[deleted]
petermc The upcoming section of SLROs?
Hopefully just an error or something that slipped by unnoticed
SLR aren't that desperate for cash..

My $.02
If the scenes were already contracted and paid for before SLR reconsidered its relationship with Jimmy. I have no problem with the scenes being released. Are they supposed to just kiss that money goodbye?
And if youβre gonna release the scenes. Just release them under the SLR name. Just explain you had these scenes in the can before all the drama. And Jimmy wasnβt the only person involved in making these scenes. The actresses, crew, MUA, etcβ¦all worked hard on the scene. And they deserve to see the light of day.
Iβm Ok with you guys trying to recoup the money spent on the scenes. Itβs not an inconsequential amount. Just be upfront about it. No need to try and sneak them out on the DL.
Speaking selfishly for a moment. Iβm a big fan of Melody Marks. And I would love to see her scene.
Anyways, just my opinion

petermc The indication was that these scenes were nothing to do with SLR, he was totally independent, so there shouldnβt be any investment to recoup unless that was untrue.
I highly doubt thatβs the case. Itβs not like Jimmy just shoots scenes. Pays out of his own pocket. Then shops them around to distributors on spec.
Yes, heβs an independent producer. But SLR hired him to shoot these scenes. They probably even booked the models for him. Whether money exchanged hands already. Or they were going to reimburse later. IDK
But all this talk that heβs totally independent was said during all the drama. And was probably damage control more than anything else
Iβm not an expert on the industry by any means. But Iβm pretty sure producers just donβt make content hoping to sell it to someone later. They are hired, as independent producers, to make scenes for a company.

Well put bro Sounds about right and reasonable
οΈJustice for the crew, justice for the crew

Free the hotties! Lets see their work, release the scenes!οΈ
Com on, Jimmy's gone and gag ordered, there might be scenes purchased, lets all meet in the middle on this and agree in respect to the hotties we don't boycott their hard work because of one pervert, it's not their fault, they just trying to earn.
Com on, let's do it fam, we can at least meet in the middle on this. οΈ for the hotties.
We might disagree on things but the hotties are what brings us here, do it for the hotties.
Release the scenes οΈ...(in a whisper voice)
bacula8630 I agree. Also i watched the trailer before it got taken down and it looked like a pretty good scene
I'm just curious but is Jimmy Lifestyles damage good forever or can he be redeemed in the eyes of those that is against him? This is not a defend of JL or anything of the sort. I'm generally just curious.
It was a part of a settlement that we cancel his channel and release the three produced scenes unlabeled. I guess we are going to respect that and release the scenes next week
Let's get over it folks.
It's time to move on.
Vrsumo2017 You've got a pretty weird imagination.
OliverDK That's a good question. I wish they had handled the entire situation differently. If the very first thing we heard about it was something along the lines of "We want to give Jimmy another chance, he says he's changed and we believe him. But to be sure we're going to have an independent auditor on site to make sure everything stays professional." i think things could have worked.
The way it got sprung and then there was all the backlash and a long ass story from Jimmy about why he acted creepy because that's just how things were when he got into the industry and the weird fake accounts that were defending him and trolling everyone that brought up complaints......it was just a total shit show that made him look like nothing had ever changed.
It's a shame because i think he makes really good content.
HughMungus total shit show that made him look like nothing had ever changed
I agree. He came on here with fake account after fake account, likening pornstars the same as whores and therefore implying because they get paid to perform sex that somehow therefore anything goes. A professional shoot includes pre-production where contracts and call sheets go out to participants. What happens is agreed ahead of time. I think this clip from Holly Randallβs podcast with ACC sums it up pretty much right, and Iβm guessing she would go nowhere near Jimmy today either.
My 2 cents. While I do not want any Lifestyles content in the future, if it's indeed part of the settlement maybe have the Starlets make a quick vid statement on their phone to send to SLR saying (only if they agree with the statement) "I endorse this scene. While I understand the issues with the Director/Production team, I felt safe and was treated well during the making of this scene." and tag it on as a 2d beginning to each movie or additional video on the scenes page. Knowing the safety of the performers (because of previous events) is the main issue. Then we'll be done with Lifestyles and everyone can move on.
HughMungus it's from being haf I guess idk
