Monty Gone from AVN :(
 
Got this in the mail yesterday from my bud Monty (MJ) over @ AVN.
I worked on a couple of projects with Monty - he was awesome to work with!
~~~~

I'm sorry for the informal nature of this email, but there's not really an easy or fun way to do this. I also apologize if you got this in duplicate.

Today was my last day at AVN.
I'm not going to go into the details of the situation, but I will survive, and AVN might even survive, too.
I just wanted to send this email and give everyone my contact information, and also to take the time to thank you for your contributions both to my personal and professional growth.

I spent nearly 5 years at AVN, which is longer than I've ever held a job in my life, prior to this. That I was able to fool them into employing me for this long is a feat in and of itself.

After I take some time off to decompress, I will be looking for work again. Whether I remain in the adult industry, go to mainstream, or start trafficking organs on the black market remains to be seen. Immediately, I know that I will be most interested in freelance and consulting projects, though. So, please keep me in mind if something were to come up.

And so, to the business at hand.

For the unfortunate people who worked for me in some capacity, it's been a pleasure. If you have questions about assignments, invoices or anything else, please address them to Vanessa - [email protected]. She should be able to find an answer for you.

For those of you who had business with me at AVN, I will certainly do my best in the transition to make sure your needs are taken care of and deals are honored. I've filled in Janet Gibson ([email protected]) as much as I could, and you can contact her with any questions, problems, etc.

Lastly, those of you who would like to reach me personally can do so via email at [email protected] or you can call my cell phone at -------.

Before you do the latter, please give me a few days to collect my thoughts. But to answer the inevitable question - yes, I am ok, and will always be ok. If there are issues you are have with AVN pertaining to deals that we worked on together, you can also contact me, and I will do my best to get things worked out.

Thanks and godspeed.

Monty

Heard about this last night. Have to say, I was pretty surprised.

Darrah 07-03-2009 05:52 PM

I held off hoping that someone else would break the news but it didn't look like anyone was going to so I thought I'd do it :(

Darrah 07-03-2009 06:17 PM

He should go work at XBiz. This way AVN would get pissed again and file another lawsuit. lol :1orglaugh

Godspeed Monty. You rock! :upsidedow

Monty is great peeps but why flaunt HIS story on GFY?

Monty will do great for himself that is for sure.

LAJ 07-03-2009 08:40 PM

Sucks indeed... I've worked deals with Monty pretty much since he got into the biz. I'm confident he'll end up alright.

Good luck to him on his new endeavors I'm sure he has a few offers by now.

Meeper 07-06-2009 04:25 PM

Damn that's too bad. Monty is a great guy and AVN should be sorry to see him go.

TheAmericanCannibal 07-06-2009 04:36 PM

Wow two "MJ's" gone in one week.
Best of luck Monty

Just Mike 07-06-2009 04:47 PM

good luck Monty...Avn's loss to be sure

jay23 07-06-2009 08:15 PM

I owe MJ a lot for getting me so many leads in this business, he was so much dedicated to AVN, its a loss for them.

I hope XBIZ will hire him.
