When Jeff asked me to give my account of the history of Ohioadult I didn't think it was a good idea to put my life out there but then I realized I had Facebook for 8 years my shit was already out there so I'm not gonna write a 3 paragraph account of everything I'm going to tell you everything . Just the condensed version I could probably write 2 or 3 books about everything that happened at Ohioadult but here we go!!
I've wanted to be in the porn industry since I saw my first one when I was 15 or 16. No I wasn't molested as a child no I don't have a drug issue no I don't have any mental issues yes my parents showed me plenty of love when I was growing up .Both my parents were extremely successful attorneys my father specialized in corporate law and contracts stuff like that mergers ect also did real-estate stuff with Dick Jacobs being one of his favorite clients. Because we always got Indians tickets. My mother was probably the best criminal defense attorney in the state of Ohio she also practiced in Pennsylvania New York Connecticut and New Jersey . I was a straight A student that is until my senior year more on that later. Every summer from the time I was 14 I would intern at their firms helping out with depositions and looking up case law and presidets while other kids were at the pool or going to cedar point I was in an office with a bunch of 50 year olds that treated me like a 4 year old child. Their plan for me was to go to Harvard graduate with honors work with one if not both of them for ten years become a partner and eventually take over after they die . Well I originally was ok with that plan I loved the law I loved learning things I'm great at arguing but when I was 16 I found weed and Opium and vodka. And started to rebel a little bit staying out late coming home drunk or high My parents were very conservative to the rest of the world when I came to them is actual people and they were very progressive almost hippie-ish they wanted to punish me for all my drastic changes in behavior but I was still getting straight A's I missed one day of school because I hang over even though I told my mom it was like super PMS or whatever it was. Let's see I had a few "boyfriends high School I was the rebel type I got caught having sex with my boyfriend in public a few times then we started making videos just for fun with the big old school camcorders and one of the tapes his friend got a hold of and passed it around everybody and I mean everybody saw it but everyone said how good I was actually I started selling my videos to local adult book stores while I was in the one by E.185th I met a few strippers that worked at the Executive’s Den in Euclid, Ohio, and Christies Gentlemen’s Club. Some of dancers that were involved in adult films. I totally became fascinated with the industry and two days before I turned nineteen, I made my first adult film. I went all the way to Chicago to screw some guy I never met for $800 the film went on to gross roughly around $850,000 !!
Me and my dad got into a huge fight about me not wanting to go to college but I think it was more about the whole Harvard thing. Getting to tell all his friends my daughter is going to Harvard. I stashed away about $20,000 from stripping. Like I said no vices no boyfriend I lived at home easy to put away a lot of money. Only stripped for about 2 months. I'm not very coordinated I fell off the stage probably 4 times in those 2 months. So I spent. $3000 on a car because my BMW was on my dad's name and when I said I was leaving he took it back now how am I going to get there.
I got to Los Angeles in May of 2003 I think. Called some girls I knew and put me in touch with the "good" porn companies. Back then they were all shady.
I blew though my 20k pretty quick probably because I'm a good person and my friends were always having something happen I need rent money Jenna I'm in jail they are doing 3 scenes a day they were making like $5,000 a day and they need money they were probably getting high or their pimp or boyfriend were taking what they were making. I only did maybe 12 videos while I was there I didn't trust anyone my second scene they told me it was a solo scene and I might do a lesbian one if there was time . Cool double pay I'm down. I might have had $300 left it was the end of June and my one video I did paid me $2,100 but I was getting fucked for 4 hours things kept happening we need to change the lighting the guy came to quick we need to fix the camera I was so sore. So anyway I go to do my solo scene and this guy came in said hi I'm Bret I'll be working with you today. I went to the director and said wait I'm doing a solo scene he said no it's an anal scene.
