  • Alex Coal Calls Out Wankzvr Director

argyle43 cool. Was just kinda confused by you saying, on the one hand, you don’t watch any of their scenes beyond the first minute and then, on the other hand, saying their scenes all suck. I get it a bit more now. Never meant to imply you aren’t entitled to your own opinion and I’m not some big Wankzvr defender either. I think they make lots of fairly average stuff but they are usually technically pretty good imo and nowhere near as formulaic as Badoinkvr.

They have a sort of happy medium for me in that the scenes look technically much better than SLRO (imo) and they shoot more anal content (who doesn’t?). SLRO probably has the better immersion and storylines though. The casting and look is probably not quite on the level of Badoink but they are nowhere near as formulaic and boring in terms of execution. They are kind of in the middle of Badoink and SLRO for me and that kind of suits me in that I get a pretty good looking scene with a pretty ok story rather than a really good story with bad visuals (SLRO) or really good visuals with a boring scene (Badoink).

It all depends what you’re looking for in a scene I suppose.

    This is so incredibly fucked up. Wankz isn't getting another dime of my money, nor will I ever collaborate with them, until they clean house.

    How can someone literally land most people's dream job and treat their coworkers like that??? Absolutely inexcusable.

    So I’ve read some hints from posts on this as well the Wankz forum along the lines, why should we believe Alex, or that her written statement contains alleged statements. I totally believe her, and this much can be verified:

    So, one part of her written statement that really creeped me out was she said the male talent was sent out of the room for the pussy closeup, and it was Jimmy who took over and had his hands all over her. Totally checks out. In the very opener stuntcock brings a blunt up to the camera a few times and you can see he has small slender hands with a little tatt on one of the left hand fingers. Later inside you can see it’s Jimmys fat hands and gross fingernails, and the expression on Alex’s face flashes signs of misgivings even though it’s clear she’s doing her very best to stay professional.

    What a little scumbag. Makes you wonder how regularly he took advantage of those situations. I mean yes, the guy who does the perVRt content is equally gross, but he’s never really hidden that he established his studio to dip his own wick, he probably pays those models very, very well for the privilege to do so, and the girls have consented to whatever he produces ahead of time. Jimmy is a hired hand, and there are clear lines between talent and crew that are just not to be crossed. Very big difference. How many other girls are going to come forward with similar stories we’ve not yet heard I wonder?

    I also think a lot of what was happening in those heady years between 2017 and end of 2019 was Jimmy and the crew were smoking a lot of weed and working at the same time. I’m positive that added in a lot of ways to the creativity of what was being produced, but very much (in their case) at the cost of professionalism on set. Aidra has mentioned many times that Jimmy was on her no list. Elena K. same thing. I remember now she played a small role at the very end of the 2017 Xmas special where she’s dressed up like a Victoria Secret Angel. It should be the highlight of the scene because she looks incredible, but I could never get off from it because she seems very upset and unhappy throughout the short segment. Makes a whole lot more sense now, and Jimmy was so very handsy in that scene. Blech 🤢

    Finishing the thought, I’m pretty sure the new manager that took over from Phil put a stop to smoking and drinking on set. The scenes now are a lot more standardized, no more 60, 80, 120 minute creative standouts. Everything is roughly 45-48m, follows a pretty generic set of positions, and it just seems like all the fun has been removed. It’s a shame they weren’t able to strike a balance between creative license and on set professionalism. Happily SLR has filled that gap for me. Great casting, fantastic premises, and for my money well above average technical execution most of the time.

      argyle43 I'm mostly with you, but I've worked with a lot of creatives who smoke weed on the job (myself included), and none of them have ever committed assault.

      Sometimes a bad person is just a bad person.

          Mutiny oh I’m not playing prude. Just pointing out I think that’s what was often going wrong with that crew.

              argyle43 I hear you. I took your broader point to mean it seemed to be a set without rules or standards, which...clearly. Just want to make sure weed isn't the easy culprit for the much tougher conversation we need to have about dealing with toxic people (and our responsibility to protect others - especially, in this case, sex workers - from them).

                  All i can tell you production is hell of a job. You deal with all sorts of people in very sensitive environment. Everything can go wrong in a split of a second. I'm very proud of our producers being stand up and doing things nothing but professional ✊️
                  If what reported is true it is really low of that producer and the company giving it a way.

                    Mutiny I enjoy my weed too, especially when watching your content. My broader point was the need to strike balance between whatever maximizes creativity and fun, while maintaining safety, respect, and overall professionalism. It is obvious in so many scenes that this balance got lost in the non-stop partying those scenes often were. Some talent, Alex Blake, Adria Rae, and others adapted to and enjoyed the party, and bless them for it - their scenes are some of the highlights in porn - the uncut Ass For Grass scene is one of my absolute prized downloads. But no is still no. Anyway, I think we’re very much in agreement.

                        doublevr Agreed. I've worked in mainstream production and it is a beast on the best days. Clear expectations, boundaries, respect, and basic decency are always a must. (Ideally intimacy coordinators are on set as well.)

                        We're creating illusion and fantasy. People who don't understand that shouldn't be within a mile of a set.

                          It's taking me to the homepage. Maybe I have to have an account/be logged in? Can you share a screenshot or the text of the post?

                              Just finished listening to Alex’s entire interview on that podcast. Absolutely no question in my mind she was telling the truth… and wow what a cool lady. Such an absolute pro, and also just a good and decent person. I’m so, so glad she spoke up and some justice has come from it.
