This scandal has so many angles (gay media moguls, money, sex solicitations, politics, escorts and censorship) that your head could easily end up spinning out of control, perhaps that’s what it makes it so juicy!
Nick Denton, founder of the Gawker network of blogs, and ex Fleshbot, got caught under fire after he exercised direct censorship over a post published on one his sites that revealed that Conde Nast’s CFO David Geithner, (a father of three, brother of former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and very good friend of Denton) was caught soliciting a gay escort. Allegedly, David Geithner tried to pay a then unnamed, gay porn star for sex, but backed out after it became clear the escort wanted to extort him. And here’s where it gets interesting for QC readers and porn fans. It was disclosed that the escort was a man named Lief Derek Truitt (we’re not outing anyone, as the name and porn connection has been made public in several sites) that according to the original Gawker post tried to pressure the executive into using his power and connections to help resolve a dispute with his landlord but when Geithner declined to aid him he turned to the media to make their sex solicitation public. Turns out that said escort has a familiar face, he is none other than Brodie Sinclair!
After the post became a topic of conversation given its scandalous nature, Denton, who the Advocate named one of the “25 Most Influential LGBT People in Media” gave the order of deleting the entry, enraging his staff of bloggers, as he broke the firewall that separates the business and journalistic sides of the company. Since then he has apologized for the act, but the post remains unpublished.
Several news outlets tried to contact “Brodie Sinclair” to get an statement on the story as he was the main source of the Gawker article but all they got was an incoherent string of conspiratorial blabbing and confusing sentences as the folks of Gotnews reported. It seems that Brodie, in addition of being an escort, a porn star, and an ex-marine, has dedicated his time to record baffling videos with crazy conspiracy theories that according to him, involve Obama, Vladimir Putin, the FBI and the 9/11 connections. Is he playing the crazy card or is he not the very well-adjusted person we thought he was? The Gawker scandal and the sex solicitations seem to be very real but his behaviour and the reports that this is all an elaborated hoax has left us scratching our heads! At least we have the memories of better times with Brodie’s porn past with Cockyboys! QC reader, what do you think of this scandal? Tell us in the comments!
Update: Do you guys remember when Brodie joined team QC? We almost renamed the site as “BrodieClick”!
Is the Grabby Performer of the Year going into retirement? Yes, or so Diesel Washington says in a post cheerfully entitled “TIME TO RETIRE!!! BYE BYE”. The star shot his last movie, Taken to the Lowest Level, almost 3 months ago. Though he’s gone for 8 months without work before, he was an exclusive at the time, and looking at his previously-troubled peers, Washington wonders why he’s been singled out for unemployment:
Take Jason Adonis, the guy can screw some people over (the bottoming thing) and then still come back and work, no problem! Matthew Rush, he has had his share of problems, but work doesn’t seem to be one of them. Brodie Sinclair all the drama with Raging Stallions and the guy still finds work on various sites, Cocky Boys etc. Brad Star he has his share of problems, but after everything is said and done still finds work.
Afterwards, he says he’d rather “bow out gracefully as opposed to hitting the mass email thing begging for work.” Then, immediately after, he calls out Hot House, Jet Set, and Colt, basically begging for work. Tsk, tsk… bad form, Diesel. Don’t you know it’s the girls who ask for it the least who get it the most? Plus, it’s a recession; lots of other porn stars have opened their own pay sites for some cash until work picks up. It may not make millions, but you’d at least have enough for weed. But not content to privately jerk off for his fans, Diesel announced:
SO AT THIS POINT I’M SAYING I HAVE RETIRED!!!
I will keep the blog running for a bit…..
Maybe that will change??? Who knows?? Shit!!! Chad Manning retired and then Unretired all in one week. Stay tuned!!!
Hmmm… Washington’s known to go all drama queen on his blog, so we’re feeling that he’s likely to drop his “retirement” as soon as the first offer comes calling. Also, it’s worth noting that he’s been having dating trouble and recently went on a tirade against skinny jeans wearers, wet blunt smokers, and hooker clients who take up their entire paid hour. Diesel’s bloggy meltdown is most likely a marketing ploy, the digital equivalent of Britney shaving her head. We know it’s hard times, Diesel, but you’ve never been one to take it sitting down—usually you give it standing up.
