^According to TRPWL, APAC and FSC were due to review the raw footage on Wednesday. It doesn't appear that either organization has made recent statements about the footage or general matter.
^ Yeah, they are a trade-publication. Serious, hard-hitting investigative journalism is not their forte. As for Nikki's silence, it's possible she's been counseled by her attorney not to speak publicly given the impending lawsuit.
I have a feeling it may be a long time before we see any new scenes from miss benz, since she wasn't at the avns and there must be something serious for her to miss that. But I have also a feeling that brazzers don't whant this case to go to a court case and Nikki have a couple of options either just let the contract run it's course and she can say she will not do any more scenes with brazzers but I really don't think brazzers care as they over 80 scenes featuring here and it's not like they're in hurry to release anymore scenes of here. And it's a different thing blasting a company over twitter then a fellow pornstar. So if brazzers doesn't whant to be in the lawsuit it may be diffecult to patch thingsup between nikki and brazzers, and she can't shoot with anybody else as long as she is under contract with them. And the only major studio left which doesn't have a bunch of scenes with here is the blacked/tushy sites and I guess that would be here next move to get a contract with that site after here brazzers contract runs out.
Maybe she just honestly freaked out and became confused as a result of choking. If it's something she doesn't normally do, who knows how disorienting that could be? No one has ever choked me, so I have no idea. Have we gotten any clarity on this yet?
Nikki Benz said she was rape on the set. After the scene was over she then go on a vacation to the Bahamas for the weekend? Not go to the cops first after it happen?

Has there been any further reporting? The court's website indicates an amended complaint was filed on Feb. 24, and Ramon is no longer listed as a plaintiff.
I found some articles about it. http://www.laweekly.com/news/lawsuit-claims-porns-nikki-benz-fabricated-on-set-assault-7814096 http://jezebel.com/adult-entertainer-nikki-benz-is-being-sued-by-the-men-s-1791166147 those 2 were the most intresting articles. http://www.vocativ.com/392136/exclusive-accused-porn-star-breaks-silence-over-nikki-benz-abuse-allegations/ in this article they said, that Tony is running more lawsuits against more women ? :D Edited by - Eipad09 on 3/6/2017 7:00:52 PM

The court charges money to look at the actual pleadings. Which is where I draw the line. Feel free to sign up for an account if you're interested enough.
^ Interesting, according to Tony T. and his attorney, Ramon Nomar is still a co-plantiff in the suit. Yet Harri checked the court records and in the amended complaint filed on Feb. 24th Ramon wasn't listed. Seems like a discrepancy. One thing I've always wondered is whether a pornstar, male or female, could get a fair day in court. The general public is likely predisposed to harbor all kinds of erroneous beliefs and stereotypes about pornstars. The guys are predatory scumbags, the girls are greedy whores, that sort of thing. And is their body of work as performers fair game to be introduced into evidence? Can an average juror tell the difference between performance and reality? We often have ardent porn fans who sign up to this forum who seemingly cannot. How would Tony T.'s history of rough scenes color a jury's perceptions? What about any rougher scenes of Nikki's? Then there will be character witnesses on both sides, testifying on their experiences both positive and negative with Benz and Tony T. Seems like it would be a mess for all involved. Of course this assumes that it ever gets to trial. I bet Brazzers and Benz will settle before it gets that far. Mind you, a settlement wouldn't be an admission of wrong doing on their part. It would just make it go away. Edited by - Mister Fahrenheit on 3/15/2017 3:29:45 AM
requesting a jury trial lengthens the process and is sometimes used to discourage the other party (either plaintiff or defendant), and look for them to withdraw or settle out of court. just strategy imo.. -von S.

You can request a "jury trial" with regard to civil suits? Unless I missed something (not impossible), the government has not brought a criminal trial, has it? I mean, no one ever filed a police report, right? These are real questions on my part (i.e. I'm not taking issue with anyone here; I'd just like some clarity).
^ No, you haven't missed anything. There is no indication Nikki Benz ever filed a police report after she made her initial claims. And yes, you can request a jury trial in a civil case.

I think maybe Xbiz edited that story. When I read it yesterday, it did seem like the author was under the impression that Ramon was still a party; now there's no reference to Ramon except that he was a performer in one of the scenes. With regard to the jury demand, it's routine. If you don't say you want a jury trial at the outset, you waive it.
^ Yeah, the article has been changed since I first read it. Typically with real news articles when reporters change something they note at the bottom of the article that it's been edited. I guess that's too much to ask of the porno press.

^ Over at the Ministry of Truth, they just toss the inconvenient material down the memory hole. But, wait, wait, there's more... We ought to know much more in about "two weeks"

juries don't like porn women most of the time, but TOny T has so much rough footage out there they won't like him either. Yes, it would be a mess of trying to make the other person look like the most depraved and vile human on earth. Certainly they will settlement if this suit actually has legs and/or if Tony has the footage and she is not saying stop.... And, without her even filing a police report, she doesn't have much to stand on . The question will always be "if you were raped and came forward publicly, why no contact with law enforcement?". Not reporting to police works if you are not coming forward at all (most go unreported), but she came public immediately and then didn't do anything with the police so it smells bad for her too. Tony likely has a case because he lost his job over it, and probably the calls from other companies have dried up a lot too. I felt the same way with Stoya. If you are courageous enough to come forward about it, make a damn police report otherwise it is hard to take it with credibility. Twitter is not the place to accuse people without an investigation or gathering of evidence and then walk away while the accused suffers huge losses. I have no doubt that her accusations were genuine, but christ file a police report and stay away from twitter shaming. Edited by - A_Fan on 4/30/2017 5:39:08 PM
Yeah and in the meantime she is not making any scenes, could we just get in dick in her mouth, or her ass, or whatever hole she prefers I miss seeing her scenes.
I would be shocked if she shoots again for any company while all this is pending. The press release states that she is still traumatized by the whole experience, and it'll probably hurt her claimed damages if she returns to shooting. Wish her the best, but kind of sad we will probably never get the dp scene she promised at the start of 2016

From Nikki (see the link that Eipad09 posted):
I don't know what belief has to do with it. Specific claims were made. These things either happened or they did not. Voodoo's declaration tells us nothing about what did or didn't happen to Nikki and is worthless, but I want to know what Mona Wales had to say if she actually viewed the raw footage.
Any update on whether Nikki was able to get Tony T.'s lawsuit dismissed? In the AVN article it says a case management conference was scheduled for May 16th.

Postponed again.
It looks like Tony T's attorney submitted declarations from half a dozen or so people as part of the opposition to the anti-SLAPP motion. It would be interesting to know what these say, but, again, it's going to take either someone being willing to pay the court for access to the documents or reporting by the porno press for this to happen.

Good grief, look at how much the court wants: This is for access to public records which are already scanned and in their system and which don't require any involvement by a human clerk to provide to you.
