Re: Erica Campbell / Erica Rose Campbell

Wow. Looks like I missed a lot.

I really hope Erica has all the happiness and the most wonderful life possible in her retirement. She deserves nothing less, no matter how she chooses to live it.

I have to admit I'm sincerely disappointed that she has chosen to retire; not necessarily because there won't be any more lovely images of her, but more because she left before we all had a chance to say "thank you."
 
Re: Erica Campbell / Erica Rose Campbell

While I'm not trying to psychoanalyze the situation, I think it is entirely possible that with the end of her last relationship (check her recent posts) she realized that perhaps she wanted a certain type of man...and she decided that she wanted to become the woman (in her mind) that the man she wanted to be with would want to be with. It is entirely reasonable...many men like to look at adult stars, but how many men REALLY would want to date one? It would be hard for me, because I value monogamy and the idea would stretch the boundaries of that. (hence her comment on her future husband being the only one seeing her). If her goal is to eventually have a down to earth relationship full of values and respect, I honestly think she made the right decision...and it isn't about "quitting for a guy". Don't get me wrong, I will miss her presence on the net, but I can see where she is coming from.
 
Re: Erica Campbell / Erica Rose Campbell

When did this thread become a church sermon?

Her motives are her own and whether or not they are honest is really no concern of any one here. Just because she posted a few times on this board, again whether it be her or not Id also question, does not give anyone here lease to say they knew her personally or have any inkling to what went on beneaththe shiny surface of a models lifestyle.

I knew her personally. I don't have to make the claim. I worked with her. I have my opinion and it's not based on her interaction with me as a fan, because I am not, and I am not a target of her PR directive.

Frankly, I'm not shocked at all and I could almost guarantee her motive for leaving...but I digress: It ultimately doesn't matter.

Oh I dont intend any flak targeted at you. In fact when you said she was a bore and insufferable, I found it refreshing to see someone not pandering to her ego and frankly stating the truth which for once, wasnt sugar coated.

If you claim to be an insider you should properly identify yourself, who you work and have worked for, and in this instance the capacity and amount you worked with her unless your identity makes that obvious. In messageboard etiquette, because of conflicts of interest among other stuff, when the board deals with a specific industry it's considered unethical to either pretend to be an regular poster or claim things you have done or known from insider knowledge without doing so, especially if you hold a position of any importance at all in that industry. Otherwise your "insider knowledge" doesn't amount to much. If you were unwilling to do that then you shouldn't have said anything.

Furthermore you don't really specify what "boring" or "insufferable" means. Even if we were to believe you, and hypothetically for the sake of argument, lets say we do believe you and you have in fact worked with her, those words can be made to mean just about anything. We have no context to even put them in because we have no idea who you are how much you worked with her, or what your definition of that is. For all we know you shot with her once while she was having a bad day, or your definition of boring is skewed and you think anybody that isn't hopping up and down, bubbly, and doing cartwheels between shoots is boring. Not to mention some of the most respected people I know could be classified as boring by people. It doesn't mean too much.

Furthermore since we don't know who you are we have no idea if what you say is objective. You could be somebody that doesn't like her or were part of a group that had some bad business dealings with her. Not only might you not be objective, you could very well have personal incentive to say that. This is all assuming that you did indeed work with her in the first place.

Now I'm not saying you're lying. I'm also definitely not saying she was perfect or anything because nobody is. I also don't know her true feeling of why she did what she did. You could very well be telling the truth, or at least what you think is the truth, but as far as us believing it I hope you don't mind if we take it with a huge grain of salt. I could also point out that in this industry anybody that has lasted for any length of time usually has the negative things about them at least become leaked and talked about somewhat over time. Erica has lasted years and years, a lot more than most, and has been one of the most popular adult models maybe ever. Yet unlike a lot of other people I don't ever recalling hearing many negative things about her, which would be unusual if true. That would mean either she was what most fans thought of her, got very lucky, or had some way of having a tremendous amount of people that were willing to lie and cover for her even though semi-open gossip and rumor channels. The latter two seem to be the least likely.
 
Re: Erica Campbell / Erica Rose Campbell

Ok now I'm not one to just go off and off about something half cocked. But to be honest who really gives a shit if she has retired or not. We have all seen our share of adult stars come and go. For so many reasons from board, wanting more to trying a new career. Hell she's been it all cyber girl of the week, month, potm, penthouse pet. There isn't a one of you out there that loves doing the samething over and over again. So let's just wish her the best and enjoy what she has given us. And if she does come back good for her if that's what she wants cause there's no amount of bitching and crying any of you can do to change her mind. So let's just move on to the next hottie and let this thread go back to posting updates for other fans. And leave the surmens of why she did what she did to another blog. That's just my two cents.
 
Re: Erica Campbell / Erica Rose Campbell

D-rock I am not an insider. I do not work in "the industry" or in any similar field anymore. I am not going to identify myself because it doesn't change anything. I'm not here to sway anyone's opinion one way or the other...I just took the opportunity to share mine. Is my opinion of her less valid than someone who admires her for simply being attractive in his or her eyes? I think not.