I said hell no I've never done that my ex tried once that lasted for about 8 seconds. He said ok then you can leave don't get paid today. I had rent due in 3 days and I sure as fuck wasn't calling my parents or going home a failure. So I did it thank God for Brett he was like Jeff he knew what he was doing and everything went well still hurt a little bit but it could have been a lot worse. That was the day I decided I don't want any other girls to go through that . I'm gonna start my own business. Then I realized I didn't know anything about the business besides laying on my back. So I knocked out a couple more movies I worked for Reality Kings Porn Pros Nubiles Vivid Brazzers pretty much everyone think I only worked for the same place twice once. I really got a feel how each place operated. So now I have some money put away paid my rent for 3 months took a very low paying job as a production assistant (basically the director's bitch) but I got a first hand look on how things worked I always made sure to ask a lot of questions I had a little notebook I would write in, how things were done how things could be improved I am a pretty intelligent person and I immediately could see a lot of mistakes they were making a lot of times the actual Stars of the videos were being taken advantage of. I had a lot of great ideas I had a vision of how to make the industry better how to make it fair and make it a place you wanted to work not a place you had to because you had no other options.
My mom had been hounding me to come home for a weekend come for Labor Day weekend we will have a party and a barbecue. I had to work but I promised her I would be home for Thanksgiving. I had been talking to my sister Kelly almost every day my little sister grew up while I was gone she had a boyfriend she was having sex she was staying out all night. I was really proud of her. Thought my parents were gonna push the whole Law thing on her she got straight A's too she actually has a genius IQ but like my mom no common sense she would constantly not see the simplest thing or not realize she was being taken advantage of or being played. Our conversations were always over an hour and we would never realize it. It always felt like 5 minutes. When I first got to Los Angeles she would ask me so many questions but soon our conversations would be about sex she would ask a lot of questions Jenna when you are getting fucked does your stomach always hurt like that ? I had no clue what she was saying until one day I did a scene with this guy who had a solid 11 inches yeah my stomach was feeling it . Right after I called her I said Kelly how big is Jeff's dick she said I don't know pretty big I guess I have only seen 4 in my life I said when you suck his dick can you fit it all in your mouth. She laughed and said hell no. She called me 2 days later and said she knew exactly how big Jeff's dick was . I said oh really how did you find out I figured she asked him . No she measured it it's 12¼ inches . Now I'm not a size girl but before Los Angeles the biggest I ever had was maybe 8 and he could use it. But she would talk about this guy for hours. Wasn't sure id like him came off as kind of a douchebag to me . At least that was my impression from Kelly. But she was totally into him he was her first her everything I get it I was like that with mine we were going to get married have 2.5 kids grow old together and then he met a cheerleader. Yeah so I became a cheerleader. Anyway I had met a guy named Jason while I was doing a video for Vivid he was a post Production guy did all the sound mixing and stuff and on the weekends he would work for Geffen records mixing stuff . Nice guy he was from Columbus I'm from Cleveland well actually Independence we got along really well sex was good but we would run out of things to talk sometimes it would get awkward. He has a roommate named Rob. Rob was also an a/v guy mostly video did website design on the side remember the Internet was only 5 years old at the time this is early Myspace people having geosites. You didn't quite go to school for computers yet at least not like you do now if you knew a lot it was mostly self taught and Rob was amazing or at least I thought he was . But I'll get to that later . So I told Kelly to make sure Jeff came to Thanksgiving dinner. My thoughts were ill bring Jason because he was very yes Ma'am no sir very polite and my parents will love him compared to this douchebag Kelly was seeing. So I tell my mom I'll come but she needs to get 2 tickets because I was bringing someone she said sure no problem. She thought I meant my chubby roommate Tricia because she had no family but turns out she hated Thanksgiving . So I didn't feel bad. Jason has never flown before he was a little nervous he had like 8 Jack and Cokes on the plane he wasn't a big drinker at the time he was only 20 or 21 I think. But he was still ok. We get to Cleveland my sister is the one to pick us up witch I thought was odd. She said she had to go pick up Jeff too but it was on the way home. We get there and he's cute like totally my type bad boy asshole kinda guy the guy you fuck behind the bar not the guy you take home to mom and dad.
