The Sword has confirmed with multiple sources that, as of this morning, Austin Wilde has officially been released from his long term contract with Next Door Studios, which operated his eponymous site, AustinWilde.com. One source attributes the firing to Wilde’s refusal to perform in an orgy scene next week with several “gay for pay” models.
Details are still emerging (stay tuned to this post), but the conflicts between Wilde and some of Next Door’s notorious “gay for pay” exclusives haven’t exactly been a secret. Many will recall Wilde’s absence from other recent Next Door orgies, (Guys Next Door, the Christmas one, the “Rectodus Society“), which suggests a pattern of Wilde not wanting to be associated with certain Next Door productions (and good lord, can you blame him?).
After declining to appear in the orgy next week, Wilde was reportedly given an ultimatum that resulted in his firing. Wilde’s tweet from earlier this afternoon:
Wilde’s firing leaves no openly gay exclusives on the Next Door roster (Cody Cummings, Trystan Bull, Rod Daily, Marcus Mojo, and Samuel O’Toole all identify as straight or—groan—”bi-curious”). Wilde signed a three-year contract with Next Door in late 2010, but as one source put it to me this morning, “It’s a gay sex contract. Simply saying ‘bye’ could get him out of it.”
As with former Next Door exclusives who had their own sites but were fired and/or retired (Mason Wyler, Tommy D.), Wilde’s site will presumably remain operational (though never updated) and will serve as an archive for all his Next Door scenes.
Developing…
ADDED: Austin Wilde himself has confirmed his termination and the reason behind it, writing in the comments below:
Hey guys. Thank you for all of your support. I read through here and was shocked and pleased to read what I did. Including the couple harsh comments that in the end still supported me, thank you. After [Next Door President] Stephan blatantly threatened me on the phone today and then fired me for not wanting to shoot an orgy, this is nice. Clearly he’s not used to people still having some integrity in life and standing up for themselves.
I find it fascinating that studio will force an actor or complain about an actor that won’t work with gay-for-pay. However, if he says “no black people”…oh, that is preference. No, problem.. you don;t have to do your job… and we will cater to you.
Austin,
Sorry to hear about the letting you go from the studio, but I couldn’t blame you. You are a good looking guy and will always land on your feet. Maybe it is time for you to produce your own website from now on. I’m sure you will do very good at it.
Much love,
Roy
Wow, amazing web site design! Exactly how lengthy do you think you’re blogs for? you will be making posting seem effortless. The whole glimpse of the web site is fantastic, plus the information!
Next Door Studios has been offering a 50% discount on memberships the past few months. You can tell a studio is going down the toilet when they start offering discounts. I’ve never subscribed to them because I can pick and choose which of their videos I want to watch by downloading a torrent.
Marcus Mojo identifies as bisexual and is open about going out with guys before his current girlfriend. He was pretty open in SF for a couple years.
I coudl’ve sworn he was straight
Has anyone else noticed that there have been no NEW updates on http://www.trystanbull.com since May 27th? That would mean 2 updates have not happened. Has Trystan also left NDS?
If Cody Cummings can have “FIRM’ boundaries…why can’t Austin?
I can’t believe some gay men would let G4P guys treat to them in a homophobic way. I’d beat the crap out of anyone who is homophobic and hostile toward me. bunch of cowards.
The gay for pay issue seems to have many layers both for the studios and the performers. The motivations seem to be as numerous as the studios and stars themselves. It will be interesting to see how this issue continues to develop within the industry.
look you stupid fucks..its just porn you sign a contract ..do what they tell you like any other job..dont and be fired just like any other job duh!!!!
You knoow, I never realized that NDS imposed such restrictions on gay men, and catered to such lengths to the Str8 self important “divas”. I have rewatched many many of the NDS vids I have viewed over the years, and it is so obvious now that they are called out. Fuckin’ A. If Str8 dudes are going to be paid to be acting like gay dudes, they should be expected to act like a gay dude, in every which way, no holds barred. Damn. This just fuckin’ sucks. They shouldn’t even name themselves as a Gay Website. False advertising. Stupid. I have canceled my subscription.
Why didn’t he just agree to do the scene and pull a no-show?
Why not support Mr. Wilde in his decision? I’ve never seen a film with him in it but he’s in an industry where nothing is held back and almost everything about a person is on display. It takes a very brave person to be a pornstar as well as a gay man. Try focusing your criticisms on the issue of gay for pay and not on Mr. Wilde. He has the right to refuse anything he doesn’t want to consent to. Hopefully he can find a place with a company he feels comfortable with.
I’m wondering how bad will NDS’ membership and site traffic go down after this
I don’t see why he doesn’t just go work with Titan….he has the look they like, and as weird as the stuff Sagat is shooting for them is, it’s at least interesting to watch….and, there are few (if any) condescending G4P’ers as on-camera talent there.
Probably because Titan mostly is interested in hiring men for their scenes. Men who don’t go out and start twitter wars with other porn stars. Well then again, they have booked Jayden Grey for a few scenes lol so it’s possible.
Personally they’re both more Falcon/Jocks material rather than Titan/Colt material.
First of all, don’t get it at all why there r still people signing up for NDS? R these people gay? Don’t they even care about what the studio think of gay as themselves? I don’t want to be judgemental or extreme like some other guys, but there r always things called integrity and self-esteem. How can someone tolerate and give their hard-earned money to some studio which despises them? Get some self-respect and integrity, ppl.
I have no position against NDS firing Wilde. As horrible as they might be, NDS has every right to fire an employee if he refuses to perform and do his job. Wilde has his right to not to participate in the sex activity he doesn’t desire, so has NDS the right to terminate him because of this. This is a legal/contractual matter in terms of termination. However, it also shows how NDS lacks some basic respect for its own gay employee: why can Cody be hired for years without actually having been fucked even once? Also applies to Samuel and tyler and the list can go on.
