Chi Chi Larue GoFundMe .....

Rink prease

OP, God damn it, learn to post a link with your story, you lazy bastard. As for this fundraiser. Fuck that. This fool must've earned hundreds of thousands - if not millions off of his porn empire and associated personal branding opportunities. So (a). He's either mismanaged his funds; or (b). He's not willing to spend his own money on this treatment. Either way, I have no sympathy. Find a less expensive rehab facility or sell the assets you do have - studios, naming rights, home(s), cars. Also, your porn is awful and you have no taste.

needs?

He's been in the gay porn business decades as a director and a producer. He must've made at least millions and probably even tens of millions during that time. I feel sorry for his addiction but if he really is poor now then why on earth is he at a rehab that costs $28,000 a month?

I will forever be grateful to him for getting a young Christian Boeving to get sucked and rimmed by Zak Spears, but I will always regret that he didn't give us a shot of Boeving's hole. There were many shots of Spears digging in while eating his muscled ass, even spreading from a bird's view angle, but no shot from Spears' POV. I really wanted to see that hole!

That's beautiful, R5, but save it for the eulogy.

"So (a). He's either mismanaged his funds; or (b). He's not willing to spend his own money on this treatment."

Or he spent the whole lot on blow, which is how most people end up in these fancy-schmancy rehabs.

I've met Chi-Chi LaRue when she was still a semi attractive Italian dude in Minneapolis. He owned/managed a porn store/s off of Hennepin Ave.. One Halloween he had me adjust a witch decoration and I made the legs spread at a sexually suggestive angle and he giggled. I had a Mohawk and big ole black leather jack boots on and a leather jacket, I was quite young too (19) so I think he couldn't figure out I was gay. This was in the 80's btw. He seemed like a nice guy. Decades later when I found out he was Chi-Chi LaRue, I was kind of disappointed.

[quote]Decades later when I found out he was Chi-Chi LaRue, I was kind of disappointed.

Why?

Chi Chi wouldn't have been making money from porn for decades now. Have you been to her shitty site, with her 3 releases a year. Bitch still makes features. How much can you make as a DJ for a bunch of meth addicts? And, as Blue Bailey succinctly states:

"I don't get it. If you can't afford The Betty Ford center, than pick a lower income rehab before you start crowd funding."

R10, he has 356 director credits between 1987 and 2013 at IMDb, and I've understood IMDb misses lot of porn film credits so who knows how much other stuff he's done. To my knowledge he had his own production company so he probably was getting shitload of money at some point. I don't know obviously how much money he's made but I've always thought Chi Chi is one of the biggest names in gay porn industry and one thing is for certain: porn makes lot of money for the people in charge.

It's a shame if he snorted it all up his nose but that's his life. This GoFundMe sounds just absolutely silly since he could easily go to a cheaper place.

Terrible idea. If the GoFundMe money would be donated to a worthy cause like The Trevor Project or a free rehab program which relies on donations, then I would be all for it, but for ChiChi's own rehab bill? That's borderline obscene. If the public humors her she will not take sobriety seriously and she will most likely expect others to pay for future rehab stints of hers as well.

I don't think he ever came back after the backlash against he and Blake Riley when they made an anti gay conversion porn bisexual movie. Maybe it hurt him more than he let on, Riley always remained defiant and arrogantly unapologetic about it, Larry sorta hinted it was the worst move of his career.

But at least he has always kept condoms mandatory on his productions and did the wrap it up campaign.

Incidentally, how is "Chi Chi" pronounced? I've always said it like "Chee Chee," but I've recently heard some people say it like "Shee Shee."

R6

Damn, I wanted to WW you, but I FF'd you by mistake. That's so tragic. Sorry.

R14 Donate a few thousand dollars and you can find out directly!

After presenting all those holes, Chi Chi finds himself in one.

I'd rather donate to Brandon's trip to LA to fulfill his lifelong dream of being a personal trainer than donate to some other entitled lunatic who needs to go to a luxury rehab while expecting strangers to pay for it.

R18, the issue is that no matter what rehab one might go to, insurance only pays for a 30 day stay.

She's taken leave of her senses.

Let's see: Darfur orphans, Myanmar refugees, Syrian refugees, or Chi-Chi's blow-hole.

Which global catastrophe is most pressing?

R18 It's not entitled to ask for someone to ask strangers to fund their career change?! A ticket to LA to become a personal trainer...and you believe that!

She She was on Hey Qween in the last year. He talked about how he used to have a budget of $250,000 for his flicks and now it is about 10 grand. Because there is no money to be made anymore etc. He does in other parts of the interview say he owns the Catalina catalogue and shills various DVD's and dildos. I am not really into this old porn but in the full interview, Dean Monroe joins the conversation, and him I remember.... Dean looks well preserved, I guess you could say. Tiny and dumb, like most of em.

I am a "graduate" of the Betty Ford Center and I can tell you it cost a hell of a lot more than $28,000. I would not give him a dime.

Hence why I said "some OTHER entitled lunatic" r21. They are both entitled lunatics.

But I am so put off by someone who should have been able to save some money over the years with all the porn films he has directed and produced, that I'd rather donate to a complete idiot then a luxury beggar!

Doesn't Obamacare require coverage for rehab treatments?

Again, R24, rehab is ONLY covered for 30 days by insurance.

I don't know anything about rehab, but does it usually last longer than 30 days?

"how is "Chi Chi" pronounced?"

It's pronounced "drug-dealing pimp."

Sorry I did not post the link in the OP

Thanks for doing it R3

This 2015 article allegedly lists the 10 wealthiest drag queens. Chi Chi Larue is not on the list. (Adore Delano is # 10 with, supposedly, $ 800K)

I'll post another link below from 2006 that indicates that Chi Chi Larue was # 3 at that time with, supposedly, $ 4.5 million dollars.

Sooooooooooo ..........if that is even remotely true, she blew through a ton of money in less than ten years.

Here's a 2006 list of 10 wealthiest drag queens ..... don't recognize half of them.

