Lucas Calls Quest Allegations 'Mental' and 'Cheesy'

IN-LucasQuestEmailTH.jpgWhen we started asking stars about safer sex practices on set, we didn't realize how much animosity was lurking below the surface. Spencer Quest, in particular, used it as a launching pad to discuss his experiences in the industry, as well as his crystal meth addiction, his off-set gang-bangs and his subsequent sero-conversion. While he acknowledges that he didn't contract HIV on set, and that the industry didn't get him addicted to meth, he claims they weren't exactly helpful. Now, Michael Lucas is fighting back.
In an email to the Sword, Lucas said Quest's claims "are blown out of his ass, totally tasteless and cheesy" and that Quest is "mentally ill, on drugs or both." This afternoon, he forwarded us an email to Quest. Let the flames begin!

In a post two weeks ago on SpencerQuest.com, Quest, who had recently discovered he had HIV, recounts asking Michael to disclose his status to his scene partner:

While I insisted Titan inform my potential scene partner (which to their credit they did), Lucas told me he wouldn’t do the same. But I could. And I didn’t. The only person who knew of my HIV status while filming for Lucas was Michael himself.

To which Michael responds:

Spencer,

I stumbled upon your blog and I am quite shocked to read your ramblings. What exactly are you blaming me for? My policy was always known to everybody: I do not disclose my actor's HIV status, as I believe that this is a very personal issue. You knew my position on that, as I have told you about it as well as discussed it on my blogs, public ads, and interviews. And, we all know how this virus can be transmitted, which is only by not using a condom, (and usually with the help of drugs). I, personally, had sex with you in a film, at least twice, knowing that you are HIV positive. Did I ever discriminate against you for that? And, you know that I am HIV negative. (And don't get me wrong, I do not thing that I am corageous for having sex with HIV positive people. I think that it's a normal human behavior). If you believe that you need to announce your status to your sex partners, then you should just do so; but, do not blame me or anyone else for your own actions. It also seems to me that you are accusing me of your drug problem, because, apparently you were not into the model and you're saying here that the director of the scene was telling you to bring the energy level up. Are you implying that you were encouraged by us to do drugs? I mean how dare you accuse us of any wrong-doing? My company and I, personally, were extremely fair to you. You were the only model who received royalties for the film. My movie brought you the awards, etc. I think that this is incredibly low of you to publically blame me for your own irresponsibility in your your private life. I am incredibly disappointed. And, I would love to blame drugs on these insane blog postings of yours, since it sounds like you are still on them. And I hope that the real you will never stoop so low.


P.S. If I ever did break my own policy, it was the case when I did not test you on drugs, as I usually do with anyone who I suspect is high. Would I know you were using drugs anywhere around the shooting days, I would fire you on the spot.

I wish you all the best.

Michael Lucas

Actually Michael HIV can be passed through cum in the mouth as well, yes it's less risk but it is knowing to have happened....did you miss that? You are giving a little false information and maybe should do a little research!

This practice is getting more and more popular it seems in movies, your own included!
