Ryan Raz likes getting fucked up the ass, not fucked out of $1800.
Did the amateur gay porn membership site Suite 703 book performer Ryan Raz for a weekend of shoots last July and fail to pay him? According to new allegations from Raz, yes.
Ryan Raz To Suite 703: Pay UpWritten by Zach
"Suite 703 hired me for two shoots during San Diego Pride," Raz tells The Sword. "It was the weekend of July 16-18th, and I was booked for a solo and a duo scene. But by the time I flew out there, the scenes had been canceled. Still, I was promised by (Suite 703 parent company) Naughty America that I'd be paid a kill fee, which is the standard thing to do."
Raz says the kill fee (50% of his total booking) was $1300. That, coupled with the $500 in expenses he incurred while visiting San Diego (expenses he says he was told he'd be reimbursed for) added up to $1800, which he's been waiting for since July.
"I have nothing against Suite 703, but this has caused me a lot of difficulties. Honestly, I don't think the problem is with Suite 703 though. It's the straight side of the company, Naughty America; they're having financial difficulties," Raz theorizes.
The Sword asked Raz if he had received anything in writing promising a kill fee or expense reimbursement, which he did not. "There was nothing officially in writing, but that doesn't matter. I've been told over and over again that 'the check's in the mail,' and a producer with Suite 703 has said that he's trying to take care of it."
Text messages obtained by The Sword from a Suite 703 producer to Raz seem to confirm Raz's story, with one reading, "I'm told your check went out."
Suite 703 has not responded to multiple requests for comment on this story."
The rest of this blog update are my thoughts and is not part of the article the TheSword.com posted.
I would first like to say that I really don't have any problem with Suite 703. Even though they have owed me $1800 for two months now I still feel that they have the best current web based porn site out there. The models that they used are always above par and withSuite 703 updating as often as they do I NEVER get tired of it. That says a lot considering how many web based companies there are.
Durring San Diego pride there were many people and models that can attest to my side of the story. Numerous texts, email and phone calls have told me that the money is on the way. What set me off one day and then alerted The Sword that there was something stray was a twitter that I did a few days ago and then the retweet from the producer of 703.
This is a Screen Shot of the responding Retweet.
It may not seem like it, but I have been trying to take a step back from filming while I take some time to gather things together and begin to move on from my porn career. my filming with Suite 703 was going to remain something quiet and I really had no intentions of it becoming this well known.
On top of all this Suite 703 was supposed to being me to San Fran this weekend to work for them at Folsom Street Fair. This was to include flight, hotel and money for working the event. I was never directly told by Suite 703 that this was canceled but with the event 10 days away the other model and I that were to be booked have not received any plane tickets, no hotel confirmation or any confirmation of this booking. It's kinda shitty when you don't get a response from the Studio for almost three weeks and have to figure things out for your own.
I am not sure what is going on with Suite 703, and in all reality I don't care. What I do want is to simply be told the truth. If there is a check being mailed or deposited then tell me, if not at least tell me so. If you are going to piss on me don't tell me it's raining, at least tell me it's piss and let me enjoy it!!!!