RuPaul's Drag Race has certainly served the contestants (and RuPaul) well ..........

There are free rehabs if you can put up with Jesus - diety, not poolboy.

Fellow porn director Gio Caruso posted "She's given so much to us, now it's time to give back". The last time I checked, porn wasn't free. Also it's was pointed out on another blog, that the references to Hazelden have been scrubbed from the Go Fund Me page, probably because of the references to its cost. Also it appears very few of the people she's worked with over the years have given money.

Maybe (if she has any wealthier friends) they will donate behind the scenes rather than through GFM .....

She has kind of opened herself up to the question of why this is necessary ........particularly because she seems to still own 'property' ............ perhaps it is already all tied up with other loans ....

As Chi Chi (She She) is in rehab following friends intervening , I wonder if she is being resistant and saying 'Well, if my friends are all so worried about me, maybe they'll pay for it' .............Not a great attitude, but ......who knows.

Sadly, she obviously thought this was an easy goal because the original GFM (which I haven't read lately) indicated that anything raised above $ 40K will go to other addiction/rehab related sources.

Won't she be surprised. Bummer.

Drugs and Porn, Americans have no control.

[quote]She's given so much to us, now it's time to give back"

What has she given us besides hours and hours of mediocre porn?

R34 ..... I guess that's a referral to appearances at benefits, etc ??

This all makes me wonder how quickly Chi Chi (and friends) were willing to pay for rehab for the Joey Stefanos, etc within the industry with drug and alcohol problems.

Billy Santoro, who currently appear in porn, recently revealed he is seeking treatment for alcoholism ..... and I believe he was doing it on his own ..... without crowdfunding.

Has raised about $ 6500 in two days ..........could get it all within two weeks at that rate ........but the donations tend to slow down over time, so we'll see.

One problem with rehab is that you seldom see identifying tattoos or girthy cocks- just clothed bodies that morph from Skelator to doughy 12 stepper.

Early recovery is hard on porn bodies.

R35 Wasn't Billy Santoro a bartender? Occupational hazard?

All the money will go to meth. Duh.

I can't take this other mess on. I've got crack addicts in my own family to try to get through rehab.

On Twitter, Chi Chi was always going on and on about #SoberLiving and #Sober this and that ALL THE TIME.

NOW, he needs rehab? I thought he's been #SOBER for centuries.

Stupid gays giving him $470 in 44 minutes.

Why was Chi Chi so obsessed with turning gay men straight?

R41 ....... I would guess that 90 % of the donations are from family, friends and co-workers ........ there is one donation there for $ 1000.

Well don't look at me, Chi-Chi. All my money is tied up in cash.

I'm sorry Chi-Chi, but with all due respect, I've got problems of my own.

What has Chi Chi ever done for the gay community?

Educate me.

All I've ever seen him do is promote his Straight-For-Pay DVDs and bisexual movies.

That's not gay.

I met Chi Chi at a club once. Vile, odious creature.

$250

this is cheaper than your escort rate.

Vilanch humor ........ no one pays for sex with Chi Chi .............no doubt that half of her money went to pay for her 'discoveries' auditions and friendships.

Why isn't that disgusting slag dead yet??

[quote]Vilanch humor ........ no one pays for sex with Chi Chi .............no doubt that half of her money went to pay for her 'discoveries' auditions and friendships.

I was thinking more along the lines that 250 is what Chi Chi charges the johns to hire one of the performers, not that it was what you'd have to pay Chi Chi for sex.

Not a cent! Doing things on your own is best. Isn't that right Chi Chi?

I'd pay good money to keep that fat fuck out of rehab. Hateful thing that thing is.

People are still paying for porn?

THAT is the real tragedy.

R52 Well said, Pally!

I blocked the phrase GoFundMe on Facebook today. I am so sick of people begging for money for vet bills, vague expenses related to families who have lost a family member, and moving expenses. I'm sure most of the people begging have more money than I do and I manage my funds well enough to take care of my pet and any other expenses. I've even moved several times and paid for it all by myself. And family funeral expenses? It's called life insurance.

That thing should give up. Besides isn't crack wack? That one was for Bobbi.

Vicious media hoe needs money to feed his drug habit. Color me surprised.

As one of "The Big 5" that actually own the C1R empire you'd think the other 4 would have a ve$ted interest in seeing that she gets through this. Unless she's no longer part of that. I agree that at one time she HAD money. Or she sure put up an amazing facade.

Such compassion.

The guy is asking for help. And all some of you can do is complain. Have a fucking heart. Such selfishness.

If I had the money, I'd give it to him. And I'd feel proud of myself for contributing to his well being.

[quote]The guy is asking for help.

He is a drug addict asking for money. That is not the same thing. In fact, it is usually the opposite.

Chi Chi has gone around for years, holier-than-thou, and blasted "her" community for drug abuse, alcoholism, barebacking, on and on... and now, this cunt wants fans to fund *her* rehab? Moreover, "she" has boasted than gay porn made "her" a millionaire many times over... and still wants fans to fund "her" rehab? Finally, Chi Chi was Joey Stefano's dealer and pimp, and watched him spiral into a bottomless pit of addiction and despair without lifting a finger to stop him because that would have ended "her" career in porn at the time. If Chi Chi had simply stepped away from Stefano and done *anything* to get him some help, he might have made it. Oh, I know "she'd" screech on in disagreement for as long as anyone wanted to put up with that noise, but the facts remain: Stefano is dead at "her" hands, and there is nothing "she" can do to convince those of us who knew him and loved him otherwise.

Chi Chi LaRue is a vile, despicable human being. The people giving "her" money for rehab are fools and wasting their time. This isn't the first time "she's" done a stint in rehab, and it won't be the last. Maybe Chi Chi should think about moving back to "her" mother's and taking up residency in her basement... again.

He was so totally self-righteous Tweeting smug #Sober claims to other "recovering" porn workers.

That article makes it seem like this is his first time to get "sober" - it ain't! And he was more fake about his "sobriety" than Jim Bakker professing his innocence in 1987.