You can question the legitimacy of my statements until you are blue in the face, but that doesn't change that my opinion of her is that she is boring (defined as such due to her nearly identical photoshoots) and insufferable (as demonstrated to me by rude behavior and a constant need for approval and reassurance).

Finally, as I said, come to your own conclusion. It ultimately doesn't matter.

Yeah, but what D-Rock was talking about was that you posted that you know her. How are we to know that? You Might have guessed that people come here all the time claiming to be friends with models/stars, or that they ARE these models and stars. You don't have to offer proof, but then we don't have to take your word that you know her, or anything else.

I would agree about the nearly identical photo shoots, but then, that's nearly every porn star and nude model out there. It wasn't something just found in Erica's shoots, nor is it shocking or surprising that a nude model or porn star constantly needs reassurance and/or approval. I know lots of women who are NOT in this biz who need that.

If you do know her, and she was rude to you, then that would certainly be a reason not to like her. But then, why was she rude? What's the whole story behind it? We don't know- we mostly see pictures and videos of her naked, and don't care to or want to see or know much else.

I think my problem with this whole situation with her is that just days before, she was posting that she was to have her new site filling with content, and that she was going to post some here. Hugs! Kisses! Well wishes for all her pals at Freeones, and then... A 180 degree turn that was so sudden, and SO powerful that her fans and the many who lust after her were left a little like this- :eek:

And the message was/is a bit pushy as well. It wasn't "I've found god, and I'm so happy" like Crissy Moran's was. It was more like "This business is EEEVILLL, and I've found Jesus, and I'm happy, and you should find Jesus too, so you can be happy." Erica, I wish you all the happiness in the world, however you find it, but leave me out of your religion. I just don't care to partake, thanks.

Re: Erica Campbell / Erica Rose Campbell

I was never a huge fan of Erica. She is very attractive, and I loved and respected what she did for animals, but I don't consider myself a fan or what some of you call an "obsessed fan". It's no big deal to me that she has retired, as there are tons of gorgeous girls out there. That being said, I just wanted to point out, that in the end, Erica, as well as every other model/pornstar on here is only human. I think many of us forget this fact. The fact that some of you think of her as being insufferable, or an ego maniac, so be it. Don't we all come across people like this? Aren't we all in some way insufferable and selfish/ego maniacs? If any of you deny this, then you are either idiots, or saints. The fact is, not many of us will support a cause, as she did. Who here donates money on a regular basis to charities? Who here will take the time to adopt and rehabilitate animals? I'd vouch that not many of us do. It's easy to complain and insult people online...i don't think I've read one positive comment by alchay on any model on freeones.

I digress, my point is, all these girls are human, and will make mistakes, blunders, will be bitches at times, etc. This makes them no less human. They get insulted, hurt by people, and will, like most women look to men for encouragment and compliments. They don't even have to be models or pornstars to be like this. I'm a girl, and I have to admit, that a lot of girls are like this.

I could not have said it better myself. I whole heartedly agree with you, we are all only human, and so is Erica.
 
Re: Erica Campbell / Erica Rose Campbell

Seems to be nothing about this at ericacampbell.com.... in fact, there have been two new photo sets and a movie added since this so called announcement.
I will be watching with interest.

Oh, not the "ericacampbell.com" thing again...
Rather than have to type out a full response, I'll just do a quote from when I addressed this in another thread:

According to registries, the "clubericacampbell" site was only established in the last 2 months. It is very new, and assuming Erica has no plans to use it herself from now on, she could consider selling it for a nice profit, given that her name is in it.

As for the original site (ericacampbell.com), Erica does not own it and never has. It is owned & operated by the "Danni.com" offices. As for its content (her galleries & videos),I don't know what, if any claim Erica has to any of it. It could be that they own all of that as well. Depends on what legal arrangements she's made over the years. If she owns none of it, then no matter what she does-- become a nun, a brain surgeon, President of the United States, it would still be on the Net for all to see. Hopefully, she didn't sign away complete control of her work to others, but who knows?

So once again, the so-called "official" site being still up and running is completely meaningless. You don't seriously expect the Danni.com people to shut down a money-maker like that just because Erica's retired, do you?
Especially if there's nothing she can legally do to stop them.
 
Re: Erica Campbell / Erica Rose Campbell

I am going to guess that there are tons of people who claim to be christian... go to church... live life day by day trying to improve on basic aspects of living using the principles found in the bible.

Yet, many of these people(me included) surf the web for porn and probably read the words I type here. I have been one of these people. Hypocritical... sure... you bet... that is my sin... what is yours?

Jesus once said, "Why do you call me Lord, and NOT do the things that I say?" He said it about the future.

For those of us who have knowledge of the Word of God and have found ourselves addicted to porn and the like... I implore you to repent with me now before it is too late. I have tossed off to Erica before... geeze... who here hasn't?

However, I am now convicted of this... when I die and stand before Christ at judgement... she may be entering the kingdom of heaven and I will be left trying to tell Christ why I would not repent.

I am done with porn now too.
