Guest jessedane Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 It appears that today Rico wrote on his blog that I am now doing bareback porn and have no problems with unsafe sex. That is a complete and utter lie. I have never performed in a bareback porn. He can say I have all he wants, but it comes down to the fact that there are no videos anywhere of me having unsafe sex. In addition I still play safe with my clients and all my other sexual partners. Protecting others as well as protecting myself from other things that could cause complications for me is very important to me. I hope this clears up any questions anyone may have. Quote
Members Lucky Posted August 29, 2006 Members Posted August 29, 2006 Your website is indeed very clear on your commitment to safe sex. You are to be commended for that. The blogger you refer to makes stuff up to amuse himself. I suggest that you ignore him. Quote
Guest VoxPennae Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Jesse, There is no doubt that Reeko manufactures items to drive traffic to his blog. While Lucky may advocate ignoring his statement, the honest truth is that charges like that have to be refuted. Otherwise, as in politics, the opponet gets to set the agenda. The lack of a public respsone gives the impression the false charges are true. The unfortunate thing here is that a charge like this can stick and you may have to deal with the repercusions possibly for a long time. Meaning, you may start getting inquiries from potential clients seeking to bareback. Reeko obviously does not care if this does any damage to your reputation or to your business. All he cares about is luring more rubes into his sideshow tent. Quote
TotallyOz Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Jesse, Thank you for the clarification. However, even though you present a public persona, you should not feel you must reply to all aspects of your private life. Part of the course of being a well-known escort is that people talk about you all the time. That is not a bad thing. You will however get some detractors and for them, you just smile and move on. I respect the fact that when you tested positive that you posted that information so clients would know and you put that information on your website. That takes guts and a big set of balls to disclose information that could potentially cause you to loose your source of income. It is people like you that pave the way for others to talk more openly about HIV. Whether or not you chose to do porn or to bareback in your private or professional life is up to you and not a decision that should be made by your adoring pubic. You are the only one that can make decisions regarding the directions you take. I do believe that 2 consenting adults should be able to do anything legal they desire. I have always said this and I am a firm believer in adults having the ability to make their own choices with their body and their life. That being said, the fact that you not only disclose this information to your prospective clients and former clients speaks volumes about you as a person. I had a long-time boyfriend for many years that is HIV. He was HIV when I met him 12 years ago and we were together for over 4 years. I did not know anything about HIV or AIDS when I met him and he taught me a great deal about HIV and people’s reactions to it. When I first found out his status, I went into a deep depression and it took a while for me to dig my way up. I am still negative; but the knowledge I gained from him is what has keep me that way. Like you, he wanted to protect me from the virus. He helped me to understand many things about people living with HIV. It is people like you who will help countless others that come in contact with you. I am twice your age. But, the wisdom you show and the discussion you advance make it easier for others to be more honest with sexual partners. I wish I had the balls to stand up for my reputation and myself when I was your age. Again, thanks for the posting and the dialogue. Oz Quote
Guest jackhammer91406 Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 It saddens me that you have become the latest victim of this piece of human garbage. As a frequent target (tho certainly not as often as Lucky) I have come to know that there is little one can do when someone is willing to tell a lie and swear to it. The problem with this monkey is he has no accountability. Even the escort from Texas who has put blind items in his blog defaming other escorts, has some accountability because he has to face the customers who may or may not want to hire such a person. Rico faces no such test and as such has shown over and over that he has no personal integrity. He states his mission is to entertain, but it is never at his own expense, always at someone else's. It's a poor excuse for a human being that delights in tarring others with a brush he couldn't stand himself. jackhammer say: If death wishes were reality, this so called newsman would fold his tent and move on or get a soul, instead of selling it for web hits.

