Porn Valley- I spoke to Skeeter Kerkove this weekend. He seemed to be in a pretty good mood. Nobody owes him money this week. Okay, check that.
“I got burned on a deal with somebody who you told me wasn’t in such good reputation,” he says. Skeeter was working on this set for 19 hours. From what he’s saying, it sounds like he was a consultant/cheerleader on this shoot.
“And no money,” Skeeter adds. I tell Skeeter I know what he’s saying because I had dealings with Otto Bauer a couple of years ago.
“This is your buddy,” I tell Skeeter.
“My buddy,” he agrees.
“Your buddy who I fucking told you about.”
“He totally raped me,” continues Skeeter. “Bro, my whole vehicle was loaded with brand new fetish clothing.”
“Your fucking buddy and I warned you months ago,” I continue to rub it in.
“Yes you did,” Skeeter replies with all humility. “And I’m there with all the leashes, the collars, I mean butt plugs- how to do this and that. I told him how to make an extra $12,000 per movie on this type of budget. And instead I got used that day on how to use Skeeter Kerkove, how to manage time and sets. I got used that day. That was the bottom line. Let’s use him one day just to see how he truly does it under pressure. I had no problem helping that day but I realized I got royally ripped off on my knowledge of management and time and how you sell this over here; and how you do this legally. I worked for free that day. Lesson learned. To offer me $150? That’s $12 an hour. Don’t P.A.’s earn more than that?
“$12 an hour! Come on- if a friend of mine is in a bind I’ll work for free. But I don’t want to work for $12 a hour. I think I’m a little above that and I’m not being mean towards people who do earn that. I just think still in my career I’m worth a little more. I talked a girl into fisting herself who didn’t know it could be done- yeah put a pool stick in your ass- that was what I was there for. To be a cheerleader. Maybe not the most attractive cheerleader but I could still be a cheerleader.
“Then it’s the same game- he’s telling me ‘I got this other new gig.’ Yeah, you do. Right, bro, gotta go. He’s got this new gig. I don’t know how long it’ll last. I don’t know, bro, enjoy the ride. I already warned him nothing lasts forever. I learned this from you in 1999. I clearly told him be careful on every bridge you burn. Be careful who you fuck around with.”
On a similar note, Skeeter says there was a lot of press in attendance on this shoot but recalled reading nothing about it on the Internet. Which he finds odd because it was him, Jim Powers and Otto.
“Just imagine me with my drama, way over the top, drinking, smoking, getting Dana DeArmond to put a fist in her pussy while she’s taking a dick in her ass,” Skeeter muses. “And ass to pussy and pussy to ass. She was happier than a pig in shit doing that. I didn’t read about it on the Internet.
“Because you weren’t there,” surmises Skeeter. “Oh, there were people there you knew. “We were doing all these atrocities throughout the day, drinking and smoking. Even Jim was drinking. There’s a lot of drama and a couple of people are pretty impressed that the three of us are on the same set and the only way to make it better would be having Max Hardcore there. That’s as good as you can get. Never read a thing about it on the Internet. But I did read a couple of things that had something to do with Michael Ninn. But I don’t know who these people were. I read it on AVN.com or something.”
“But you couldn’t write terrible things about me anyway because the girls are hugging me and we’re doing the wardrobe and they’re kissing me and loving me. Even these girls who I don’t know are giving me love. The makeup artist who I don’t know is giving me love.
“And I saw Tony Batman there with that guy Dominic who he calls Dr. X. I already know Otto told them no big press on Skeeter, only him. It was one of those days. But I know you know this because you are the master of what happens when things are manipulated and twisted. I know you could see what was going on that day. But it was me, bro. I’ll tell you this little Batman-guy, he’s just as cute as a button.”
Skeeter reports he’s talking to Bridgette again.
“The other night I’m on the phone with her and telling her Max is coming over. She’s like aaaaagh! You’re still a porn king. Still doing all that yucky porn stuff. I said Max is coming over to visit. It doesn’t have anything to do with porn. He’s got a brand new Corvette and he’s showing it to me. It was bad ass. Me and Max were at the Kerkove castle. My neighbor takes a picture of me and Max. They don’t know who Max is. They’re talking to Max and having a good time.”
In his conversation with Bridgette, she commented on the photo of him and Max.