Hope she's getting big donations behind the scenes. Poor Chi Chi has less than $ 7K raised in three days .....with less than 90 donors so far.

It's enough to make someone relapse .....

[quote]It's enough to make someone relapse .....

More likely: Prolapse . . .

Look at the cast lists for his/her past videos. How many died of drug-related causes? Ten, twenty?

I'd pay for a GoFuckOff fund to have this skank drowned.

I was at a club in LA more than a decade ago, and she hit on me to do porn for her.

You're one of the lucky/smart ones, R65: you escaped Larry's grasp, and it probably saved your life. I second R61's take, and wish that her sycophants would wake up and realize what a blight s/he is on the industry. I wrote about her destructive relationship with Joey Stefano on the "Retired porn stars" thread last week. As others have noted, there is a long list of models whose lives Larry negatively impacted.

I lost all respect for her and her tard bisexual boy toy asswipe Blake Riley after they made that anti gay piece of porn shit, Shifting Gears.

[quote]Incidentally, how is "Chi Chi" pronounced? I've always said it like "Chee Chee," but I've recently heard some people say it like "Shee Shee."

It's 'Shee Shee', as it's supposed to be French.

R65 Did he try to get you to do gay-turns-straight porn?

[quote]I'd pay for a GoFuckOff fund to have this skank drowned.

I'm in.

[quote]I'd pay for a GoFuckOff fund to have this skank drowned.

Just get him an invite to Demi's next pool party.

Why are you people turning on one of our own? Like the old adage says, with friends like these, who needs enemies? No wonder the gay movement has been slow at accomplishing things until recently. Always in-fighting.

R72, Jeffrey Dahmer was one of "our own". Are we supposed to defend him, too?

Buck Angel would never have been IN rehab!

R72 Larry is a disgusting parasite who has never done one good thing for the gay community.

Read this thread thoroughly for examples of how he has HURT people.

Plus, he's been lying about his "sobriety" and acting smug about it for years.

Are you secretly Dr. Drew?

Turning on "one of our own?" R72, do you know who Chi Chi/Larry is, and the bullshit he has unloaded on "our" community? Larry slut shames his fellow gays... as he made millions off those very sluts. He criticized the entire gay community over drug use... while abusing drugs to the point of needing rehab numerous times. And then, having snorted those millions of dollars made off the backs of his fellow gays, he has the audacity to ask that the community cover the costs of his rehab!

How do you spell Chi Chi? H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E.

He can stay in rehab about 20 % longer since he's raised about 20 % of his goal.

Such a fool ........... if you can't afford the Lamborghini of rehabs, then go to the Honda of rehabs .....

[quote]if you can't afford the Lamborghini of rehabs, then go to the Honda of rehabs .....

WTF is that supposed to mean? We're not talking about cars here.

Gross. What a disgusting pig. Kill yourself already.

I'm the one who posted about blocking GoFundMe on Facebook but it didn't work on my mobile! Saw a couple begging for money to adopt a baby. Guess what? It's expensive to take care of that kid for 18 years, too! Good luck!

R78 --- he is staying at the Hazleton clinic. The original post indicated it cost a ton of money once insurance stops covering the cost .........that is why they are trying to raise so much money .......... there are cheaper options and he should use them if he can't afford the costs of Hazelton on his own.

What's so great about Hazelton?

No idea R82 .......... reviews at link.

Like a grad wondering if his career would be shinier or better if only he'd attended a better school....

I, a drunk, sometimes wonder if life would be easier if only he'd gone to an elite rehab - one with ponies and chemical psychiatry and good food and stuff, one where everyone has a full set of teeth.

Pffft, in my prime I would've raised ten times as much as the $ 7500 that drag queen has raised ...

The only performer name I recognized was Tom chase. A few behind the scene industry people, but that's it. Not even a free DVD with a donation. At least dirk caber and Colby Keller actually gave a gift for a donation. Also, doesn't she have a retail store and is planning on opening another?

Chad hunt threw a fit on Twitter because people are criticizing larue, but I don't see his name (Daniel August) on the list of donors.

Qweerty article ..........really no new answers to *why* Larue cannot pay for this himself .........but more fun/funny comments.

If this was Johnny LaRue, I'd give him my all!

I don't believe those figures for the top 10 drag queen net worth one bit. The "author" is an idiot who couldn't even get the most rudimentary facts correct about the people profiled. He then goes on to cite sales and views that would in no way net or gross anywhere near that worth. I'm sure some of them travel extensively and make decent appearance fees (none of which are actually cited, that's just me ballparking), but there is no way on earth any of those people are millionaires with the exception of RuPaul.

R71 If THAT doesn't work, he can always stop by my house! Unfortunately, my ex-wife didn't watch her step. WHOOPSIE! Beaten and drowned. Of course, I had NOTHING to do with that.

No way I'd give for that.

I know nothing about Jimmy James except for the one time I met him in Dallas in 1989. He may have been evil or whatever but we had a fun conversation geeking out about Stevie Nicks. Jimmy said he LOVED performing as Stevie the most but most gays only wanted to see Madonna, Marilyn, Cher, etc. He was very nice and funny.

Anyway, based on that nice interaction 26 years ago, I throw a few bucks JJ's way if he'd ever had needed a little help. NOT, however, to Larry who was rude to me on Twitter when I asked him a soft ball question. Then, reading his shady dealings make me believe he's not someone who would even appreciate some help, just take it and run.

Interesting none of the pornstars she hired donated, apart from Tom Chase, they are simply on twitter telling other people to donate.

Did Blake Riley contribute to Larry's fun?

How about that other Straight-For-Pay Cameron?

"Larry's fund" is should read, but I'm sure it was fun for Larry to direct gay men to fuck women.

Doubtful , and neither were straight for pay, they always were bisexual. That movie seemed to be the beginning of the end for Larry, I think the backlash affected him more than he let on.

The same backlash that came back on Arpad Miklos and Logan McCree?

I'm not a fan, but is hope she gets help and sober. Sad none of her pornstar friends contributed.

