- [Announcer] Previously, on "X-Rated: NYC"...

- I'm gonna be showing a small collection,

so that I can celebrate my best friend, Andre,

who passed life, it's dedicated to him.

- We need to be just friends,

and that's the only way this is gonna work.

Angel Rivera is now replacing Dante

as our number four in season three of "X-Rated."

- Speaking of friends, I came back with a bad taste

in my mouth from last season, so I want to talk some shit.

Both Max and Boomer were running around,

talking their shit on me and Dante.

- So you're gonna go start shit.

I've worked out my issues with Max and Boomer,

so he's on his own with this one.

- Did you know that Angel back?

- Oh, I know.

- Not my circus, not my clowns.

- I'm not particularly excited

to see them both in the same...

(Patrick gasps)

You fucking pink menace. What the fuck, girl?

Gimme that shit. - [Patrick] I'm sorry.

- I know I need a new assistant, but I mean he's cheap.

- This looks like a photo shoot for a sexy retirement home.

- Stop, you don't need to start shit here. We're at work.

- I just feel like I'm owed an apology.

Like, come here for a second.

Don't you think I need an apology?

Come on Boomer, say it to the camera!

(dramatic music)

(upbeat music)

(dramatic music)

- I just feel like I'm owed an apology.

Like, come here for a second.

Don't you think I need an apology?

Come on, Boomer, say it to the camera.

- Just so you know, we're not supposed

to touch the camera people, I've asked.

- I told you. I will tell you in private. Stop yelling.

- What's the difference in saying, "I'm sorry,"

in front of a camera and off-camera.

- Angel has a very innocent face.

I've known him for a long time, not so innocent.

- I already said I'm not apologizing.

I got nothing to apologize for.

So you can save all of the drama,

and all of the dramatics, because I not apologizing.

- What's going on, man? What's going on here?

- Who the fuck is this tall mother fucker?

- A giant shows up.

Oh, it's just Max's boyfriend.

- The girls are fighting. - The puppy's barking.

- She's mad. - The puppy's barking?

- The bitch is barking, yeah.

- [Shy] You must be Angel, right?

- Yeah, nice to meet you.

- Cool, nice to meet you too. I'm Shy.

- Shy was coming to pick me up on this photo shoot

to go on the date, and he came just in the nick of time.

- You guys supposed to be doing a production set,

and you guys are like talking all this shit.

- I'm not the only one talking shit though.

It's like you and him.

- [Max] No, but you started this shit.

You and Joey are over there on the bench,

(people speaking indistinctly) talking shit.

- I wasn't saying shit.

I was telling him to shut his fucking mouth.

- You are saying shit. I heard you talking.

Your mouth was moving, and there were words coming out.

- Mic it the fuck up. Listen to the mic.

You know what, you can listen to the mic,

and I'll take your apology next season.

- I don't listen to the mic.

- Oh well, you'll fuckin' apologize next season.

I'll accept your apology next season, okay?

- (indistinct) Two children over there, talkin'.

- When I was telling him to shut the fuck up-

- You're the one the damn (indistinct).

- and that wasn't professional.

- You said stop. We stopped because-

- I stopped. - Stop, look, stop.

This is stupid. You guys are fighting on a fuckin' set.

- Damn, he's got you dick whipped, huh?

Is it a height thing? Does he run your world?

- Now you gotta come for me... - [Angel] No, no, Max.

(people speaking indistinctly) - [Max] Don't come at me.

- Hey, hey, hey it's not worth it.

- [Angel] Max just fell on his ass.

Well, that's what you get, bitch,

falling and you can't get up now.

- [Observer] Now he's trying to help.

- What, I was trying to help him up.

(people speaking indistinctly)

- [Joey] Like, why do we have to do it here?

- [Max] Fucking bitch.

- Because next time you think it's a height thing,

I'll tell you it's a height thing, okay?

- [Joey] You need to calm the fuck down.

- You need to listen to fucking Joey.

- [Shy] Let's go, let's go, man.

- [Max] Fuck man, nah.

- [Shy] Max. - No, no, no, I'm sorry.

I can't do this. - This is not acceptable.

It's not fuckin' professional. - Fuck you. Fuck Boomer.

- [Joey] Well, fuck you too. Congratulations.

- Fuck you, man, fuck you. Fuck me, right?

(Max speaking indistinctly) (Angel sighs)

- Angel has officially been in this group for one day

and look at what the fuck's happened.

