I have no idea if she's telling the truth or not, but in my past job I knew a lot of dancers who were shy, even at full nude clubs. When they were working they played a character, but otherwise they were introverts. I wouldn't be surprised if some pornstars are the same way. Edited by - misspornUSA on 10/11/2017 12:17:56 PM
Lana, I read your recent tweets. I know you read these threads. You need to come up with something better. For example: "I apologize to my family, my former agency, industry persons, my fans, and Adriana Chechik for an incident that occurred this past weekend. I won't go into specific details because that's a private matter between myself, Adriana Chechik, and my former agency. Suffice it to say that my behavior was out of character and for any people directly involved that I hurt or offended I'm sorry. I do want to dispel some awful and untrue rumors floating around the Internet about me. List the incorrect stuff (don't lie or gloss over it). If it is damaging, leave it out. I'm not a perfect person. I'm a work in progress like most people are. Unfortunately, because of my public persona my mistakes and imperfections can become public, misrepresented, and/or get magnified for the world to see. I want to say to industry people reading this tweet. I'm a professional. I'm bankable as you already know. I'm ready to work. Please contact my new agency for bookings if you want to do business and make money. I want to say to my fans. Thank you for your continued support. Your words of encouragement have and continue to get me thru trying times. Thanks Lana" Get with a PR firm or a few of these porn producers/directors you've made so much money for to come up with something better than those 2 recent tweets. Also, update your Twitter page to remove ladirectmodels references and unfollow and block those LA Direct Models talking negatively about you.
^Thanks. However, I've had a few people DM me disagreeing with my post. They think she should keep her mouth shut. Edited by - fanofman on 10/11/2017 12:57:46 PM
She could have very well drank those shots (whatever the reason, cause she is shy let's say), got drunk and lost her head and attacked Adriana then probably fell into da bay lol! Still it's not an excuse, just saying.

She stood up and took a bit of responsibility and it's a good start towards recovery. That said, Speaking about facts is not negative. She made a mistake. People commenting about how that mistake impacts them them and their business is not negative. It is reality.
So now we've seen the Tweets from Adriana. We've seen the Tweets from Lana. And, unless any of us were there and actually witnessed the fight between them, we can dismiss the speculation surrounding the incident. Don't forget that some of Adriana's party can be very biased as to what happened as anyone in Lana's party could say the opposite. All we've posted here is. It was a scratch, a bruise, a knife even a gun. She was jailed, she wasn't jailed. She's on drugs, she's not on drugs. she mad and should be in an Asylum, she's not mad etc. All I am saying is apart from the Tweets of the main characters in this incident (Adriana and Lana) virtually the rest of this thread is just speculation.
^ What isn't 'speculation' is that whatever happened, her agency dumped her. Given her obvious popularity among the porn fans and the amount they must have made from representing her, I can't imagine that they would have been dumb enough to do that so quickly for no apparent reason.

THIS!!!! Look at any sports team: it takes a HELL of a lot for them to cut ties with a player who is important to them and makes them $$$$$ Why in the world would her agency drop her (and so quickly) over "just a scratch" when she is so popular and makes them $$$$? They obviously know a lot more than anybody about her and her actions as of late. But "spin" away Bois.
One of us on here even said she was "Guilty of assault". Unless the American justice system is the quickest system in the world. The incident hasn't even gone to trial yet!!

I haven't seen any of her "fans" give an explanation as to why her agency dropped her so quickly. Are they part of the conspiracy against Lana also?

To fanofman: No I think legally it is good. She should not admit all the blame, if it is not hers, but she should say something to clean her position against violence and to show repentance IF she did anything wrong. Lana is a human being and she makes mistakes. Many other pornstars (male or female) did in the past and they will do in the future too. The same rules for all the other persons who paid their role in this dispute. However she needs to be careful of what she says in public. She needs to be very accurate. You know what they say. "Everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law". That's the first law Publicists learn. If Lana is drug free and she can prove it, all these people who slandered against her publicly and accused her as drug addict are in big trouble! I wouldn't advise her to sue them but she could if she wanted it.

So other than forum posts, why does everyone believe so much she went to jail? People have looked up her real name, there are no records of this with the police. So if someone says "She didnt go to jail", its a PR Machine? Do people care about what happened , or do they just want to believe whatever fires up the anger on a message forum. Someone fucked up so lets hammer them even harder. She lost her agent, she will lose work and income, I think the punishments are suitable. Why doe there have to be more? Again, this is way over blown everyone. People should just let her be. She fucked up, she has issues, she needs help. We all get that. Trying to obliterate her career over what again, was a minimal issue fueled by booze and substances, is over kill. I hope all of you get more consideration when making mistakes in life. And again, I am not a defender of anyone. I have never seen a Lana scene and am a big Chechik fan. But the way this is all playing out on this forum is really bad.

