Adult film producer and porn star Michael Lucas is facing criticism from within the adult entertainment industry for inscribing his name on a missile intended for Hamas.
Earlier this month, Lucas posted, “Hahaha I actually asked to write my name,” along with a picture of his signature on the rocket.
Several adult performers have expressed their refusal to continue working for Lucas’s studio. Shahrokh Mosavinejad responded, “Anyone who thinks inscribing messages on missiles is a display of power is complicit in the killing and genocide of innocent #Palestinian civilians.”
Porn actor Sean Xavier stated, “I don’t wish to draw more attention to the post; I find it both disheartening and deplorable. For those inquiring, I will no longer be endorsing my work with that studio or accepting future offers to work with them.”
Lucas has been a steadfast advocate for Israel over the years. One of his films, “Men of Israel,” featured an all-Jewish cast, marking a first in the industry.
In response to the backlash, Lucas told the NY Post, “The people attempting to boycott me are nothing but hateful antisemites. There is no other rationale for such animosity toward Israelis and such endorsement of individuals who would brutally murder Jews and gays. I am undeterred by this and I won’t delete the tweet regardless of the threats I continue to receive.”
