I’ve never uttered fighting words in my life about anybody that I’ve worked with ever. So I hope I’ve discussed that in a way that makes sense.Īnd I just want to say one thing, because you’ve allowed me this opportunity: it’s so painful for people to keep talking about this ‘catfight’ - a fight, a fight, a fight. And we thought he handled it beautifully - that she was there and she was present - and that was kind of nice for all of us and, I think, the audience. But we felt comfortable moving on without her and without that part because we knew what Michael wanted to do.

We were enormously reliant upon Michael addressing it and figuring out how to talk about the absence of Samantha, because we have such affection for Samantha, and we wouldn’t have affection for Samantha - I mean, it’s all tied up in Kim, so you can make the natural inference that it’s there because of Kim’s work. You’ve got to listen to somebody, and if they’re publicly talking about something and it doesn’t suggest it’s some place they want to be, or a person they want to play, or an environment in which they want to be, you get to an age where you’re like, ‘Well, we hear that.’
That’s not ‘slamming’ her, it’s just learning.
But we did not ask her to be part of this because she made it clear that that wasn’t something she wanted to pursue, and it no longer felt comfortable for us, and so it didn’t occur to us. She was a huge contributor to the success, I think, you know? Her portrayal of that role was wonderful, and it filled out everything, right? There were four points on the picture, and they were all important. And there just isn’t anyone else who’s ever talked about me this way, so it’s very painful. And I’ve spent a lot of years working really hard to always be decent to everybody on the set, to take care of people, to be responsible to and for people, both my employers and the people that I feel I’m responsible for as a producer of the show.
And, once again, it’s not for me to say that ‘you’re wrong,’ you know, ‘it was, for you, a great thing,’ I don’t know. But it happens.Īnd then there were just a lot of public conversations about how she felt about the show. I never would have disputed that ’cause, frankly, that’s not my business. And every actor has a right to ask for things, to have, you know, a contract that feels good to them.

It wasn’t that she said ‘no’ to the movie it’s that the studio said ‘no’ to the movie, which, you know, happens. They didn’t feel comfortable meeting where she wanted to meet, and so we didn’t do the movie because we didn’t want to do it without Kim, and the studio wasn’t going to do it, so it fell apart. The studio, when we were going to do the third movie, there were things that she requested that they were not able to do. It’s very hard to talk about the situation with Kim because- I’ve been so careful about not ever wanting to say anything that is unpleasant, because it’s not the way I like to conduct conversations that are as complicated as this, you know? So I will kind of run through- I think the best way to do it, honestly, is to kind of run through how it happened. It’s pretty simple, you know? I’ll be as clear as I can. TLDR: It's not my fault and I'm the nicest person ever. So I do think there is rivalry between Craig and Josh and definitely animosity. Perhaps because he has figured out Craig might be a bit shady but also possibly jealous of a possible younger rival? Josh new boyfriend a week or two ago ignored a tweet by a fan urging him to collaborate with Craig. Possi connected to this issue but unsure-Josh has unfollowed his former friend fellow pornstar Xraig Marks. Josh publicly bragging about making 50 grand a month on onlyfans went down badly with some. I think most of the tweets were deleted but it caused quite the drama online with some pornstars indirectly shading them on twitter as tacky. Apparently there has been a big public spat between Josh and his new boyfriend a few days ago after they split and Josh vented on twitter bragging how much he made on onlyfans and how no way was he going to give it up while saying it was totally reasonable for him to ask his boyfriend to remain faithful and not collaborate with anyone on his onlyfans.