Is the owner of NDS gay? If he is, sooooooo much shame on him. I bet he must have the least amount of self-respect.
Austin, move on. U kind of chose ur own destiny in 2010 when u decided to sign the contract despite some fans urged u not to. Not surprised at all to c this coming because I know u r a guy of integrity. But u made a mistake. Now suck it and take the fault on your own shoulder and move on. May seem like harsh and blunt words, that’s because I like and support u as always and wanna see the best in u.
Austin has written that he brought up the issue of not working with certain performers some time back and Stephan Sirard told him that wouldn’t be an issue, until it became one. The “contract” that these guys sign isn’t really worth the paper it is written on. Austin Wilde choose not to participate in a orgy scene with certain performers that he had already indicated to Sirard that he would not work with. Brody Wilde broke his contract in a much more blatant and big way by moonlighting with another studio (ChaosMen) AFTER he signed an exclusive contract, and the content he shot for Chaos Men was bareback (a big no no at NDS unless you are barebacking Mr. Sirard himself), yet he continues to shoot with them and his contract is still in place.
Most gay porn “exclusive” contracts are a joke. Jake Cruise tried them last year with disastrous results. Riley Price lasted a few weeks, and Robert Axel and Kevin Crows were moonlighting pretty much the entire time they were exclusives, including Robert Axel doing bareback grandpa porn.
Some of the attitudes here are hard to understand. Gay 4 pay is a joke, but too many gay men seem enthralled with the idea…I can’t help but think there’s a fair degree of self-loathing involved. What, if a gay guy is attracted to you, it’s no good…it has to be a straight guy? Is there a sense that if you can get a real straight guy interested, it somehow legitimizes you? Is there an undercurrent of thought that says a gay man’s interest is somehow not as important as currying favor with people who often claim to hate you? Even to the point of allowing them to use you for sex, however they wish?
And this makes you feel better, how?
And to the ones whose attitude is, “You’re a sex worker, do as you’re told and shut up.”, no, YOU shut up. Your lousy little membership fee doesn’t give you any rights to the bodies of the performers. You don’t like a studios work? Cancel then, and go elsewhere, but take your self-righteous faux outrage with you. Mr. Wilde’s ass, dick, balls, mouth, etc, are HIS. They belong to HIM. HE decides how they will be used, not YOU, and not this ex-employer of his.
Go away, please. Porn “fans” like you are the main reason that people who enjoy erotic entertainment have to hide the fact from most people. You give us a bad name. You’re strange and creepy, and have very odd attitudes. I’m so sorry that the adult industry tries so hard to cater to you, and what YOU want. I want to see and enjoy REAL erotica, not the sophomoric crap that appeals to the crowd who wack off in front of the computer, covered in Cheetos dust. And one day, it will happen. Some forward-thinking porn maker will realize there is a huge, untapped market of fans willing to pay for real, quality erotic material, then others will follow, and then you’ll have to go stalk Craigslist for your cheap, unimaginative “gonzo porn” with your fake G4P “stars” and the bad camera angles and zooms, and the audio that sounds like they’re using equipment they bought at a yard sale…
First off: Cheetos dust? Love it. Well played.
I want to say I completely agree with you. A performer has the right to tell a studio or director what they will and won’t do. In my experience, it’s models like Austin who have and stick to these standards that do well in the industry and aren’t used up in less than a year. Those kind often end up only later appearing in videos where 14 guys cum on their face while another shoves a bowling ball up his ass. (No offense if that’s what anyone is into.)
Speaking as a performer, I have more than once had to tell a director no to certain actions in a scene or no to a scene or even no to a studio because of what is required in the scene. Every time I’ve done so, the people on the other side respect me for standing to my standards and either adjust the scene, or find another model to do what I can’t/won’t do. The fact that Next Door responded as they did speaks very loudly about what has been said before. While this wasn’t specifically a gay for pay incident, they do, obviously, have preferential treatment for those models. (Imagine if they approached Cody Cummings with the same offer. He likely would not be fired for refusing such a scene.)
Austin is a smart and personable guy. I’m sure in the long run this will be good for him, and he will go on from here to do amazing things.
When gay men get their heads out of their asses NEXT DOOR STUDIOS will go out of business. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Stop obsessing over the “idea” of straight men having sex with other men. Stop obsessing over straight guys at all. We’re not in high school anymore. Love yourself. Love those who are like you. And lastly, stop paying for subscriptions to douche bag studios.
“Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher performers “perform” regardless if they consider themselves G4P, straight etc..they suck dik, eat ass and gets fucked..with passion”
This is the difference, the g4p models of NDS are very limited, they don’t kiss, don’t suck, don’t touch, some fuck as Tyler, Trystan and now James but no excitement. Vinny Castillo is other g4p exclusive should follow same way.
You don’t like gay sex don’t do gay porn, they should do just straight porn
When you are treated with respect you should return the favor.
When your are treated bad you should get even and then get the hell out of Dodge.
Wow, you ladies take your porn serious.
i have to agree with everyone here is is inspirational that austin and anthony took a stand and i do not want to get into this whole mess as i do not no the details.
to point out a fact real quick samuel otoole is not bi-curious he is bisexual and he wrote in one of his blogs he does not understand the gay4pay thing either and i dont want arguments with me its just me stating a fact.
but as for austin and anthoy i do wish them the best of luck i have not watched their scenes but i just find it very inspiring for them to take a stand for what they belive in :) .
you’re fine. no one’s gonna argue with you over that because Samuel O’Toole isn’t a Jackass
Of course no one’s gonna argue with you, because you are simply stating a fact. Facts are non-negotiable and you are always right. You never make mistake. Facts can’t be proven to be wrong, because when someone says that something is a fact, then it is a fact. End of story. And this is the Almighty writing here in my human incarnation. LOL. And I still consider Samuel to be a straight douchebag. And this is a fact.
