Proving that no good deed goes unpunished, I find it almost amusing that this Karen Stephens woman would contact me about getting her money, which is not my business to begin with, but hers- then resorts to buffoonery of the garden variety.

To wit, Stephens writes on www.xxxporntalk.com :

Hello everyone this is Karen Stephens, Owner of Florida 1st Models. I had a phone discussion today with Gene Ross of AdultFYI.com hoping to get some assistance in getting my models paid for shoots done for Craig Valentine. The result was an insulting article on AdultFYI written by Gene. Well I see that Gene is one sided individual and seeing that he did not ask to speak to any of the models in question then I have decided to write this. Nor has Gene asked to speak to any of my models that he has wrote about in prior articles from Craig’s point of view. Also because I see that it is fruitless to call Gene – which I have and he now isn’t returning my calls. I always believed that a true journalist sought out all sides to a story…hmmm must have been incorrect.

The facts are these on Wednesday May 7th Craig hired one of my models for a small scene. As of today June 18, 2008 that model has yet to be paid for the scene. Craig neither returns her calls in order to get payment from him. Nor will he return my calls, emails, or pages. Why is this?

Then on Friday May 16th, Saturday May 17th three of my models had shoots scheduled with Valentine. Two performing in hardcore scenes and the other one was an extra. And again another model had a hardcore scene on Friday the 23rd again 2 models performed in scenes for Valentine. Each one of these models was told that these were payroll of 2 weeks. I was there when he said this. Now Craig can call me a liar and maybe one model a liar…but we are talking about four models and me. We all have pour memories or are hard if hearing I think not. Oh and none of these girls have been paid a dime from Craig Valentine.

Craig did come to me about one of the models having a possible medical problem, and it was addressed as it should have been. He also told me his side of the story regarding one of my models bringing coke to a set. I addressed this with that model and she told me her side of the story. Which was that he was harassing her to perform sexually for him personally even though she was there as an extra and not performing that day because her test was not back in time. She turned him down flat, and could this be the real reason that Craig is crying to anyone that will listen…and that is not many people that she was licking coke off the floor of the bathroom. The only person listening is his buddy Gene. When Craig said to another model via a text (which I have a copy) that his wrestlers were offended by her actions – he was asked for their names and numbers so that she could apologize to them. We haven’t seen those of yet…could it be that you made it up?

The same models that performed in these scenes went to his wrestling event on May 18th to be extras or what ever. I was there as well. Craig had no idea what any of the models were going to do, and was making it up as he went. The model in question about her hair showed up in the same outfit as she was in during the shoot, and even fashioned her hair the same way. This actually was the second time that I have attended one of Craig’s so called wrestling events and there was no audience to speak of at either, and scripts and production was being made up as they went along. I am pretty sure that this isn’t how the production is supposed to be conducted.

Craig from the beginning was telling my models stories of how he is soooooo famous, and that he is the only one that can make them big stars. He started calling me telling me to call off the one model about the coke incident that she needed to stop spouting off her mouth or he would make sure that she never worked in this industry again. This model was neither spouting off to anyone nor saying anything about Craig. The only person that keeps bringing up this story is Valentine.

Craig never said a word to me about the model’s hair until a good two weeks after the event that Craig called me to book one of the models for a scene on June 6th that he stated the her hair was different he swore up and down that she had cut a good 3 – 4 inches off of her hair. I didn’t think that she had but called the model to reschedule the photo shoot with Craig. He even said that he could show me the footage in question but has yet to do so. She has not done the shoot as of yet because Craig has been traveling, and the one time only one time that he called to book this she had a prior appointment and could not make the shoot.

As for me “crying to everyone” that Steve Steidmen of Risque Business is doing better then me. Gene you stated today on the phone that Steve had told you not two weeks ago that he was getting out of the agency buisness. Here are the facts.

I met with Steve on evening of May 7th, per a suggestion from Craig to hear him out. Steve stated to me that he was having problems getting his girls shoots here in Florida. I said that I would help out if I could and send his girls out to the companies here. Steve then sent me 3 girls – one that was half way decent and got some responses when I sent her out. She then flaked and didn’t’ come in. I managed to get one of the other girls a small shoot in which the producer did not have favorable feedback on her performance. And she was turned down by every other production company here. The third girl had so many tattoos that I would not put her pictures out at all. That was all that Steve brought to the table.

Steve tried to paint me a grand picture of what he could do for my models, how he was sitting on five major contracts from major production companies in Los Angeles. I decided to see if what he was telling me was the truth. I do have contacts in Los Angeles as well and made a few phone calls and checked him out. After the Memorial Day weekend I called Steve and told him that I had made a business decision that I felt was best for my models, in which I would not be sending my models out to LA through him. Knowing that Steve was good friends with Craig Valentine, I made a courtesy call to Craig and told him the same thing.

