Hell hath no fury like a teenage bodybuilder whose pseudo-fame derives from consuming his own semen scorned. Or something like that.
Michael Hoffman is once again claiming his image has been wrongfully represented in the media. An image, it has to be noted, that he created all on his own.
When we first heard of him, it was because he was claiming an explicit video of him masturbating on camera had leaked. He posted a video message to let us all know that he’s not gay but he’s definitely humiliated. The guy certainly knows how to clean up a mess.
Well last week the internet saw even more of Hoffman (link very NSFW), and wouldn’t you know it? He’s claiming the videos were stolen, this time fingering (sorry) porn star Brent Everett for the crime.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“It’s hard for me to walk around in the public without people looking at me like, ‘Oh, look, that’s the dude who jerks off. Oh, he’s the guy who ate his cum,” he complains in a nearly unwatchable YouTube rant.
Hoffman claims Everett’s studio never paid him for the footage of him exercising, flexing and masturbating.
Amid lots of rambling, he issues this warning: “Brent Everett does NOT have my permission to be putting my videos out there.”
Except it would seem that Brent has every right to be putting those videos out there, seeing as he paid for them.
Brent’s manager/husband Steven Pena gave The Gaily Grind a detailed account of their side of the story, providing texts and proof of payment. He wrote:
Statement from Brent Everett Media on behalf of BrentEverett.com
Steve Pena, Personnel Manager and Director of Public Relations for the company (and husband of Brent Everett) began discussions with Michael Hoffman in mid-December 2014 regarding possible collaboration with him to produce videos for the company. He made it clear that he was acting on behalf of the company and not as a private individual.
He offered Michael Hoffman $8,000 to $10,000 to act as model/performer in gay adult scenes for BrentEverett.com. Mr. Hoffman declined this offer. Steve Pena then offered to represent Michael Hoffman in order to obtain non-gay, non-adult nightclub appearances for him. Mr. Hoffman declined this offer as well.
Following this, Michael Hoffman offered to sell Steve Pena, acting for the company, 14 high definition videos of himself exercising and masturbating for $250. Steve Pena accepted this offer and the videos were paid for using PayPal. It is our understanding that Mr. Hoffman also offered to sell these videos to others.
Here are the text messages Brent between him and Hoffman:
And here is a screenshot of the PayPal payment referenced:
And last but not least, Hoffman’s rant. Bonus points if you can make it through more than 30 seconds of it:

He turned down $10,000 and then took $250 instead?

I like Brent. That Cobra scandal and murder notwithstanding I knew he would come out a smart businessman. He is Canadian and thats to be expected. YOU, unlike others who came out of Cobra, are a class act. No trailer park upbringing in your case.
DonovanS28
I feel bad for this guy…….. He’s like really dumb -_-
Duecer
This is highly disturbing. Perhaps he needs some mental evaluation, he seems to have lost it.
Enron
He’s so handsome though.
DuMaurier
@Enron: Given that it’s unlikely I’ll ever even meet him, much less get personally wrapped up in his drama, that’s enough for me.
john
Ahmm…Whaaaa??? Who is this and why??? Please god make it stop!!!! I thought maybe it was a scandal involving a bodybuilder and some head of state or something. No??? Oh well…i listened to his video…Ok maybe i skipped through..did i miss something???
Paco
He is a prime example of the rarity of being able to find an abundance of beauty and brains in a single package.

Psychologically Stable, Attractive, Intelligent: Pick 2
Or in Hoffmans case, one.
Why eating semen doesnt mean you are gay Hoffman should if known how that and other solo vid would make him seem- these arent made for women!
Spencer696969
While Brent & Steve bought the videos, that does not give them the right to distribute or profit from them.
They didn’t LICENSE the videos and are NOT the copyright holders.
We all purchase music and movies these days, but that doesn’t mean we obtain the rights to said content. (Try profiting from a Lady Gaga song you paid for.)
Hoffman is the legal winner here. If he sues, he would likely win and be awarded damages unless Brent & Steve have a licensing agreement.
MisterDemand
After skipping around Hoffaman seems to be upset that his vids made the rounds on the gay porn sites. I almost feel sorry for him. If allow your videos to be online in any format, then they are online forever. The entire internet and world has access to those vids and you can’t police were they will end up. I honestly dont think he knew that so i guess thatd why hes upset. His real name and image is everywhere. Tough i guess
rense
Brent and Steve screwed the guy over and now that he is calling them out they are trying to make him look stupid.
Michael Hoffman is not the sharpest tool in the box but he is also young, i kinda feel sorry for him.