My intuition was spot on or so I thought I asked Kelly if mom and dad have met Jeff yet she said YA about 3 months ago. At this point Jason is totally passed out in the back seat. My plan was not looking too good. Jeff was sniffling a little bit it was either he's got a cold or he just did a line of coke. Yep he was high I said hey it's really importanty my parents like Jason can I buy a little bit of coke off you and I pulled out a 50 he said no but I could have some. Maybe I was wrong about this guy so I blow some coke up Jason's nose and wait about 3 minutes and wake him up then Jeff's son calls him wait son ? Didn't know about this then he started talking to his wife I was absolutely right this guy is a douchebag blatantly playing my sister oh the old man must despise this guy Jason's now wide awake and keeps fucking interrupting me he would not shut up . We get to the house my dad comes out gives me a hug then shakes Jason's hand and the craziest thing happened he hugged Jeff they apparently got along fine and had plans to watch the cowboys game Jason is still talking don't know who he's talking to but he's talking my mom comes out ask Jeff if he's still hungry after his first Thanksgiving dinner with his other family. What OMG they know about this shit ? I'm so confused right now anyway my mom starts talking to Jeff about a case she had it was a murder charge she laid everything out to him and he comes out with this very stupid idea for a self defense story my mom is eating it up no fucking way it works this guy is gonna fry . Wrong hung jury the State decides not to retry the guy because of how much the first trial cost. He was good now he's a sleezzy douchebag lawyer type. Take Jason up to my room and am like dude shut up I'm never giving you coke ever again. His eyes got really big what ? I said yeah you were passed out drunk couldn't bring you here like that. Turns out he had a cocaine problem in highschool and he had been clean for 3 years. I've known this guy for 6 months could have said something when we would run out of things to talk about oh yeah I stole 10 grand from my parents because a was a 16 year old coke freak so i made him a really strong drink and told him to zip it he said ok only if he could have a little more coke. OMG seriously. So it's time to eat Jason is not hungry hmmm I wonder why. So my dad ask about Los Angeles. How the clubs were there and I said I don't know I haven't been to any while I have been there. Kelly started shaking her head. Kelly has a huge mouth she cannot keep a secret she loves to gossip I figured my parents knew everything.vi was wrong. I told my dad I had a job as a production assistant but I was planning on coming home after the holidays and starting my own business. I've never seen my dad's mood shift so many times in such a short amount of time he went from normal to relieved to happy to a brand new one I've never seen the I want to kill my daughter look when I said I was starting a porn company. We didn't talk much the rest of the weekend. My mom on the other hand asked a lot of questions and brought up some really good points my parents can argue anything and 73% of the time they can get you to change your mind about something. Got back to LA Rob says I got a few girls that want to get out of California they might be down to come to Ohio to work for me.
I met one she was a total speed freak she wanted to leave town because she owed every drug dealer in the tri county area. The other is at home visiting her parents for a few weeks she will meet us in Cleveland. So everything is set I read up on tax code we were going to incorporate in Delaware the state is famous for its tax code and legal framework, chosen as a corporate tax haven.
Delaware: The "Corporation State"
Delaware is the state most businesses incorporate in, including over 66% of the Fortune 500.
Tax Code: If a company is incorporated in Delaware but does not conduct business there, it pays no state corporate income tax. It also has no state sales tax or tax on "intangible assets" like trademarks and patents.
Legal System: It features the Court of Chancery, a specialized court that hears business disputes without juries, led by judges who are experts in corporate law.
