Looks like Pandora has a new box that just opened and that box is my lawsuit against “Buttman” himself, John Stagliano. Adult FYI, AVN, XBIZ, Mike South, and even TMZ posted a story about a case that John Stagliano didn’t inform me that he was HIV, and yes it’s very true, I am suing the guy you call “The Man of the Porn Business.” Bloggers from porn and mainstream have broadcasted this lawsuit, and now I’m blogging about it just so I can set a few things clear, and answer the questions of “Why the fuck is Katie Summers doing this?” Wait till the other shocking news I have to say, so just keep reading.
I started porn in the summer of 2009 when I was 19 years old, a few weeks before my 20th birthday just so yall know 🙂 I got hooked up with Type 9 Models who I guess was a cool agency to be with back in the day, oh and I started in Miami, FL (not Porn Valley). A couple weeks in the business, my agent and I went to lunch with the owner of one of the biggest companies in adult entertainment. It was cool having lunch with such a powerful man in the business that I just started working in and to be told all the fun things that happen and the events etc. We discuss about the kinds of work I would like to do and of course, strapping on a guy was on my top list and Joey Silvera, who also was at lunch with us with, said he would book me a strap on scene when I go out to LA (reminder, I never been to LA before). ALL ABOARD!
John Stagliano and Joey were out in Miami shooting for the week and John booked me right away for his Buttman Stretch Class movie, oh yeah this was booked as an anal solo shoot. A few days later I was in “Stags” hotel room, where we shot the scene, all excited cause I never really played with my ass before, lol wanna know something funny, I always thought you automatically got HIV/AIDS if you have anal sex (with an actual penis) condom or no condom, damn I was naive back in the day.
One thing that was new to me was putting clothes pins on my pussy lips and butt cheeks, if you look at the recent pic on www.avn.com it shows Stagliano handing me clothespins to put on me, if you look even deeper you can find pics of him holding one of the pins while its on my pussy. Being in piledriver can be tricky, especially when you have Mr. Buttman spreading your ass cheeks so you can fuck yourself, and he is standing over you at that matter, but it looks fucking sexy on camera. After fucking both my holes, I felt like I was the coolest person ever cause I just shot my first scene for Evil Angel and I fucked my ass hole, with the smallest toy in the world!
Fast forward 3 years later sitting in a office, bull shitting about the business, we start talking about Evil Angel and John Stagliano, “yeah I shot for his Stretch Class movie, it was one of my first scenes when I started.” “You know he has HIV right?” Everything in my body just stops, NO I didn’t know he had HIV! I am always the last one to know about things, important things too.
I get it, Google is our best friend and we should use it, but come on, how many of us really research people we are going to work with or just people in the business in general. Also if he is so “open” about being HIV+ wouldn’t he inform us girls that he has it instead of assuming we already know?
Why aren’t the agents informing their girls about Stagliano? Let me say this again, I was brand new in the business when the scene was shot and it was in Florida not LA and it was my FIRST shoot with them so we can mark out what some people are trying to say “oh she knew cause she was already around and shot for them a bunch.” I feel it shouldn’t of been my responsibility to look up his status when I went to lunch with the guy, he had so many opportunities, so did my agent, to tell me. If I would of know about Stagliano, I wouldn’t of done the scene, honestly, I would of said no.
People like to point out past scenes I’ve done that say “well isn’t this just the same” laughing to myself, I have to sit here and educate you all like children, I have done scenes with crossover guys, all are tested, none of them have HIV and I also worked with crossover stars where condoms were involved and they we are all tested and test at the same facility. In the scene with John, there was no sexual intercourse but there is sexual content and there is rough footage that didn’t make the cut in the film, what you see, if you pay attention, he does touch my pussy when I have the clothespins on me, he spreads my ass apart, hands me toys and the clothespins, with his bare hands.
Working in porn we are required to have a monthly test that is provided on all sets, if you don’t have one, you can’t shoot. So if we are required to have a test, what makes it ok for Stagliano to not provide one, despite the fact that he hasn’t been able to detect the virus in over 15 years, he takes his meds, and thinks its ok to shove toys and speculums with his bare hands, can let girls sit on his face with their cute tight pants on, and shove feet in his mouth?
