Jenna Haze Talks About Jules Jordan…final

Porn Valley- Jenna Haze was on Jason Sechrest’s Young & The Curious show Friday night where she probably gave the most detailed account of her career to date. Of course, Sechrest, www.jasoncurious.com had to delve into Haze’s current relationship with director Jules Jordan, and porn fans were all the better for it.

“Of all the KSEX shows I had to be on!” exclaimed Haze, laughing, as Sechrest continually extracted choice nuggets of gossip from Haze’s ore vein.

“This is one of the craziest conversations I’ve had in so long,” Haze had to admit. Sechrest noted that Haze was a former JKP contract girl, now out on her own.

“She also was only having sex with women for a years on camera,” announced Sechrest. “But she’s back to having sex with guys again. Thank Christ. Like we couldn’t be happier that she’s got a big dick in her again. We’ve been dying to see that for quite awhile.”

Sechrest described Haze as tiny and adorable. Then Haze mentioned how it took her two hours to get to the KSEX studios in the Friday traffic..

“That’s how you got your name- from “420”- Jenna Haze,” said Sechrest.

“I’m a stoner girl from Orange County that just likes to fuck,” Haze laughed. “…and read books and shop and make out with girls at parties.” Sechrest got into the JKP saga with Sechrest noting that he was doing publicity for JKP a year or two before they went bankrupt.

“I wanted to know where you were the day that you found out that Jill Kelly was leaving Jill Kelly Productions,” Sechrest stated doing a turn on the where were you when Kennedy got shot. Haze didn’t remember where she was except that the drama was a back and forth thing for awhile.

“She was leaving- and she would come back a little bit,” Haze observed. “But we hadn’t shot anything since February of last year. And then it was like July and they knew I was unhappy because we hadn’t shot anything. I was getting paid and everything and they hadn’t renewed my contract. I wasn’t even technically under contract any more but I was still dancing on the road representing them. They knew I was unhappy so they called me up and said we know you’re unhappy- the company is going downhill anyway, you’re free to go. I was like, yes! Finally.” Haze said she was kind of out of the gossip loop as it was and hadn’t taken active participation in the company.

“Jill was obsessed with her own issues that were going on in her relationship and stuff like that,” Haze added. Asked what those were, Haze said it was for Kelly to tell Sechrest that.

“Jill’s always had boyfriend problems,” she said. “And she was having medical problems and stuff like that.” Haze said by this time Kelly hadn’t taken an active role at all with the company.

“She was rarely ever there and the quality of the movies kept going more down hill and more down hill,” Haze added. “Finally by the last movie I did I was, like, you’ve got to be kidding me. I can’t be making this crappy porn. I’ve been doing this for three and a half years.” Haze said it was all good in the beginning.

“It was good for probably about the first seven or eight months that I was under contract,” said Haze. “We had great locations. We had all this stuff but it went downhill. And was, like, I can’t do this with my career any more.” Haze suspected the problems came on the financial end due to “inner company embezzling, possibly,” she said.

“There was all kinds of secret stuff that went on with Bob [Friedland] and everything.” Haze has no clue what happened to Friedland.

“He disappeared off the first of the earth- I haven’t seen him in so long,” she said. “I’m just glad I jumped ship in time and got out of there.” Haze mentioned that JKP was just sold to Penthouse.

“They’re going to have all my movies,” she said. Sechrest took that to mean all her “shit films.” Sechrest mentioned how Wankus, learning that Haze was going to be on the show, wanted Sechrest to promote the fact that Haze is in Faith’s Fantasies. Haze said she was in no hurry to watch any clips of her performance.

“I don’t like watching myself have sex,” she said.

Sechrest said he’d have been glad to show the clip except what’s the difference between this one and the 732 other scenes Haze did with Faith under contract to JKP.

“But it had to have been better,” laughed Haze. “It wasn’t a JKP Production!” Haze went on to say that JKP boxcovers were beautiful but that the content was shit. Sechrest was watching some of the clip commenting that from behind Haze looked like a little boy.

“If we could put a bandaid over your vagina I’d fuck the hell out of your ass,” he told her. “I’d just ream you. I really would.”