(bright music)

- So how do we do this, girl?

How exactly... - I'll measure you.

- Vanniall's gonna be modeling in the fashion show,

and she's here to get a fitting.

Girl, I'm in my head. - What's up?

- That whole Angel coming at me sideways

and grabbing the camera, and he's like my little brother.

- Right. - Anyway.

- Jesus Christ, I didn't know Angel was

really gonna be like that.

- Um, I don't think he's like that, baby, that's the thing.

I think it's a fake, it's definitely a farce. That's 28.

- You think it's 'cause of Joey?

- Yeah, I don't know. Here, sit down for a little bit.

I think I bit off more than I can chew.

This fashion show, it's taking a toll.

This show is dedicated to my best friend who passed,

and I've been having a hard time.

Andre was my soulmate. (gentle music)

He was somebody that far beyond

any sort of sexual, traditional relationship.

He loved me unconditionally. He was loyal.

He believed in everything that I did.

You know, I've been sober for almost 19 years now,

and all I was able to do is be an example,

and I did the best that I could.

I just want to do good for the show.

I wanted to do good by Angel.

- I know the show is gonna be beautiful.

I know the show is gonna be something

that they would've wanted to see.

- I know he's always gonna be here encouraging me,

but it's not gonna be easy showing this

without him cheering me on in person.

- And I know you're gonna fuckin' rock it out

with your cock out. (Boomer laughing)

(bright music)

- Even though I've been an emotional wreck,

fashion show's coming, so I need to stay focused.

Oh, thank you for listening.

I know you just came for a fitting,

and you just automatically became a therapist. (laughing)

- I am totally fine with that.

This show's gonna be fucking awesome.

- Yes, I might even put Buster in it, who knows?

- Oh really?

- Let's make you a little shawl.

Let's make you a little something.

Runway debut? Runway debut?

Runway debut? Good boy.

(upbeat music)

- Oh, I still can't get over this office.

(playful music)

Well, I am here today to not really apologize,

'cause I don't have anything to apologize for,

but I wanted to clear it up.

After everything that happened at the photo shoot,

I'm just trying to make sure that Max doesn't think

that I was talking shit with Angel.

And I know you thought that I was also over there

talking with him when I was over there

telling him to shut the fuck up,

so I wanted to clear that up.

If you don't believe me, I mean you can just watch it on TV.

- I don't blame Joey for Angel acting like that.

I'm glad Joey finally got some sense and left the boy.

Yeah, Angel was completely outta line.

I mean, I still don't feel like I did anything wrong.

He was fucking around with Dante, period, that's it,

- Right? I don't know.

I'm just glad I'm fucking done with it for the moment.

I've got a new boy I'm talking to.

- Yes, okay. Tell me about this boy.

- Yes, it's true. I have been seeing somebody.

His name is Dijonay.

We met and things just kind of went from there.

We hit it off really well.

He's sexy. - Yeah.

- And even more than that, he's got great dick.

- He got that good, good dick.

- And he is very mature and handy,

which will definitely work out

with this new house I've got going on.

- Okay, so hear me out. Guess what?

- Girl, what you doing? Can't you see I'm talking.

- So, to make a long story short, I got a job offering.

I am gonna do porn and basically,

my porn name is gonna be Pink Lightning, and-

(Boomer laughing)

- That's not a good porn name.

Pink Lightning is an awful porn name.

It sounds like a reject gay superhero.

- Pink Lightning. (laughing)

- Who are you filming this with?

- Alistair- - No, no, no, no, no.

- Baby, no. (dramatic music)

- Alistair is the most horrible, toxic person

in this industry.

- Alistair, that's a name I haven't heard in a minute.

- House of Konnor, the good, and Alistair, the evil.

And how much is he paying you?

- $350. - You're letting this happen?

- I ain't got nothing to do with this.

This is my first time hearing about it.

- You fucking need to.

Did you hear what the man offered them?

Alistair has one of the worst reputations.

Everybody knows he's a piece of shit.

They know that he's a creep,

and they know that he takes advantage of people.

- This ain't got nothing to do with me.

He's my assistant. I don't manage him.

- [Patrick] What's the problem?

- There's a reason that he asked you,

because you've never worked in porn before,

so you don't know what you're supposed to make.

Anybody who knows me knows that this is something

that I'm very vocal about publicly.