Obviously, Austin Wilde’s #’s weren’t strong enough for the site to keep him reguardless of his refusal to work in a scene. Remember the response from Next Door when they were asked if they were gonna keep the latest model; Brody after he breached his contract and worked with Choasmen: ” He draws money for the site, no we are not gonna let him go” Guess Austin wasn’t drawing like he used to.
Actually Austin’s “numbers” were either at the top or near the top. More like he didn’t want to be Stephan’s bitch nor was he willing to fuck Stephan’s stretched out “hotdog down a hallway” asshole bareback for a few hundred dollars and a little more leverage at NDM. I don’t think even Austin Wilde would do Gay 4 Troll.
LMAO at some of the assholes in here bashing NDS but praising Sean Cody, Corbin Fisher, etc when these companies have the same damn description: Straight men. If you’re going to boycott one, boycott them all. BUT the thing is, they are putting the garbage out there because the self -loathing gay men out there are subscribing. I’m over gay porn. Who needs to pay for it when it’s on myvidster, xtube, redtube, etc? Plus, there are gay chat to chat sites like camtogays and manroulette…. where REAL gay men masturbate for each other. Cost of gay porn for me = $0. I can’t complain.
I think the point is generally that if you’re going to do gay porn, a prerequisite is a willingness to have sex with other men. At NDS that is not the case
Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher performers “perform” regardless if they consider themselves G4P, straight etc..they suck dik, eat ass and gets fucked..with passion i might add..that is why i will be a recurring member until that changes..so your argument is null and void,,but it seems you like the so-called straight dudes that just lay back with limp diks , which you consider stellar performers..i shudder to think what you must be like in bed…LoL
The homophobia there was palpable.
I remember one of the earlier Austin Wilde’s scenes (with Parker London and Rod Daily) and how offended I was by the final comment Rod Daily made (and that was left there in the video) of how ¨Gross¨ was being covered in cum.
I’m glad Wilde left that place.
umm ok…A LOT of gay men think its gross to be covered with cum(including me). your example is a stupid one.
That’s funny. I don’t remember him being grossed out by the loads he took in his mouth at Lucas Entertainment lol. And I think one of those loads was from Michael Lucas himself. Even I would say “gross” to that, and I love a nice load in my mouth. But not one from that botoxed skeleton
Samwise is obviously a shill for NDS.
It looks Austin Wilde got out from a bad place. Thank goodness. Now he can go work for a gay porn company that hires only gay guys willing to have sex in front of the camera in exchange for lots of money. Godspeed, Austin.
By the way…
All you gay4payers haterz remind me of those guys who look for love on grindr and craigslist. It’s a pretty sad situation, if you ask me. You know, they have a word for you guys: lesbians.
Haterz? That tells me all I need to know about you. Cupcake if you think his leaving was just about G4P then you are either comprehension challenged or willfully ignorant. Considering two other exclusives have contacted him privately about getting out of their contracts, I would say it goes way beyond G4P. Austin Wilde has no reputation of being a diva nor does he have issues with causing problems on a set. Not wanting to work with performers who do little to nothing sex wise and are difficult to work with doesn’t make him difficult or a martyr. He has support from a number of performers including “G4P” Austin Zane.
Just because you think sucking on a limp dicked lifeless G4P performer is hot doesn’t mean Austin Wilde or anyone else does. Also, if you don’t get why a hard working popular openly gay performer might have an issue with being treated second class at a gay porn studio while lazy, drug addled “straight” guys get preferential treatment then I think you are beyond help.
samwise you remind me of the fat,creepy, closeted old men who are busted for sucking dick at a truckstop, park, or troom. Or the bitter old queen at the end of the bar that no one wants to talk to.
LMAO James Huntsman, in light of all this, tweeted “I’m heterosexual”. Good luck with that, James. Nothing like battening down the hatches as the kingdom crumbles around you. Maybe he can go back to high school and bully the same “fags” who he ‘lets’ suck him off after school. Oh, he’s like 30. I guess he’d have to go back to college instead of high school. Me wonders if he went to college. Hell, me wonders if he finished high school.
I think the fact that these guys won’t suck dick or kiss a guy but have no issue with kissing a female model that ate shit on film (Cherry Torn) tells you how fucked up Next Door Studios is.
I really like your touch for detail…lol.
oh,how the mighty have fallen ..
True, we don’t know the details…..but I’m pretty sure when people sign these contracts, they have already announced what they WILL & WILL NOT do. If this was something they already knew he was against from the start, then WTF are you doing firing him over that?
A better question is why is Mr. Principled working for a company like that?
Oh, for the love of God! I can’t believe the posts that imply he’s a ‘bad employee’ cause he doesn’t want to participate in certain scenes. Just because he is a sex worker, it doesn’t mean he has to do anything and everything his employer demands. That said, his employer is also free to fire him, but this is a stupid business decision. I’m not familiar with Mr Wilde’s work, but I see him being discussed a lot. There IS interest, and everything I’ve read leads me to believe he is a competent performer. So, his employer has a hissy-fit cause he won’t do something he isn’t comfortable with? Fuck that employer then.