Haze didn’t want to watch any more of the scene and clarified that maybe she and Faith have worked together 10 or 11 times as opposed to the exaggerated number that Sechrest offered. Asked if this particular scene with Faith was anal, Haze said Team Tyler couldn’t afford her anal rate.

“It’s horrible that I said that,” exclaimed Haze. Sechrest went on to note that he was originally scheduled to shoot a straight movie for his company with Haze.

“When we start doing straight movies we will definitely do it,” he promised her. “But we decided that the market right now is so saturated in straight porn.” Haze agreed.

“There’s so much crap out there,” she said. “You have to sift through all of it to find the good stuff.” Sechrest brought up another scene involving Haze.

“We took her to a glory hole bathroom and we shot her in this bathroom with graffiti all over the place,” he continued. “She was in a school girl outfit looking like Britney Spears. She masturbated and it’s exclusively available on my website.” Haze said it was hot and she got off doing it.

“I won a masturbation award,” she reminded Sechrest. “It’s my favorite thing in the world besides sucking dick and taking it up my ass.” Sechrest said it was the first time that he actively directed a girl in a scene.

“I started saying really dirty shit to you,” he said. “The more degrading I was, the more you came in your panties. It was insane.” Asked what she recalled of the scene, Haze remembered the fact that Sechrest had her drive to some god awful place. Her words.

“I was in traffic forever and wearing this schoolgirl outfit,” she said. “I was on the street walking in this schoolgirl outfit and all these people in a gym across the street were staring at me. It was pretty bad but I got in there and it was fun.”

Sechrest played some of the clip describing how she looked like a schoolgirl in a bathroom at school.

“I would direct great straight porn,” Sechrest stated modestly, mentioning that it was an hour-long show available exclusively on his website. Besides that, Sechrest announced that there was two hours and thirty minutes of Hayes footage on his site, www.jasoncurious.com as well as 159 photos of her.

“Are you serious?” asked Hayes. “You got a deal!” Sechrest explained that because he was Hayes’ publicist for a length of time, he acquired that material.

It was noted that Haze is now doing guys again, the first time in four years. Sechrest brought up the fact that Haze had a boyfriend.

“A gorgeous ex-boyfriend,” Haze added. “He’s the hottest cameraman in the whole business.”

“He was drop dead gorgeous is what he was,” Sechrest chimed in. “He was like this surfer boy. He looks like maybe Hugh Jackman today. But a few years ago he looked like Hugh Jackman might have looked at 18. He is a surfer boy with literally one of the biggest dicks I’ve ever seen in my life. It was ridiculously big.”

“Oh dear, I don’t need to be in this conversation than,” moaned Haze. Sechrest reminded her that he didn’t actually see her ex-boyfriend’s dick but that Haze did a scene with him.

“We did do one before we broke up,” she said. “We did a double one with Barrett Blade and his wife- a double blowjob. Barrett’s wife is sucking him off and I’m sucking my ex off. We made up his porn name as Hugh Jackoff.” Sechrest said the other scene he was thinking of is a title Haze did called My Perfect 10’s Again.

“It’s a really hidden scene,” said Sechrest.

“That’s one of the things I got mad at JKP about,” said Haze. “It was supposed to be MY movie but they put it in one of Shyla’s movies who was married to the boss of the company. Great, I never got paid for it. My boyfriend not got paid for it at the time and we basically got screwed. It was supposed to be in my movie.” Nevertheless Haze said the scene was hot and they shot it at her house. Sechrest agreed about the scene being buried and as the JKP publicist spun it around to make it sound big.

“Find the hidden scene with Jenna Haze.” Except it didn’t work out that way and Haze said they fucked up on the DVD menu making it that much harder to find.

“That was common, though,” said Haze. “They messed up on Nikki Benz on one of her DVD’s. They put Kikki Benz and she was a contract girl. For godsake, c’mon.” Haze also said she and her ex were together for almost four years.”He was such a great guy that you didn’t have sex with any other guy on camera while you were with him,” Sechrest mentioned.

