She needs to be in a BALLS DEEP, DOWN THE HATCH, LEWD CONDUCT or a new FLESH HUNTER. That's where she belongs. As long as she doesn't wind up like Aimee Donovan.
Hi Nikki:I really look forward to seeing more of you.
The problem with Teravision and ClubJenna is that it seems like it takes forever to get the movies out.And there are to few releases.I mean, take Mckenzie Lee.When she arrived in the Us biz, everyone were talking about her.It is now over a year since she joined them( a year and a half, I think )and how many movies have been released.I can only think of one; Mckenzie Made.
And you people whine about Vivid.At least they release movies pretty frequently.
Avn.com article states that it was a mutual decision for me and Teravision to go our separate ways. That is not the case. Teravision gave me absolutely no notice. Right before I was to attend Exxxotica Miami Beach convention they dropped me. Before my attorney received a fax from Teravision, I was trying to get a hold of Evan, Tera or someone at the office only to be ignored. I wanted to know the details, such as my flight number and departure time, hotel, etc. I did nothing to Evan (ceo of Teravision) for him to treat me like this.
I also canceled two feature dancing gigs this month, just so I would be able to attend these conventions. Not only did I loose money from that, but I'm still owed a pay check from Teravision. Funny how Evan totally disregarded that. I guess since he's making a ton of money from my lates movie Test Drive, he doesn't think about other people and the fact that they have bills to pay.
p.s. Just read on avn.com that Evan's excuse it because he wants to concetrate more on Tera.
Well then why would he screw me over like this?! Give me notice just like our contract says. And why were my pay checks late all the time? People, including me have rent, car payments, cell phone bills and so on. I would never treat anyone the way he's treated me. Then again, Evan is known for this.
This is a quote from her interview that CJ posted...
Tera Patrick: Hi! Listen, it’s not a prerequisite to do double penetration and anal. There’s a few girls, myself included, that got by not doing anal at all. But if you’re going to be a porn star, you’re going to have to open your mind. That’s how all of us got here.
--> Am I missin something here? Didn't Tera do anal scenes?
Hey, the truth hurts. Don't shoot the messenger. If I'm wrong (and I'm sure I'm not) she can correct me any time...

I cant see her ever doing a interracial scene either. She seems to be one of the ones who thinks it will ruin her career. I reality it will bring her alot of new fans shes just another typical contract girl
The more salient question, and the point dodays was trying to make is this: Does she have to continue actively AVOIDING fucking Black guys to continue her career? We both agree that it would do her more good than harm, paycheck wise. Apparently she disapproves...
Nikki i am so sorry i can't believe they have treated you this way .... i know you will be better off in the end sounds to me that evan is not a good person shame he took tera with him... i hope you keep doing what you want to do and forget this whole topic of you doing IR just do what nikki want's ok
Further to my comments in the Vivid girls thread, let me again decry the knee jerk bullshit racism accusations.
Think about it...a porn performer only has so many aces up their sleeve. Perhaps they start out doing girl/girl (by the way, if Nikki is a racist for not having worked with black guys yet, does this mean the likes of Kelle Marie and other girl/girl only performers are man hating misandrists or at the very least guilty of sexual discrimination? I don't hear anyone banging on about that....), and before you know it, everyone is crying out for them to do boy/girl, and some lucky studio will get the product the public wants to see, performer X's first-ever b/g scene!!!
Then it will be her first anal, her first creampie, her first DP and so on and so forth...each one being a significant marquee event for a contract-level performer like Nikki which she could very likely parlay into a higher fee or perhaps some backend participation as well. If she does everything straight out the door, then she's got nothing held back. Take Jenna for example...she's been the number one girl for a straight decade now, but she still hasn't done anal (and thus no DP either) nor interracial...but could you imagine the kind of sales figures you would be looking at if she did? We're talking instant 'marquee event' sales here...if Jenna was a free agent, how much do you think Vivid or Digital Playground etc. would be prepared to pay her for what would be a guaranteed knock-it-out-of-the-park sales homerun? It should also be pointed out that the (current) lack of anal and interracial hasn't harmed Jenna's career in the least, either.
