Porn Valley- The Jenna Jameson book is out and we got our copy- a 579 page tome designed exactly like all the WWE wrestling biog books you’ve been seeing over the last couple of years. I suppose we’ll be quoting from it chapter and verse over the next couple of days. But right off the bat, we note that Jameson, like Traci Lords, changes names and homogenizes identities in some instances.
Hmm, let’s see. Jenna talks about when she left Wicked. Jenna said she didn’t feel like the company was in her corner any longer. The straw that broke the camel’s back, apparently, came when Steve Orenstein hired “a guy” [ Aaron Karakis] to take care of the company websites including Jenna’s. Jenna said she kept getting calls from said “guy” to turn over confidential info that she felt was none of his business. Jameson said she didn’t trust the new web guy and told Orenstein as much. “But Steve didn’t do a thing,” she writes. Jameson said she told Orenstein that the web master was ripping both him and Jameson off.
“I’ve helped build this company on my back,”Jameson tells Orenstein. “And maybe I could tolerate it if the money was going to you, because you worked your ass off to make me who I am. But I will not stand by and watch this chintzy-ass motherfucker get rich off me.” Jameson writes that Orenstein failed to back her up.
“Between the website and the new girls who kept streaming into the company, things were getting uncomfortable at Wicked,” Jameson goes on to say. Consequently Jameson said she left when she saw the tell-tale warning signs.
“I had noticed that women in the adult indutry didn’t seem to be valued. The stars were just disposable products with with a shelf life of a few years.” Jameson said when she told Orenstein of her intention to leave, he calmy told her to go do her thing. Jameson writes that she remains friends with Joy King over there but doesn’t talk to Orenstein anymore.
