My money is on Prison!
Sad. Everyone is ready to drop the world on his doorstep and give him everything he could ever want and he screws it up.
Well, I have kind of an unrelated comment - this is sad of course, but having watched a lot of his porn movies - which most of them are better than ok, I can't help but feel he thinks big equipment is all it takes. The other thing that was "interesting" - a DVD was advertising "Michael Brandon in this title, that title - endless titles - but each one was basically just him applying his instrument to someone else's posterior. So my point is if he DOESN'T return to porn, I don't think the world will miss too much.
He may otherwise be a nice person - we all have flaws - but I almost laughed out loud when he was being interviewed on the extra features of one of his DVD's and said something about being married (to a woman). I mean, you had to hear the interview - he sounds so stereotypically gay, and the mannerisms - I can't believe anyone thought he was straight.
For his own sanity and recovery he should move to the middle of nowhere and wait tables or be a sales clerk. The porn world is what set his drug habit over the edge……
well i would let him work out his rehab @my house but id be laughing so hard i dont think wed ever get much accomplished dude & he is a dude has got to be THE MOST nelly top in queer porn but hey i wish him the best anyway
^^^ Say what?
Who cares? Get well, that's all.
I second Mike. I really don't care who he is, I just hope he gets better.
With all the money he has made with Raging Stallion. It just hard to be sympathetic to him. However hopefully this time his recovery will work!
@CondeNasty: Waiters never have drug problems? Compulsion is compulsion is compulsion, whether you're a nobody in the boondocks or a porn star. Brandon's struggled with this problem before, and if you'd read up a little on it, you'd know that he kicked the habit before, was very proud and happy to be clean, and relapsed. These kinds of things happen to people who happen to be human beings.
And in any case, Brandon is a talented director in addition to being a gifted performer. My (tar-black) heart goes out to him.
Why is this news? Meth in porn…wow, so rare.
If he was my b-friend, I would have changed the locks already. I guess that he will be taking a HIV cocktail next like the rest of the Meth Queens.
Well for what I heard he is getting one year in rehab and 18 months probation!!!
I love Michael and I know what he is going through because I sure did.
I wish him all the best.

He needs to do SERIOUS Jail time! He had been through rehab before! I used to love Michael Brandon too but the thing is Michael loves his drugs more than anything else! He is allo a VERY OLD 44 today and looks far older! His birthday is Feb 9th! He is worn out and had comitted hideious crimes! He deserves to be locked away! Making a come back? Wow! What vulnerable young homesexual is he going to recruit into the PnP world this time????!!!!!
Wow! How vain and arrogant can you get???! The asshole gets off light with only court ordered rehab and he also gets a public defender etc. Wow! Amazing he sells drugs, lives a hypocrite life for years (btw he was not on a 10 month run; he was using over 3 years and there are witnesses + since he has publically done poppers since 2000 he is not clean in any means - - POPPERS are against the NA programme)
Michael Brandon is an embarassment to gay men everywhere - - he promotes porno like it is a drug and a necessary item in gay life! He makes the world think that gays are street trash, sex-crazed druggies! He is so full of himself! What audacity to state he relapsed due to NA groups and that there is no anonymity for him! What utter bullshit! If what he does for a living does not keep him clean then HE and no one else has to make serious changes! IT IS NEVER ABOUT THE GROUP - IT IS ABOUT the INDIVIDUAL! Brandon (or is it Philips?) also was a free agent to find new meetings and work with new sponsors who would protect his anonymity! This horrific porno queen is a perfect example of trying to blame others for things that are 100% your fault! Get a life Michael and quit embarassing the gay community!