I have noticed since the first vid was leaked that if you do a little bit of math based on the timing of the filming that Michael Hoffman claimed when the first leak of the first video, his age and the release date, he wasn’t 18 when some (if not all) the videos were originally filmed.
iBLOW
I couldn’t get past the fact that the video was named “masturbating bodybuilder”
Black Pegasus
He obviously made some dumb business decision that should’ve required better judgement, but we’re all guilty of that sometimes in life. I feel badly for the guy. Maybe it’s because I want to bend him over and ram his muscle butt to smithereens, or maybe its because I’m just am empathetic guy. lol hmm, I wonder which could it be…?
Xzamilio
@Black Pegasus: Porque no los dos?
DarkZephyr
I’m with Spencer696969 on this one. I don’t see any evidence that he ever sold them a license to show those videos on their site.
That being said, I am surprised that he thought that they would keep them for private use.
Thomas
@DarkZephyr: Maybe this was all planned on his part? Transmit the media to Brent et al., document that there was no licensing, wait for them to post and BOOM lawsuit? Or would that be giving him too much credit?
Saint Law
His voice has a nice timbre. Srsly – if a tree could talk that’s what it would sound like.
Tho it would make better career choices obv.
spiffy
What a marketing genius! In porn there are a ton of guys smarter and hotter than this kid; now everybody knows who Michael Hoffman is. You can’t buy this kind of publicity!
Bob LaBlah
@spiffy: The only problem is Hoffmann himself. He is his own worst enemy due to nothing else but his personality. This guy comes off as a real douche who IS going to ask for more money at the most “inoppotune” time for the producer.
SportGuy
This kid is a moron and very annoying!
Roan
$250?!? He marked himself down on clearance? SMH
machuffin
I’m thinking 250 was a down payment to view until they viewed and made an offer. Or 250 PER video or 250k. Obviously, he wouldn’t sell approx 10 vids for $250 total when he was offered $10,000 (not sure how many “scenes”). Sure, these are not “gay” scenes but they were still pretty gay. He deserves thousands per vid!
blackberry finn
@Bob LaBlah: Uh, the same Canada also produced Rocco Luka Magnotta. Was that expected? LOL Will Canadians ever come up with any other basis for their “identity” than their border with the U.S.? How about some maple syrup over that big steaming bowl of inferiority complex…?
blackberry finn
He complains about people not sending him money for his videos. Wouldn’t the rational response be to simply request payment before sending, rather than “f*cking over” others for revenge? Not the sharpest tool in the shed….
Bob LaBlah
@blackberry finn: If Rocco Luka Magnotta lived right at the Alaskan border nothing is shocking at all about what he did. lol
It was the “American” influence on the “poor lonely” sick little Hannibal Lechterish bastard. lol
Speaking of him didn’t he plead insane or something along those lines? What happened to that sick little fuck? Your the one who brought him up.
Your correct. This kid in the article is NOT the sharpest tool in the box and to tell you the truth, I would pass on him unless we were at a bathhouse. I really DO see this kid murdering a trick in the near future. You can see he already has a few screws rattling around in his brain and he ain’t professional at all. Look at how he sounds and how his body language/movements all say “I want nothing but money and you the fuck out of my face if you aint got any”. This is what happens when tricks treat kids like they are gods. He previous j/o vids were absolute duds unless one really was that fascinated with this part-time $7.50 and hour grocery store shelf stocker. I couldn’t see him washing his butt before sitting on………………
jwtraveler
@Bob LaBlah: Wrong Brent. Everett’s Canadian. The one you’re thinking of is Corrigan.
Spencer696969
@DarkZephyr: Buying and licensing are not the same thing. Hoffman should lawyer up!
jag4313
I let this play while I was taking a shit. That’s the only way I could make it through this video. Beauty and brains do not always match.
KEVINVENTION
@Paco: True.
KEVINVENTION
@rense: I do, too. He SERIOUSLY needs to get some representation (other than himself) if he’s going to continue on this path. I’m POSITIVE he knows that gay dudes are his main audience. And although he’s undoubtedly not the sharpest tool in the shed, I also think he digs on the gay attention he gets… That said, i’d suck the sh*t out of his dick…
Facebuster
I dont see how people dont see that it was a fake account who sold his videos.
They offered you 8,000 to 10,000 dollars to be a model on they website. He declined for 240 for all 14 videos lmao FAKE!
“He” the fake account declined because the real michael had to show up and do the scenes.
The fake account was very specific on how muich for all 14 videos and it was easy quick money that brent was willing to quickly pay for.
Ya dont see the red flags in this transaction??? lmao Ya saying Michael dumb but if ya dont see it was a fake account than ya not to far from it and prob get catfished on the regular
Bob LaBlah
@KEVINVENTION: That’s called “ass-to-mouth” scene in the porn world and it is getting popular, as is felching (eating the cream pie). The only problem with this little asshole is he would have to show signs of life when/if he is with another person and for him, I really do see that as a challenge he will NOT be able to overcome. I mean seriously, in his videos does he ever show his hole? A gay j/o without a toy at least gets old fast regardless of the six-pac and bubble butt.
You only get to see his ass for all of four or five seconds. This kid is something that needs to be IGNORED. Unfortunately they thought they were getting something for nothing and thats just what they more or less got. A lawsuit from a nothing-ass gay kid who won’t even admit that he’s gay. I honestly did take Brent Everett as the smart one in the twink porn world who had some business sense. I can see I was horribly wrong. He (Everett) did a video for Men.com not to long ago and he looks all of thrity-plus in it. His ass looked flatter, more pancakey like…………..the twink is obviously not a kid anymore.