Personally, I don't think anybody in the porn industry

should be getting paid less than $1,000.

You're selling your body. This is something that's forever.

It's gonna live on the internet forever.

You're sacrificing jobs, careers.

It's not something to be taken lightly.

- But he was really nice in the bar,

and we sat down, had a couple of drinks,

had a really deep conversation about the whole thing.

- He's gonna seem nice. That's how you draw people in.

Like, it's a very narcissistic thing.

You have to draw them in to get them trapped.

He's gonna underpay people.

He's gonna have extra long shoots. He does it on purpose.

He does it so he can take advantage of them.

When is your next meeting with this man?

- Next week.

- [Joey] Are you gonna go to this meeting with him?

- I am not. - You should.

- Why would I be going to the meeting?

Patrick is a grown man.

- Are you gonna let him get fucked over like that?

- I ain't got nothing to do with this.

You know, Alistair runs his own little competitive studio.

He's a competitor. I have nothing to do with it.

Patrick is my assistant. He's not my client.

So I don't agree with Patrick working for Alistair,

but he's a competitor, he's a business manager just like me

and I just don't want to get involved.

- You know all the shit that happened.

You know that I quit with five other fuckin' people

and all refuse to work with him anymore.

- I'm not arguing with you on that point.

I'm not saying that Alistair isn't a bad person.

We all know that, but I'm just saying

I'm not getting involved.

That has nothing to do with me.

- You're always looking for new clients.

- House of Konnor represents models of color.

That boy is not of color. (laughs)

I'm cool with giving Patrick advice,

but I'm not representing him.

It's just not the aesthetic of what we do.

- Just an FYI, I'm Puerto Rican, (Puerto Rican term).

- If you're not gonna do this,

I'm gonna go to that meeting with him,

then we'll sort it out.

- Oh, so you are a talent manager now?

- If that's what it fuckin' takes to make sure

that somebody's not gonna get fucked over, absolutely.

This is my career.

I started out young, and I went through some shit,

and I'm here to make sure that nobody else

has to go through that. - Okay, I support that.

You finally trying to get a job. (chuckles)

One of the things I love about Joey is that Joey

really is a pioneer in social justice just like me.

- All right, well you can expect me at that meeting, okay?

- No, but really, (exhales) Pink Lightning.

- I'm not gonna let anybody get taken advantage of

by Alistair, especially Patrick mother fucking Rosa

or Pink Lightning.

- Pink Lightning. - One-scene wonder.

(Max laughing)

Well, is what that will be, babe, like...

- Pink Lightning. (laughing)

(upbeat music)

- I'm excited to see a Broadway show.

I've never been before. - Oh yes, me too.

It's definitely a signature to New York.

Welcome, by the way. - Tonight, I'm on a date

with the guy I've been seeing for a while, Dijonay.

And we're out, we're having some drinks.

We're gonna go see a Broadway show after.

It's very New York.

- How was your flight? - It was all right.

It's, I mean, back and forth between St. Louis is a lot,

but it's a short flight, so it's not too bad.

It was a goal of mine to have a house and renovate it,

but it's way too big for what I needed.

The house in St. Louis is huge.

It's way bigger than I expected,

and it gets a little lonely.

So I think that's why I've been splitting

a lot of time between St. Louis and New York.

- Maybe you should actually meet someone

to share that big old house with,

so you're not by yourself all the time,

someone you could travel with, you know?

- I might be able to make that happen.

You know, I don't know how I feel about marriage,

but I definitely wanna settle down someday.

It would be nice to have somebody

to share life experiences with, travel,

and build a few more houses.

All right, so let me ask you a question.

- Sure. - How do you feel

about being friends with exes?

(Dijonay sighs)

- It could be a slippery slope.

When you break up with someone, you know,

you have to sever both a relationship and a friendship,

and sometimes when you're around that person,

them feelings just come out, unresolved shit.

- Yeah, true, that's very true.

- Yeah, so for me it's a big fuck no

being friends with your exes.

Are you friends with any of your exes?

- No. (playful music)

Maybe I'll wait a bit to tell 'em about Angel.

Cheers to new beginnings

and good dates. - And good dates.

(bright music)

- It's special. You feel a lot of sparks.

I don't know how to describe it,

butterflies in the stomach, I don't know.

(upbeat music)

- [Boomer] I am glad you're here.

- I'm happy to be here.