Mr. Wilde? Fuck ALL employers. Go into business for yourself. The porn industry is on life-support, being slowly strangled by the very people making it. But hot guys being sexy will never go out of style…so cut them off and promote your bad self…:-)
I’m really happy for him, and Anthony too. Good riddance to that very creepy scene. Hope they go on to get lots of work with decent studios
and here come the defenders of the Gay4Pay guys. hilarious. look, just because people don’t believe Gay4Pay guys are actually “STRAIGHT” (because, by definition of the word, they’re NOT), doesn’t mean we’re saying they’re gay. they simply AREN’T STRAIGHT. being “straight” and having consensual sex with men are mutually exclusive, by definition of the word straight. ask any of your straight friends or brothers and they will all tell you the same thing. why? because they are STRAIGHT. maybe Gay4Pay guys aren’t totally gay but they aren’t totally straight either, so shut up about that shit already. we’re not saying they’re gay. we’re saying they’re not straight.
to the Gay4Payers defense, a lot of us get it. sure…most of them aren’t that intelligent and we were all raised in the same culture for the most part, so we understand the compulsion to say you’re “straight”. there’s this whole reward system built into saying you’re straight. heterosexuality and masculinity are linked via the word “straight” which guys then wear like some badge of honor. saying they’re “straight” is them saying something about themselves, about who they are, about their worth. it’s them putting on that badge of honor. we really don’t expect them to have enough insight to do much else except say they’re “straight” because it’s what so many guys, Gay4Pay or not, do. we accept it and we snicker under our breath because we know that when they use the word “straight” they mean something COMPLETELY different than our straight friends and our straight brothers. it becomes this huge inside joke where we’re like “suuuuuure, you’re straight, just keep getting naked and having sex with guys and you can keep saying you’re straight” just like i’m sure their friends and family who find out what they’re doing are all thinking “suuuuuuure, you’re straight even though you’re making gay porn.” at some point the word just becomes pointless and, yes defenders of Gay4Payers, we all understand that. most of us are willing to let them live in their world of denial. it’s cute.
where we draw the line is the entitlement and privilege some of these guys then take on. as if them claiming to be straight entitles them to something different simply because they claim to be straight. as if the fact they claim to be “straight” somehow excuses them from having to do their JOB. because, you know what folks, porn is a fucking JOB. how many straight studios would let women prance in and act like princesses and set boundaries about what they will or won’t do and dictate scenes? the studio would say oh ok, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do…you just have to leave so we can find a girl who will do her job. could you imagine if straight porn was filled with women who refused to actually have sex with men? to reciprocate in any way or do their job? they’d never get away with it. the same guys who are Gay4Pay and have these bullshit women would look at that lame ass straight porn and be like WTF why isn’t that girl …. that fucking porn star …. doing her JOB? find another girl. exactly, Gay4Pay dude, ech-fucking-xactly. do your fucking job. shit or get off the pot.
at some point, it becomes an insult. oh…ok, you’re so “straight” (which we know you’re not) that you won’t do anything to another guy? oh ok…well then this is where we’re going to call bullshit. remember back when we said it was cute that you kept claiming to be “straight” (which you’re not), well, it’s no longer cute. you’ve taken the joke too far. you’re not straight or you wouldn’t be in this position – in this job – in the first place. and if you REALLY believe you’re too “straight” to actually have sex with another guy then where in the fucking world do you get off thinking you get to be in GAY porn? shit or get off the pot. it’s really that simple.
and, yes, it’s homophobic and heterosexist. it creates and maintains this hierarchy of gay sex where certain things are “less gay” (ie less of a threat to masculinity) than others. this is why (and this will be lost on you defenders of Gay4Payers) you see Gay4Payers tossing around homophobic slurs at each other, making fun of each other if they bottom, suck dick, etc. they do this shit in PUBLIC. the fact that Gay4Payers think this is ok isn’t surprising. it’s part of the same process that causes themselves to identify as straight in the first place. the fact that DEFENDERS of Gay4Payers are willing to look the other way simply because they think the guy is hot is what’s sick and disgusting. it leads a lot of us to believe the issue runs a lot deeper for the defenders. it runs back to when we were all growing up and you were made to feel inferior to straight guys so now that you get to be in the midst of their sexuality, you’re suddenly willing to overlook the fact that they are acting like a bunch of entitled, privileged princesses. and do you know WHY they are acting like that? because you let them get away with it…because you think they’re “hot”…and because it plays into your sick pathology from way back when straight dudes who you thought were hot would call you a “faggot” and made you feel inferior. sure … you’re going to say that’s wrong. but then why are you giving your money to guys who are …. whaddya know …. treating you like you’re INFERIOR?
put it this way – what if austin was fired because he refused to do a scene with a performer who will let black guys suck him but won’t reciprocate with black guys because they’re black. he’ll let a black guy suck his dick but he won’t suck a black guy’s dick? what if he was vocal about that…that was his “limit”. sure, a black guy can suck him off, but he won’t do anything to any black guys….ever. would we be like “oh…ok, that’s cool. we respect your limits. now, austin go suck his dick. no? you refuse? well you should respect his limits.” if you are in the group of people who think that scenario would be ok well then….there’s not much anyone could say to you. if you’re a defender of Gay4Payers who think that kind of situation would be disgusting then at some point hopefully you realize it’s the same exact kind of situation.
umm let the church say Amen?
Cody, have you ever thought of being a novelist?
samwise, have you ever considered not being so pathetically fucked up?
You bring up many good points. But I had to laugh at the part where the g4p guys tell their friends and family they’re str8, just doing gay porn. Imagine those same people nodding and thinking, “yeah, right. Keep telling yourself that.” The g4p dude thinks everyone believes him. Funny, and oh so pathetic.