“Or any guy off camera,” Haze added. “I was madly in love with him. We got a dog together. We lived together. I did the grocery shopping and the bills- everything.” Sechrest asked what happened.

“He wouldn’t a ring on my finger after that long,” Haze replied bluntly. “And I had given up so much of my career and everything. We had already been playing house for two years. Come on. Either shit on the pot or get off. Put a ring on my finger or I need to follow my career. I’m already 24 years old.”

Haze also said that she’s been in the business for five years.

“I figure if he doesn’t know that he wants to marry me after four years when is he ever going to know?” said Haze. Sechrest asked if his issue was the fact that she was a porn star.

“He was married to a porn for seven years before,” she pointed out. Sechrest wondered who that was.

“That was Aja- she was starlet of the year in ’89,” Haze told him. “And I was starlet of the year in 2003. I think he felt that I had so much more life to live- he was also 13 years older than me. I feel like he didn’t want to hold me back. We talked about it. He felt like I had so much more living to do before I settled down into that, and he didn’t want to have me regret it later on and stuff. So we kind of just split up. It was very amicable. We’re still friends. I talked to him today.”

Haze also mentioned how the sex slowed down towards the end of her former relationship.

“We really became best friends that lived together,” she said. “He’s still one of my best friends now. We’re really getting all personal here.” After the relationship fell apart, Haze said she wanted to follow her career.

“He said that’s fine, I moved out and got my own place,” she continued.’ We lived about two months together before I actually moved out.” By following her career, Haze stated that she wanted to do guys again.

“I want to embrace them- I have so much more time I can do this,” she said. “I don’t want to be on camera at 35 going fuck I should have done it when I was younger. I need to do it now.”

“Welcome to Janine’s world,” answered Sechrest.

“If I don’t start doing it soon my fan base is going to shrink,” Haze reasoned. “People have been waiting for this so long that I figured I might as well come back with a bang.”

Haze just did a movie called Jenna Haze: Darkside for Jules Jordan.

“It says Jenna’s up to her old tricks again and that’s a loaded meaning right there,” read Sechrest from the boxcover. Haze explained how the project came about noting that Jordan shot her in one of her favorite movies a long time ago.

“Jules Jordan shot me back in the day with his Flesh Hunter series,” Haze said. As far as the new title, Haze said Jordan, who was with Evil Angel for six years, got his own company and just brought on Mike John to direct for him.

“This was the first release for the company so it was a big deal,” Haze commented. In Flesh Hunter, Haze said she did an anal scene with Jordan and then an airtight scene with three different guys.

“Then I did a b-g-g- with Aurora Snow and Jules,” she added. “That was way back in 2001. Me and Jules had a crush on each other from before. He asked me out, but then I met Matt. It just didn’t happen but we had always been friends and talked. So when I left JKP he called me right up and said we have to do this movie- I want you to be the next Darkside girl which Gina Lynn did before. I was, like, I don’t know. I might want to sign a contract with a big company before I do my first boy-girl. I felt around and went to all the major companies and everybody offered me stuff but I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted.

“The industry is totally different from when I was doing guys,” Haze went on to say. “I’m, like, I’m going to play around and work for some companies and make some really good guy-girl porn again and get my name back out there with my gonzo fans and everything. So I decided to do that and Jules said let’s do this as the first big thing. And that’s how it happened. But meanwhile we started dating.”

Haze also mentioned how she and Jordan started dating before the movie was made.

“We had talked about it and I was, I don’t know because we’re dating already and finally I agreed to do it.”

Having seen some of the footage of Hayes’ movie with Jules Jordan, Sechrest said it was pretty insane.

“I went from doing super-soft vanilla girl-girl stuff to doing the craziest stuff ever,” said Hayes. “But Jules makes his girls look, sexy, though. It’s not like one of those nasty Meatholes-things. It’s naughty but they still look gorgeous. He’s an amazing camera man, too. He shot that entire movie himself. That’s the reason why he’s not in there fucking me. He was so obsessed that he had to be anal about everything.”

Sechrest’s other guest for the evening, Christian Owen, commented that he had seen Haze at work and it was pretty hot. Owen, a gay performer, mentioned that he got fucked by a girl with a strap-on one time and it was alright. Haze revealed that she’s never done a scene like that.

