| Melvyn Senior Member  2797 Posts 12/12 |  Posted - Dec 20 2016 : 3:36PMI don't know all the details yet. Just spotted some disturbing tweets on her timeline. She seems to be airing out Brazzers more than anybody in particular. She has stated that a performer named Tony (who?) stomped on her head and choked her multiple times, during which it seems she said "no." I didn't see any other headlines of this. It must be breaking currently. [Link] |

| Melvyn Senior Member 2797 Posts 12/12 | Posted - Dec 20 2016 : 6:00PM I couldn't find Nikki's explicit account of what happened, just her saying it was a miserable experience and expressing sharp disapproval. But she did screenshot some DM's from the account of a friend of hers who described the incident in more horrific detail. The friend or associate is saying Nikki's head was stomped on and she was choked and attests that Nikki's hand was blue from bruising. I am no big fan of Brazzers or anything. Between the two parties I'm much more a fan of Nikki's. She seems really cool. I'm just not sure why blame the company so much more than the actual perpetrator. Oh, now as I pose the question, I remember the director is also being implicated. So that is probably why. Allegedly the director did not step in, even as Nikki claims she called "cut." If a performer calls "cut" how the hell do you not stop and address the problem? Brazzers is a huge company and Nikki Benz is arguably the biggest active pornstar since Lisa Ann retired, so I would be surprised if they didn't have several people on set. Even average size companies have several people on set, so Brazzers surely must, and there must be other witnesses. This incident is a huge problem for them, so I expect them to address it ASAP.

Any chance you could link them directly Melvyn? Edited by - Mister Fahrenheit on 12/20/2016 6:28:12 PM [Link] |

| Dat_1_Dude Senior Member 1779 Posts 1/15 | Posted - Dec 20 2016 : 7:38PM There will obviously be a power struggle since Nikki is the spokesperson and marketing face for ZZ and Tony T is one of the loyal right hand men. I'm just wondering who was the performer that initially abused Nikki? And are these shoots for the new PSP revival they are trying? As much as PSP is intriguing, I am not ready to read more terror tales on the incompetence and ignorance of ZZ crews shooting those scenes [Link] |

| whatsatelephonebill Senior Member 2935 Posts 10/11 | Posted - Dec 20 2016 : 8:26PM I don't think there's going to be any power struggle. In the current era of porn (and by that, I mean after everything that happened at the end of last year), I don't think there's any way that a company as big as Brazzers sides with a director that no one really cares about (let's be honest, even the people who know enough about porn to know who any of the directors at Brazzers are are more likely to know about Brett Brando, Keiran, and arguably even the guy that produces for them in England before they know about Tony) over one of the most popular performers in the industry who they also have contracted. Edit: In other words, Tony T is too replaceable for me to see the company falling on their swords to Nikki over him. Edited by - whatsatelephonebill on 12/20/2016 8:32:25 PM [Link] |

| pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Dec 20 2016 : 11:03PM [invalid URL removed]Brazzers: Hey @nikkibenz we're behind you and will never tolerate negative behavior towards stars by any 3rd party producer. [Link] |
| Dat_1_Dude Senior Member 1779 Posts 1/15 | Posted - Dec 20 2016 : 11:14PM As for the eye for an eye, Keiran had Danny's back throughout the whole saga with Eva. They probably deleted all the old forum posts he made going to bat for his Brit Chap. ZZ just issued the statement on Nikki but we'll see what actions follow. Nikki and Keiran have excellent chemistry and it would be a disaster to go against her at this junction When the allegations against Clover were proven truthful, there are several scenes that have commenters protesting his use on the site. Unfortunately, only members can see them so I cant go back and see if his last 5 or so scenes still have those comments. People mentioned that Tony T. was Clover's main man, his protege, and thats why it took so long to see him stop getting work. Even besides the criminal aspect, Clover was about as robotic and dull as a performer could be, and he always had the lightest finishes. The fact it took felony convictions to get him off such a high budget site was criminal enough. Hopefully this will mark the end of Tony T, although that opens the possibility for more Keiran the director [Link] |

| whatsatelephonebill Senior Member 2935 Posts 10/11 | Posted - Dec 20 2016 : 11:21PM You have to remember though that there can be months between when a scene is shot and when it's released. And Brazzers holds on to their scenes for about as long as anyone in the business. So it's likely that the scenes you're talking about where shot well before everything came out, and were released because they'd been paid for anyway and it didn't help anyone to not release them. As far as Brazzers statement, that is absolutely throwing Tony under the bus, but looking at Twitter it seems like Nikki isn't going to let them get off that easily.