I’m guessing at some point to stay afloat…NDS will start infusing bareback scenes :-)
Why are people still bitching about GFP? Who cares? Its acting. Granted there are some that are bad at the acting, but as long they got a hot ass with a nice dick and beautiful body I don’t care if they like to fuck goats when they’re not being filmed.
If Marcus Mojo wants to bang his girlfriend when he’s behind closed doors, let him, so long as when he gets in front of the camera he’s taking a dick and it looks hot. When I watch Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher, I know she’s not really Thatcher or a conservative politician from the 80’s. Knowing that its not real doesn’t diminish the quality of the material. Suspend your disbelief for the minutes it takes you to cum all over your laptop.
Its a kin to gay rights in this country… we don’t want politicians in our bedrooms telling us who and what we can do. Why can we not afford the same liberties we seek to gay adult performers.
If Mr Wilde wants to leave because of it, I think its silly, but I’ll respect his decision and thank him for the material he’s given me…. especially the scenes with Anthony Romero…. yummmm!
Honey it’s A LOT MORE then about gay for pay. It’s about how OPENLY gay performers are treated behind the scenes at that company and some of the shady shit that is going on there. Sorry but do you even watch anything form NDM? Most of it is dull, lifeless, and there is little to no passion with the performers. Sorry but I don’t think it’s hot seeing limp dicks, lifeless/stoned bottoms, and simulated sex. Austin was their biggest asset and one of the few of “exclusives” that was actually turning a profit for that company. The rest have been a disappointment financially and as mentioned throughout this thread get preferential treatment despite putting in lackluster performances and not showing up contracted webcam performances. I guess if you are “straight” and are willing to fuck Stephan raw then you will get preferential treatment at NDM.
Estelle, how exactly do you know all this? Are you the NDS accountant?
Uh oh looks like the Santa Rosa/Rohnert Park mafia trolls are back. You can’t weasel out of this one sweeties.
Oh please lady… can’t you come up with a better response? Well, you’re certainly not the person who writes copy for the NDS website, that’s for sure.
Does it have anything to do with testing?
All mine! All mine! Muahh ha ha ha! >:D
If only he could get rid of that rotten “boyfriend,” then the circle would be complete, and Austin would be a free man!
OK – Austin Wilde got shafted (not literally) by NDS and many men are justifiably outraged. Memberships have been cancelled, messages of support for Austin have been sent, site traffic to NDS is down. How do we keep the punishing NDS till they reform their policies or Stefan removes himself from the business? Folks have short memories and every day young men mature and get their first credit cards so in a few months time, NDS will see their mistreatment of Austin as a minor blip on their balance sheet.
Austin Wilde thinks work discrimination against people with a different sexual orientation than him is “INTEGRITY?”
He’s a fucking bigot. It’s homosexism.
I’d like to know what’s wrong with gay-for-pay co-stars, especially guys like Marcus Mojo who are so good at it?
Wilde’s attitude is NO DIFFERENT than employers all across America who fire employees for being gay, lesbian or transgendered.
Kudos to Sirard.
IF WILDE ISN’T GOING TO BE A PROFESSIONAL, WILDE SHOULD EXIT THE INDUSTRY.
How do you know that what he objected to was having sex with a G4P model? It’s stated that he didn’t want to shoot an orgy. Not sure if he objects to orgies in general, or some of the dumber aspects of the dumb, homophobic, misogynistic NDS orgies, or something about this particular orgy. And if the thing about this particular shoot involved a certain straight man with a very unusual hobby (for a straight man) he may not have been objecting to the straightness of it but to being made the center of yet another of these hoaxes. Or maybe he just doesn’t like being treated like a sex toy.
I’m pretty sure he’s said (repeatedly) that the issue isn’t necessarily being gay for pay. It’s being gay for pay and then refusing to participate in “gay” activities. If you’re shooting GAY porn, getting paid to do GAY porn, then you should expect to 1– kiss another man; 2– get your dick sucked; 3– suck a dick; 4– get rimmed; 5– rim someone else; 6– get fucked, in the ass, in one or more positions; 7– fuck another man, in the ass, in one or more positions. Am I missing anything?
You’re missing the part about NDS policy of paying for what it gets. If a G4P doesn’t want to do gay things, then he doesn’t have to. Much like, if NDS doesn’t want to pay said G4P any more than it has to, then it has that right.
umm who’s side are you on? If you’re gay, I feel sorry for you and Gavin and everyone like you because sure they’re hot, and sure they could fuck you or let you suck them off, but after that, they’ll claim they’re straight in a heartbeat and act like they never did shit with you or like they don’t know you. and then when you’re alone they’ll do it again and tell you everything you wanna hear as long as they get what they want. don’t be stupid. you’re better than that. (I hope)
I’m on the side of someone who enjoys watching porn. So you know, I don’t feel the need to label the performers.
Samwise, theyre the ones labeling themselves. Thats kinda the point in all this. Not only do they label themselves they then turn around and use the label as some kind of badge of honor/constant reminder on top of using homophobic slurs. If NDS just made their models shut the fuck up AND do their job then this would all be a non issue.
Homosexism? Making up words is a bad move.
how bout this buddy, when NDS so-called “straight” models stop being homophobic by 1) refusing to have sex with men in GAY porn 2) using homophobic slurs and insults toward each other and others in public and 3) announcing how “straight” they think they are every chance they get like it’s some kind of badge of honor against the plague that is gay sex…then maybe….just maaaaaaaaaaaay you get to use the word “homosexism”. since you obviously work for NDS i’m pretty sure this is going right over your head.
besides, if more NDS guys WERE like mojo, we wouldn’t BE in this predicament, now would we?
If more NDS guys had a “tool” like Mojo’s, there would be no NDS.