Guest jessedane Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks for the kind words everyone. In regards to ignoring vs. responding. I have ignored many things over the past when people started false rumors about me in various forms, but I felt that this was something that I needed to respond to as it could have a direct effect on my business. I was more concerned about my reputation in the porn industry than as an escort. Because I am in the process of launching my own company it is very important for me right now to uphold a personal reputation that holds the same standards and values I am putting forth with my company. As far as there being no repurcussions for Rico for what he writes in his blog, that may not be the case. I have spoken with an attorney and he feels that there could be very good grounds for a slander case here. People who write blogs think they are completely unnacountable for anything they say and that the 1st amendment protects them indefinitely, but many attorneys are starting to target cases such as this. I'm evaluating my options and trying to decide what I want to do. Quote

It is not always wise for those in business to leave charges hanging unanswered. It is also not wise to make more of them than is necessary to make your position clear. You have addressed the issue with economy and style. Unnecessary elaboration only provides grist for the mill for others to grind. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 As one of Rico's unpopular fans and a fan of yours I need to respond. Since you came out as being POZ you have been very upfront and I have no doubt that what you say here isn't true. But don't let a blogger (Rico or others) get to you. I doubt anyone even reads them other than me, well and I guess you Take good care Jesse. Good luck with your new company. Quote
Guest VoxPennae Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I have to agree with TY here. You don't want to be upping the ante with this idiot. Your initial reply was sufficent and classy. To make threats about lawsuits just feeds into the freak's ego. Let him shuffle some more cards and he will put together some more lies in due course. Remember, he needs to pull rubes into his sideshow tent and you don't want to help him sell tickets. Quote
Guest TakeTwo Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Jesse, Speaking as Rico’s number 1 target since he began his RR and now his THVN, I can assure you that his little newsroom and fantasy staff of reporters consists of nothing more than a jumbo size jar of extra-dry-skin Vaseline, a beta max machine (top loader yet) with a jammed tape of his favorite movie character, Baby Jane Hudson, and an old frayed blanket from his early years which he now uses to clean up after soiling himself from laughter which he derives from his unrecognized, yet deep personal envy of everyone he writes about. For you Jesse, it’s probably your youth, your long life ahead of you, slim hips and a smooth bubble ass. Rico lives on the back of others because he has no backbone of his own. Rico has mocked and laughed at my HIV status a number of times. He has wished me death as well. He has mocked my mother countless times in his juvenile under developed intellect. He has portrayed my mother with images of being a dog, being screwed from behind by another dog. The list is long and very undistinguished. Rico has lied about more things in his short blogging existence that Carter has suppositories. Or is that pills? Rico has no power over you, your reputation or you life Jesse. You took that away from him a few months ago here when you demonstrated how YOUR youth is so much more developed and character driven than HIS older age could even ever dream of being. You’ve made it publicly clear about your status Jesse, on your blog, on your website and even on your Myplace site (I believe). The great and wonderful thing about honesty is, it can never be undermined by lies when you carry it proudly with you, out in the open and without fear of shame. People like Rico who live in the dark (sunlight burns as I understand) will never understand that because once they do, they will cease to exist. Stand proud and strong Jesse! Your reputation for honesty precedes you and everything else you will ever do when this or any other topic which includes you might come to light. It’s the gift of honesty, it just keeps on giving! A man honest once is more likely to be a man honest twice than anything anyone else could ever suggest to the contrary. You’re already there babe! Let your personal history do the talking Jesse; not the rumblings of an old bitter queen, with no friends and absolutely nothing to lose. It’s simple to disarm Rico. He’s like a small child in a feeding chair waiting to be fed by others because he can't do it on his own. Continue living your life Jesse in the manner you already are. Ignore him and let him starve to death. His life depends upon you Jesse, not the other way around. Never lose sight of that. Lies, like flies, Jessie, will only follow you if you have shit pouring out of every pore of your being. Now if you’ll excuse me, I believe I hear a starving baby crying in the background with a shit filled diaper needing a change which I just need to ignore; I hope you will too……:-) Be well Jesse.

With all due respect to you 4Aces, with most, if not every post you have ever made here, when you have referenced Rico and his Hooville news site, you have always gone to the trouble of linking his site to the readers of this site within your post..Why would you do that when you now want to claim yourself as a victim as well? I'd ask another question here, but I'm doing my best to remain within the guidelines of MER's TOS. :-) Quote

If I gave you or someone else that impression it wasn't meant to be. I enjoy reading the HVN and also like the vids on the rico report. But that doesn't mean I always agree with what Rico posts. I find some of it very disturbing but much of it gives me a good laugh. How can one not laugh at some of the over the top stuff he makes up? And to answer anyones next question he has taken me on several times however, unlike most I really don't care or take it seriously at all. Quote