R98, why do you think none of her "pornstar friends" contributed? Here's a clue: she's not well liked in the industry. And, this isn't her first stint in rehab. And it won't be her last, either.

I'm surprised Blake Riley didn't contribute considering he should be so grateful she helped convert him to the joys of hot chick muff.

Blake Riley looks good fucking ladies. He'd look good fucking a house plant, but that's another thread.

Shame he didn't look too good fucking the guys, as boring and enthusiastic as a house plant r101. Actually a house plant would be less boring.

His bottom scene in "Taken" is quite amusing.

Why r103, was he looking at straight porn the whole time.

The Blake Riley is straight troll is back. He lives in Arkansas right now and has is in a relationship with a guy. He quit porn to help run a cheer leading gym with a different boyfriend in Las Vegas.

R105 Every time the Blake-Riley-Is-Straight troll pops up, you quickly post to defend Blake's "gayness". Where's your proof?

Enough with the whore/ex-whore!

Back to the broke-ass junkie pimp drag queen!

Interesting r28, I would have guessed that Rupaul was worth more than that.

This homophobic trans bitch must suffer for making anti-gay "pay the gay away" movies

and bad porn.

I know blood is thicker than water, but Chi Chi LaRue is thicker than anything.

Now circling $ 10K raised (about 25% of the goal)

I'd sooner give to Chi Chi Rodriguez.

Blake Riley's real name is Jacob Blake brumbelow r106 why don't you ask him and his boyfriend about his gayness.

R114, Blake Riley is bisexual not gay or straight. I do think he is dating a guy, but that doesn't stop him from being bisexual or anti gay. Anyway he has retired years ago, he has always been defiant and unapologetic about his anti gay conversion porn exploitation., so I have to assume he is bi and anti gay.

I don't know I feel torn about it, in a way r109 hit the nail on the head, but still she must be in a pretty bad state now, so it'd cool if she got help, but is noticed so few people in the industry have helped her, I guess it is an immoral money and greed obsessed industry where no one is anyone's friend.

There are a number of anonymous donations. No one knows if those are from industry friends or not.

Sister Roma's FB response certainly got the ball rolling again. The GFM had be stalled and the past day has seen about 25 new donations.

R97, I hope Logan will kill himself too or at least die from deadly disease caught from raping scottiish sheep

A little OT but a friend of mine, 15 years ago or so, interviewed Chi-chi for a French TV channel (Canal +, our local HBO, what other channel would be interested in gay porn?). Chi-chi was interviewed as a man. And my friend (a gay porn aficionado, and - I suspect - a little more than that) was surprised how articulate and "handsome" "Chi-Chi" was without the persona. So there: now you know.

Do por stars get royalties? Is Blake Riley still getting money for his anti gay bullshit scum porn?

R119 Very few people in porn get royalties. Very popular contract stars can get that in their contracts, but very few are able to.

However Chi Chi owns many of his own movies and also the Catalina back catalog. I know not many people pay for porn these days but he shouldn't be so broke he couldn't afford rehab.

HA. A $25 donor reminisces about the great time he had at an orgy with Chi Chi. It's on the GFM at the link above.

Roma is one of Chi Chi's only friends in the industry, and I wish that he would wake up and smell the coffee. Chi Chi did so little for the industry as it collapsed, leaving everyone he worked with out in the cold (as usual). That Chi Chi holds the Catalina catalog is almost as worthless as the paper on which that is written; catalog titles don't sell in appreciable numbers, and for nowhere near anything that would throw off a revenue stream sufficient to support Chi Chi's lube budget, let alone rehab.

I know that drag queens stick together, but the reason Roma has no position in the industry is because of Chi Chi, who said some really sick shit about Roma behind his back. Sad.

Why the hell are people referring to him as SHE? He's a boy, his name is Larry. Chi Chi is just a character he plays in drag.

What was this anti-gay porn film he directed? What was it called? What was so bad about it?

Larry's kink is apparently getting on watching gay men fuck women, which he's directed in several "Bisexual" movies. Most odious, though, was the 2008 Shifting Gears where Larry had his two out gay male stars, Blake Riley and Cameron Marshall, do all these interviews where they stated how much they LOVED fucking pussy for the first time and looked very forward to doing it more. Cameron even wanted to star in a movie of just him and several girls.

Larry marketed the movie as "Straight For Pay". Many heterosexuals pointed out how easy it is for gay men to admit they enjoy heterosexual fucking and look forward to more.

R122 ....... I never realized Roma worked in the industry (or wanted to) .............are you talking about the porn world or the drag world.

Roma is in recovery too, so I think that's a big reason for the support too.

Chi Chi posted a minute long video to Facebook, thanking people for helping and saying that 'I screwed up alot'

Funny about the Catalina catalog being worthless .......... I certainly understand the overall glut in porn, but for me (an elder gay, Catalina is great stuff and should be checked out).

The models back then were so much better. As with everthing, their product got worse as time went on though. Tried too hard to diversify and have something for everyone. Asian Porn, Daddy Porn, Leather Porn, Asian Leather Daddy Porn (you get the drift)

Roma worked in porn behind the scenes for Hot House, R126. I should be careful, as the specific inappropriate remarks Chi Chi made regarding Roma were relayed to me second hand, but knowing Chi Chi, they sounded entirely attributable. I was on the receiving end of one of Chi Chi's tirades, and 'cunt' is being nice.

It doesn't surprise me that Roma is supporting Chi Chi. Roma was up to his eyeballs in drugs, both using and dealing, and I'm sure that Chi Chi was one of his best customers at one time. Bear in mind that, in my opinion, Chi Chi killed Joey Stefano (as I've stated in this thread and others). Chi Chi also contributed to many other ODs and untimely deaths; she ain't no saint, that's for sure.

