Porn Valley- An irate Max Hardcore calls me Tuesday afternoon wondering why I printed comments made by a producer on PornStarPerformance.com.

Hardcore is saying the comments made by the producer about Jenna James were irresponsible, inferring that I was irresponsible for printing them.

On PSP, someone identifying themselves as Benherover said James changed her name to Morgan Star to avoid the Skeeter Kerkove controversy and then linked to three AdultFYI stories explaining what that was.

I asked Max if it was true or not if James had changed her name.

“That’s irrelevant,” he told me. And I told Max he should be having this conversation with the proprietors of PornStar Performance. According to Max, Benhover admits he doesn’t know James, but I don’t see that anywhere in the post, and I tell Max attributing another story is no different than the Washington Post quoting the New York Times.

Max is also fuming that Benhover voices the opinion that hiring James should be avoided at all costs.

Hardcore has contended all along that Skeeter Kerkove’s been waging a smear campaign both against him and James and that Kerkove’s stories about James allegedly acting up on a set of his, have no validity or foundation. Meanwhile Skeeter claims he has BTS footage to substantiate everything he’s saying about a shoot that occured this past May at his house. Skeeter claims Max put James up to hide drugs in order to frame him and, thus, cut a deal with the Feds.