“I’ve so never done that,” laughed Haze. “It makes me giggly to think about it. I stuck a finger in a guy’s ass.”

“Jules Jordan, no doubt,” Sechrest mused.

“No,” Hayes answered. “He’s not into that at all.” Haze said if she got paid a lot of money and the guy was really into it, she’d consider doing a strap-on scene.

“But I don’t know about that,” she considered. “I was around Jill Kelly and Tyler. They were always into that kind of stuff.” Sechrest recalled once asking Haze if she’d get turned on watching two guys getting it on.

“It’s not my thing,” Haze repeated. “I’m totally cool with that but it’s not my thing to watch.” On another note, Sechrest said he jacked off to Haze and her ex getting it on.

“Oh, I can’t say Matt,” Sechrest blushed. “He’s a cameraman. I won’t say his last name.”

Sechrest then announced that Jordan’s movie starring Haze is a two-disc four hour movie.

“This new one you supposedly fulfill all your dirtiest fantasies,” he pointed out.

“Some were mine and some of them were Jules’,” Haze added. According to Sechrest, Haze takes a massive facial. He asked Haze to describe what that was. Haze notes that in one scene she swallows five loads during a blow bang.

“A massive facial is when cum is all over a girl’s face,” Haze explained. “It’s running and it’s all over her eyelashes. It’s totally hot. And in the blow bang I did five guys, and each guy came in my mouth and I held it and waited for the next one until I had five loads in my mouth. Then I smiled and looked in the camera and swallowed it all.”

Sechrest said had he been there he would have kissed her on the mouth.

“Especially if they’re all straight,” he added. “That’s they only way I can get their cum is to take it from a girl’s mouth. “That’s so hot for some reason.”

In another scene, Haze describes how she gets dominated by Tory Lane.

“I like Tory Lane- she’s a lot of fun; she’s a little crazy but a lot of fun,” said Haze. “It’s actually my second favorite girl-girl scene I’ve ever done. My first favorite is the one I’ve just done with Belladonna.” According to Haze, they couldn’t put the scene in the movie because she stuck her fist in Belladonna’s pussy and ass at the same time.

“I fucked her like that- it was so ridiculously hot. They put it on their website; but they can’t put it on the DVD, it’s illegal.” Haze said she and Belladonna just kept going and fucked for three and a half hours that day.

“I love Bella,” Haze said. In another scene in the Jordan movie, Haze does a foot fetish anal scene in a shoe store in Hollywood with Kurt Lockwood.

“He fucks the hell out of my ass and it took me a week and a half to recover,” she said. “He was fucking the hell out of my ass. It was good. I like it in the ass. There’s a little bit of pain sometimes but I like it.” Asked if she liked Lockwood, Haze, not sounding too enthusiastic, said he was fun and it was the only time she’s worked with him.

“What was the squint and the shrug for?” Sechrest asked her.

“He’s just not my type of guy,” Haze answered. “My type of guy is Scott Nails and I like Julian and Tommy Gunn.” Pressed on the issue, Haze said she liked Lockwood, too, that it was a good scene, but…

“He’s just not in my top five guys.”

“But why?” Sechrest asked.

“Partially because he’s Tyler’s ex,” Haze replied, noting that she was friends with Lockwood’s current girlfriend Samantha Ryan.

“I don’t like this topic at all,” added Haze when Sechrest continued to press the issue.

“It’s just like about the whole history there,” Sechrest assumed.

“A little bit,” said Haze. That being said, Sechrest couldn’t see why Lockwood would be different from those other guys.

“Even with the whole ass-thing he’s got going on,” Sechrest continued. “Look at Julian.” On the subject of Julian, Haze said she worked with him before she had heard anything about him. Haze then admitted the thought of Lockwood getting fucked in the ass entered her mind a bit.

“It doesn’t bother me- it just makes me uneasy a bit because I haven’t experienced that kind of thing,” she stated. “It’s an area I’m kind of naive to and it kind of makes me giggly.” Turning psychologist, Sechrest suspected that it also made Haze insecure because they enjoyed activity she wasn’t privy to. Also in the movie, Haze does her first ever interracial.

