There’s been an interesting thread going at www.adultdvdtalk.com

Roger T. Pipe addressing Lexington Steele: About a year ago we did a long interview that never actually got published. Things changed so drastically for you that we decided to scrap it and wait for this one. At that time you were with Red Light, but you split soon after we talked. What is your take on that?

(Lexington Steele)

Around September 30th it was brought to my attention that an individual, a criminal rat-bastard, who shall remain nameless, was stealing my product. Once I found out about it, changes had to be made. Word came to me from a person I trusted. Once I was alerted to that, my partner, who is an attorney of multiple-practice, went over my account statements. After seven and a half hours it all dawned on us. I immediately left the company and prepared to do my own distribution. Leaving the titles with Red Light for distribution was a smart move for me. I was not ready to go into self-distribution.

I knew that my movies would continue to sell. By allowing them to continue distributing my movies I knew that I would have a steady stream of income. This helped finance the foundation of my own distribution. Getting away from Red Light was a situation that was brought upon solely because I was being stolen from. This is not to say anything against David, the current owner. He is a great guy. There will be some points of contention coming, but I have repaid every dollar I ever borrowed from them. The amount of money stolen from me is in the quarters of millions of dollars. Everyone there is so cool and I know that it won’t be cool after the shit hits the fan. I will say again that it was not David who did this. He was straight up with me from the beginning. It was another individual entirely.

Dion Giarrusso then weighs in having noted that he’s now building homes, and just bought a Burger King in St Louis.

Dion states: You know I never read this interview lexington gave, all I will say is I never took nothing from lexington, I gave him a loan close to 200,000 to own his own product, we had a deal that he would perform for all the Red Light District Directors, lexington didn’t keep his word, I didn’t like his box covers, I didn’t like the choice of girls he put in his movies, we had a formula at Red Light District that we would shoot new fresh girls and thats not what lexington was doing, not that his girls were bad, they just didn’t fit into my formula,I believe in my heart Lexington never planned on staying at Red Light District from day one, he just wanted to use my money to launch his own company,

I fired lexington Steele, told him to get his stuff and get out of my building, he can say what ever he wants about me, I will take the high road, I could say allot about this guy, but truefully I got to much to loose, I got some good things going on in my life, I truly wish Lexington the best, but he will find out real soon it isn’t that easy to put out your own product, I walk tall and did a lot of good for a lot of people in this business.