Regarding catalog collections, the issue is that most of this was shot on 640x480 video, the source is all old and deteriorating rapidly, and it looks pretty bad, especially when compared to today's HD (which is what everyone expects). And, it is very time consuming and labor-intensive to transfer old video to web-ready format, or to DVD. Forget it if the source material is on film; telecine is incredibly expensive and sales just aren't going to come even close to recovering the costs. Anyone who puts these old films out on DVD or digitally is doing it out of love for the material, not the opportunity to cash in... the 90's ended 15 years ago! And while you and I may agree that models of that era were better or more to our tastes, there are some pretty hot models working today, and combined with the present style of shooting porn, the old films don't inspire the same interest, sales, or even theft.

Shifting Gears was marketed as conversion porn, Blake Riley particularly played along with it, up to then he claimed to be gay, the claimed he loved sex with women, was so hard for it and wanted to do it again, and his biggest fantasy was kinky straight sex with a beautiful girl, sex with a female pornstar had "converted" him. There was a big backlash which both seemed to enjoy and shit stirring their fans more. Riley was always very rude to fans and seemed to hate being called gay and retired remaining unapologetic.

A new comment on the GoFundMe site ..

Bitch needs to re-read, spell check or maybe check herself into rehab ..........Sheesh.

Carolyn Von Hauck-Nordstrom

23 hours ago Hello, I have known Larry for 34 years. Pre Chi Chi or at least the very public Chi Chi you have all come to know. We lived togther in Mpls and in Los Angeles. We have been through loys of great times and se down times but never loke this. Ever. I think Kevin wrote a very wonderful piece about his best friend but he did not tell you the complete devastation we witnesses the weekend he came home. This was the cirst time we saw him in this dark, drugged and lethal place. From what we heard later this state he was in was not new. We were terrified for our dear friend and knew that if he didn't get some very serious help he would diw very soon. He would die. Die. Not just sort of disappear from public view but our Larry would be gone from this earth. Yes? As famous as he is and was his addiction ruined him. So for those of you who are critical of this site and the need for donations. ... Shut your pie holes. You don't know the half of it. It takes more than one episode more than one day, week or year, for that matter, to ruin your life and all you have worked for. Larry needs help from his friends he doesn't need your snide holier than thou attitudes. We all fall down. Some just do it bigger and badder than you. If you really know Larry,, if you are Larry's friend you will understand the need for this plee for support. Thank you. Love you Larry. Loon-a-tic

Are Larry's "friends" all in "recovery"?

[quote]Carolyn Von Hauck-Nordstrom

Seriously?

Has Sharon Kane said or done anything to help Chi Chi yet? They used to be pretty close. She called him "a stinker" in an interview she did last year. She's married and no long and no longer involved with porn at all, so she might have abandoned her gays like many hags do when they marry.

Oops that should be:

She's married and no longer involved with porn at all, so she might have abandoned her gays like many hags do when they marry.

Not a dime ! Doing things on one's own is best. Don't you agree Cheap Cheap ?

He can contact Kirstie Alley about the very successful cocaine rehab she went through. I'm sure it was free to go through. It just requires payment after the fact. Apparently, the same rehab organization has also been trying to assist John Travolta with a certain addiction. His frequent massages seem to be slowing his therapy down though.

[quote]Not just sort of disappear from public view but our Larry would be gone from this earth.

And that's a bad thing?

Blah, blah blah R115. He's gay, get over your weird obsession with him being bisexual. He's not.

Be gone freak.

Sure, r62, Joey Stefano had NOTHING to do with his own demise.

The way some maniacs carry on about the innocence of their porn obsessions is pathetic.

And don't get me started on the Al Gayda terrorist who still insists that somebody was harmed when Blake Riley and Chi Chi went straight-for-pay.

You're fucking delusional.

OOPS r138 was aimed at r61!

This thread has "One Psychotic Stalker Troll" written all over it.

Maybe none of her porn star friends contributed because most are broke as a joke and desperate.

Chi Chi seems to be in a very bad way in the new video:

Well, I don't care if it's enabling and Chi Chi isn't even my favorite pornographer — I gave $50 anyway.

Begging is new for Chi Chi. Everybody needs help and forgiveness sometimes. Rehab should be free for everybody, all the time.

R137, Riley and his Boyfriend are Republican, pro gun, pro hunting rednecks and self loathing gays. So the fact he made an anti gay bisexual conversion porn movie makes sense, If he is not bisexual by nature he is by sheer willpower.

They should send her to live with that old cunt Cissy Houston. I hear she recently ran out of dope fiends to look after.

[quote]Rehab should be free for everybody, all the time.

Fuck that shit. It's 2015, there are many well known substances that have no business in the human body. This is no secret. Many are illegal because of the damage they do. If you're stupid enough to do them and get caught in addiction, that's your problem. I am as far from a Republican as you can get but that is one thing taxpayer's money should not go to. I don't want to pay for your voluntary self destructive behavior.

Keep him in rehab and when he gets out any money left will go to drugs. Bitch is a drug addict.

Wasn't Joey Stefano a drug-using rent-boy way before he got anywhere near porn or LaRue?

Holy shit r144 now you are just making shit up up. They are none of those things .

The bitch must die.

BURN WITCH BURN!

Yes R148 .... that is supposedly part of Joey's story. Comments at the linked article shed some additional light on his life (if true).

Chi Chi's GFM campaign has stalled again since Roma's FB please at around $ 10,900.

GoFundMe or GoFuckMe?

Unfortunately r149 his bf & Blake support the Republican Party , a lot of Redstate gays do, but I guess it is a cultural thing being from the rural Southern Midwest States, hunting and guns are just a normal part of life, but I think they are very happy and Blake has put his past behind him, he'll never make a comeback. He is a competitive bodybuilder now.

Not surprised that a bunch of self-hating homos would support the GOP that now officially backs conversion therapy

How long will Betty Ford hold him without payment? How long does the Fund Me thing go to?