Privacy: It allows companies to keep the names of directors and officers out of the public record
Yeah so I did my homework and we were going to do things right then I get a call from my mom my dad died I was devastated I couldn't believe he was gone he was only 57 but he drank smoked had a very stressful job found out later that even if the heart attack didn't kill him he would have been gone in 6-8 months anyway he has pancreatic cancer. I'm greatfull for the heart attack in his sleep he didn't have to go through months of suffering. But when my dad died left me and Kelly $8 million dollars a piece now I didn't have to wait a year to build up capital I had it I
decided I was going to make my own porn company and it was going to be about women it was going to be impowering and living with the choices and we're going to pay better and do better than anyone else⅔Rob got working on our first website the damn domain cost me $1000 they saw me coming I think Jeff pays $6 a month for Ohioadult.com lol I knew I had to put together a really strong team for the get go Kelly was willing to help with anything and everything she said she would do solo scenes or scenes with her boyfriend they she got this big smile and said OMG I have the best idea you should hire Jeff . He's got a huge dick he knows like everything about everything . Yeah just what I want to pay a douchebag who's playing my sister. Then she pulled out her phone and showed me a video of them together wow for a grainy cellphone video it was really good wonder what he could do with a real camera then he pulls out for the end and yep huge cock at this point I'm sold then I saw Rob's website it looked like a homemade Yahoo geosite made by a 12 year old girl. I told him exactly what I wanted and he totally missed it and it was only 4 pages. With about half the stuff I asked for told Jeff I'd pay him $2000 if he could deliver on the website I wanted. He over delivered it was almost exactly what o wanted I wanted but I wanted 16 pages not 64 it was unheard of back then to have a site that big each girl got her own page certain scenes got a page our early webseries got a page it was amazing by the end of the year the website was well over 100 pages and everything was made by Jeff himself each menu icon logo everything I was shocked how good he was but after 2 weeks the website was up and he was gone he was helping Rob with things helped the first crew out with our first shoot he would help out if I asked him or made Kelly ask. He wanted no part of being I famous pornstar in his mind he was famous enough for being a hoe he didn't want national recognition. Let me tell you something about Jeff that man is so fucking stubborn took us 6 maybe 8 months I tried everything different titles offered him $100,000 but he had to be on camera and he said no. It wasn't just the big dick I was after it was the fact Kelly was right he really did seem to know everything about everything or at least a little bit about everything enough to speak intelligently about it. Well at the time I was having a really hard time with getting the right girls. My mom said something actually she said you need to get your talent give them a dry run see if they can back up what they are saying. DING. perfect job for Jeff he gets to bang a couple chicks a week my sister knows about it and is ok with it he's not in a relationship with any of them and we get him to help out with the other stuff just need to make it happen told Kelly she was ok with it just have to reel him in . I was prepared to offer him $1,000 per girl with a maximum of 5 a week but thank God he took my first offer already blew though so much on talent
Originals
Our first big brake as far as talent goes was Jessica she had been in the business she knew some things she probably did 5 videos before Ohioadult.
My sister was a natural on camera. She always listened to what Jeff and I were talking about and got it immediately.
Kassie on the other hand took her a while to take a step back and see everything. I think going to LA was like finishing school for her her first shoot back was night and day then we had Lindsey who is actually a b list celebrity in the uk mostly for having GGG tits at the age of 16 shortly after coming to Ohioadult she got married and her husband was only ok with girl on girl or solo stuff .
Becky Peters was one of the Scene magazine girls but she was honest never fucked me over and she worked at my favorite strip club. Alot of people say they will do ANYTHING to get in the business don't care whatever it takes. I've only met one guy that actually did it .
I've known Steve for 22 years there isn't a gay bone in that man's body not even a bi bone Thd
or is as straight as they come. He sucked dick put shit up his ass to get noticed. It's very easy to break into gay porn you either have to have a cock like Jeff or you got to know someone those are the Ohioadult Originals Siriea and lacy came 2 months later and neither were around long the Ohioadult Originals were together for 2 years
Then Jessica left to have a baby and came back as Charlie beside that 6 months layoff by Jessica we were all at Ohioadult till 2011 that's 6 years don't think Ohioadult has had a crew stay together a year there was the Tanya Dawn Heather they stuck together almost a year Kassie is the only girl ever to get fired from Ohioadult not only does she have that distinction she was actually fired twice
We were always a very very tight-knit group we were still hanging out together pretty much from Thursday night until Sunday night we hung out and party together Thursday we would go to Beach club down in the flats Friday night was usually hanging out at either Jeff's
