Hmm, what amazes me everytime i read something like this is the fact that people still seem to find "an ok company". To an outsider it seems people within have nothing better to do than to screw each other sexually/business_wise or otherwise Then they build other companies and the game goes on. Man, and i thought my job sucked