Give us a fucking break, R138. You don't seem to get it: Chi Chi paid many of her porn "stars" in drugs rather than cash because HE IS A DEALER. And a particularly vile one, at that. Yes, Joey Stafano was a user and hooker before he met Chi Chi, but it was Chi Chi that made him a "star" and an addict. She built him up, used him to make big bucks, and kept the drugs flowing, even when Stafano knew he hit rock bottom and wanted out. Instead, Chi Chi would beg, plead, bribe and if all else failed, coerce him into another scene, another appearance, another hit. It's not that Chi Chi is a dealer and a pimp; it's that she claimed to care so deeply for Stefano ("I loved him more than any lover I've ever had" was what she said, but I think that speaks more to the fact that Chi Chi has had few meaningful relationships more than anything else) and has been very vocal whenever she's been challenged on his whole involvement and destruction of Stefano's life. And that's what pisses me off about Chi Chi, not some affection for Stefano.

Bottom line: Stefano died, Chi Chi made enough to money off him (and the rest of her "customers") to form Channel 1 and buy the Catalina catalog... and blow it all because she's a drug using and dealing hypocrite. Chi Chi's past is littered with damaged boys looking for the charade that Chi Chi waived in front of them with malice, greed and drug-fueled narcissism.

Do you remember back when Larry had Joey do his first bisexual film? Larry was going on and on to the "gay press" how this was the first time that Joe's ever cum twice in a single scene, and that was because of Sharon Kane's presence. Like it was SO much hotter with a woman!

That's always been Larry's agenda: turning gay men bisexual or straight.

Surprising that Chick-Fil-A still didn't donate to her ex-gay business...

Sharon Kane has gotten more gay/bi dick that many gay men have. Chi Chi put her in most of the straight movies he did for Vivid also. In one she rimmed Randy Spears (after his looks started declining sadly). I'll give her credit for keeping her body in shape, but I don't see how anyone could've gotten it up for her after seeing her face after she messed it up with the plastic surgery. She was never a beauty, though.

I am nowhere near close to that business ............ but CHI CHI HATER: Why hasn't anyone 'exposed' Chi Chi ? These many people she injured ........clearly she is now in no position to retaliate and she is still fairly relevant in the porn business.

Where is the scathing expose' where others in the know tell all the tales ?

Sorry--- an anonymous board isn't going to serve as facts ............ I'm sure there are others besides Chi Chi that are still alive ..........and frankly, I'd be very interested in hearing it all from people who were there and lived to tell the tale.

I suppose you're addressing me as the Chi Chi hater, which is a badge of honor from my point of view, but that's another discussion. I left porn a long time ago (in porn terms, anyway) and one of the reasons I left was over the beat down I took from Chi Chi. Even today, from a rehab, he is still a force in the industry; he owns, at least partly, one of the few remaining independent companies, and commands a great deal of respect, due mostly to the way he browbeats anyone with an opposing opinion.

From the industry insiders' point of view, there are good pornographers and bad pornographers, and never shall the 'twain meet. And never mind that to everyone else, we're all the same. I'm hoping that maybe this latest relapse into drugs and addiction will finally make the few good people remaining in the business wake up and see Chi Chi for who he really is, and all of the damage he has done to the industry. I'm not holding my breath.

I fully expect that a Chi Chi defender or maybe even Chi Chi herself to come roaring into this discussion, however, and intimidate anyone with an opposing viewpoint. Just as she has done for nearly 30 years. The good news is that Chi Chi's industry is a relic. The bad news is that what's replaced it is no better.

[quote] he owns, at least partly, one of the few remaining independent companies, and commands a great deal of respect, due mostly to the way he browbeats anyone with an opposing opinion.

WTF? This type of person never garners respect.

I agree, Nick was no saint but he had quick help down the short path to hell on earth.

Hello Chi Chi! Remember you're still breathing, you worthless user...

Obviously R163 is not aware that Chi Chi was *the* driving force behind condoms in porn, and she browbeat anyone who opposed her (aided and abetted by many willing sycophants), all the while engaging in exactly the behavior that put gays in the position in the first place. And she was lauded, supported and respected by the industry who buried their heads in the sand regarding the reality of gay sex. I say it again: how do you spell Chi Chi? H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E.

Is Chi Chi allowed to wear her fake tits in the rehab?

Did Chi Chi get any help from his good friend, RuPaul?

Glad to see ChiChi and Roma outed as the druggie pimps they truly are. Nothing is more disgusting than a smug drag queen getting sanctimonious about "recovery" after they've hit rock bottom and lost their dealing connections.

These two drag whores have killed more people than the latest mall shooter. They're both despicable.

Isn't Sister Roma big into the bareback scene? If Chi Chi is so pro condom why is he hanging out with that slag?

No, Roma is not into bareback. He's actually one of Chi Chi's strongest defenders on the issue, and is quite outspoken against barebacking. The irony is, of course, there's a high correlation between drugs and barebacking, so it's kind of a self-defeating act to sell drugs whilst opposing barebacking, when you think about it.

Campaign still stalled with $ 55 (so far) donated today, $ 50 total donated yesterday and $ 295.00 donated the day before that.

I wonder if famous friends and co-workers are not donating because of Chi Chi's (apparent) history & reputation as well as her previous attempts at rehab.

As well as Larry's sanctimonious attitude about being #Sober and preaching about it all over the Internet.

"You sound like Jim and Tammy Faye on Nightline!"

I just wondered because you always see Roma with Trenton Ducati and Rocco Steele on the blogs.

He is out and clean.

Stuff you should know.

1) Larry has NEVER been rich. Porn directors, even major ones, don't make millions of dollars. Yes, he owns a PART of a flailing porn company that's not a major player anymore. Yes, he owns a catalog of porn classics but how many people are paying $$$ to own a 40 year old gay porno film?

2) What money he has made either went up HIS nose, or someone elses (for most of the 90s) or on parties or on the "lifestyle". Then he spent thousands to get thin/plastic surgery.

3) What money he does have, comes from the porn store in WeHo....which ain't a lot.

4) Booze is his main problem now and what led to the intervention that got him in rehab

5) He's at Hazeleden in Minnesota to be close to his family. He's always had a strong relationship with them. It was the family's decision to bring him "home".