That is when all the problems started. From the time I told Steve and Craig my decision to not go through Steve for LA my models have been harassed via text messages from Craig. He has told them story after story of why they have not received a check. He has also called me a liar and a theif to my models.

Craig started texting one of my models wanting to take her out to dinner, and how he was not sure about how to go about asking her because he was just getting out of his marriage. The model sent me the text messages and I told her that these messages were nearly word for word of messages he was sending to a model back in December. Do you have these messages scripted somewhere I wonder?

Another model has received messages regarding her career and that she should get another agent. Craig dear…loyality is a bitch sometimes. I have the messages that you are sending to my models.

As for any contract negotiations that I am in for one or any of my models for that matter it isn’t any of Craig’s business so please stop asking. You are not her manager – I am.

As for me “kicking” one of my models to the curb? Seriously? I have not asked any model to leave my home, and I would like to see Craig prove it.

As for any personal insults to me; Craig have you looked in a mirror lately? All I want is to get my models paid. Oh and FYI – Other than not paying my models you are over 30 days past due on your invoices to me as well. Please rectify these situations ASAP.”

My crony Craig Valentine calls me from New Jersey to give me a heads up about this posting.

“Welcome to my world!” Valentine is laughing.

“At least you see the fucking shit I have to deal with,” he adds.

“How would I know?” I ask him. “You’re dealing with someone who according to Stephens is not a true journalist and incompetent to understand. I hope you realize this.”

Valentine says this is the reason why he’s doing all his productions in LA from now on, so he doesn’t have to deal with the Stephens of the world. Valentine finds the part where Stephens describes him chasing one of her girls around to take her to dinner most inventive.

“It’s amazing- every time in LA when I’m springing for dinner nine porn stars show up,” states Valentine. “Including Ron, Evan, Tommy and whoever we pick up along the way. I do have the reputation for the porn star dinner call and everyone showing up. Like I was ringing the cowbell. But they’re all scared of you because you bring the tape recorder.”

“All true journalists have one,” I inform Valentine.

Valentine says he’s got eye witnesses and had to throw chicks out of his hotel room from his last trip to Vegas.

“And you should see some of the pictures of her girls- the ones who have the yeast infections,” Valentine chuckles. “And the crap is just pouring out of their crotch. Especially this girl Missy. And Karen’s going, yeah, but I sent her to the doctor. How can you not tell your pussy don’t stink?

“And if you go to her website for the current status of her girls HIV tests? Every one is expired ten days ago.”

Valentine also points out that the way the system works in Florida he’s not allowed to see any of these tests unless Stephens prints them out and brings them to him.

“What do you have to hide?” Valentine wonders. “Nikki had Chlamydia. So did Vanessa. It seems like this happens to every girl, and Brian had the same problem when Karen was there. All the girls were testing positive for Chlamydia- Chrissy, Cody, Autumn Sky, every single girl. What are they doing that nobody knows about? They must be banging somebody. And Brian hasn’t had an outbreak of chlamydia in his camp since Karen left.”

“And she’s saying Craig goes around telling everyone he’s a super star,” Valentine points out. “You know me long enough. I may talk about my accomplishments but I never tell anyone I’m a star. I take great pride in pushing the stars that work for me.”

According to Valentine, Stephens makes her girls hang out with Dave Pounder.

“All the girls are instructed to hang out with him because he’s the star,” continues Valentine.

According to what I’ve heard, Pounder lives in a one bedroom with a kayak in the middle of the living room. He does a $300 shoot on the provision that the girls spend the night with him. It’s supposed to be a “content” shoot but cameras rarely roll.

Asked if this is true, Valentine says it must be because that would explain why girls don’t want to hang out with him because he’s not paying $300 under those conditions.

“Last time I checked I get more pussy than I know what to do with,” says Valentine. “Why do I need to pay for someone? I get paid to get laid. I’m believing more and more what I heard in Vegas- that the girls coming in our business now are all hookers.”

“And maybe someone should tell these girls the truth like their pussies stink.”

Valentine says there’s another new post about one of Stephens’ girls having herpes.

“The only good thing about Eli, who was a piece of shit, is that his girls were clean when they showed up on set.”

Valentine also says that the wrestling event where Stephens claims there was no audience to speak of, had 300 people in attendance.

“The club had 100,000 sq. ft so attendance wouldn’t make a dent in the place,” he explains. “It’s a big place but I got the door money from the club.”
