HughMungus if all we see are the 5-15 girls that say you were creepy/abusive then that's all we have to base our opinions on.
This part is pretty important.
Jimmy and the guy yesterday only talk about the Alex Coal allegations, but don't anyhow address what other female actresses and male actors have said about Jimmy and their own bad experiences with him.
Maybe Alex wasn't 100% sincere or has her own bad past, but what about all the other involved industry actors who spoke out?
This is a forum and everyone can have their say. I will only respond by saying our actions always have consequences even if they are well intentioned. We have to realise the world has moved on, people talk about cancel culture, snowflakes and people being constantly offended, but I disagree. I don't think any of those things happen any more than they used to, but we do now expect better behaviour from each other. This is a good thing. I am sure there may be a route back into the industry for Jimmy and he may be able to repair his reputation but this will inevitably take time and determination and certainly requires an acceptance and recognition of the things that have gone wrong in the past. For SLR at this moment it is right for them to distance themselves as both it's customers and those that work for it have asked for this to happen. See what the future brings.
HughMungus This is just my opinion, but it sounds like you should have ditched this "Jimmy Lifestyles" sleezy director character about 10 years ago when it stopped being cool and just been a normal director that was more respectful.
Nailed it.
I wonder how this would have gone down if the channel had been called something else. The "Jimmy Lifestyles" brand may not have the value some seem to think. Or maybe its just been poisoned.
I have no horse in the race, and don't know all the details, but one obvious thing that seems to be getting ignored is that there are some females who engage in social manipulation and their primary fuel is beta orbiters.
As I read through a lot of the comments, it seemed to me that there are a lot of people speaking from alternate agendas, not the least of which being that if you don't support the poor, helpless female then you are the next witch for the pitchfork mob to focus on. The main accuser in this scenario seems to have been a co-abuser in her own prior scandal of abusing girls. Where is all the outrage and curiosity about that? From my comfortable objective position, it seems obvious that is not where the drama and brownie points are to be had, so that's just conveniently ignored.
In this scenario, no one knows the whole story. If the true agenda was a just and healthy environment, the whole story needs to be heard objectively - as opposed to a trial-by-media style mob; Otherwise, things may feel good in the short term, until the precedent of an unfair trial grows worse and worse, with more and more external agendas and manipulations. The person who wins the popularity game today will reap the ills of it in the future, and more and more people of good character will cease to participate, as more and more people with their own agendas will enter and hasten things into decline.
I don't envy the position SLR has been placed in. I admire DoubleVR for attempting to be the adult in the room in the midst of this massive food fight. I would advise to look at the big picture and the future, because the precedent set here will likely not end here, and will be subject to even more gossip, drama, mob idiots, etc. I would also perhaps let people know that bullying, from any side, will not be tolerated.
I don't know what the actual truth is in the Jimmy tribe versus Alex Coal tribe, but personally I don't think it's the responsibility of SLR to have to get involved. If there is a true concern about conduct on set, there are ways to address that without having to join the Crips or the Bloods in a never-ending, mindless, circular war.
And lastly, I'd point out that the victims of Alex Coal and her partner are being ignored by all the mob members here. Somehow all the people concerned about 'safety' and 'protecting the girls' don't give an ounce of fuck for those girls, and are all over Alex's Twitter sucking her feet. Funny how that works.
No way I read this much. SLR wants money. Sees the backlash for jimmy. Now comes the damage control. Lmao. End of story.
I imagine you would see similar outrage here if SLR was to announce a "PrimalVR" channel.
If the cameras are always running then why not just release the BTS footage of the times based around the accusations and use hard evidence to clear your name?
MrLifestyles After I saw how some of the girls I thought were friends and I liked and always thought were having fun piled on me saying they didn't want to shoot for me anymore online and not to me personally, I mean I would have cleared it up with them if they called me directly or brought it up on set. These are girls I never touched or abused,just joked with.
Absolutely classic abuser monologue. Can't see the power dynamic between director who pays for a model and model who needs that money, blames it all on joking when called out, can't understand why someone who you have power over would try to just take it and get out of there so they still get paid rather than confront you and risk cancelling the shoot (and their paycheck), no sympathy/empathy for the girls you hurt, just a wall of text that sums up to "I'm the REAL victim".
You abused your power and position and are angry and furiously backpedalling when you are called on it. SLR made a good choice in rescinding this offer.
Niteflyte And lastly, I'd point out that the victims of Alex Coal and her partner are being ignored by all the mob members here. Somehow all the people concerned about 'safety' and 'protecting the girls' don't give an ounce of fuck for those girls, and are all over Alex's Twitter sucking her feet. Funny how that works.
Typical false equivalence. Please note that the person who accused Alex Coal posted screenshots of converstaions she had with anonymous individuals criticizing Alex's conduct. No names, no corroboration, no skin in the game. On Alex's side, she had more than a dozen actresses go on the recored with their experiences, and put their reputation and incomes on the line for doing so. On the one side, we essentially have heresay, while on the other we have a preponderance of evidence. You could argue that it is still heresay, but the weight of that evidence increases with the number of independent and not-anonymous corroborations.