6) Is he a saint? No. Is he the biggest sinner of all time and personally responsible for "killing" Joey Stefano and every other gay porn mess in L.A?

Don't be ridiculous.

I always thought the Blackballed series was hot, he should do another one of those, instead of bottom of the barrel porn with bisexuals like a Trenton Ducati Adam Russo and Spencer Reed, those 3 seem to be in all his movies recently.

R174 ....... he's OUT ? I just thought that FB update was about getting his 30 chip, not that he had left rehab. Huh.

One thing this thread led me to do was to google Joey Stefano. I was in my "I'm a Christian and can't look at that stuff" phase when he was in his prime. My god, what a beautiful young man. His life and death are so tragic. May he rest in peace.

Trenton Ducati is gay, gay, gay.

Not sure where this bisexual shit comes from.

This thread still makes me want real dish on Chi Chi .......... after that tacky 'Criminal Cocks' DVD she did, someone needs to do 'Chi Chi Larue: Exposed' ........ I want to know the dirty details ? Was she paying porn models in drugs ? Did she sell drugs for money ? favors ?

R178 will you "pray for him"?

Can't hurt, R181. I've had a complicated life. I'm sure I'm not the only one on these forums with all kinds of baggage.

I just imagine that ugly little rodent in a blonde wig making all the "talent" slip it to her as a condition for getting any job.

They earned every penny.

[quote]Yes, he owns a catalog of porn classics but how many people are paying $$$ to own a 40 year old gay porno film?

Truly remastered (not retreads from VHS masters) on Blu-ray with some extras at a $19.99 price would make a nice profit.

I would actually prefer owning the films on physical media rather than just watching it on my tablet. The quality is so much better. On the other hand, we're talking about jack off material, not Dr. Zhivago.

I actually joined his streaming channel for a month (a while back) so I could watch a bunch of the old Catalina stuff and the All Worlds stuff, etc .........

Guess Chi Chi bought some vodka .........should've waited until she needed it for rehab.

R182 also, it can't do anything good for him. Sorry if I'm rude, but I went to brainwashing Catholic school all my life, starting from kindergarten, and these pre-cooked phrases really get on my nerves. Because you know that the people who force this phony stuff into your head, more often than not have no real respect or empathy for other people.

[quote]Is he a saint? No. Is he the biggest sinner of all time and personally responsible for "killing" Joey Stefano

Yes, he is responsible for Stefano's death. Stefano hot rock bottom, knew it, and wanted out of the "lifestyle" (for lack of better word) but Chi Chi needed another movie, more cash, whatever... and supplied him with the drugs on which he overdosed. In a court, Chi Chi could be brought up on charges, but that would mean that a prosecutor cared enough about a lowly porn star to actually do their job, and, well, this was LA in the '90s.

[quote]and every other gay porn mess in L.A?

Every other? No. Several? Yes. Chi Chi has a modus operandi, however, in which he would trade drugs for performances. Everyone in the industry was well aware of this activity, and this is not the first time that I, and many others, both here and elsewhere have brought this up. There is obviously no question that Chi Chi is a user and a dealer. There is a question regarding how long we're going to hold up Chi Chi as some paragon of virtue when reality says otherwise.

There is a ton of untoward bullshit in the gay porn industry. I keep coming back to calling out Chi Chi's hypocrisy for saying one thing and doing the opposite himself. And I think if average gays knew the truth about Chi Chi, they would agree.

Larry's apologists are probably in the Cult of NA/AA as well, just like Robin Williams' last wife.

Those fake cults do nothing but give you an excuse not to own up to your mistakes. "It's a disease!" No, it's not.

Larry needed to be honest with himself and stop preaching his #Sobriety on Twitter for years when it was ALL A LIE.

You're a bigger retard then I thought R154. Are you too stupid to look up his personal Facebook page? I mean you have some odd obsession with making up life stories about him that are obvious lies. You really need help.

R179 from the fact he spends too much time around female whores.

Larry owns very little of the retail store, and I'm surprised that it's still in business. It's mostly a flyover tourist trap for gays.

I don't know anything about Chi Chi, Joey Stefano, Sister Roma , Blake...but this is a very interesting thread.

R187, call the "prayers" good thoughts then. I was also raised a certain way, and I haven't been able to completely shake it off the way you have. I also don't believe you have to be an atheist to be gay. Things have happened in my life that seem to be too providential to be considered coincidences. Maybe you're correct, and they are just coincidences. But it doesn't hurt to think otherwise. And I never try to force my beliefs on other people. They're very private and really don't jive completely with any organized religion anyway.

Adam Russo bi?

WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?

Oh that's right. It didn't!

R195

"No, Roma is not into bareback. "

Of course not! Condoms were great for her drug mules to shove the meth up their asses while traveling.

Roma, Hot House, Gloss "magazine" are all part of the gay mafia drug syndicate.

Um no r196. Read this thread all over again. Chi Chi has gay man fucking women in straight porn. May I suggest a good optometrist?

R198, no what? Here's Adam Russo with a woman.

AGAIN gay man fucks woman in straight porn! What part of gay don't you get?

what part of R195 question don't you get?

"Adam Russo bi?"

Yes, he is.

Adam Russo is a gross rat of a man! Aren't both he and his bf pos barebackers in their real lives?

R202, think of poor unsuspecting women this bi trash may infect :(

STFU with the "bi" vs. "Gay" whore thing, you cunts. We're attacking the pimp addict LARRY/CHI CHI.

Stay on topic or go start another thread.

Larry has destroyed the lives of many gay men because of his straight-worshipping fantasy

I've noticed that Johnny Hazzard hasn't said anything about any of this either. He was an exclusive performer for Chi Chi for several years and I thought they were close.

There is still money to be made in old porn releases on DVD and Bluray. Maybe not as nearly as much as in the past but still some. I know of two straight companies that are still putting out remastered stuff and profiting - Distribpix and Vinegar Syndrome.

And today brings in another $ 50 to the fund ........... That'sabout 90 minutes of rehab time. Or a decent bottle of wine.