You got to be out of your mind! I know another girl who worked with John in the past year who didn’t he had it either, and you guys sit around saying “you are stupid if you didn’t know he has HIV!” Give me a break, obviously girls don’t know he has it and are not being informed, that’s the fucked up part of this situation. In any sexual content, the person has the right to know if the partner has a disease, we are all grown ups, and if he is open about it, then why are girls coming out saying “I didn’t know he was positive.” So much for a safe, healthy, and fun business.
Majority of people like to throw Rob Black in the mix of everything, which what ever fine say what you want but at least say something worth while. I’m not a puppet to anyone and I’m not living my life that way. Rob doesn’t sit there and say do this, do that, don’t do this, don’t do that, and he doesn’t say “I hate this person so you can’t work with any of his girls.” You guys seem to think he controls every little thing I do, truth is, he is the person that is straight up honest with me and he was the one that informed me about Stagliano.
Rob doesn’t depend on me, I don’t play the game of giving him every thing I earn, we work together people in what ever form you want to take it. With this lawsuit, Rob didn’t demand that I do it, I wanted to do this, this was my choice, and my right. Rob has been there, advised me on things I should of known and helped me think more like a businesswoman than just some young woman trying to figure out what to do with my life. Take it any way you want, bash the facts, but what you build in your head is not what the real picture is.
This lawsuit isn’t about getting a pay day, this is about the safety and health of all the performers in this business. This is something that should be stopped, what John Stagliano does is not right, no matter how tamed or how wild the scenes are, he should not be participating in these movies and just leave them as anal solos. Us girls should be informed that he is HIV+ and that will give us the choice if we want to do the scene or not.
As I said before and as I say now, I was brand new to the business, Buttman’s Stretch Class was the first scene I have done for Evil Angel, John Stagliano had more than one chance to say he was positive, the scene was shot in Florida and my agent did not inform me.

I’m not sifting through bim whore wall of text. Someone get her a keyboard with an ENTER key, to use after each coherent thought. Oh wait, nevermind.
Yeah I agree with you. That was really hard to read. I went through and tried to break it up into smaller paragraphs.
So… he just groped her, then. That seals it for me; this case is bullshit.
Frankly, I find it admirable that at no time in the blog does she state, suggest, or even imply that he inserted his hand or fingers (or anything else) into her as some have suggested. To take that a step further, she blogged about this matter repeatedly and never suggested any such thing happened in the deleted footage, before or after the camera was rolling too. That is in stark contrast to what some of the gossip websites have been claiming by the way.
So if it isn’t about a payday as she claims, she will be happy to drop the lawsuit given that Evil Angel is reportedly no longer making the series.
She is worried about getting HIV but admits she works with crossover talent? One day thats gonna bite her in the ass big time. Forget about John touching her ass, she should be more worried about the ticking time bomb that is crossover talent.
America: The land of frivolous lawsuits.
here we have another great example of the disintegration of the english language. she says “if I would OF known” instead of would HAVE known as it’s supposed to be. she does it repeatedly.
This is like 1984 all over again. people thought you got AIDS from touching other people. this simple minded moron is no different. spreading your ass is not sexual contact in a porn shoot. handing you items with your bare hands in no way exposes you to anything other than a common cold.
rob black wrote, or at least edited this..
Just the mention of Rob BLACK MAKES THIS chick suspect. Second John is not talent he does not need to tell you he is HIV positive to hand you toys or clothes pins. By touching something via the hand is not going to give you anything. The amount of ignorance in this article is astounding from someone that works in the sex industry. I would think you would be very well informed especially if your dealing with gay for pay guys which in my opinion should never get to work on the straight side. I have said that for years if you want to risk going gay for cash go for it but don’t come back to the straight side.
this lawsuit should not even of been filed let alone get to a court room.
Hopefully the lawsuit will be dismissed. Even if it goes forward, there’s no way she will win.
This is a porn actress not exactly the brightest bulb in the room so don’t act so surprised.
