He doesn't know that John never spends (either cash or on credit cards) a cent that he doesn't pay off 100% when the monthly statements arrive. Whether or not he spends money on vacations or a car or a dance show doesn't make one bit of difference if it's money above and beyond what's saved in his money accounts.
Unlike many people in porn who buy expensive things or lease a couple of expensive cars that they really can't afford, John has always been "eccentric" in that he doesn't care about materialistic goods just for the sake of brand names.
Skeeter also doesn't know about me or who I've been for the past 12 years. I did indeed work for Jim Powers, and with the exception of one scene where the guy was completely lame and had to be replaced, I enjoyed working for Jim. Beyond that, porn for me was about trying to having a career - whether temporary or long-term - and I wouldn't have stuck at a career where I had to struggle to pay bills.
I did indeed have a rough month or two when I had a break-up with an ex [Rob Black] and he destroyed all of my belongings. I moved on and spent the majority of my money on re-purchasing everything that was taken from me - personal computer, furniture, EVERYTHING. Within two months I was completely back on track and choosing to work as little as 3 three scenes a month BY CHOICE. The rest of the time I was on the road because stripping is how I got into this business.
I don't know where Skeeter gets this hatred for John or me. We've never said a bad thing about him or Bridgette, even at times when a lot of the business was calling Skeeter a suitcase pimp. Those words never once left my lips. If Skeeter chooses to hate me, I know that won't affect me one way or the other. I just know that people that I do care about also read this site, and I wanted to give the other side of the story.
Oh - and I do have to say that reading that people are afraid of me is maybe the funniest thing I've read this month. If people had any idea how timid I actually am, they'd be laughing as hard as I am right now. I wish I could be a vindictive person, because there sure are a lot of people who've attempted to fuck me over. Instead, I move forward and let karma handle those people.
Wait - no... that part was the second funniest thing. The funniest is that Skeeter stated a 'fact' that can be proven wrong. In my entire time of living in the Valley, I lived in a total of 3 addresses... 1 at my home in West Hills, 1 in a house I shared with Rob at Bell Canyon, and 1 at an apartment after that in Warner Center. If I were Skeeter, I'd be putting my name to facts that are actually true.