Breaking my silence to say a few things: 1) Not sold yet on the drug rumors, especially heroin, but if would explain the changes in her face in recent months as well as the consistent "glossy/glazed over" look in recent scenes 2) Her tweets are total B.S. For starters, this isn't her first awards show or first time up on stage. So, while it is possible she was super drunk from shots I don't buy the excuse that she did them cause she was shy. 3) My sister went to college at University of Tampa and I've been to that city many times. One does not merely "fall into Tampa Bay"... you either get pushed in, you knowingly/willingly jump in or you walk in off a beach and go deep enough that you're trying to commit suicide as the rumors suggest. 4) Of course the 100% true version of the story isn't going to be given to us and the version we have will be denied by her supporters and promoted by her enemies. But, for me at least, the telling thing is how quickly LA Direct Models cut ties with her. Regardless of your opinion of Lana she is among the most popular women in the industry. She churns out scenes and makes money for the agency. Money matters most in any industry and if this wasn't TRULY bad for Lana, the agency doesn't rush to drop her. Period. 5) The complete silence from Lana for 3 days since the incident(s) occurred suggest she was somewhere without cell phone access. Whether that be in prison or a psych ward or a mental hospital. When something like this happens, you don't just sit back and be silent for so long. It is very obvious that wherever she was they wouldn't let her have her cell phone to access social media and comment on it. I'll conclude by saying this: I understand for her big supporters (of which I used to be one) this is all very hard for you to take. And I get you're looking at all this with rose-colored glasses that cloud your judgment. None of this is easy to swallow for a woman we (I'll include myself) held in the highest regard. But there are too many things that have gone on with her in recent months, and really in her year-and-a-half in the industry that suggest there are problems here. Some serious mental/psychological problems. If you are still a huge fan of hers, it is probably for the best that you don't deny these issues and go on blindly defending her but instead try and urge her to seek help. If any single one of the things are true in this story (drugs, physical attack, arrest, suicide attempt) then she is a 21-year-old woman in need of serious help or her life is going to sadly end WAY before it should.

I guess I'm a fan of sorts. Mostly, because I'm a female that kind of feels a bit sorry for her. I think she's a bit of a lost soul. I don't think she's the best natural porn performer at all. I don't believe she enjoys the sex. I don't buy her porn theatrics (overly enthusiastic, too loud and fake dirty talk) but I think she tries extremely hard to please her fans. She's doing all this crazy shit to please fans. I believe she gives everything she's got to give a good performance and that's why I give her top porn girl honors. Why did her agency drop her? Who knows? They were touting her awards on Twitter two hours before announcing she was dropped. They probably got threats from other girls that they would leave if she wasn't dropped. Maybe they think she's a time bomb waiting to go off and didn't want her to explode on their watch. Based on what people say about her former agency, they probably did her a favor letting her go. Now she can get herself together and find a short-term contract with another agency if she decides to stay in the business.

^ Maybe you're right but I believe $$$$$$ talks louder than anything else in the porn industry. They dropped a VERY popular, money-making performer in a hot minute. Again, they know WAY more than anyone else about her behavior the last few months.
We'd love the chance to work with Lana and deal with what happened in the best/most positive way possible. And we agree, blocking negative tweets is always a good idea. We also noticed an article on Mike South saying she was in fact NOT arrested: mikesouth.com/legal/lana-rhoades-was-not-arrested-18751. Looks like there is a lot of incorrect information floating around.
Lana is hot ..she can do no wrong ..hahahahhahhaha !!!

To PornStarNamedBuckNaked: Things are a lot more complicated in Lanas case because there are many variables in it. Yes lets talk about something which is closer to reality than raw speculations Fact 1. Lana has expressed very positively about Adriana in public and she said that she and Megan Rain convinced her to sign in LA Direct. She had also said good things about Adria Rae. Fact 2. Lana was not arrested by Tampa police because she is not in jail and according to miss Kelli there is no record of her arrest in the police database. Fact 3. Lana was not held in psychiatric ward for 72 hours, because as far as I know people cannot use their mobile phone there. According to many sources Lana communicated with several people plus she posted tweets in Twitter. Fact 4. Lana was under influence of psychotropic substances. Nobody yet confirmed that it was hard drugs but they all admitted she had some shots before the incident. Plus Lana was NOT arrested for drugs. This is an important info some people miss. Fact 5. According to both sides there was a verbal dispute between miss Rae and miss Rhoades which lead the later one to explode. Fact 6. There is one girl, Lana, who is relatively new, not very social, with very low social media presence, who havent yet managed to connect in the industry against many. Adriana is many years in the industry and has already created a solid name, creating many friends who support her. Fact 7. There is another variable in the case which is called Pierre Woodman. The recent events in Budapest brought him against her. Pierre is openly fighting her. Pierre doesnt hide that him and Derek are friends.
I don't know you nor owe you anything, but I must say, it's one of the most logic, reasonable and down to Earth posts in this thread. Bravo sir! I agree on everything.

