Racism on Set

[jaydogbones]

A place to discuss examples of Racism, Ageism, Religious intolerance or even Classism on PORN sets

One famous racist incident took place on a Ginger Lynn video called Undressed Rehearsal (1984).

This was to be Ginger Lynn's first ever interracial scene which had her paired up with African-American stud Tony El-Ay. They had to pay her big time to go black and she freaked out multiple times during the scene and when it was finally over she ran out and jumped into the pool as she was so disgusted with what she had just done.
This just shows how fringe mainstream interracial porn was back in the day. Ginger must've got over this as many years later she appeared in numerous IR Scenes for D0gfart and others.

Does anyone else remember the story about an incident on the set
of West Coast Productions' There's Something About Jack 2 (1999)?

The last scene starring sexy young Spanish teen Carmen Vera and her husband Olivier Sanchez with Jack Napier and Mandingo. Everything was going smoothly, that is until Jack discovered Carmen spoke no English, well joker Jack born in Puerto Rico and fluent in Spanish tried conversing with her during the scene, causing her to freak out and demand he leave the set.
Apparently his lowly peasant version of Spanish was an affront to her high born Castilian ears, bringing home to her the fact, not that she was having sex with negros, but that she was having lowly degrading peasant sex with an inferior to her own class. Her husband freaked out on her as he apologized to Jack and the Director for his wife's disrespectful outburst. The scene resumed with only Carmen, her hubby and Mandingo whom she had no problem fucking despite his being black and because he couldn't or wouldn't speak Spanish to her.
Poor Jack though left with a pair of big blue balls.

Another infamous scene was a D0gfart shoot for BlacksOnBlondes where director Billy Watson made beautiful statuesque sweety Holly Michaels throw the N-word around like she was at a KKK Rally.

Her onscreen partner, Moe the Monster Johnson who being new to the jizz bizz had no choice but to take it.
A few years later old Whipper Billy Watson pulled the same shit this time utilizing Ryan Connor to fling the racist slurs

at the now veteran Moe who freaked out and rightly so eventually taking Billy and DF to court over the matter.
Funny how both scenes are no longer available on the D0gfart network anymore and furthermore longtime director Billy Watson is no longer with them as well.

I have the DVD version of this release but do not remember seeing any of this in the scene. If there a link to where one could find this or has it been left on the cutting room floor?

Yeah Sasha Grey did the same thing in her scene on D0gfart too.

Dangerous thread.

Can't really blame the female performers for the bullshit going on in the d0gfart scenes, if it was instigated by the director.

Unfortunately on the DVD I have, the only bonus material (aside from a photo gallery, previews for a few other "There's Something About Jack" titles - which also includes a shortened Leilani cut at the end) is some text supposedly written by Jack where he just writes a one line blurb about each of the scenes on the flick.

I just double checked right now and there is no bonus footage from the flick itself.

Anyway it's "interesting" to read about this, as I always thought Carmen was perhaps quite "laxed" on set, in terms of being mostly comfortable with her on-screen partners.

I mean we all heard "stories" about porn performers sometimes having hissy fits on set (Sativa Rose comes to mind as a "regular" who wasn't always very co-operative on set), but for some reason Carmen never gave me that "vibe"... and I have dozens (100?) of her titles on DVD which includes bonus behind the scenes material.

Agree, that is why I also found it such strange behavior. I wish I could recall where I learned/saw this event transpire ...possibly it was on VHS
But it always stuck with me because it was so out of character for her.
