\u201cYou worked behind the scenes of adult video? That must\u2019ve been so much fun!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d usually hear something like that whenever someone found out I edited porn and used to work on set. What they don\u2019t see are the headaches and diva attitudes I had to deal with just to make ends meet. Here are a few:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 2006, we shot Nadia Styles (pictured). She showed up to set, feeling under the weather, the moment I opened the front door, barked, \u201cYou have to go get me soup.\u201d Not a \u201cHey, good to see you\u2014my name is Nadia Styles,\u201d or even, \u201cI was wondering if you could help me out.\u201d Nope. Just an order. I was immediately annoyed. We\u2019d already had an uncomfortable encounter before, where her people skills really shone. I don\u2019t think I ever got her that soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or the time James Deen snapped at me because I couldn\u2019t read his lips when he asked for a towel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or the time Joachim Kessef wanted to fight me because I told Chico Wang that Joachim\u2019s shooting style was different\u2014not better, not worse. He completely flipped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or the time some forgettable bimbo got upset because she thought I had \u201cgotten too close\u201d to her. That was a first. I honestly don\u2019t remember her name; she was in and out of the business pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or the time Jada Fire, seeing me arrive to assist on her shoot, looked me up and down and said, \u201cEww. You\u2019re not in the scene, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That one really hurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
