A black adult film star is suing his director after he says he was tricked into being called a racial slur on film.
According to the New York Daily News, Bronx Native, Maurice McKnight aka Moe the Monster, says he was tricked into doing a hardcore-racist adult film after he clearly expressed he did not consent to that type of language being used.
McKnight says director James Joseph Camp tried — and failed — on two separate occasions during the production to get his pre-approval for use of the despicable dialogue.
He claims Camp first approached him before filming began and said the female lead, identified as Deborah Hinkle, had agreed to use the ugly slur on camera.
McKnight says he “made it very clear that he would not allow this racial slur to be used,” the 9-page complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court and obtained by the Daily News states.
McKnight says Camp approached him a second time during a filming break to again press for permission.
“For a second time, McKnight informed Camp that he did not consent to the use of the racial slur,” the lawsuit states“Camp and DFI defrauded McKnight for the purpose of creating and selling racist content to its racist customers,” the lawsuit states.
Despite McKnight’s explicit refusal to give the green light, Hinkle addressed him with the racist slur twice during the film’s so-called “money shot,” according to the complaint.
He says Camp and the production company’s owner, identified as Cable Christopher Rosenberg, initially promised to “edit out” the racial slurs but never did. The defendants published and began selling the film in December, according to the court filing.
The lawsuit claims that the incident occurred at a shoot in Tarzana, CA, last July. McKnight is now suing for fraud, negligence, and failure to prevent racial harassment and seeking restitution for lost wages, emotional distress, and embarrassment.