“I know that you and Max have a special close friendship, and that you guys respect each other a lot,” Skeeter quotes her as saying. “I know his scenes are a little over the top at times. If I was in the same room I’d be nice to him. If I was in the same room as you and Gene, I’d leave. That’s what she told me. I said Gene is a true villain. He’s beyond dangerous. She goes, I know it, still if I was in the same room as you two, I’d leave both of you and you’re the father of my kids.”
Skeeter says he told Bridgette, based on what he knows now, he wishes the two of them had never gotten into porn.
“She explained to me,” Skeeter continues. “You know my mom liked you. You know my mom trusted you but once we got into this business and it became public that’s when they hated you. That’s pretty powerful thing she told me, being that honest, that everything was cool until it became the decadent Kerkoves.”
Skeeter recalls a former girl friend, Karen Johnson.
“Bridgette knows all about this story- even at age 15 I was requesting that my girls would dress up in this over-the-top glamorous way. I wanted them in high heels, thigh high boots, too much makeup, extra long nails. I remember with Karen Johnson, when we were dating, I would tell her I want you to wear really, really thin, white skintight pants with no underwear and a shaved pussy. So when I pick you up for school everyone can see your camel toes through your white pants, separating up into your thighs.
“I would pull the back of her pants into her butthole to separate the whole lower cheek going down into the upper thighs. This was my vision at 15. I told her how to pluck her eyebrows. How to put on this silver eyeshadow. I was 15 and she was 15 and I was driving my 1959 Chevy Apache truck that I bought for $1400. Me and Karen just drove around in my truck- illegally- and that’s what I did. But I also had her dressing to the fucking nines and looking so hot in school. Then her sister Linda Johnson who was 18- she introduced me to her friend Debbie Campbell who was 19. I was 15- and just so you know there was a huge crime going on where it’s reversed and the girl’s older.
“So Debbie and I started having sex even at my mom and dad’s house. This, technically, was a felony which would make Debbie Campbell a registered sex offender because you cannot be 19 years old and have sex with a 15 year-old in California at any time. So when Karen found out, I told her the truth. I couldn’t lie to her. Your sister lined it up. It happened.”
Back on the subject of Dana DeArmond and what he’s seen of her, Skeeter, who’s been shooting movies for Robert Hill, is convinced he could shoot a blockbuster scene with DeArmond and Kelly Wells.
“I believe Dana can take a fist in the pussy and one in the ass,” Skeeter continues. “She could carry that distinction to her grave.”
Skeeter also has a chuckle over the interview I did with Leah Luv.
“When I was reading that shit I’m going oh my God, Gene’s writing about shit that I’ve known about for months. This is so bad!”
“Before I got into porn I bought houses,” says Skeeter veering the subject towards Jay Grdina. “I bought brand new trucks and cars. I didn’t borrow money. I didn’t have family members bail me out of jail like Jay Grdina who claims he has all this money. Within some reason of making a claim you can prove it, right? Like a W-2? With Jay Grdina you can’t. You got him directing two or three movies before meeting a girl named Jenna Jameson. But before that he was after Sylvia Saint who actively turned him down and said, no. She straight up said, no. She said I’m not buying your sales pitch. Nikita Denise was involved with this and so was Bridgette.
“When Jay got out of prison he knew time’s running short, I’ve got to sass up my hair, put a little more dye in it, put a little more volume in it, and I’ve got to find a girl. I can’t make it without a girl. Remember when he said he made millions from the phone-things? Prove it. If you’re going to say it on the Internet, you fucking prove it. You asured Jenna Jameson that you were a multi-millionaire before meeting her. Prove it. Because it’s easy to prove it. Just name off the properties you bought, the date of purchase and what you sold them for. If you’re telling Jenna you made three million dollars but only made $500,000, well, $500,000 is still impressive. You can prove that, right?
“But you can’t! Before being together with Jenna you can’t.”
Skeeter asks me about Jay and the only ignificant thing I can remember is that Grdina was a P.A. at the old VCA studios on Canoga. Skeeter remembers it as a place where Bridgette turned some tricks for one of Russ Hampshire’s golf buddies.
“The guy had a crew who came and worked at her house at Alpine Village to pull out all these evergreens that were too big,” laughs Skeeter. “This guy had these Mexicans for two weeks straight digging out all of these evergreen roots.
Skeeter also remembers it being the time that Bobby Vitale came over to fuck his “whore-wife” in the butt.
“You know- the guy who cut off Brianna Banks’ finger,” says Skeeter. “But thanks to Russ Hampshire and this trick we got a wider driveway out of it.”
