The owner of a gay adult film studio has lashed out at industry regulators for imposing a moratorium on filming new content in light of the COVID-19 crisis, saying “you’re literally killing us.”
Performer and studio owner Sergeant Miles, who has had trouble finding scene partners lately as it is thanks to his winning interpersonal skills and proud support of Donald Trump, is now claiming that his inability to shoot new scenes is “causing people to die.”
In a tweet directed at the Free Speech Coalition, the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee, and the Adult Performers Guild, Miles posted a video about food shortages in Venezuela and somehow linked the issue to the on-pause adult industry in the United States:
To those that think keeping the economy shut down is a good idea. This guy articulates very well why that will be worse than the virus.
@FSCArmy
lift this ban and let us work
@apacsocial
@APAGunion
You’re literally killing us

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.
The Adult Performers Guild responded to the dramatic complaint, trying to explain why the moratorium is necessary for both health and legal reasons:
We are all under mandatory stay at home orders by our government. FSC could not possibly lift a moratorium when we aren’t legally allowed to work. Performers , producers, directors and crew member’s health and safety is more important.
That didn’t sit well with Miles, who replied:
Your moratorium is causing people to die there blood is on yours and the government hands. I hope you can sleep knowing what you’re doing
And the Guild tried one more time:
The government called the moratorium by creating stay at home orders. We are all doing our best to help others and cope with this crisis. Again, I understand your anger but it is misdirected. Mental health services are still available and we are happy to help
Not helping matters, fellow performer Dante Thick chimed in to boast of his personal rejection of the filming break:
Your right your choice. I’m still filming. F*ck what they say. I don’t bend a knee to no one.
Just be safe. Duh. I don’t need someone telling me what to do with my life.
I hope things take a change soon for you!

The Free Speech Coalition, for its part, posted an update to its guidelines earlier this month, telling the adult industry:
We will not lift this hold until the spread of the virus is under control and state and local governments allow the resumption of non-essential business.
Protect your safety and that of your community.
- Stay at home.
- Shoot only solos or with partners who live in your household.
- Do not leave your home to work.
- Do not have physical contact with someone who doesn’t live in your household.

I figure that porn is not even mostly about money or sex for a lot of these people, especially ones as disturbed, toxic and troll-like as these dudes. It’s more about a perpetual need to be watched and worshiped and a need to incite controversy and arguments. This pause is killing their egos more than their bank accounts.

Hopefully these 2 “performers” Mr. Thick & Mr. Miles will stay as good looking and as hard as they are RIGHT NOW. Cause they surely will not be able to make a living by using their pea sized brains in the future. I mean seriously. Two self absorbed egotistical MORONS.
Vince
I’m at a complete loss at how people are going to die because you can’t shoot your porn. What a drama queen.
Kangol2
They’re dying inside is what he means. Miles’ ego and rapacious desire for attention are withering like over-ripe fruit on the vine.
ShiningSex
were you not just being a bitch queen to someone else who is pretty much saying the same thing as you???? HELLO.
Trump is scum and is anyone that supports him. That’s all.

I am very lucky to be working full-time from home. I have not experienced fiscal panic during this pandemic, and I don’t like to imagine how it must feel to be the one sacrificing your livelihood while others are being taken care of.
I think it’s fantastic that all these people just want their independence back, but all of this posturing about shelter in place orders is useless.
You cannot negotiate with a virus. You cannot act like people will just control their hygiene and behavior around each other. It’s not enough to keep working with and around one another with masks and gloves. First, we witnessed mass viral spread during the “go about your day with extra hand washing,” phase of the American virus response. Second, we’ve only recently retooled manufacturing lines to produce ventilators and N95 masks. People are still largely relying on homemade masks without the N95 rating.
Even if we wanted to go about our business in PPE, we haven’t been able to produce nearly enough to protect everybody, which means we would see viral spread again. There is still viral spread in vulnerable communities because of the lack of affordable disposable PPE.
You can get mad at orgs and people, but you can’t negotiate with viruses.

