Black porn star sues director for making white co-star call him N-word during racist sex shoot
New York Daily News ^ | May 17, 2018 | By NANCY DILLON and TERENCE CULLEN

A black porn star from the Bronx says he was duped into performing in a hardcore-racist adult film that depicts his white co-star calling him the N-word without his consent.

Maurice McKnight, who goes by the stage name Moe the Monster, claims in a new lawsuit the hate speech was spewed during a shocking shoot in Tarzana, Calif., last July.

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.

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.

Speaking to the News, McKnight compared the verbal assault to an ambush. "I just felt violated and betrayed," the 36-year-old Bronx resident said Wednesday night.

McKnight is seeking damages for lost wages, emotional distress and embarrassment. He says the defendants knowingly created a "work environment" that was "hostile and racially abusive."

"The use of the N-word in the workplace is extraordinarily harmful to African American workers. It's a violent, abusive word that embodies the pure evil of racism. It has no place in our society," McKnight's lawyer Dan Gilleon told The News. "Moe is going high by filing a lawsuit instead of acting in kind to this egregious act of racism."

Does he think Sidney Poitier complained when filming ‘In The Heat of the Night’ with Rod Steiger? That racial slurring was a necessary part of the story.
Of course, this fellow probably never heard of the 1960’s actor Sidney Poitier.

“...”I just felt violated and betrayed,” ...”

He’s making a porn flick, but he felt “violated” by a word...

Sigh... yeah... ya can’t make this crap up.

He’s more of a p*ssy than the one he was doing.

It’s a f*cking movie! It’s not reality! If this were reality, then anything that is depicted in a movie would generate lawsuits.

It’s a f*cking movie!

I would like to point out that if anyone was going to sue, it should be over the WAGE GAP in porn films.

Future historians, assuming there are any, will refer to these times as “The Crazy Years”.

This sounds silly, but could be precedent setting. At this point it is, while considered generally inappropriate, not illegal to use that or any other word, nor does it require ‘permission’. This is an affront to free speech. Hopefully a judge will throw this out.
