(Web Desk) - After Michael Lucas posted a photo of his autograph on an Israel Defense Forces rocket intended for Gaza, several fellow gay porn stars have spoken out against him.
Heated discourse around the Israel-Hamas conflict has reached the LGBTQ adult entertainment industry in a very public way.
After producer and performer Michael Lucas posted a photo of his autograph on an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) rockets intended for Gaza, several fellow porn stars have spoken out against him, announcing that they will no longer work with him or his studio Lucas Entertainment.
"I am against all forms of violence and I will not give my support to someone who incites violence.
I worked in last production for Lucas ent but I completely dissociate myself from this behavior," wrote one performer named Giuspel on X (formerly Twitter).
Andrea Novak wrote in Spanish: "I regret having worked for you and your [poop emoji] production company where you mistreat and take advantage of the models. So much plastic on your face went to your genocidal brain."
A couple known as the Heights Hounds announced they've "taken down the content we created" with Lucas, adding: "Pay attention when people show you who they are."
Other performers like Sean Xavier have also distanced themselves from Lucas, and Shahrokh Mosavinejad pointed out the callousness of the photo, noting the more than 20,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza bombings since Hamas attacked Israel in October.
After writing "From Michael Lucas, to Gaza" on an IDF rocket and sharing the photo to Twitter, Lucas told the New York Post he has no intention of taking down the post, chalking up the response to antisemitism.
"The people trying to cancel me are nothing but vile antisemites," said Lucas. "There is no other explanation for such hate for Israelis and such support for people who would murder Jews and gays in the most barbaric ways.
I am not intimidated by this and I won't delete the tweet no matter how many threats I continue to receive."
I am against all forms of violence and I will not give my support to someone who incites violence. I worked in last production for Lucas ent but I completely dissociate myself from this behavior.