If you want the world to know you’re a certified “Class A Moron”,
just admit you are Trump supporter.
innocentgay
Not necessarily; they could just be wicked right through to their rotted-out core.
t
Don’t you find it odd that the only people claiming that not being able to get things like a haircut, get their nails painted, get to make money off filming a new porno, etc., are all tRump supporters? They don’t give two shits about who they might be unintentionally infecting and their wants (not needs) are more important than someone else’s health. Typical tRump supporter. History will not look kindly on these people when this is over because honey I’m taking notes!
Vince
The common denominator that they all share is the total lack of empathy for others.
wiredpup
OMG what a drama queen.
alfred
He is a hard out trumpeter and a racist. He called himself straight for many years and made many homophobic remarks. Now he calls himself bi I think, but still thinly homophobic and disdainful of gay men.
drumstick
Sargeant Miles is hardly “gay”. But why are all the guys in porn such Trumpsters? Is it because selling your body for money is the ultimate expression of capitalism or is it because they are so vain and selfish. Republicans never really don’t care about what happens to anybody else until it happens to them…
Kangol2
Many are not Trumpsters. Some, like Sean Zevran, criticize the Tangerine Tyrant outright.
djmcgamester
Definitely an attention-seeking drama queen. Just like all the celebrities who are stuck in their million dollar mansions. What was it Cardi B said? She shouldn’t be eating cereal at home. She should be eating sushi in a restaurant.
My father is a huge Trump supporter. I’m not. He’s completely okay with gays, other races, other religions and so forth. He cares about things from the economic side. Sergeant may be a complete “jerk” but it has nothing to do with his politics. He’s just not a good person. People along the entire political spectrum are capable of being horrible human beings. We’d probably make more inroads by getting to know each other rather than shouting at one another from a distance. This goes for everyone.
DefiantOne
We don’t need to “make inroads” with bigots. They’re losing and headed for history’s dustbin. Sorry, you can’t be “completely okay with gays, others races” while voting to enable white supremacy, homophobia, and attacks on the rights, dignity, and humanity of gays and people of color. The “economic side” excuse won’t work. One, Trump’s economic policies are a disaster. Two, you cannot separate economic justice from civil rights.
The “I don’t dislike gays and people of color, but I’m going to vote for politicians who attack them because economics” is just another way to say “I’m selfish, too lazy to think critically, and don’t care how minorities are harmed as long as I can keep pretending Republicans are fiscally responsible and ignore how they crash the economy and run up record deficits every time they’re in power.”
People need to stop making excuses for their friends and relatives who pull this crap.
innocentgay
you might remind your father that ????? is the King of Bankruptcy, that he cannot even make a casino in Atlantic City turn a profit, and that every thing he has came from his racist-ass daddy. And that he would have more money if he had let his stolen inheritance ride the market while he sat around diddling himself.
djmcgamester
Clearly, DefiantOne, you live in my father’s head. Thanks for telling him what he thinks. Just one point to make: neither Obama nor Hillary were pro-same sex marriage until it became useful to be so. Bill Clinton? Ask LGBT military people who were incredibly thankful when DODT ended. There’s a history of Democrats not being on our side and Republicans being on our side. Nevertheless, shouting from across the aisle does nothing. Want to change things? Open up a dialogue.
Amalgamate
No offense, but you sound a fool. Obama supported gay marriage before he ran for president. He admitted he had to lie about not supporting it until the bigoted sheep caught up. Check out his record as a senator. Hillary as well- she had several gay couples stay at the WH with her. We forgive them for lying- it was for the greater good.
We will not reason with trumptards anymore. We will destroy them and render them impotent for the next 20 years. Now make way!!
bluewater103
You just can’t fix stupid. And in this case, totally ignorant. Anyone can see that Miles and Thick are doing this for publicity. Sad that we have to see two more ridiculous and publicity-seeking has-been’s taking up any space in the news.
davidkit
How sad that these guys base their self worth on making porn. They are dumber than a box of hair.
Vince
Yeah by all means let’s stereotype and generalized people. You’re no better than this guy.
ShiningSex
@Vince, sorry but most porn stars are morons. Truth told. I know several of them in TX and boy are they stupid.
People have the right to their opinion, so sit down.
Chrisk
Who’s to say that they do? Maybe it’s just a side hustle. Idiot.
Cam
Another Drama queen with baggage.
Girl, go sell your movies at the Republican National convention.
enlightenone
Lol! Ironically, they will make a killing!
toddlicious
Let’s let these two mentioned in this article stick to what they’re job is, screwing. They have no say in government public health. I saw dante thicke’s tweets earlier this week condemning the governor of California for not opening the state soon enough… I say he needs to get out there on those public beaches with all the other trump-covidiots and get this virus so he can learn his lesson.
Kangol2
If Sergeant Miles is that desperate for money, get an Only Fans or Just for Fans or My Fans or whatever, or even set up your own website, and perform for a reasonable but sustainable fee. If it it’s good, people will subscribe. If not, too bad. There probably are more than a handful of Trump-loving gays who want to see his basic @ss performing whatever sex acts are available while under social isolation orders, and if not, that’s on him. Just keep his racist, whiny, clearly dangerous @ss off the streets, since he seems not to understand the basics of how this terrible Covid-19 virus works.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Considering the largest consumers of porn are red States and during every major Reich wing convention hotels report consistently high consumption of on room porn, this noxious pernicious ignorant Dbag is crying over lost revenue…
Bellerophon69
Ain’t gonna watch any Porno this whiny Bitch makes!