“I hadn’t even done that off camera before,” she revealed. “It was really good, though. I’m probably going to do it again but the guys I want to work with are kind of exclusive to the companies they shoot for. So I’m probably not going to work with them.” Sechrest asked for a forinstance.

Haze avoided the question and said Jordan likes it and that she’ll be doing most of her interracial for him.

“And I like it too- I like him watching me fuck on camera,” she added. In another scene in the movie, Haze again plays a school girl confessing her sins to a priest who fucks her. Sechrest didn’t know who the guy was and Haze explained it was some guy named Mario who works a lot for Jordan.

“We didn’t want to get somebody who everyone’s seen before in 20 million porno films,” Haze explained. “We wanted somebody who could play the role and could actually live in the fantasy.” Haze also noted that this was her breakout boy-girl scene.

“This is the first time I had a cock in me on camera in four years,” she stated. Haze said they had to keep stopping the scene because of how tight she was.

“It was really creepy for me.” In the course of conversation, Haze also revealed that she worked with Julian just recently for Suze Randall.

“It was a shoot and a video- it was really hot,” she said. In the Jordan movie, Haze also works with Scott Nails.

“He’s kind of cocky- I like that,” said Haze. “I like confidence in guys.” Sechrest thought Nails also had hot hair.

“He’s just hot-period,” Haze was inclined to say. “He’s got the biggest cock. I love it. I love it when it hurts. I’m horrible. I also like choking and being slapped a little bit.”

The chatroom consensus was that Haze should take her clothes off with Sechrest remarking that he was glad she hadn’t got her tits done. Haze said she was thinking about it, and Sechrest pleaded for her not to. Haze also revealed that one fan of hers has already watched her new movie twenty times since it came out. Haze said she talks to the guy online as well as a lot of her fans.

“I go on Yahoo messenger and talk to people if they ask me questions.”

Now that she’s dating Jordan, Sechrest wondered if he was just as crazy off camera.

“I don’t know,” said Haze. “I haven’t gotten to work with him forever. It’s been years and I don’t watch him fucking other girls. I got so used to being in a relationship so that’s a little hard for me right now getting used to him being with girls. It’s a work in progress. But he’s more intimate off camera. He tells me all the time that what we have off camera is different than what’s on-camera. We have a great sex life. He just fucked the hell out of me last night.”

“Did he stick it in your ass?” asked Sechrest.

“No but I stuck my fingers in my ass while he was fucking me, and that was hot,” Haze replied. “I like to feel him stroke his cock from the inside.” Changing subject rapidly, Haze pointed out that she also does her third d.p. in the movie.

“I do everything- I hope it wins some nominations.” Sechrest got on the subject of dating other talent and Haze said she was with Monique Alexander for awhile.

“And I’ve got a new girlfriend,” Haze added. “I just met her at my release party last week.” Haze said they were supposed to have sushi together and revealed that it was new girl in the business, Layla Starr.

“She’s like five-foot and 85-pounds,” said Haze who admitted that she was totally bisexual.

“Does Jules care that you’re going on a dinner date?” Sechrest asked.

“He’s not threatened by women,” Haze answered. “He knows that whatever I do with a woman is not going to be what he does for me or what we have. But Jules used to tell me that Julian was threatened by women- like when Jill tried to date women- he’d be all threatened by it and wouldn’t be able to deal with it.”

“Julian’s got so much heart,” Sechrest chimed in. “Julian is so fucking sweet especially back then he was so much insecure. When Julian was dating Jill it was a completely different Julian and I think that he probably felt insecure by anyone saying hi. But that’s what makes Julian so attractive to me.”

“He’s got such a great big fucking cock, I just love it,” added Haze. “When we did the scene the other day we got 25 minutes of a blowjob because I just couldn’t keep my mouth off his dick.” Sechrest laughed because Haze’s comments sounded like they were coming out of the mouth of a gay guy.

“I’m a cock-hungry little whore,” Haze laughed, saying that Sechrest was becoming over analytical.