What a sick and stupid hypocrite! Michael Brandon - asshole and IDIOT of the year vows a comeback! In another breath he complains that he cannot go to 12-step N.A. or AA meetings because as “Superstar” Michael Brandon “he has no anonymity!” BULLSHIT MICHAEL! BULL FUCKEN SHIT! He’s such an ass + HYPOCRITE he says in one breath to please a judge that he’ll do ANOTHER REHAB and then he goes and calls the press and does an interview lamenting that he cannot get clean cause NA and AA do not allow him anonymity! GET A FRIGGIN grip MICHAEL — - There are lots of gay and straight people at 12-step meetings who do not care about your porno career or your dick size! You are so conceited to think people are obsessed with you — GOD, you are an asshole! + you are getting rahter old and ugly any how so change your name to back to Michael Phillips - THROW THE POPPERS BOTTLES + DRUG PARAPHANELIA out and get a life! Get a career — go to college! One time Michael was going to fuck me and he said, “Relax your spinkter muscle…” I looked at him and said “And, I have only 1 spinkter muscle??” Michael said “yes!” God, what an idiot = FYI Michael the average caucasian American male has 22-27 spinkter muscles! Have you ever had a biology class in your life???? Have you ever in your travels which you thought you were so fucken hot BOTHERED to learn another language???? Can you even tell a Leonardo brushstroke fron a Cezanne brush stroke? Do you know the difference of acid and base and Fresco seco and Fresco Vero? Stop thinking people want your cock! They don’t cause if they did your “so-called” fans would have raised funds for you to have a legal defense! They do not love you so quit worrying about them you asshole! You want recovery and anonymity - RIGHT! What you want is sympathy and a world where you do not work or contributre anything yet you want your cock worshiped and to party like hell and get on the cover of magazines as a “VICTIM” - - Michael you are your own victim and deserve life in prison! IDIOT, lying BITCH-CUNT- WHORE!
Anything negative about Michael Brandon is Bullshit because Michael is obligated to do porno because of his dick size! He owes this to the world and has no choice! He gets under pressure and has to do drugs because that is the only way to cope in life! Lay off him! He has no choice because you see, fame and fortune are difficult and he can’t go to meetings cause he will be recognized and everytime he goes to see a shrink or a doctor that professional wants to go down on Michael too. The problem is that Michael is such a big star that he needs the drugs to manage his life so give him a break! Plus poppers and alcohol and even pot aren’t really drugs! We all do these substances and get busted from time to time and then we manage and get through it! Michael needs these things cause it is hard to have the calling of such a big porno star who contributes so much to humanity and the progress of the nation + world peace and help to those in need! Afterall, look at what happened to poor Ryan Idol. We wouldn’t want Michael falling out of any windows and we want him around so we can all sit on his dildo of monster cause that is a very important contribution for world peace and a betterr ecconomy! I do not know what I woudl do if it was not for my “monster dildo!” it gives me so much peace and happiness and aside from michael himself it is the only thing I truly love in this world! Millions of people owe their very existence to what michael has done with his large penis! The world is such a better place because of this! Furthermore, it is not Michael Brandon’s fault that Raging Stallion hates him and he is not allowed on their property! You do not understand that people are jealous of his stardom and big penis and they have to do and say nasty things to cope. Michael is forgiving though and forgives all of them while he slams and toots. That is wha slamming and tooting is for though! Michael is a victim cause in San Francisco there are no human services, no HIV case management (and yes bois he doee got that disease alson with the other sickness!), no doctors, phychologists, legal aid, nursing staff, no 12 step meetings, no people with similar experience as Michael who have stayed off of drugs for a decade or more.
You see, Michael had no choice; he was forced to use and forced to undo his anti-meth work of 1999-2004 because the world was mean to him and put lots of pressure on this poor fellow! Lastly, because Michael has so many fans, he has to do drugs in order to manage them and the time demands they put on him. He has to do drugs to stay hard and take care of his fans. Certainly even with the power of meth, Michael’s time is difficult to manage and he has to not shown up at places he promises to and people inevitable have to bet burned through no fault of Michael’s.
Any way, getting arrested is no big deal! Everyone who is anyone has been arrested and done time! I mean that is part of being an important person!
Give the guy a break, he is so wonderful and loving and fucks everyone with love! And lord knows we all need to be fucked and especially by the rare dick michael’s size so he is obligated! He deserves nothing but unconditional love and tons of awards for his world-changing wonderful work in the pornography industry! +++ It is not Michael’s fault the press got involved! He would never ever call them or volunteer an interview! Michael deserves anonymity so lay off people and just love this wonderful guy who deserves your love no matter what!
@Michael (Phillips) Brandon is my GOD: OK that was actually pretty funny. Mean, acidic, but funny.
Oh! I meant for it to be very serious because Michael Brandon is God and we all need to build temples to worship this savior and lord of all humanity! Please surrender all your love to Michael Phillips Brandon!
@Michael (Phillips) Brandon is my GOD: Do me a favor and blog about that at someplace inappropriate, like DailyKos. I'll go over there and recommend it for the hilarity.
Oh and do not foret that it was some one else's fault that syrenges with illegal substances were made up and Michael Brandon was OBLIGATED to inject them into his veins! he had no choice! Also, Michael did so much work to get men off Meth so he now has the right to use and sell all the meth he want! Because People should know to do what Michael Brandon says not what he does! I mean come on this is mere logic!
