Whether you try to call this a business decision or it, it is still you and your reputation supporting them.

Michael,
I think you've known me well enough and long enough to know that I cannot treat people in this industry that way. I am first and foremost a published personality in this industry. With as much press, media coverage as I have had over the years, when I am published in something and when I am making an appearance or hosting something. It is my responsibility to me first to see that it is done in a manner that reflects my professionalism.
This same thing happened to me between Ksex and Primetime. My best friend James whom I have known for 10 years asked me to be his co-hostess. I did it to support his cause. Then I hear from ksex, all hosts at Primetime cannot be on ksex. Yet, there are a few people who worked there who are equally my dearest of friends who were angry because they were looking for my support also. Which I really wanted to give them.
Porno Dan is a very good friend to me. I have known him for a few years now and I show him the utmost respect and I think he is amazing when you see him at work.
Now keep in mind another best friend of mine is Wankus and he came to me and asked me to be one of his co-hosts. I am his friend and want nothing but the best for him so how could I turn away from that?
I think everyone is asking way too much of me....if as a tv personality, published person, model/actress whatever anyone wishes to call it, I have opportunities to continue being in the public eye....tell me when that is not supposed to take precedence over things that happened to everyone else??
I don't know the intricate details but I bet any money, the people involved are once again personal friends of mine and I cannot turn my back on those people. They have supported my career for years. I have to support them also.
I don't personally know the people that own Rude TV and I didn't know anyone that owned Ksex. I don't personally know anyone at Xpeeps or at AEBN. As far as Primtime, Michael, you are the only one I know. So when my friends tell me they would like my involvement and it benefits me to be in the public eye more and more......this is where I have to prioritize. My image and what I do with it has to come first. The day anyone personally does something wrong to me, then I will worry about how to deal with it.
However I really will make this point so that everyone can understand the complexity of my situation.....
I'm going to just come out and say it.....
I was born with Cystic Fibrosis which is a genetically inherited organ disorder. For those of you who don't know it is better for you to just look it up. I am 36 years old and by most medical practitioners diagnosis, should be dead now. I am still here.
I have also got Diabetes, System Lupus and Asthma.
When I get up in the morning and I have to spend my life on medicines, injections and 2 hours of breathing machines so I can experience another day on God's green earth then please get this point. MY life is already complex. Then in Feb 2008 I end up in hospital to have a permanent cathetar in my heart which has now given me a serious blood clot near my heart that I am on blood thinners to fix which in turn has now cause ruptures of bleeding from my lungs that wont stop but are very dangerous and this happens every 3 days. Then in March 2008 someone rear ended me on the freeway and totalled my car. I now have bad back problems and I split my foot open so I really cant walk properly till that heals.
NOW I RUN A MARKETING AND PR COMPANY AND STILL GET PUBLISHED MYSELF. I STILL PRODUCE MY OWN FOOTAGE AND I MASS MERCHANDISE MY IMAGE.......where in all that you have read above does it show room for anything else in my life OTHER THAN MY OWN NEEDS....yet you still see me making room to be there for the important people in my industry to show my support.
SO PLEASE EVERYONE ON GFY...... unless you are going to come to my house, take my medicine, deal with my doctors, use the breathing machines, pay my bills, clean my house, take the bleeding away, take the pain away, fix my car, heal my foot......who do you think you are talking to??????????????????????????
In my life......I take precedence.
I have never asked ANY OF YOU to take responsibility for things that affect my life but yet everyone wants me to do make decisions based on something other than what personally happened to me.
My vision in life for some of you will always be greater than yours because I am always forced to look at my bigger picture.
Wankus and I have a show on Rude TV.
I have a convention one week later
I am hosting with Porno Dan the Xpeeps party the night before.
I am published in Glamor Girl Magazine the day Adultcon starts as May 08 centerfold.
I have an event May 10th called Arabian Nights with King Ryan Events.
This is what I will devote my time and energy to....myself, my career, my sponsors, my friends and my media connects.
DONE