I’m sure some lawyer is taking advantage of that and will try to get Stagliano to settle, though, and get a big contingency fee.
Stagliano will never ever settle – so you can rule that out
“This is a porn actress not exactly the brightest bulb in the room so don’t act so surprised.”
Holdek you are quick to speak down to porn stars. Why is she not the brightest bulb in the room because she does porn?
There are a lot of well educated, smart porn stars. Dr. Victoria Zdrok being the obvious go to with her multiple degrees, speaking 7 languages, etc. Of course there are many less known well educated girls in porn. Audrey Hollander who is probably best known for her double and penetration scenes, but did you know she has a college degree? There are lots of girls in porn who are like that.
So don’t judge this Katie Summers girl just because she’s in porn.
And in the end it all comes down to one thing, not her brain capacity or whatever lawyer she hired – it comes down to the fact that some man dropped his pants and took his dick out on set and he didn’t disclose his HIV positive status. None of the other bullshit people are rambling on about really matters.
When you are on a porn set and chose to drop your pants and pull your dick out, you have a responsibility to disclose your status as being HIV positive. Period. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
Actually, she did not accuse him of taking his dick out but so far you have no idea whether or not he disclosed anything. As he did not “perform” with her, some might reasonably argue that he had no statutory need to disclose anything but you can’t assume as much based on the version told by one side in a lawsuit.
The fact of the Katie Summers scene is that John’s dick was never out of his pants,
No part of his body, including his fingers, ever entered any part of her body.
I have never commented on whether or not John believed she knew his status. That will be something for the judge to hear at a later date.
On adultdvdtalk.com, June 19, 1:42am a poster by the name of tricia_devereaux wrote the following sentence. “And John believed Katie knew too.”
Maybe its a different tricia devereaux.Maybe its not.
If this is the same tricia devereaux perhaps the old addage is true, its much harder to remember the lies you tell than to remember the truth.
for the record I do not know if this is the same tricia devereaux. Only one person can clear this up, if she chooses to do so.
Kelli,
“Lol wanna know something funny, I always thought you automatically got HIV/AIDS if you have anal sex (with an actual penis) condom or no condom.”
These girls aren’t exactly turning down admissions to Ivy League schools. As Nina Hartley once said, it’s not a choice between porn or being a lawyer, it’s between porn or being a waitress.
Houstondon,
One point of clarification:
“Stagliano’s wife Karen told XBIZ Tuesday that he and the company dispute the allegations.
‘John and the company feel that he did not do anything with Katie Summers that would warrant having to inform her of his HIV status,’ Karen said.”
So it looks like she wasn’t informed.
But, I don’t think it was necessary.
Holdek, I took that statement as being separate from the question of whether he did inform her or not, not as the answer to it. As Karen/Tricia was not named in the lawsuit, holding her accountable for exactly what her husband knew or didn’t know seems unfair, her belief that the lawsuit is bogus reasonable given the circumstances provided by the actual scene as well as all those blogs by Katie Summers discussing the matter while worshiping her boyfriend.
Wow I mean come on now, she needs money! This does not make sense at all.
I had gone back and re-read my quotes as they were printed on XBiz and AVN, the ones where I was referring to the content of the scene.
You’re right, in the middle of a night last week, I did post on ADT.
So there you have it, John did believe that Katie knew.
Seeing as how that was written at 1:45 in the morning I can see how it might not be fresh in your memory.
Tricia, do you know if Katie was required to provide a current test before this shoot took place?
Thanks. Yes, I have a bad habit of going online when I can’t sleep, which is quite often.
As for your question, I haven’t asked, so I honestly don’t have an answer to your question.
Based on the times there has been a moratorim of shooting in this business, no one opposed solo toy scenes still being shot.
But I can’t comment on specific solo scenes.
Houstondon,
I agree with you that the lawsuit is bogus, but Karen is saying that they didn’t inform Summers because they didn’t need to.
Houstondon,
To explain: I can’t see why Karen would make that specific statement if John DID inform her.
Again, not that I think he needed to.
