My thoughts on Melissa/Brooke situation
 

You are both the talk of the town today! What "damages" do you see here to sue each other for?

Honestly, I see mistakes made on both sides, but you both feel like you did nothing wrong. Fair enough. Ask this question though: Would this whole problem exist without "Bubba" pressuring you both?

Fuck that guy!

My advice is to
1) share the content
2) trade traffic between yourselves
3) make more money
4) team up and sue the fuck out of that radio show

What exactly did Bubba need a liveshow for? Its RADIO! He is using you all for his own reasons (and his own ratings).

I love both girls, I'm not taking sides here. But if this involved one of my girls:

1) the whole day would have been planned ahead
2) the sharing of content would be agreed upon up front, or else Bubba would have seperate guests that day
3) the dildo would have been shoved up Bubba's ass

I think the situation got out of control, and Bubba is to blame for clearly pushing the girls beyond their level of comfort.

"Shock Jock" or not, he used his power to force the girls, and that is fucked up.

Steve Lightspeed

I agree 100% with you Steve

A voice of reason on GFY? Has hell frozen over, and I wasn't told about it?

I think this bubba guy is a complete fuckwit, why anyone would go on his show is beyond me, it seems that it is just for his own gratification.

I agree with Steve, sue Bubba.

who the fuck is this bubba? some fatso yes, but... ?

I don't see that happening . . . what would be the incentive for Melissa? Is her content on anyone else's site?

ya, all that Bubba guy wanted was for MM to ram it hard it Brooke's pussy knowing full well that it would hurt her bad. Obviously that is what gets him off.

MM did not do what he wanted her to.

Personally, I think that the content should be shared since MM was not alone in the video. Brook and Kat were there so they have the right to use that video.. Unless Brooke and Kat had a signed agreement with MM that said they would be paid $xxxx and told that they could not use the video that would be different. Other than that all 3 girls should have the right to use that video. I mean why should only one girl profit from the video when she did not act alone?

I also agree 100%. Just watched the video, and "Bubba" is the only one acting in a despicable manner. That guy should get kicked in the fucking teeth. I also agree about the content sharing. All of the girls involved have their brands to uphold on the web, and there's no reason to fight over content that could (SHOULD) be used in a mutually beneficial manner.

BTW, does this Bubba guy have a website? What radio station(s) is he on? Never heard of him but what a jackass.

Good post Steve.

Fuckin A right! :thumbsup

it would be a very interesting legal case to sue a shock jock and the company that employs him - he was in control and in charge of everything that went on in that studio - supposedly there is video of Brooke plaintively begging him 'no' -
and he did nothing but encourage it to go on. just because Brooke knew the nature of the show doesn't mean she gives up all her rights and personal dignity.
if Brooke would go along with it Mayor should consider suing Bubba and Sirius - there'd be major national press coverage for both girls.

Melissa won't win much if anything if she goes ahead and sues Mayor.

In case you haven't noticed, Brooke Skye is in the top 10 solo girls this year. They should cross-promote each other, like "watch this hot video of me with my new friend Melissa" with an affiliate link both ways, so everyone wins.

We just did a content shoot with Taylor Little, Naughty Allie, and Naughty Julie, and the signups are flying in both directions.

ok, here is a shamless plug:

Ooh, and look what a terrible marketer I am, I listed theirs first...

Steve Lightspeed

I wouldn't try to host a radio show, for the same reason a radio show host shouldn't try to direct a porn photoshoot. It requires KNOWLEDGE and SKILL.

Thanks Aaron for backing me up on this.

Steve Lightspeed

Not to mention there's no affiliate code either! Bad bad marketer!

No, I had not noticed and hasn't Taylor been on other girl's sites already? I don't think Melissa has. My understanding is that is why they did not want other cameras in there.

Right on the money.

I like your first name :winkwink:

wether they wanted other cameras in there or not if they didn't want Brooke and kat to be allowed to use the video which THEY were also in it should have been worked out in the begining. If MM was in there alone with no other solo girls than yes, she has all the right to using that video, but seeing as TWO other solo girls were in there they should also be allowed to use the video or the should be PAID to allows MM to use a video on her site that has 2 other solo girls in it. So I guess it's ok for MM to make money using a video with 2 other known solo girls in it, but it's not ok for Brooke or kat to use it since MM is in it? What sense does that make?

fact is, all 3 girls should be allowed to put the video in their members section.

Its one thing to keep your model exclusive. Our top girls don't work for other photographers either. But for two (or three) solo models to pose together and share the content is good for everyone, more exposure = more money. Not to mention some HOT content for their sites.

It makes sense to trade traffic, otherwise, why are we here?

Great thread and post Steve :)

Well, not my battle . . . just my two cents. I am not saying I don't agree with the premise, just don't see that one issue happening from what I read.

After Mayor's initial reaction, I think the chances of it happening were significantly lowered.

I would like to have Hi-Definition content of Bubba-the-Love-Sponge getting butt fucked with a strap-on!!!

And if I did have such content, I would...

1) NOT share the content
2) Keep the traffic to myself
3) Make more money
4) Watch THAT repeatedly and :1orglaugh

My :2 cents:

I'm pretty sure Mayor said (in a deleted thread) that his girls signed releases to Melissa's company.

What I don't understand is why MelissaMidwest was calling the shots? Why were they the controlling authority on who can and can't videotape?

Clearly, he's to blame. Countless times, you watch as Brooke says "No", and he either tells her to "Shut Up", or makes her move her hand (which is the only thing keeping the strap-on from sliding all the way in.)... and in some of the footage, it looks like he's pushing her in deeper, when she's trying to hold back because the pain is unbearable. But both Brooke & Melissa should have been smart enough to refuse to put up with his shit or simply walk away.

