What if the other LA Direct talent knows more about her and her actions than we do and had decided that enough was enough? Or, maybe, LA Direct did the right thing because it was, you know, the right thing.

^^^^I'm not arguing for or against Derek's choice to drop Lana. This is about why he dropped Lana, or more specifically jimbob50's speculation about why Derek dropped Lana. I'm interested in whether jimbob50 believes that Derek would have dropped Lana if she were the only one of his talents involved, and if LA Direct's other talent took her side. It's hypothetical, and my question doesn't imply that Lana should or shouldn't haven't been dropped. Edited by - misspornUSA on 10/11/2017 5:03:21 PM
She and maybe others not to mention someone living in France a very grudgy one who's been whispering against her for months now who is in very friendly terms with her Agent from whom he hires a lot of girls
Let me ask you a question Do you know her personally? Were you there? Are you an eyewitness? you seem to be very adamant giving blame and very judgemental you surely must have first hand experience with her is that so? Edited by - LCF on 10/11/2017 5:14:32 PM

^ That all fits. Let's not drag the over seas angle into it. Thread will get locked in 5 seconds.
^ Aren't you doing the very thing you have said of others with that though? I agree that it is highly probable but it isn't anymore valid than anyone else's comments made with out proof. Not trying to start shit, just pointing things out. Edited by - FlacFan on 10/11/2017 5:23:25 PM
I've been following the discussions, two things I feel aren't getting enough attention: -If those tweets about heroin and other drugs can be proven wrong or she gets them to court where they're unable to show proof, those girls can be taken to the cleaners financially the same way those simple tweets will do a lot of damage ultimately to Lana's reputation. I'm actually quite surprised that Megan Rain in particular made those tweets as I never would have expected that from her publically. Which goes to show again that you don't know how these people are in real life at all and you can't be fooled by what you see on camera or social media. -One of the logical conclusions for LA direct dropping her so quickly would be all those girls threatening to go on strike if you will unless they got rid of Lana. No proof of this yet but it's not hard to believe, there's a lot of girls who don't like her(reasons already touched upon earlier).

No, I don't know her personally. Do you? As for giving blame, aren't you, with your post, putting blame On He Who Shall Not Be Named? Blaming the "grudgy one" as you called him. Surely you have first-hand experience with him. Is that so? Glass houses dude.
I'm not going through that path especially here let's stay focused on those who were there: Lana, Adriana and Adria and let's hope someone who was there can clarify , if allowed , this thing is puzzling me was everybody there looking at something else?

Agreed. My impression of Megan was that she was mature for her age. When Adriana had a falling out with Karmen Karma, Megan did not take sides and maintained her friendship with both women. That surprised me. Now there's this: [Tweet is no longer available] The kinda response that I've seen a hundred times. Guess Megan's not one of the exceptions. Oh well.
Megan Rain is ruthless. On a side note, I don't think it was wise for Lana to address "falling into Tampa Bay" - as it inadvertently confirmed the suicide rumors.
You're assuming the allegations are false. I've no proof either way. All I would say is, following your argument, one 'logical conclusion' might be that those who have made those accusations may just be telling the truth because they are aware of the potential legal consequences of lying about something that serious. Another 'logical conclusion' of LA Direct dumping her so quickly could be that they were aware of her 'issues' and for them this was the 'final straw'!
^^Yes, she is ruthless. She's in a twitter feud with Bella Rose now. Edited by - fanofman on 10/11/2017 6:49:23 PM

First off, she's not going to go on the Oprah show to make amends and apologize to America. Secondly, anyone issuing a statement like that would literally be laughed right out of the industry.

well LA Direct owner has very bad repo but if even [Insult removed] like him decided to dropped her it means for me she had to done something really fucked up. Edited by - Mister Fahrenheit on 10/11/2017 8:04:23 PM

The line is "cocaine is a hell of a drug". Or "what did the five fingers say to the face?"

Have you seen the documentary Louis Theroux did about the industry? He visits the LA Direct office and the people who work there hate working there. It's pretty bleak, but we still watch porn anyway.

Besides the whole thing? 1. It reeks of desperation after the fact! 2. It's from a 20 year pornstar who got into a tiff with another porn star. 3. No one really cares beyond people on this site and a few others. 4. A porn star is not a mainstream star adored by hundreds of million people and big money advertisers 5. Why is she apologizing to her family? 6. The new flavor of the month has already arrived. 7. People in the industry have already moved on. 8. See #'s 1-7
Re: idea of the threat of other girls dropping the agency: While theoretically possible, the pure speed between when this happened and her being dropped just is not common in this day and age where stars are given the benefit of the doubt unless the situation can't be redeemed. People are always emotional in the hours after something like this happens. There's no reason not to think that if this was simply Lana going after Adriana and Adriana threatening to quit that the LA Direct guy would do whatever he could to diffuse and try to calm the situation for a day or two and come back to the table to see how things are from a purely selfish financial reason. This would give more time to get more information from the hospital/third-party eyewitnesses before coming to a conclusion if there should have been any further action taken. Typically cooler heads prevail after a few days, and the alternative of them simply not booking her with girls that the relationships were irreparable could have easily happened. The fact that within 12 hours there apparently was enough information that he didn't even attempt any kind of mediation, the typical PR "no comment until we have all the facts" response, nor even a "suspension" and outright dropped her when in the past models have simply been frozen out for the remaining time on their contracts there to me at least only point to two options. First, as Pitbull said, there was some sort of probation unknown to the public in which this was the final straw, or whatever happened was so egregious that he felt the PR and financial hit was worth cutting ties. Again, not to say it's impossible, but it just doesn't make financial or PR sense for them to not try and take a day or two and attempt to diffuse any threats to quit if this was the case.
^4. I disagree. Based on your tweets to some of her followers, you don't appear to be a fan of hers. Curious as to why do you post here and in her thread?