If you direct me to where in the heck Daily Kos is I am happy to post my sort of humor / realism there… They probably need it desperately or Michael Brandon's Monster in a certain body opening.
@Michael (Phillips) Brandon is my GOD: You go! I too am sick and tired of Michael Brandon, Michael Brandon's image, Michael Brandon's lies, his falsehood, his bad movies and his monopolizing the gay porn industry! With him out of the picture some real talent can excel! Michael Brandon is a filthy, dirty, deceiving, lying cunt-whore who truly should have gone to the gas chamber at San Quentin becasue of all the young people he gave disease to through fucking them, all the young people that have died due to his supplying them with drugs and all the young people who watched him bareback and caught a disease and subsequently died! He is a murderer of the worst kind. Michael Brandon only wants INSTANT GRATIFICATION and does not care if it costs human lives!
@Irish Sinner: That Dog is a menace to society - Michael Brandon ought to be destroyed! Fucken Bitch-CUNT-Whore!!!!
@pop-6-squish-ahah-cicero_: Michael Brandon is a toilet face! He is also way too full of shit to flush himself and he is overflowing with his shit lies and crap!
@Alec: exactly what do you mean by that?
You know, it is so obvious that Michael Brandon did not truly love his fans! In fact it is quite clear that he lied to us and cheated us! All Michael Brandon ever cared about INSTANT GRATIFICATION and getting stoned out of his brains! Brandon has abused his beautiful body to the point that he looks worn and broke-down. Brandon hooked up with an UGLY illegal alien from Mexico (hence breaking more laws of the USA which he disrespects anyhow!) and his name is Marcos Monzon! Monzon is an alcoholic and embarassing to be around. He was fired from an Equity play called Strip Barely Legal for being constantly drunk and hungover. Marcos played the role of "Precious" with major porn stars doing supporting roles…
Brandon stole from Raging Stallion and ruined that company's reputation!
Thank goodness for the fans of gay porn that on the other Coast of America, there is Michael Lucas! Wow! Lucas is awesome, drug free and is never drunk or intoxicaed! Michael Lucas is sexy with an exoctic accent and enchanting European flair! Michael Lucas is also far better looking and has a nicer body than Michael Brandon! And Lucas has a sweet, giving, warm and charming personality to compare to Brandon's arrogant and selfish idiocity!
If anything good happens from Michael Brandon's inevitable fall is that Lucas Entertainment will flourish! Raging Stallion will not corode the industry with their garbage films and Lucas will expand into new areas of the market! Thank goodness that us fans have another Michael besides hideous Michael Brandon to watch and look at! I wish the true to life Michael Lucas a wonderful career for decades to come! He is a perfect role model for young gay men unlike the disgusting druggie Brandon!
@Michael Lucas (NOT Michael Brandon) Fan: I agree that Michael LUCAS is a far better performer, creative person, director and producer than Michael Brandon could ever wish to be… Brandon is a loser! Everyone knows that the only thing he has ever had in his favor is a large penis. Well, now that penis is old and attached to a hagged-oug, butt-ugly wornout drug body that no one wants! Michael Lucas is also HONEST which is an adjective only insane people could ever use towards Michael Brandon again! Lucas takes care of his body, works out, sees his esthetitian and more. Lucas also is smart and educated! Michael Brandon clearly has not one drop of education! Oddly though Lucas had to escape from the Soviet Union and get his beauty and cultural development! Michael Brandon, on the other hand, was born into the lap of luxury in the OC and should have at least a masters degree and should b e smart and should have used the countless resources for health and beauty available to him! Even after 8.5 years in prison and a decade of hiding behind "Oh it is a disease" Brandon swtill does stupid shit with his life and wastes time and money of others with his CRIMES of addiction! He has had plenty of time and opportunity to "arrest his disease!" His actions and lies of the past 11 or so years are inexcusable! I do hope Brandon dies soon so the world can be free from his bitching and moaning! We all hate it! Hopefully vid shelves will no longer be corrupted with his stupid-ass image too! Make room on those shelves for all the outstanding Michael Lucas appearances and projects PLEASE!!!!!! Move over Michael Brandon there's a hotter Michael that we all love an want!
Teens don't need a drug dealer to get high! All they got to do is slip in a Michael Brandon video and watch! Brandon is a nasty, evil example for young people all over the world! I personally think he should be taken out and shot!
Truly Michael Brandon owes an enormous debt to society for all the lies and cheating and con art getting youngsters and older ones alike onto drugs, and giving them AIDS, herpes and psychological trauma!