Getting back to Nikki, I'm not too familiar with her career, but if I'm not mistaken, she's just done her first anal scene for 'Test Drive' which is apparently doing extremely strong sales (because it has that marquee 'must-see' event in it). If I was her, I wouldn't be in any rush to up my levels again too soon, but instead parcel out the career milestones at a gradual pace. Also, if I was her, I know that baseless straw man arguments along the line of 'She hasn't worked with a black guy yet thus is racist' would push interracial right to the bottom of my list, if not off of it completely. I wouldn't be in any hurry to seek the approval of people who just come out and arbitrarily insult and accuse me....and then, when I do my IR movie, they turn around and rip it and rapidshare it on the Mr. Marcus forum thus costing me sales and therefore impacting on any residuals I might have had. Yes sir, I would be doing everything in my power to appeal to 'fans' like that, lemme tell ya....
Also, as I said in the Vivid girls thread, if a particular company chooses to pursue a particular audience, I have no beef with that. It's better to focus all of your energy and attention on one market than spreading yourself too thin by trying to cover all bases. If Nikki (or anyone for that matter) were to sign a contract with Black Ice or WCP, would you complain that she wasn't doing white guys? I tend to doubt it....
Anyway, seeing has Nikki has yet to do double anal, I'm going to go over to tolerance.org and report her for being a duosodophobe!!! (I made that word up, but you get the picture...)
Indeed, that was a nice move. You never actually addressed the issue of whether you are pro or anti IR, smoothly implying that it was all the studio's fault and you had no say. While I am positive that studios discourage the practice of IR, I'm sure they would have accomidated you had you felt your were neglecting a valued portion of your audience. Perhaps not. But in the end, you failed to address the central nature of the IR discussion: interracial(BG) - thumbs up or thumbs down?
Aces up sleeve? Nina Hartley has been doing IR since the beginning of her carrer (circa 1984), her phone still rings at age 50+. It's a bogus argument on it's face, because there are so many females who have done IR and made out very well afterward: Sunrise Adams, Brianna Banks, Ashley Blue, Silvia Saint, and on and on. Yes, you can drive the rate up for that ONE DVD with the "infamous act" on it, but you only make money on that DVD. Building a broad audience over time will earn a female far more riches because her carrer will be more fruitful, and should she want to continue, will last longer. Will a certain brand of fan abandon her for going IR? Yep. But she will out gain the loss many times over by the fans she will earn from it.
Hold it, stop, halt. Jenna is not relevant to any discussion of porn star carreers. She did NOT become a celebrity because of her pornographic exploits, she became a celebrity because HOWARD STERN made her a celebrity. She merely got famous by association with him ala Monica Lewinski via Bill Clinton. She could have been screwing donkeys, and still become a household name because Howard promoted her relentlessly on his show every week. Very few, if any future porn women will be in that position. Nikki has to make her own future, she will not likely have celebrity help to make her name. Unlike Jenna, what Nikki does will decide how well her career goes...

Wow. Someone has issues with Black folks. I will not coalesce your rant with her opinion. If you have issues with Black Americans, they are yours alone and I will leave you to them. She has made no such statments about resenting a Black audience, and I'd rather assume she had no such animosities. My hypothisis was that she feared retaliation from racists, not that she had any particular gripe with her Black audience.
Spreading too thin? Another that literally goes against all common sense. The way you make money in porn is to produce as much content as you can. Vivid did not believe IR was profitable, now that they see it is there has been a policy shift. Paul Cambria made a mess of this industry, it's nice to see it getting right again.
Much of what you have written has served to assume hostility towards Nikki's potential Black audience as her motivation. I assume no such thing. I'm sure she has her reasons, and I'm not about to assume the worst in her just because it's a sensational message board tactic. I'd love to hear her opinion on the subject, she has not yet voiced it. If her position is anti-IR, but it is a reasonable rationale, I can respectfully disagree with her while respecting her decision..
How about you respect her decision not to discuss it? Or would that interfere with your obvious agenda?
Of note, she has not talked about DP's, DVP, DAP, Fisting or Pissing either so why only obsess about her and interracial? Only interested in what you rub off too?
Whatever. @ the end of the day, Nikki will do what she wants to do on video. All the smarmy posts and flag waving won’t change that. Accept it.
No, no issue with 'black folks', American or otherwise...my point was that you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar...meaning Nikki might be more receptive to doing interracial if certain folks weren't trying to make her out to be a KKK poster girl or something. When people just make snide comments, I'd imagine the response it solicits from her is something along the lines of 'Fuck You!' and the possibility of her ever doing IR becomes ever more slim.
As for your counter-argument to my idea of spreading yourself too thin, if any one company seriously tried to make just one series to cover every serious niche in adult, they would go bankrupt...decisions have to be made about which niches (and thus audiences) are going to be focused on, and which are going to have to be left for someone else to tackle. For example, why aren't you kicking up a fuss about the lack of trannys in Vivid movies, or the fact Nikki hasn't done a tranny movie yet?