1. This isn't twitter so that's a moot issue. 2. Just because I may or may not be a fan of someone doesn't mean I'm not allowed to post observations that I made. 3. Adored by hundreds of millions of people and big money advertisers? On what planet is that?
What annoys me the most is that most of you are acting like you know Lana personally and like you were there when she and Adriana had their little debacle. I really wish we knew the full story and that's the only reason I'm even reading through this thread, to get updates-- But you guys are incredibly annoying "Lana has gotten surgery" "She's so crazy she belongs in a psych ward!" "Lana has a drug problem, she needs to seek help" "Lana was 100% in jail!" I don't mind reading through your theories, It's kind of fun-- but that's all it is! A THEORY! Stop acting like you know everything. You're insulting someone you don't even know personally, You don't know her life and you're not in her shoes. I'm not even just saying this to defend Lana, I'm saying this to defend anyone and everyone on social media you guys assume shit about when you don't even know them personally. It's a problem. Most of you are intelligent, use your brain...The possibilities of what and why this all happened are endless, why choose to believe the worst one? What is the point in that? That only makes things worse! lol I'm glad Lana finally spoke out though! Now we know some information lol I don't think we'll ever get the full story. I suggest we stop listening to what Megan Rain and all those other porn stars that keep tweeting about what happened like as if it had anything to do with them lol bc it seems like they're spreading lies...
Let me first say I have never met Lana (or any other porn actress), I don't know her personally, nor will I probably ever meet her. Like many on here though I was taken in by her natural beauty, eyes, body, and sexuality. Her sweet voice, her perceived honesty, and communications with fans were definitely other pluses to me. From what little I saw and learned about her, she seemed to be happy, she takes great pride in her work, she was gaining an ever larger audience, and is working with some of the higher quality studios and directors in the business. This latest news has obviously thrown me and many others for a loss. I'm guessing it is most likely a culmination of numerous factors (experimenting with alcohol or drugs, the results of the awards that evening which indicates she many not know how to deal with adversity, feeling underappreciated by those she admired, low self-worth, or recent lack of attention from someone she was attracted to (9/29 twitter post).) Regardless, when under the influence, oftentimes our true self comes out. If indeed she scratched Adriana's neck and purposefully fell into the ocean resulting in her contract being terminated, these both point to a side of Lana I and many were not aware of. Anger and hurting another human being either physically, emotionally, or verbally is never the answer. Neither is self-harm either. We all know this. I just truly hope if she has noticed a change in herself (and not for the better) recently, this series of events has put a big enough scare into her where she either (a) reaches out to family and close friends for support or (b) gets additional help. The alternative is too scary to even contemplate for someone who just turned 21 and has her whole life ahead of her. Lana, if by chance you are reading the comments on this post, I'm sure to some you may be just a porn actress. But I know you are more than that. You are first a human being with feelings, aspirations, and the desire to be loved. Don't let the actions of a few change who you were when you started your journey a few years ago. Stay true to yourself and your Midwestern roots. Don't let the bright lights of Hollywood and the trappings of fame change you. Please try not to use drugs and/or alcohol to cope because that never works either. You are more than a pretty face and body. To those who see that, watch your videos to support you, and take the time to constructively post to you on social media, know that you are cared about, we want to see you happy, and we want what is best for you. Otherwise we wouldn't be here overanalyzing all this. So, please take care of yourself. Wishing you all the very best in life, wherever that may take you.
Of course, she did exactly that (vanilla porn) for a few months last year and got a lot of fan attention for it, only to quit saying that doing porn wasn't good for her. Several months later she's back and suddenly doing anal and DP left, right and center. I find the "she's just doing it to please fans" narrative a bit questionable, given the whole timeline. (Not to mention that it wildly contradicts the "Lana does all these things because that's the sexual being she is" narrative that was being spun by all and sundry in her threads for the last several months.)

I think one of two things have happened as to why LA Direct dropped her so fast. 1. Its not the first incident they've had with Lana and that was the final straw or 2. Adriana basically said, she goes or I go. And i guess Adriana makes them more money. But i do find it unusual an agent drops a performer over something like this so fast with all the other bullshit that happens we hear about. ----Dread's Twitter----
