harigeharry Would any studio after that want to work with such 'trouble maker'
In Alex Coal’s interview she explained exactly this catch-22. Jimmy coerced her into a non-consensual situation during the shoot. After the shoot he became even more threatening and predatory as the set cleared of people and she had to call someone to get her out of there. However she was a brand new face and rather than risk future castings she endured and internalized it. This is often the case for pornstars and non pornstars alike. The power dynamic can make things next to impossible for a young woman. Add to that the common insinuations that “she must have been asking for it.” Now put that into the porn context, and it takes a very brave woman to finally step forward and attempt to be taken seriously when reporting a non-consensual, abusive situation. It was only after Alex Coal had earned some sway in the industry that she finally spoke up. It’s not like she had a lot to gain by doing this, so it mystifies me when she’s not taken at her word. I strongly urge people to listen to the interview she gave. Her story is far more compelling than Jimmy’s chaotic rebuttals… painting himself as the singled-out victim. Ugh, please. There are countless shoots still up on Wankz where it’s clear what a pig that guy is, and why after only a few bookings, Aidra Fox said Jimmy was “on her ‘no’ list”, and she never shot for Wankz again.
I respect the hell out of Alex. She makes herself available to any and all women in the industry that find themselves in such difficulty. She’s the real deal people.