Niteflyte beta orbiters
Concern about the ethics and morality of the company you do business with and the entertainment you consume has nothing to do with being "beta". In my experience, the surest indicator of a beta male is calling others beta on social media forums.
rustynailinabucket9 I hear rumors on Twittter that now that he was given a platform to tell his side finally, he does have all the bts and is compiling all the evidence to show what really happened in each girls accusations. Apparently, they are pretty damning and quite contrary to what was accused.
Wendigo You just hung yourself with your own words:

On the one hand you assert that girls have no power and are hesitant to risk things, and on the other hand you say that girls who don't risk things should be disregarded. Pardon me but I don't think you are here out of morality or ethics. I think you're here simply for the drama; Otherwise your own hypocrisy wouldn't be so lost on you.
And assuming that risk has to do with whether someone makes their voice heard, is precisely why "trial by media" is a bad idea. Alex apparently has enough popularity to rally folks behind her to the point where serious allegations against her are swept under the rug. This child-level social behavior has been taking place on schoolgrounds since forever. Popular kids from the in-crowd target an outcast kid, and all the kids in the middle either join-in or allow it to take place for fear of being the next victim and/or for social points with the mob (a la Lord of the Flies).
Leda Bear, Violet October and Jewelz Blu are nowhere near as popular as Alex Coal, so disregard them (and the other girls afraid to put their names out) and their victimization. And that's not enough, give Alex Coal a complete pass in her victimizing. And this from the crowd who are so very highly moral (on this here porn forum).

And no, there's no beta energy from you. This is alpha. Same way that a man is actually a woman, and when you ask what a woman is, it's "anyone who identifies as a woman", and around and around in a never-ending circle of bullshit.
It was more than two girls, there’s lots of accounts of unprofessional and predatory behaviour and we have no reason to think those people are lying. These are people who’ve been in porn for years and do not have a reputation for this type of drama.
As far as I’m concerned you have a second chance, you get to move on and do something else. You don’t deserve a second chance to be back on a porn set in a position to carry on doing this to more girls. It should be a zero tolerance situation when dealing with these young and often vulnerable girls.
If they are all making shit up, and you’re completely innocent, then I’m sorry this happened to you. I’d rather people erred on the side of caution though in removing abusers from the industry and, if a few people get caught in the crossfire and are collateral damage, then so be it. It’s not like you got a police record or are on some register or something, you just don’t get to make porn anymore.
I agree that this “character” should have ended years ago….but honestly it’s not easy to know when is the right time to change to fit into the latest social zeitgeist. Me Too happened very abruptly. A lot of people who deserved to be punished were punished, but I would argue far more well intentioned people who made small mistakes were punished disproportionately harshly. None of us are perfect. I believe people deserve second chances in MOST(not all) circumstances. I also believe there are a large amount of people, which a poster above alluded to, that will ruthlessly weaponize accusations with a pebble of truth, while leaving out a large amount of context….merely to fuel their own advancement, and without any regard for the sometimes irreversible damage done to the one being accused. That absolutely sickens me and I find it disgraceful. And like lemmings(we’ve seen this countless times), the online cancellation mobs will, compelled by our most primitive, tribal instincts will revel in watching someone’s life being destroyed, discarding any apology or explanation as “not good enough”. Don’t tell me cancel culture doesn’t exist. It’s always existed in some form. It’s current iteration is new and the medium used to inflict the damage is new and incredibly damaging if used recklessly. (It is)
Listen….we all watch porn. I have respect for the actors and people behind the scenes who make it happen. It’s clearly a tough job and I’d hope we all want them to be safe. But why are we putting these people on some kind of moral pedestal here? We have unproven allegations and we have people here and elsewhere giving them the ironclad legitimacy as if it was ruled by a jury. Fact is I enjoy the content. It makes me feel good. I pay for it. Sometimes I’ll pop in and suggest performers I enjoy watching. My engagement ends there. I really don’t want to say much more at the risk of getting banned….but the level of engagement some people seem to have with the opinions of people you don’t know and probably never will to accurately assess any kind of judgement of their character , strikes me as incredibly unhealthy.
That’s all I have to say. I understand why SLR made the decision they did. Pure damage control. Probably the right business move. But I do think this guy deserves a chance at redemption. Leave it to the courts. If it’s not something that the accusing parties are willing to bring to court, then are we even talking about a crime worthy of this type of social punishment?
petermc It was more than two girls, there’s lots of accounts of unprofessional and predatory behaviour and we have no reason to think those people are lying. These are people who’ve been in porn for years and do not have a reputation for this type of drama.
There are plenty of motivations for lying. Come the fuck on. The main accuser is herself accused of even worse abuse. Where's your concern about that?!

I sincerely hope that you aren't accused of something one day, denied the ability to earn a living from the career path you've built, and have people saying "oh well sucks for you but gotta simp for poor vulnerable females".