| MutantMo Senior Member Sleaze Servant 1180 Posts 9/13 | Posted - Dec 21 2016 : 3:37AM That may seem vague but if you pay attention to the amount of support Nikki Benz has received during this ordeal from fans, performers, former performers, and even other studios you should have an idea what I mean...

| fanofman Senior Member 2053 Posts 9/15 | Posted - Dec 21 2016 : 6:07AM ^^She's getting tons of fan support. However, most active performers have remained silent or just stated their "love" or "support". No active girls have bashed Brazzers. It would be career suicide to do so. Only a few girls have stated anything negative about the company. The ones that have are either gone from the business or barely active now. Edited by - fanofman on 12/21/2016 6:13:05 AM [Link] |
| whatsatelephonebill Senior Member 2935 Posts 10/11 | Posted - Dec 21 2016 : 7:13AM The worst of the allegations are that: 1.) She was booked for a rough/pseudo-rape scene without being told beforehand. 2.) That the director of the scene (Tony T) choked her at some point 3.) That at some point, she stated "cut" but no one stopped and scene kept going. And people really need to get over this whole police report thing (as in, questioning things simply because she didn't file one), and I'm talking about assault cases in general, not just this one.

| Melvyn Senior Member 2797 Posts 12/12 | Posted - Dec 21 2016 : 8:16AM Tens of thousands of Nikki's fans flock to the sites where she appears. And we here in the ADT community are quite informed of the popular players in the biz and fairly savvy with the lesser known info as well. Even still, I'm quite sure the vast majority of us are not familiar with Tony. Maybe a few of us qualify as *aware* of who he is and what his work amounts to, but I still wouldn't call that familiarity. Especially since he's mostly a behind the camera presence now. How many would honestly even know if he disappeared from the scene altogether? At the very least, Nikki must be 10 times as relevant, more probably 100 times. A previous poster alluded to Tony having some clout via ties with Manwin, but... though that may be, it is hard to imagine how strong those ties are compared to Nikki's ties with Brazzers. I mean, Manwin would have to be the most incompetent company in the history of porn to value Tony equally with Nikki, let alone value him more. The only way Tony could conceivably have even a significant fraction of Nikki's clout would be if Tony had some devastating legal dirt on Manwin allowing him to blackmail the whole company. OR something we may not know is that Tony is a billionaire with a huge amount of stock in Manwin... Quite a stretch of imagination, but how else to explain why ZZ could be so beholden to him. Out of curiosity, how many directors does Brazzers have employed and active at this current time? 10? [Link] |
| Melvyn Senior Member 2797 Posts 12/12 | Posted - Dec 21 2016 : 8:40AM I don't think ZZ is in too much danger though. By emphasizing "3rd party producer" it seems like their liability will be mitigated a lot. They probably won't even have to pay Tony and his team because it represents a violation of the deal he had with Brazzers. While ZZ's lawyer(s) could easily absolve them of liability, it's still perfectly understandable why Nikki aired them out, because it is precisely that pressure toward the ownership which is going to compel swift justice. Not only is Tony going to have to eat the cost of a scene which will never be published, he's facing criminal charges. Even if Tony can prove somewhere that he did inform Nikki of what the scene would entail, and even if it is proven that she was negligent of contract details, it appears as if there are witnesses willing to testify that she told them to stop and they didn't. That's not going to play well in court for the defense. Tony's fucked on multiple levels. He probably blew 10 grand on this, and that's not even half of the damage he's looking at long term. Ouch.

| Goldstein All-Star Member "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 3689 Posts 8/10 | Posted - Dec 21 2016 : 8:43AM Wow. Also, if I remember correctly, Jessy Jones and Clover were good buddies. (NOTE: I'm not equating Jessy Jones with Clover's proven misogyny and abusive history.) [Link] |
| Melvyn Senior Member 2797 Posts 12/12 | Posted - Dec 21 2016 : 8:47AM This may just get a lot more complicated. Did they really blindside her with this violence? How the hell could any professional operate like this? How do they not at least rehearse the scene a little and let the performers know what the plan is? Nobody with any sense would just wing this without getting all parties involved up to speed. That's a recipe for disaster. Even after you have consent through the signing of legal paperwork, you should still rehearse it a bit or verbally confirm what's ok and what isn't. Everyone is different. Did they not even discuss a safe-word? If Nikki had to call out "cut" this suggests no. [Link] |