Obviously a shill for NDS. LOL
Found this on another blog, but I couldn’t agree more:
If he had the integrity everyone keeps saying he has then he wouldn’t have signed up with NDS from the start. He got in bed with a studio that is known for its preferred treatment of its straight models, yet he signed that exclusive contract anyways. He didn’t have a problem for years doing scenes, then he goes diva and refuses to do what they’re paying him to do. How about finding someone to buy his contract out or actually finishing it out then quit??? Have a little professionalism. It doesn’t matter if they asked him to be a used by a straight guy or put on a rabbit suit and beat off. That is what happens when you sell your body for money. Everyday at the office isn’t always gonna be sunshine and rainbows.
And Sounds like they did him a favor by firing him and his bf. So why did he decided to air NDS dirty laundry? Another totally unprofessional move. Why would anyone hire him now if they know he likes to run his mouth and be spiteful. Shame he’s such a hot guy.
I cannot, in good conscience, support someone who refuses to suck Tyler Torro’s dick. I just can’t.
But if Torro refuses to suck yours, it’s A-OK????
Loki, yes. All I would care about is servicing him. Is that so hard to understand?
Nope, not hard to understand. You’re a pathetic, self-loathing asshole.
Calm down, girl. No need to get those panties into a twist. Hey, I have a question… when you see a hot guy, do you say to yourself, “Ooo, I hope he’s not a breeder. Because if he is, I refuse to suck his dick.” ?
When a NORMAL person sees a hot guy i doubt theyre thinking “hey i hope he’ll LET me suck him off without any form of reciprocation whatsoever that would make the act be actual SEX.” otherwise youre just letting someone use your mouth to essentially jack off with. So, yes, in a roundabout way, i do hope theyre not a “breeder”. So we can have…sex. Not some form of sick hetero-worship. Twisted, i know.
I’m sorry, but for me, I love worshiping a guy, but it’s either 50/50 or none at all. you can be a complete top and that’s fine but if you want all this shit to be done to you and ain’t even gonna have the nerve to kiss me at least, FUCK THAT!!!
much ado about nothing…simple don’t care and certainly do NOT buy the gay4pay excuse
I agree with most of what has been said here and maybe there is a behind the scenes story where Austin had been saying to the owner over a period of time to bring in more gay talent and he was not being heard. Then he puts his foot down because he doesn’t care to be in a scene with a bunch of gay-for-payers because just maybe he had already said he was not going to do that any further yet ownership ignored his comments because he was an employee. Austin stood his ground and said enough was enough and the ownership said you work for me and if you don’t do this you are fired so we see the end result. Austin will be fine, he has a strong following but it seems to be safe to say that he will not be doing scenes with so called gay-for-payers in the future but time will tell.
I just wish Marcus Mojo would admit that he is at least bi because he might be a gay-for-payer but out of all the guys over there claiming to be straight he doesn’t seem to have a problem enjoying sex with a guy. I know some of that is acting but over time there has to be some enjoyment there as well. All the other guys at NDS that claim to be straight should be kicked to the curb because they suck at what they do.
Why would a studio making porn try to force a performer to work with people they don’t like, or perform things they don’t want to? I’d think that would just give you a half-assed final product, no? Isn’t it better to find out a particular model’s, erm…talents and work with them? I’ve seen plenty of porn where you’d almost think someone off-camera was holding a gun to the performers…not very hot guys.
Well, this is 2012. Stupid business decisions…they’re not just for Wall Street anymore.
Team Sean Cody, Bel Ami, Corbin Fisher (the site with lots to offer) i keep my membership re-occuring always pleasantly surprised..i will NEVER subscribe to NDS…can’t believe they’re still in business.
Sirard is a true and tested sleaze bag who convincingly lies to his group of models with promises of fortune that never pan out. Why some of these models stick it out until it is too late is a wonderment to me. Google Stephan Sirard Montreal and read about the murdered model (female) and the two American male model/dancers that disappeared after falling to their deaths in a quarry while running from a cab to avoid payment… All the while Sirard is in another cab in the way to the same strip joint.
I wonder if Sirard’s neighbors on the hill know about the enterprise he is operating out of his home? At the same time I wonder of the local authorities know about the enterprise? Does he have a business license to operate out of his home with the dual addresses? Are film permits required?
All valid questions that need to be answered… Soon!
Anybody else notice the sudden “dumping” of NDS DVD’s on the market at the rate of several each week? I hear that the membership numbers are down and Sirard needs to make up the difference. Unfortunately the DVD’s are not moving and it is only a matter of time before that dries up too.
News at 11.
If the membership numbers were truly down that would be great news indeed. There is no studio that would deserve it more to be sucked up into oblivion. Do you have any concrete numbers?
NDS only has one thing going for them, extremelly hot and in a little way diverse actors. But its gone way downhill with overexposure of Gay 4 pay performers. Besides Samuel O’Toole, Mojo or Daily, it seems like none of the others can even touch another man but appear in countless performances, (Huntsman, Torro, and seriously Cody Cummings, it was very very sad watching him pretend to have sex with another man, anyone who paid to watch that performance should get a full refund as it was pathetic false advertising) I hope the site goes well under without Wilde now. Get out while you can OToole
they could’ve gone on a gay torrent site for that shit (in reference to the cody cummings fake sex shows)I too hope after this some of these guys perform a much needed exodus on the worthless studio that is Next Door. especially the gay ones.
I leave the apartment for one day…one day, and you finally come to your senses. Here’s to a happier life for both of us.
