It is my view that there are some things that should remain on set and not be shared with the World outside, everyone is entitled to private moments and for JM to publish it not only to the Internet but on the DVD release of the title too in a bid to publicly humiliate and effect the career of Tanner Mayes demonstrates a very powerful reason why every performer should refuse to work for them!

Given that adult performers and models are largely unprotected and many producers still regard the girls as little more than ‘whores’ or prostitutes this kind of incident only demonstrates why a global, or at least national, unions for adult performers and sex workers is required.

Companies like JM and the deplorable conduct with which they have acted is detrimental to the wider industry, it is damaging and only provides further ammunition to those that want to shut it down once and for all. These kind of blow-ups scare me for that very reason, it presents a negative image and confirm those negative stereotypes people are working tirelessly and incredibly hard to abolish.

When I’m shooting, as I’m sure is the case with other reputable producers, the model(s) on set receives my full attention, assistance and if required guidance. I’d hate for every shoot to feel like a ‘flesh sale’ and I would aim for the model to leave my set feeling as she did if not a little better when she arrived – I would not want them leaving feeling dirty or abused.

What shocks me here is I’m a one-man operation at the moment, these guys have a full crew and not one of them offered assistance to Tanner or even tried to calm her down and generally appease her.