Sup perv, lol @MrLifestyles
I'm sitting here staring at trees and the sky it's sunny outside, ...wait...the clouds just blocked it...anyways tho I'm curious how did you get into filming vr, you were shooting 2d right? For wankz and I'm sure other studios, but like that moment you got introduced to the idea of shooting vr, did some site owner or maybe wankz come to you and said hey you want to shoot vr? Or was it something you thought of cuz you were in the know about vr, idk man these the questions that just come to my head, I bet you got a lot stories, how did all that vr start and what was it like starting it? Who was your actual first hottie you shot in vr? How did the process move along back then learning techniques with the vr cam, did you watch your work in vr alot or was it reading comments from the viewers to help guide yall with vr filming, probably both. What was the first vr cam you used to shoot vr?
Regardless what a few hotties say about you and you stepping over their boundaries, your not in jail or convicted of anything, I bet you got sum speeding tickets lol, but you got stories to tell and I'd be interested in hearing those.
And, that hottie actually showed up to set and thought you were the male talent she working with? And she let you finger bang her on cam? "allegedly" from what I read.
SMH, I'd called my booking agency right then and there on video chat and say is this actually the ugly mofo you booked me with, AH HELL NO, im out...lol I wouldn't have fell for that shit, SMH 
I can't believe she actually fell for that, "allegedly"
Anyways, those sum questions I had, I could also ask how cool was Alexis Texas on set? Who were the coolest hotties you worked with on set, who were not so cool on set, you prefer vr or 2d to shoot, was melody marks cool on set? Will we ever see a release for that new vr scene you shot with her, shes an awesome performer! Sum viewer's actually think shes a queen, 
...will you be making an only fans, maybe show off that sexy dad bod, lol 
grrrrr
Hey, alex coal does kink vids or sum shit, would you let her torture you on cam? In vr...whip you, slap you around, degrade you as a filty scum perv? Lol I'd wanna see that, drop you off in the middle of no where naked lol 
omg lol
...apparently they film talents puking or sum shit 
ewww 
"allegedly"
What hotties have you worked with recently in vr? I just know about marks and pony.
What are your plans now?
Later perv 
Would you ever start a podcast?
Niteflyte You just hung yourself with your own words:
It might seem that way if your reading comprehension sucks.
Wendigo Can't see the power dynamic between director who pays for a model and model who needs that money, blames it all on joking when called out, can't understand why someone who you have power over would try to just take it and get out of there so they still get paid rather than confront you and risk cancelling the shoot (and their paycheck),
Did I say that girls have no power, or that there is a power dynamic at play between director and model (boss and employee)? It would be the same if the director was a woman and the model was a male.
Niteflyte Popular kids from the in-crowd target an outcast kid, and all the kids in the middle either join-in or allow it to take place for fear of being the next victim and/or for social points with the mob (a la Lord of the Flies).
Really? This is your take? That Alex is popular and poor Jimmy is the victim? Talk about beta energy.
Niteflyte And that's not enough, give Alex Coal a complete pass in her victimizing.
No one did that. It is, however, a tired tactic in rape/sexual assault/sexual harassment cases to play the "she's no angel" card. People who have behaved poorly in the past are not free targets to abuse in the present. If I once stole something from someone, I still get to file a police report if my car is stolen.
Niteflyte On the one hand you assert that girls have no power and are hesitant to risk things, and on the other hand you say that girls who don't risk things should be disregarded.
I didn't say that, either. What I said was that anonymous allegations carry less weight than identified ones.
Niteflyte Same way that a man is actually a woman, and when you ask what a woman is, it's "anyone who identifies as a woman", and around and around in a never-ending circle of bullshit.
Hoo boy. Get some therapy.
Here is a hint for you: Alphas protect the vulnerable members of their pack. They don't abuse them, or make excuses for others who do. I really can't think of a weaker move.
phyuggene
DING DING DING!!!!
That's some fine detective work.
What normal person (who doesnt work in porn) is gonna put up an actual photo of themselves on a PORN forum lol. That's why my profile pic is a cartoon character and not an actual picture of myself.
Edit:
He even put his name on there; 'Michael Johnson'. Bruh... who would put their actual name as a name of a member in a public PORN forum lol
Wendigo Not sure if your reading comprehension is poor if if you are deliberately misreading the passages you quoted.
You're projecting your own deliberate misreading/arguing in bad faith. You made the assertion that girls have something to risk by making their name known, and then turned around and disregarded girls who didn't make their names known.
By the way, several girls DID make their names known, and you have zero outrage over that alleged misconduct - which goes right to the point of your double-standards/hypocrisy/bullshit.
And yes, ALL of this is allegations, and no one here knows the truth of the full context of behaviors that took place, which is precisely the point. But of course, that's not going to stop you from acting as the activist reporter pushing propaganda.
I think he prolly atleast did some of the creepy stuff the other girls have accused him of and then after 2019, he mellowed out.
Also, if he really was just playing a character, a normal person would stop playing up the creepiness after it became obvious the girls felt uncomfortable and complained about it on set but the guy seemed hellbent on playing this character to the point that alot of girls don't wanna work with him.
phyuggene THIS IS NOT JIMMY. IP search had to have been done by now and I’m still here. Now go eat a dick with your accusations.