Please stop calling Next Door a studio, its like calling the Canadian killer a ‘porn star’….he was in porn but not a star as Next Door is in porn but is not a studio (they work has zero soul)
Finally he left that disgusting studio! Of course it was horrible that he joined them in the first place but for me he just returned from the land of the undead because I refused to even notice him in anything he did for this douchebag Sirard. And I like it how his twitter account is practically flooding over with support for him. Not just the usual suspects like Sam Colt and Chris Porter who have voiced their dismay at NDS practices before, but also from Marc Dylan, AustinZane, TLA Video and even Ty Roderick seemed to wish him the best. So welcome back to gay porn, Austin!!
I cannot believe how homophobic the USA is, so much so that it is also prevelelent in the GAY PORN industry.
Of all environments, you would expect it to “gay positive”.
There is so much more to gay porn than only having “hot” guys.
But I guess NDS and most of its employees want to get away with getting gay porn level pay for straight porn quality work.
just watch: he shows up on cfselect in the next couple of months.
So he can have *bareback sex* with straight men?? I don’t think Austin wants to do either of those things.
It’s not about their sexuality; it’s about whether or not they will perform. I could hate a gay man just as much as a “straight” man for his unwillingness to perform.
Good for Austin. It just proves where Stephen ranks his gay performers, even the ones that apparently are marketable enough to have their own site and Fleshjack toys. He has NEVER asked Cody, Tyler Torro, James Huntsman or any the other “straight” performers to even touch a dick much less film a whole scene with multiple people they don’t want to work with. Yet, the only actual gay performer with his own site can’t chose who he doesn’t want to work with? How can that not be a homophobic double standard? Over the last year Austin and Anthony have worked way more gay events than the gay4payers and Austin was one of the few that actually did his live shows unlike Torro, Cody, Mojo, and Huntsman who often never even showed up or claimed “tech problems”.
I was sickened to hear Donnie signed with them but I’d love to hear what Paul Wagner has to say about Stephen trying to bully Austin into doing this scene since Paul is actually supposed to he the director of production.
tech problems: NO WEED DUDE!
No, Paul is just as horrid and mean. He’s part of the reason why I won’t be there soon either.
Paul tucked his tail between his legs like a frightened dog and ran to Stephan when I originally emailed him refusing to shoot such an atrocity. It’s all a joke. But the joke is soon to be on them.
Would love to know what this “atrocity” is that could have outraged you to the point of quitting. I imagine it wasn’t the first distasteful pairing they had imposed on you or Anthony (see: Shadowkiss) so what was particularly wrong about that one?
Umm, that’s kind of part of his job I’m guessing. If you refuse to do a scene with certain actors, then Stephen would have found out about it eventually whether you or someone else told him. The end result would have been the same. As they say, don’t shoot the messenger. It’s your responsibility to make sure you still have a job at the end of the day. You could have quit any time you wanted to but you didn’t.
If Paul Wagner gets fired and/or quits NDS, he will be welcome back with open arms more than you simply because he isn’t online all the time moaning and stirring shit with other people and actors.
Austin My only question (with probably another follow up question(s)) what the fuck took you so long?!?!?!? like really the only two people I know of in NDS that’s gay are you and boyfriend because any other ones that they have I haven’t seen get any work as far as checking through thesword and queermenow. and I thought you two would’ve left by now especially after that bullshit shadowkiss. speaking of which, will Anthony be making this Exodus with you because I see no logical reason for him to stay in the first place. And I have a feeling that this “orgy” video would’ve been a little similar to that Falcon/Next Door abortion and involved pandering to their number 1 asshat. am I anywhere near the bulllseye on that one?
Not sure if you guys read the article above or not, but I got “fired.” I didn’t QUIT. I was fired for refusing to do a scene. I’m not sure if you guys are familiar with out sex works, but unless you’re holding someone down and raping them, you can’t force someone to have sex. The “issue” came when someone actually held their ground and didn’t act like another one of their puppets that they’re used to. They aren’t used to someone having control of their own career and putting in their two cents. Either way, this couldn’t have happened at a better time and I’m more than happy.
I don’t care either way. Fired, Quit, it doesn’t matter. just to me, I’m like “why did it take so long though?”
A smart studio would pick him up. Those still exist, right?
Just more publicity drama which will soon be found out not to be true just like the numerous Wilde/Romero break-ups of the past. . Check, please…..
Hey guys. Thank you for all of your support. I read through here and was shocked and pleased to read what I did. Including the couple harsh comments that in the end still supported me, thank you. After Stephan blatantly threatened me on the phone today and then fired me for not wanting to shoot an orgy, this is nice. Clearly he’s not used to people still having some integrity in life and standing up for themselves. Then again, coming from someone that pays models a couple hundred dollars and objects like watches and iPads to fuck him bareback, I guess it’s not much of a shock.
Again, thank you guys. And just wait for what I have coming up ;)
Good luck, ignore the Please Stop… comment, just another douchy comment.
Why shocked? I don’t see anyone that was flatout mean or trolling on here. And also, our opinions of you joining NDS studios have been made very clear over and over again in many posts here at The Sword, and you have previously responded to those posts as well. So there is nothing to be shocked about. I guess you thought that we were all going to welcome you back with open arms as if you joining NDS in the first place never happened.
Nevertheless, I still find you quite attractive and I’m sure that you and Anthony will find plenty of work together. And if you go and open a site together, then good luck to the 2 of you. Just promise me that the site won’t be as sleazy and creepy as the Maverick Men lol
Indeed. That’s part of why we were (are) so bothered that people like Wilde, Wagner or Wright would join those rascals in spite of the multiple warnings about their ethics and lame casting.
It is because they were all hot performers with a good “career” going that it makes no sense and that it upsets us. If it was performers we didn’t care about or whose career was dying, we’d be annoyed but perfectly happy to ignore it.
As they say we care when good people make bad choices, not when random people make bad choices.