If the girls and their handlers focus on fighting each other, they're missing the biggest opportunity of their "15 minutes"... perhaps they should focus their hate towards Bubba/Sirius, who deserve it and concentrate on making up and cross-promoting each other.

fyi, BrookeMelissaReunion.com is available and so is FuckBubba.com :thumbsup



.

Mayor is protecting his model. Not a bad thing to do, IMO.

Both sides here are good people. I wish they'd all step back for a while. I don't think Melissa could have stopped for the same reasons that Brooke agreed to take the dildo in the first place. Because they were both being pressured by Bubba. That guy deserves an ass kicking IMO, if not a lawsuit handed to him during his show.

Steve Lightspeed

Steve,

According to? I'd love to see a breakdown of the top ten.


thanks...

way too go steve ! :)

some wise words

http://www.pornresource.com/sites/single_girl/

I'm not quite sure why they aren't including any Lightspeed sites in that list.

http://www.pornresource.com/sponsor/lightspeed_cash

Excelent post.

I just finished watching the videos.

Bubba clearly was the instigator in much if not all of what happened. Sirius = deeper pockets if settled, potential for huge media exposure, plus a common enemy instead of infighting amongst what appears to be some really decent webmasters with good intent and some very misdirected anger.

Protecting his model would be having someone in the room, not telling people to take down Melissa's links and offering higher payouts if they did.

I think Mayor realized that he acted hastily, and out of anger, with that post. You've never flown off the handle?

Thanks.:thumbsup and I wonder why they're not including you in the lineup. Looks like they given your own chart. LOL.

Steve,
Alexa treasts subdomains as different websites, so alexa will never give an accurate traffic rank for your sites.
Use ranking.websearch.com for a true traffic rank that includes subdomains.

I agree 100%....this is what I was trying to say in my thread..lol...:thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i Agree 100%

I'd like to (Very) respectfully disagree.

That's his JOB... he's a shock jockey. And judging from the response here on GFY, a pretty good one. I give him props for shocking GFY, and stirring it up. That's what he gets paid to do, and clearly he does it successfully. Protecting (or managing) talent is neither his job or responsibility.

I think BOTH models seem pretty poorly managed, and this promotion is less than purely positive, for both, for many reasons. To name a couple: they're both poorly lit throughout, and reduced to their physical assets, only. Clearly top performers offer much more, and this strategy and persona-building is a management team's job. Without that, it's just a young woman's pretty body and that's all either of these two have going for them. The content is terrible. Aside from the drama quality, I can't see there being much interest... perhaps that's the reason for the drama.

I worked for a corporate talent buyer in New York and produced a lot of shows.. Etta James, Pointer Sisters, etc. etc. for large corporate events and each had what's known as a ryder to accompany any contract. This ryder would specify lighting requirements, appropriate conversation topics, seating arrangements, etc.. EVERYTHING so that the talent would only be viewed in the most positive light. Any experienced talent manager can tell you how important this is.. Especially in porn. Would have negated this scenario altogether. But IMHO this is not Bubba's fault.

I think these girls need more professional representation when doing live events.

There's no case here. She's an adult. She basically consented on camera. Unless you could prove she's mentally retarded (which is possible, she is content after all) there is no way to sue for this.

But then again it would be great press if they did try to sue Bubba. You see how much we talked about it among ourselves, imagine if you got the public inviolved.

Steve Lightspeed[/QUOTE

100% agree with you Steve on this matter, and yes this is radio why the need for any video content ?? Bubba should come to australia and i could introduce him to my cricket bat :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Not publicly.

haha, *yet* --- who started first, you or Mayor?

I agree wholeheartedly steve.

10158666-post6.html

Irrelevant. Like I teach my kids, learn from your mistakes, and whenever possible, learn from the mistakes of others.

I am.

a : please redefine monsterdick. By watching the vid, thats not a monsterdick.
b : you gonna pimp your model, stay with her, all the time!! Thats your job, thats what you supposed to do. Mayor said in his statement " they didnt wanna be arrogant and the exposure was so important that they agreed to let het in alone. REED MY SIG!!!
c: if you dont wanna do it then dont do it. You are a porn model. You should know your limits. Next time you end up with a turd on her head.
d: Media horny pornactress and over exited guys in a radio studio without her manager / pimp / caretaker leads to this kind of shit.

just my

steve, what are your thoughts on this:

http://www.melissamidwest.com/mayor.jpg

we're upset, and im sure you can see why. i had a lot of respect for mayor and his program, until he posted that. the backlash we took over nothing.

And in my opinion, that's what this should be...a learning experience. This was a cluster fuck from the word go, and I think everyone could have handled things differently. I don't see where there is a need to bring lawyers into it (against either program/owner/girl) and make this into something that it isn't. I agree with everything that Steve said about sharing content, trading links, and teaming up to leagally go after the main instigator...Bubba.

Now, with that being said...is that how I would handle it? Maybe, but probably not. My solution would consist of two webmasters/owners, two solo girls, two big black strap-ons...and another trip to Florida. See how Bubba likes getting fucked.

thanks baddog. im still in utter shock he posted what he did without even trying to figure out facts. this isnt so much about what went on as it is about mayor's actions. mayor seems to shift the focus away from his ridiculous behavior to the show as a means to justify his move.

when he posted that, he legitimately thought there was some sort of set up to hurt brooke and get it on camera. for all i know, he may still believe it, i shit you not. the video was posted as a means to show everyone.. "hey, we did nothing wrong." imagine taking the heat we took for no good reason. should i let him off with a simple apology "ooops, sorry, it turns out they really didnt have bad intentions," after the fact?

EDIT: Nevermind

This is a great resource Stevie!
