Smoothing a Few Ruffled Phoenix Feathers

Some people have lapses in judgments, others are unintentionally ambiguous. Which is the case here?... I have no idea. Only a few weeks ago, Jason Sechrest (of JasonCurious.com) made a questionable comment on his blog and many other affiliates including Gay.com, Odyssey Magazine, and Porn Confidential (us):


"Well, it's a good thing they agreed to letting him go!Because from what I'd heard, Phoenix had already been quietly shooting with other companies for the past month or so."

On behalf of Damon Phoenix, both Jeremy Spencer and David Forest have sent e-mails to Jason Sechrest requesting a retraction IF the comment suggested any foul play on Damon Phoenix’s part. Jason replied that he WAS NOT suggesting that quietly referred to any betrayal by Damon towards Adonis. Jason replied that the word quietly, instead, was used to reference the studios act of refraining from releasing the names of models being used in those aforementioned projects. Technically, then, all models in those projects were quietly shooting. I can’t honestly say I know what Jason meant or not. He may be a dear friend of mine, but I can’t get into his head anymore than I can get into my own. Either way, David Forest, in an e-mail he sent to both Damon and Jeremy Spencer, believes Jason will do whatever is right; in that e-mail, he did call Jason “family” after all, and I know many people view all four of these people in the same manner.

Whatever the intentions were behind Jason’s comment were, the ambiguity of the wording does require that some clarification be made, and as a friend of them all, I’ve offered to do so. So, here’s everything explained:

As a long time friend of Damon Phoenix and the Adonis Family, I know for a fact that Damon was not involved in any foul play whatsoever. As pertaining to the aforementioned projects that Damon was involved with while still a contract exclusive for Adonis, Damon had always asked for permission from Jeremy before participating in any project. Damon has also complied with Adonis’ conditions. Here’s an actual excerpt from Jeremy’s actual e-mail to Jason Sechrest:


"Not only did Damon have my permission to work with those other companies, he had my blessing. Adonis wasn't doing anything at the time and the boy has to make money, right? So he came to me every time and asked permission - my only stipulations were that he get paid his rate and that he be billed as an Adonis Exclusive."

I have known Damon for well over a year now, and we’ve bonded as best friends do. Damon has always been an upfront and honest person. Not only is he playful and sexy, he’s exceptionally considerate and honest. He is not only an amazing Adult Film Model, he’s a wonderful human being, and that is the truth.