I understand and agree with some of the “too little too late” comments. Here is a tweet Austin just posted:
“Coming from someone that pays his models with objects(watches, ipads, etc) to bareback him, it doesn’t mean much”
As much as I hate to admit it, but doesn’t that pretty much confirm what nutjob Spencer Fox was saying about Stefan and NDS last fall? Austin never really said much in the way of defending some of the next door practices, but Anthony sure did and got very defensive about what a great company Next Door Studios was. Also as cunty and mean spirited as his blog was, Rob Romoni alluded to some of what was going on at NDS.
He is a smart guy, and hopefully he kept all correspondence, contracts, etc… Stefan would be wise not to challenge or try and sabotage him.
Kind of ironic that this article appears adjacent to an ad for AustinWilde.com. Not sure NDS will be thrilled with that placement!
Does this mean no more happy 4th of July weekly live show?
Since NDS recently took Cameron Foster when he jumped ship at Falcon maybe they’ll launch a site for him, that is if they can get the cameronfosterxxx domain from Jake Cruise.
So wait, hasn’t Austin ALREADY had sex with numerous gay4pay actors at NDS??? Like Mojo, Brandon Lewis, Johnny Torque…. So why stop now??
Why people continue to give their money to the owner of Next Door is beyond me. He is a shady, immature, manipulative human being. He doesn’t care what he puts out as long as he gets your money. So do the industry and the gay community a favor and stop supporting this company.
How long will it be before Stefan starts spreading rumors about Austin and Anthony. Zach don’t you mean exclusives that have their own websites? Donny, Austin, Anthony, and Paul Wagner are listed as next door exclusives and are openly gay. The rest of the “exclusive” roster is flat out depressing.
http://nextdoorstudios.com/NDS/about-us/exclusives
I wonder how “proud gay man” Tucker Scott will spin this one? Who will they replace Austin and Anthony with? None of the models at Pacific Blue would be worthy of replacing Austin or Anthony (BTW the mass departure of a number of Pacific Blue models in the last year would be a good story in itself).
I have a feeling that due to their work together, he is also no longer welcome at Falcon and Raging Stallion. But I could be wrong. I respect him for putting his foot down, but that’s not saying much since most of my respect for him was lost long ago for his continued work with the studio.
Amen.
Let’s not make him a hero here. He is right and good for him he saw the light but integrity or standing up for gays in porn would have meant not getting involved with those people in the first place.
Better late than never. But still very very very late. And probably too late indeed to get back the buzz he had before he signed with them.
I believe he left Raging Stallion for NDS awhile back.
It would be pretty fucked up if Austin Wilde can’t find work b/c of this but Spencer Fox still books jobs.
ok I have to say that I usually bash on Austin and Anthony for being jerks…but this is a great move by Austin. I hate NDS with a passion.
Finally, a gay man who would not back down to a pathetically bad studio like “next door”. I really think that if you have sex with a guy on camera or off you are not straight. Rod Daily only perfoms gay scenes now as does marcus mojo but cody cummings is an arrogant bastard who refuses to kiss or touch another man because he wants people to believe that he is curious about sex with another man. Well, cody how about sucking another guy’s dick or rimming a guy’s ass or better getting fucked. Good job, austin. Go to a company that won’t give you bullshit and respect that gay for pay sucks ass.
Finally! Can’t wait to see what he does on his own without having to deal with any of that NDS bullshit.
On the other hand, Donny Wright apparently signed to be an exclusive for them.
Do these pornstars even bother to look up who they are signing with (and yes, that includes Austin W. I obviously support his stance but let’s be clear. He was warned of who he was getting himself associated with so serves him right) or are they just desperate?
It says he signed the contract almost two years ago…that was a long time ago and way before all the G4P became so prevalent (it was still there, but nothing like it is now…and at least they had Mason and truly bi Tommy at the time). It probably was a good deal at the time.
Nah.
Scroll back the archives and you will see what the commenters all told him when he announced this.
Everybody knew about NDT, gay-for-pays and asshole methods already back then.
He was warned and his answer was … flippant.
Again, I am on his side but he is not getting sympathy from me on the underlying issue. He knew what he was getting himself into. He thought he knew better or the money was worth it. Well, then don’t come complaining now.
But best wishes in his future endeavors.
Who says he’s “complaining” now!? He wanted out, so he got out. Seems like a straw that broke the camel’s back situation. Also, we don’t know the deal of this contract. Why should he have to do orgies with a bunch of guys for a scene that probably wasn’t even going to be released on his own site? Who knows what the stipulations (if there even were any) of his contract were but if you have your own site you shouldn’t have to go do gangbang orgies for other sites.
I didn’t say he was complaining so much that if he tries to, he won’t get my sympathy.
And we don’t know what the problem is but I doubt it is because he doesn’t want to shoot an orgy scene for “another” website. I am pretty sure that’s not how their studio works – the cross-pollination is part of the brand and their contract must reflect that since ALL their performers appear on many of their sub-sites – and I prefer the version where he was upset about the lameness of the scenes they put him in and of his co-stars(that he could have seen coming but as I said earlier, a valid complaint) than a scenario in which he is a diva who only wants to shoot scenes for the website that bears his name (under the NDS umbrella). Sorry but he comes off better in the first scenario.
And most probably, from his tweet, the bottom line is that they probably were other issues. Didn’t get along with so-and-so or whatever. If it was just about taking a stance he would have done it long ago.
But I don’t buy the diva idea either.
Well, thats good timing! I cancelled my subscription yesterday, Its been obvious for some time he wasn’t happy! Anthony tweeted last week [why dont i ever get to perform with any hot guys] not exact words . I suspect they’ll have their own site sometime in the future!
