THAT TOUCH OF PINK

Gay Porn Star Tossed In Jail For Wearing Hot Pink While Assaulting Michael Lucas

Vito_GalloGay porn star Vito Gallo, née Richard Caswell, flew into a coked-up rosy-hued rage after barging into porn impressario Michael Lucas’s offices and just “started beating people up” — all while wearing a hot pink shirt.

The New York Post really wants you to know that Caswell was wearing a hot pink shirt, as if his “flamboyant attire” was somehow responsible for his outburst.

Caswell, one of Lucas Entertainment’s most popular porn stars — “top four”, claims Lucas himself — has an exclusive three year contract with the studio, making $1500 per film. Upset that Lucas wasn’t giving him more work, the 28-year-old former Navy seaman (all puns intended) decided to take matters — and Lucas’s throat — into his own hands.

The Post reports that security footage caught Caswell bursting into Lucas’s Hell’s Kitchen studio on September 12 and proceeding to “push and strike” Lucas about the neck and shoulders as he tried to call the cops.

“He just stormed into our offices and started beating people up,” Lucas told the Post. “Several people locked themselves into the editing suite. You had to see his eyes the veins bulging on his forehead. It was scary.”

Not as scary as suffering a sartorial faux-pas on the way to getting locked up, according to the Post. “Wearing pink to jail isn’t ideal,” the 6’3, 9.5″ performer said Monday as he left a Manhattan courthouse after being charged with trespassing. “I got a lot of looks.”

Perhaps a few fans?

Caswell rejected a no jail plea deal, which would have allowed him a charge of disorderly conduct in exchange for attending anger management classes. Should he choose to rein in his rage, he’ll always-ish have a home at Lucas Entertainment. Apparently not holding any grudges, Lucas said he’d welcome the “very good looking” Vito Gallo back “if he goes through very serious anger management and see a pink shrink.”

As for Lucas, he might want to invest in some better security. This is the second time in three months that some trashbag got rowdy in his presence. But in his defense, Nick Gruber was being aggressively straight, so the Post didn’t have to worry about his “flamboyant attire.”
