“If Chuck [Zane] walked in that door, Iād punch him in the mouth. Heās the biggest piece of garbage in the world because he fucks family. That’s the worst.”
That was Rob Black saying that about his uncle Chuck back in 1998.
“Chuck Zane, around 1996, bounced $10,000 worth of checks on me and laughed at me.”
That was director John T. Bone, who worked for “uncle Chuck,” saying that.
Things haven’t changed much in 15 years, and Rob Black took to the airwaves Tuesday afternoon to talk about how his Uncle Chuck stole $8,000 from him while he was doing time in La Tuna federal prison on an obscenity rap.
For those not up on their porn history, Chuck Zane holds the adult industry record for bankrupting his company on three different occasions and it was no secret he stole money from his brother Dominic [Rob’s father] while they owned Zane Brothers.
Whichever way the screws turn in the Zicari family drama, Rob Black said her’s been punished enough and asked me publicly to lift the “ooga booga” from him.
I want to make this perfectly clear. I specialize in the booga booga; but the ooga booga is the province of old Italian ladies in black veils and African tribal medicine men. Nonetheless I’ll give it a shot.
On his show Black explained that if you did porn deals in Europe there was a royalty system locked into place. Not every producer knew about this. Just the smart ones.
āAny time your product was shown in any type of venue, you got a royalty,ā Black explained.
āI registered through my uncle. The art people had to make special covers for the product.” Twice a year Black would get checks for 4 grand, 8 grand.
āItās a little secret that people donāt know about. My uncle Chuck would handle it and he would disperse it [the money] to me, and he did this with one or two other producers. That started back in maybe 2007. So in six years we had a huge European deal with Scala.
āThey were taking tons of product from us. Every six months this money would come in. Then all of a sudden when I went to prison I guess that money decided to stop; and at the end of the day, as my radio show starts- this is for all of you out there who despise me and hope I die- I guess this was my payback for making Mark Spiegler wait in the lobby.
āThis is your big laugh, the best part. Rob Black lost everything he owned. He lives in an office above a strip club. I got no money. I have websites that draw tons of traffic and basically I sit here with the help of an anonymous lady who helps me with web codes.
āHereās your big comedy element. I have nothing. Would it make you guys happy to know while I sat in prison this family member stole my money? Thousands. Itās $8,000 that he admitted to. Are we all good now? If my life couldnāt get any shittier, my uncleās son Matt [Zane] who thinks heās cool, tells people I owe him $1400.
āHowās that for throwing salt in the wounds? How about the fact that my wife did promotion for his piece of shit band free of charge. I live in a box because my own family steals my money. I owe you money- you want my jeans? How about sitting in federal prison with nothing and getting out with nothing, and the years go by, nothing.
āBut, oh, you have a radio show and are talking about workersā rights. My own family member- my fatherās brother- while I sat in prison got the royalty money every six months and used that to have a good time to live, to spend to do who knows what.
āFrom the year before I went to prison to three months ago when he [Chuck Zane] confessed that he stole my money- this man robbed over $8,000 from me, and he goes āitās some kind of mixed up thing. Iām going to send you $1,000.ā
āHe sends me $2,000 and that he will give me 2,000 grand every year until heās paid up. This is a 60 year old man with successful grown sons; his son in Rochester makes a million a year, but this man is crying that heās going to eat dog food unless he robs from his own flesh and blood. My fatherās brother while I sat in prison stole over $8,000, and I get a big nothing. Thatās the end of the story.
āImagine if I had six grand right now. That would be a game changer. Have I been punished enough? To think that people in this business are trying to hurt other peoplesā careers based on a fact they donāt like a certain agenda. In turn theyāre going to spread lies.
āTalk about a guy like Christian- This is a guy Tom Byron fought for. Half the people still hate the guy. Tom Byron used him in movies. Lizzy Borden shot him too. This is somebody I shot a year and a half ago when Tom Byron was still working for Frank Koretsky.
āDerek Hay would call Tom Byron and pull girls out of scenes because Derek and Christian were having a loversā quarrel. Now you got Christian fighting against change. And OC Modeling- these are people that are upset- Iām not sure over what- one of their lesser talent was given a banner for free. Phoenix Askani was a mark girl and I thought it was cool if she got showcased.
āBut other girls, are going hey bitch, and so we took her banner down because she was getting heat. I figure throw up a Mackenzee Pierce banner because she reads AdultFYI every day. If it helps out this girl thatās all that matters. Iām trying to empower the talent.
āI guess OC Modeling doesnāt work in the adult business any more. I guess they do but Iām a bad apple. I figure telling you how I got robbed from my own flesh and blood, Iāve been officially punished enough and can now be forgiven. This is me purging my soul and Iāve taken the ultimate act of betrayal. And my uncle mocks me. Itās a joke. My family sits in Rochester and mock me.
āMike South and these people hate me so much with no interaction and because of that interaction they are going to punish every performer. Mike South is going to punish the entire business, but heās telling you LATATA should do what Iāve been telling you [on health insurance] with Charity Bangs.
“Are you guys out of your minds? Mike South sits there and talks about nothing but Manwin and LATATA. He is this total shill and you guys donāt listen to me and think Iām full of shit.
āYou have an industry punish Phoenix Askani www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=59586 because she was put on a website that everyone was talking about and telling her we wonāt let you watch our dogs any more.
[Askani baby sits dogs of other porn performers]. And now sheās been replaced by Mackenzee Pierce.
āDonāt punish the talent for my sins. Youāre punishing talent that wasnāt born while I was slapping you and making you feel like a hurt little bitch and an inferior human being.
“Now youāve carried that over for 13 years so you can punish the talent. The talent has been punished enough in this business- the fact that theyāre working 50 man cream pies during the height of Hepatitis. Alex Gonz is gone. Donāt punish the talent for Rob Blackās sins. My uncle Charles Zicari already did that.ā
