I was hired by director Johnny Thrust aka ********** to shoot a boy/girl scene for Brazzers.com. Prior to the scene, during pretty girl stills, I was positioned in front of an older van. When Thrust was positioning me for stills, my left ankle rubbed against the side tail pipe of the van, resulting in a medium sized burn. At the time, we were in the mountains of Simi Valley.
I requested some kind of assistance, even a bottled water to pour onto the burn. Nothing was readily available. They told me the burn did not look bad, I should finish the scene (or not get paid, even a kill fee) and they would take me to get medical attention following.
The scene was completed. I was expecting to get medical attention, instead I was taken to Porno Dan?s studio for a first aid kit. I immediately requested to be taken home, as i merely consider this the proper medical attention necessary.
At that point, I went to a doctor on my own. Within 2 hours, the top layer of skin had started to bubble and bleed. If I had waited, I would have ran the risk of being exposed to bacterial infections, including the set, van, and studios where I was taken to following the injury.
My burn was second degree in severity and took a total of 6 weeks to fully heal. At that point, I was allowed to shoot 1 scene, at day 35 of my healing process. I suffered the loss of MANY shoots due to this injury. My agent at time of booking (type9) tried to communicate with Brazzers and Johnny Thrust, as well as myself, to no avail, almost 3 months later.
I still have a scar, which I currently am receiving laser therapy and skin grafts for, to minimalize the scars and such. I have an all natural body, girl next door look. I have 1 tattoo and had 0 scars, until now. All I asked for was assistance in the treatment and loss of work. I now have an attorney, and will proceed accordingly.

Day 20:
Ouch! Manwin is really building quite a name for itself and it's brands...
Let me guess? Rogue director?
There is more info about this incident at LIB (I'm not sure if we are allowed to link to LIB).
Hopefully this performer gets the care and assistance that she needs, and the justice that she deserves.