At the end of the day I want what's best for Lana. If that means getting a new agent and continuing on, that's great. If it means taking a break or retiring, that's what she should do. But I am curious about one thing; she's stated many times that she's booked til February, maybe even past that by now, and I'm wondering what happens to those bookings. Do they still stand? Do they all vanish now that she's no longer with LA Direct?

You gotta love the "new" members who signed up to just post in this thread. Also, "Lana was under influence of psychotropic substances. Nobody yet confirmed that it was hard drugs but they all admitted she had some shots before the incident. " LOL Also, also, "There is one girl, Lana, who is relatively new, not very social, with very low social media presence, who havent yet managed to connect in the industry" Relatively new? Not very social? Very low social media presence? I don't know who you are talking about but it sure as hell isn't Lana! LOL LOL

I laughed hard here! Lana's face is different because she went through cosmetic surgeries. It's almost certain that she injected botox of other thing like that in her lips. Edited by - vrakenbaq on 10/11/2017 3:48:14 PM
^13 1. She's lost weight, tanning, and tweaking her appearance with lip fillers and other assorted nonsense. That's why she looks different. 2. She looks like a deer caught in headlights when she's at these events and accepting awards. Her photos at these events look very uncomfortable. I can believe that she took a few drinks to relax and calm down. 3. I don't buy falling into Tampa Bay tweet either. She should have not even commented about that. 4. As I stated before, they probably consider her a time bomb waiting to happen so cut ties with her. Good for her. Now she doesn't have to feel pressure to perform. She can get herself together and find another agency with a short-term contract if she wants to continue with porn. 5. If she had been arrested, LA Direct Models would have posted her mugshot all over the Internet. If she was out of commission for health reasons, then that's her business and none of ours. I think don't think the ardent fans are in denial of possible issues. They just see her more than as more than jerkoff material. They feel the need to defend her because they have become somewhat attached to the persona. She's personable and comes across as extremely vulnerable. The rest don't give a damn and just want to see her get railed. Look how much traffic she gets on these message boards and DVD sales she generates. Lana is good for porn. LOL.
MOD: Can we keep the discussion to the topic of the thread? Performers' surgeries or looks are not relevant at all to the incident. Other posters have observed that people may be taking sides based on which performer is their favorite. This thread isn't going to devolve into a flame war between Team Lana and Team Adriana or something like that. I'll ask again that people please review the forum etiquette:So whatever your opinion on this issue, please be aware that insults directed at either the performers or fellow posters aren't allowed. Keep the discussion civil. Thanks.
Agree with a lot of what you say, although I'm a lot more cynical about Lana's motives for wanting to 'please her fans'. If that was true, why the alleged histrionics over an award? Her 'status' in the porn pecking order seemed to be really important to her and might even have been influenced by all those on these threads saying anything other than her winning the top awards would be a con. Understand your points about possible influence of other performers but that's surely something that would take a little while to have an impact....not in 2 hours. Can't really buy that explanation.
It is irrelevant how long it lasted, just that it happened at all.

There are three sides to this story. 1. Lana's side. 2. The Adriana (and friends) side. 3. What really happened. As far as the Agency goes; it could be as simple as one party saying "Either she goes or I go!"
Assault is a big deal. Made even worse that she attacked one of the most popular women in the business & then jumped in the river saying she wanted to die. Most likely she was already on thin ice with LA Direct over her prior beahviour

Well, depends on the context. Drug fueled or booze fueled attacks during spats (even if they end up with some scratches and marks), are much different than me wanting down the street and assaulting a minority and taking his wallet while spewing a racial slur. There is context. She isn't going to get a criminal record over this, charges are unlikely to be laid, Adrianna's wounds will heal in a couple of weeks, Lana needs help from her friends. I hate to be repetitive, but this kind of stuff between young people is common. While is sucks, and yes, Lana should get consequences (she already has), this is not anywhere near the severity that everyone is making it to be. Again, do people really think THIS should bury someone for life? That is how all these internet detectives (who can't even get their stories straight on any jail visits), and "body and face analysts", seem to be. A young person has substance issues and fucked up. Let;s take this in context. Can we all take a breath instead of a bunch of fans arguing over something they never witnessed, and stop painting someone as being the most horrible creature in the industry?
I think she does it largely to please fans. She doesn't have to perform these extreme (blowbang, gangbangs, DP, DAP, etc.) acts. With her looks, she could be a vanilla performer and get plenty of work. She's doing all this extreme stuff for fans and to be recognized as a top performer in the industry. From what I read, she wasn't even nominated for the award that Adriana Chechik won so it doesn't make sense that the fight was about that. Why would you get into a cat fight for an award you weren't even nominated for. Sounds stupid to me. I think something petty happened between these girls. She was drunk, high, and/or stupid, and scratched her up. She doesn't have true or fake friends in the industry so no one is going to come to her defense. She's kind of out there on her own. No excuse but I imagine that's what happened. Edited by - fanofman on 10/11/2017 4:42:45 PM