Trenton Ducati is bi, he posts endless pictures of naked women on his twitter said he wanted to do straight porn, refused to deny the rumours he was bi, he also did an interview where he said he used to have sex with up to 10 women a day.

Most of these guy that do bi porn are not gay, some might be, but guys like Blake Riley or Blake Harper are not gay, they are bisexual. There is no reason to make bi porn, there is no money in it for a performer, guys are paid less for bi porn, so the only reason they do it is becuase they are bisexual and into sex with women.

All the guys that do bi porn on CF or SC are all either straight or bi curious, none are gay.

I keep McDonalds, Target and Starbucks gift cards on hand for addicted people asking for help, and never give cash. Could you send an address, Chi Chi? I want to make sure you spend wisely!

Had to look up this Sister Roma. This is in gay porn?Yikes

Roma is a mess, like most of her sistren.

Why would you bother putting video shot for 4x3 NTSC on BluRay, R184? The masters for most of this collection probably are on VHS. We're not talking about Hollywood pictures shot on actual film, or even preserved on high quality videotape. And what extras? Do you think there were minions fluttering about shooting video behind the scenes? If you're lucky, there might be a few minutes of footage before the action got going, or some out takes that were cut for whatever reason, but those are pretty rare. Videotape was prohibitively expensive in the early days, and frequently source reels were reused.

If the original material was shot on film, mostly likely 8mm, the process of converting it to video is prohibitively expensive. The last time I looked into it, telecine was about $100 per minute. I've seen people actually just set up a projector and a video camera, and roll the film while pointing the camera at the screen.

And then there's color correcting, removing drop-outs, fixing audio problems... incredibly time consuming work.

There's always folks who say they would like a copy of this porn movie or that, but when the time comes to actually buy the DVD or pony up the monthly subscription fee, they evaporate. And let's face it, anyone who wants a copy can always just download it for free anyway. As so many posters here have said, in thread after thread, there's actually anybody who pays for porn anymore? Uh, no, there isn't. And when you're talking about movies that are up to 40 years old, the market is even smaller.

The straight market is only slightly better, R207, and only because there are so many more straight guys who buy porn.

There was a brief rush in the early '00s when the condom-only crowd realized they had hours and hours of movies of raw dick going up ass, and frantically tried to label them "bareback" and re-release them. Chi Chi did release some of the old such Catalina titles, but didn't realize that her fetishization of cum had transformed the industry, specifically the type of action shown, and these old "pre-condom classics" (as they were sometimes billed) had about as much in common with bareback as Gone With The Wind has in common with Titanic (not trying to draw any other parallel there, so no hate!).

Sorry to disappoint. Most of these old movies are lost and gone forever. Like I said before, the only reason anyone would remaster and re-release an old gay porn movie is because they have a personal connection to the film or are truly devoted to preserving this tiny bit of our history regardless of the lack of any kind of return.

I am sad that a lot of old porn movies are lost forever, gone with the VHS tapes. It reminds me of all the ancient Greek and Roman classics that were lost, when papyrus gave way to paper.

R213 I've got a DVD of Brothers Should Do It which looks to have been shot on 16mm. It's not bad but probably wouldn't look so hot on Blu-ray.

The big problem is that on the old celluloid prints the color fades. On Brothers, the whole thing has an amber tint as the blues and greens have faded. So a lot depends on the quality of the print and how you're willing to spend on conversion.

R215 Let's get TCM and the UCLA Film and Television Archive right on that!

One new donation for $ 100 yesterday.

Have they thrown him out yet?

Miss La Rue is supposed to entertain the nudists at the Poconos later this month. Will she make it?

The psychotic, bi-phobic cyber stalker on this thread = Damon Kruezer

Who is Damon Kruezer? Some porn guy?

Interesting when "gay" or guys pretending to be gay like Blake Riley have sex with a woman or transgender woman, they brag about it and are do full of pride and talk about how much the loved it and want to do it again. They do talk as if it converted them, all the gay or bi models that do bi straight porn do this, yet when a straight guy talks about gay postman they always talk it down, like it made them more sure of their heterosexuality, it was such a turn off they vomited, they hate and have to think of pussy the whole time.

They biz seems so anti gay and full of anti gay cunts.

Didn't Kreuzer die? Or did his mother turn off the internet to the basement?

Wonder if Chi Chi is packing her bags yet ...... NO new donations at all today.

I guess the backlash every time Roma & company try to spread the word in a big way is just too huge.

Maybe a big anonymous donation was made off site of the GFM campaign. Would it be a charitable tax write off for someone ?

Weird that so many gay pornstars should support the a Republican Party.

Did Ru help out off the GoFundMe page?

They're supposed to be best friends.

Ru is best friends with Chi Chi? Based on what I've read about Chi Chi in this thread I'm surprised by that.

Another $ 0 donation day for Chi Chi's GFM ..........

As a funny commenter on Str8UpGayPorn wrote: "She tried to make us pay for rehab and we said 'No, No, No, No' "

I find this GoFundMe much more worthy and compelling.

Salvation Army ARCs loves gays who try to be straight, Chi Chi, and they're free!

I'd contribute to R229's name change fund.

Supposedly, Ru wanted Chi Chi on Drag Race or Drag U but the network said no so Lady Bunny got the Drag U gig.

$ 100 more added yesterday ............

No new updates since a wee ago when they closed up Chi Chi's GFM account and moved her off to a cheaper facility ............ guess she really doesn't have enough cash to cover the expense. Or would rather hold on to what she has and do it more cheaply than pay that much herself.

She won't have it easy once done since I can't imagine she'd do well working at bars as a DJ ......that's a lot of temptation.

"If you're stupid enough to do them and get caught in addiction, that's your problem. I am as far from a Republican as you can get but that is one thing taxpayer's money should not go to."

You're not as far as you think.

One of the other gay blogs posted about this, and 99% of the comments attacked her/him.

The pimp should just go to an AA meeting in the Valley.

Idk why DL has so many threads about this.