No one company can be all things to all people...it's just not possible. I'm not going to be bombarding Falcon or Bel Ami with emails castigating them for the lack of heterosexual sex in their videos, just as I'm not about to take Black Ice to task about a lack of white guys in their videos...as I've said before, if by the same token a company chooses to focus on white-on-white sex, more power to them.
If Slayer recorded a rap album, or 50 Cent decided to record a death metal album, the label wouldn't know if they should be concentrating on marketing either album to rap or metal fans. In a blue sky scenario, the album would appeal to both sets of fans, but there's also the prospect that it wouldn't appeal to either. Would you buy the next Lexington Steele movie if he decided he was going to be fucking guys as well as girls (and thus appeal to both markets)? Some people would, but I think the majority of his fans wouldn't. Also, to hark back to my comments about girl/girl only performers...are all male performers homophobes if they refuse to have sex with guys in their scenes?
At the end of the day, studios are free to make what they want, and performers are free to choose to perform in the way they want, just as you are equally free to choose whether or not you patronise said performer or studio with your hard earned cash. But just because certain performers and studios don't revolve around your particular idea of what is right and acceptable doesn't necessarily mean that there is anything intrinsically 'wrong' with the way they choose to steer their respective career or business.
So, if you want to go out and cry racist on girls who have yet to do IR, be sure to cry homophobe at most male performers and cry misandry at the girl/girl only crowd...then you have your analphobes, trannyphobes etc...the list is endless, but you only choose to see the 'discrimination' which you perceive affects you or in which you have some form of self-interest. You choose to focus on one niche or fetish, which will benefit one audience (fans of interracial), yet you deride the notion of studios doing the same and focusing their efforts on one audience.
All I'm saying is that what you are practicing and what you are preaching just don't match up...
Um, hello...it's a "discussion forum". This is a place where people, well, discuss things in a forum. Now, I realize that because this issue does not affect your point of view (and indeed you may be one of the haters that gets off on porn stars dicrimination against Black men) but never told you what you are or are not allowed to discuss.
For the record, she addressed me first, not vice versa. I niether accosted her, nor badgered her. Furthermore, she's a grownup, she can speak for herself...
Sorry to hear about the way they treated you, but this could be the best thing that's ever happened to you. You are one of the most beautiful women ever (not just in porn, anywhere), and you will be extremely successful wherever you go- stay strong and do what YOU want to do- it's your life, your body and your career!
People like you are the ones who chase away the girls from this board.
Stop flogging the IR horse. It's dead.

Thanks Nikki, apparently only the ignorant portion of the board doesn't recognize free-will or as you mentioned, contractual dealings. That said, it's your life (pussy & ass, too), fuck who & how you want to, babe!.

Amen Monstar ..... Back on topic i really could careless about some guys agenda..... make your own thread if we want to hear you babble about IR we will come to your thread..... as for Nikki i love your work i will contiue to watch and buy your stuff... as for teravision they will get no more money form me ...... Nikki hope to see you at Erotica LA.....
I'm not attracted to most black women and would probably never consider being intimate with one. There, I said it. That I'm not racist in any way, or that I have very close friends who are black, apparently wouldn't make a difference to someone such as yourself -- a person who obviously considers another person's preference in sexual partners and a public lynching to be damn-near the same thing.
Cry me a fuckin' river, my brotha.
I'll go out on a limb and assume you're a frequent reader/contributor at the Mr. Marcus forum. If you're not, maybe you should head on over there. You'll feel very much at home. I hear they even send fruit baskets to new contributors who will fight oppression and intolerance head-on through lengthy discussions on the racial discriminations committed by big tit, blonde hair pornstars.
Damn. Either you haven't been paying attention, or you assume that every Black man who appoaches this issue is stupid.
Jenna Haze. Ran the same game. "don't like" "not attracted" "my prefrence". As soon as the phone stopped ringing and it was time go do some IR to reinvigorate her carrer then it became "was always attracted" and "curious since I was a teenager".
Look, we know this game. Unlike you, we've had to play it all of our lives. Why don't top end females come into this business saying they refuse to do white men? Why is it ALWAYS refusing to to Black men? I know those women exist, but there is no percieved profit in blanking out white men.
If you believe that it's really about racial prefrence, you probably believe we went to Iraq because of "weapons of mass destruction". Vivid = Haliburton
Even though Pleasure Productions wasn't the biggest/most popular production company, they treated me really well. Over at Jill Kelly Productions, well I just came aboard at the wrong time.