Dear Straight Guys: Showing off your asshole does not help your “i’m straight” credibility.
Soldier_Medic
@MisterDemand:
In a nut shell, this is it. You can rant your not gay. But the videos he makes, leads one to believe with his videos, he knows what he’s doing and who he’s appealing to.

@redcarpet30:
lol…
tusgold
If he would have STFU no one would even know about it. I wonder how much extra he got paid for that. I bet much more than the $250. This will boost brent’s site 10 fold!! I have an MBA from Carnegie Mellon ranked 15 in the world with a focus on marketing so I do know a great deal about marketing. I bet Brett’s hubby thought this up. EXCELLENT!!
tusgold
the $10,000 was to do scenes with Brent. The videos are not with Brent.
tusgold
If you are telling me that they gave Hoffman $250 for something they can not legally use I will say you are crazy. Brent is the #1 gay porn sttaar self owned site. These guys make millions. It would have never got past their legal team. Did you hear one word about legal action? NO! It’s because Brett’s hubby paid him to make that video too. Gee a gay porn site pirating a str8 young body builder on his porn channel. Thats has everything you need for a 10% lift in viewers. He probably made the most money from this video right here.
tusgold
well, my question is how much did he get paid to do the last video of him saying they were stolen. Thats the money video!
tusgold
You are close Thomas. The money video is the one of him bitching abt brent using it. He ducked that up by saying they are on redtube. Brett Inc paid him big money for the last video he made no mention of getting a lawyer. That’s how I know it’s true I talked to idiots at the phone compamy in PA and they would threaten to hire a lawyer over $1 and they had the brains of a gnat.
tusgold
reaading written content, comprehending it and replying about it is never wasted time as long as you are improving. This sham is hilarious. Brett has stolen videos of a str8 hite boi being gay. Now tell me that dooesnt have every facet of a boom of subscribers. Porn is just like studio wrestling like WWE
tusgold
Michael email me I have some plans for you

There isn’t chinaman’s chance in hell he would get 10K for a shoot. Now Pierre Fitch yes

“Oh, look, that’s the dude who jerks off.”
Is there some other kind of dude?

I made it through 45 seconds. What’s up with the tattoos? He looks like a Yakuza henchman now!