It’s not surprising that he’s a proud supporter of Donald Trump because like Trump he’s an irrational asshole.

Drop the mike!

Who cares what this knuckle dragging POS thinks. He is a whore and a joke. This Marine Vet says him and President Bone Spurs are cowards and traitors. I hope he gets sick

I will Delete any & all of This Trumster F*cks Porn …. F*ck Sergeant Miles, F*ck Sergeant Miles, F*ck Sergeant Miles, F*ck Sergeant Miles, F*ck Sergeant Miles, F*ck Sergeant Miles , F*ck Sergeant Miles. Piece of S*it.
ShiningSex
First off, He’s a Trump supporter so there’s no reason to listen to stupid people like that. He’s a hypocrite. You support the orange maggot that wants your rights nonexistent and couldn’t care less if you were dead.
Also, if this is LITERALLY killing you then stop doing bareback scenes. DUH!
LOL
Queer53
Clearly these two Trump loving self-serving money whores followed his advice and are now suffering the side effects from injecting disinfectant. Boycott these guys and the studio that produces their gay porn. Any guy who chooses to do a scene with them are supporting and sleeping with the enemy. Their beliefs are worse than any virus. Be smarter than they are and stay safe, you’re worth it.
dannyboi2
Not interested, anyone that supports Trump is a Loser.
t
and they are self-loathing, self-centered miserable hypocrites that have to demean everyone else so that they can feel better about themselves. People like this are just all-around miserable f-ing people AKA republicans.
rocknstan
Trump and the terminal narcissists have flawed natures which cross party affiliations.
Today, anyone who is still in the porn business–profitably–is producing some Grade A stuff!
The other 99% are just stroking themselves.
Ahhh, playing safe in the Trump era …
batesmotel
Couldn’t wait to weave Trump’s name into a sentence again I see.
mwhill
I always liked Sergeant Miles but he is off my list for ever more!
yup5hioop
He’s worried cuz his performers can charge way more on onlyfans. I appreciate a good studio production compared to the often poorly made OF content often charging close to the same amounts per month. I think however I can deal with semi amateur content for another month.
RandomGuy
Someone should inform Miles and his fellow Trumpers in the porn industry that PrEP doesn’t protect you from the coronavirus but maybe it would be better if he found that out for himself.
batesmotel
Sorry this is all ruining your plans to have sex.
Man About Town
This misguided moron can’t even spell “their” correctly!
Woteva
I love me some porn – especially during these crazy times. There’s millions of hours of the stuff on the net to suit any taste, completely free of charge (if you know where to look and fortunately, I do) so if no-one shoots (pardon the pun) another scene for another twelve months or more this big ‘ol world will keep on turning…

RE: The Porn Industry
First, VD
Then, AIDS…
Eventually, SARS…
Now Covid-19…..
Anybody else see a pattern here?

Just you being a dipshit..
@dusyk
I’m devastated lol

Porn stars can collect unemployment since they’re independent contractors like Uber drivers. They’re eligible for the federal &600 per week funding under the CARES act.
seaguy
@djmcgamester like a majority of Americans their views evolved over time. So stop trying to make something out of nothing.

He would be hot if he had those tatts removed from his chest!