“It’s just like the Tyra Banks Show I saw the other day,” she added. “They were talking about how this one chick was a gay man stuck in a lesbian’s body. It was some crazy shit.” A discussion in the chatroom developed about Haze possibly working with Mandingo.

“That’s actually one of the guys I want to work with if I do interracial again,” Haze mentioned. “But he only shoots for himself. I’d like to work with him, once. I’m so tiny and his dick is so big.”

Sechrest continually obsessed on her ass but told Haze he’d fuck her pussy as well provided another guy was taking up space in it. Haze said she’d never do a double-vag.

“My pussy is that big, there’s no way that two cocks are going to fit in my pussy or my ass,” she laughed. “The most I can do is d.p.s”

Sechrest wanted to veer the subject to Madonna, and Haze said Jordan was buying her concert tickets.

“He’ll just buy you whatever you want pretty much.” Sechrest assumed. Haze said that wasn’t the case.

“Maybe this one will actually buy you a ring,” said Sechrest.

“I hope so,” Haze replied.

“Would you want to marry Jules?” he asked.

“We’ve only been together for seven months,” Haze answered.

“But you’ve know him for years,” Sechrest said.

“If the situation’s right,” said Haze. “I think it’s awesome that I get to do my career at the same time. And I just want to be the king and queen of porn- be a power couple in this business, why not?”

Sechrest recalled a conversation he had with Haze four years ago.

“You said I don’t want to do this shit forever- what the fuck are you talking about? You said I don’t want to be Jenna Jameson. I do not want to do this. And I looked at you and I said you’re out of your fucking mind. You hadn’t even won best New Starlet yet and I told you you have the potential to win best News Starlet and you haver the potential to go on and become the next Jenna Jameson. And you need to devote yourself to your career.”

“I’m there, now,” Haze replied.

“But you looked at me, like, no- you’re ridiculous,” Sechrest continued. “I will never do that. But, I’m sorry. You’re wrong.” Haze explained that she was in love when she said that.

“You were right- I give you that,” Haze told him. “What do you want?”

“I want your pussy with a guy at the same time,” Sechrest told her. “That’s what I want in return.”

“You’ll have to ask Jules’ permission,” Haze answered.

“I want Jules to fuck you and I want to suck on your clit and lick his dick while you’re fucking,” Sechrest suggsted.

“He’s very not into guys,” Haze protested. “He’s NOT! Matt wasn’t either.”

“Every guy’s into guys,” Sechrest argued. “Every girl is into girls.” Haze said she didn’t believe that cockeyed logic for a moment.

“Everybody has thought about it,” Sechrest continued to argue. “When you’re born and brought into this world you’re a completely blank plate. You’re totally empty. If you were born and saw nothing but women holding hands with women on the street and men holding hands with men and you were told that that’s right and that’s the way it is, that’s what you’d believe.

“Everybody’s born bisexual,” Sechrest concluded

Haze said she needed to smoke another bowl with that comment.

“I don’t want to talk about this,” Haze laughed nervously.

Asked why she didn’t like gay people, Haze said her publicist was gay. That being said, Sechrest was curious who her current publicist was.

“Scott Hoover,” she answered.

“I didn’t know Scott Hoover was gay,” said Sechrest.

“Well, he’s a little,” Haze replied, laughing nervously. “He’s not gay but he says he’s tri-sexual that he’ll try anything. But I think he likes guys more than he likes girls.”

Sechrest accused Haze of being a hypocrite on certain issues.

“You can’t make me cry,” Haze laughed. “I’m just not into guys-with-guys. I’m just not.”

Sechrest said that may be so, but Haze being an admitted bisexual can’t carry a double-standard.

“There’s a lot of double-standards in the world and it doesn’t matter,” Haze replied.

“I just think you’re so used to smoking your way into happiness that when faced with reality it’s not something you want to see,” Sechrest told her.

“You’re telling me that my boyfriend has this tendency to want guys no matter what, just because” Haze answered.

“That’s not what we’re saying,” said Sechrest. “But you see it that way.”

“You guys are confusing me now!” said Haze who claimed she was being taken out of context.