- I'm meeting up with Angel

'cause I hate the way things were left at the photo shoot.

We need to talk.

- Thank you for having me and inviting me again

(Boomer laughs)

to talk about my drama and my issues.

- Stop doing that. - [Angel] Why are we...

Okay, why are we here?

- Joey has rubbed off on you in that way.

I'm not attacking you, and you know that.

We've been friends for a very long time now.

- True, yeah.

I really do hate how things ended with Boomer and I.

He is my brother, so I agreed to meet him here

and hear him out, see what he is got to say.

- I was not talking about it, I didn't want to talk.

I wanted to directly talk to you about the situation,

and it's on camera.

The reality is I would rather talk to Angel about it,

because what does Joey have to do with this?

I would like to talk to Angel and iron it all out.

- I mean, we used to be brothers,

so I feel some type of way.

When I met Boomer, Joey, my ex, kicked me outta St. Louis,

so I just went to the next big city, New York,

and he showed me the ropes, really showed me his friends.

And I think I even met Andre, who passed away,

so Boomer has really made me feel a part of family.

- I'm very hurt that after the pandemic,

'cause we got really close, you just left.

(gentle music)

- [Producer] Did you ghost Boomer

at one point in your friendship?

- You just left. - What do you mean left?

- You left. - I left New York. I moved.

- (stammering) I know,

but I didn't even know where you ended up going.

- Miami. (laughs)

So Boomer and I would often hang out.

We were really seeing each other daily.

I'd go from fuckin' Harlem to Hell's Kitchen frequently.

And I just kind of got caught up

on partying a little bit and drugs,

and I just don't want to be an influence to my friends.

I mean, yes, we were brothers, but you're also sober,

and I was going through a moment of using,

and I didn't want to- - Let me stop you right there.

That narrative is a hard no. I work in nightlife.

I work around a lot of people that use,

and I've made that very clear to you on so many occasions.

I want you to be able to come to me even if you are high.

- I just didn't want to be that influence

to somebody who's cleaning up their act.

What he took is me closing him out and ghosting him.

I really just like to do my shit in my dark rooms

and not influence anybody.

- We're two brown boys. We need-

- To stick together. - [Boomer] To stick together.

- Yeah. - Let's do this together.

We've been doing this a lot longer than the show.

- You're right. You're absolutely right, Boomer.

Can I get a hug? I'm sorry.

- I recently just lost my best friend.

My friendships mean so much to me right now.

I'm glad that I have Angel.

Okay, that's enough. Let's go. (laughing)

(upbeat music)

- [Patrick] Thank you for being here, seriously.

- Well, don't thank me yet.

I don't have very high expectations for this meeting,

because if we ask for what you deserve,

you're probably not gonna get it,

'cause Alistair's a piece of shit.

I'm gonna have this meeting with Alistair

to make sure that he's not gonna fuck Patrick over

and give him a bad deal.

- Well, money always comes first, right?

- I hope so.

Unfortunately, Alistair is a very powerful man

in the porn industry, but I'm not afraid, I'm a manager now.

(dramatic music)

- Joey. - [Joey] How are you?

- Where have you been?

Everyone told me you fell off the face of the earth.

- [Joey] I've just been living.

- [Alistair] Can I sit? - [Joey] Yeah.

- Alistair and I haven't seen each other in years,

and it didn't end well.

I'm starting to manage some people.

- Really? - Patrick being one of them.

We probably have a few questions

about this deal that you've offered.

- You do? - [Joey] Yeah.

- Like what? - A lot of questions.

Number one, we need guarantees

that you do know I wasn't provided.

- I pay the standard that everyone pays.

What are you talking about?

- The standard that everybody pays?

- [Alistair] Yes. - You offered him

three-hundred and 50 fucking dollars, Alistair!

- Uh, that's the standard, dude.

- That is not the fucking standard.

- Yes, it is. - In Europe, fucking maybe.

That's not the standard here in fucking America.

- Oh, you know about Europe? (laughing)

- Yes. - Oh my God, that's so funny.

Look, Patrick is new. He's never done anything.

This is where the start happens.

I have launched so many people.

- Listen, we all know-

- I could do so much for you. This one's gonna be a problem.

- The reason a he likes new talent

is because he can exploit new talent,

because they don't know what they deserve.

That's why you hire people

who have never worked in porn before.

- You've produced how many movies?

- That's why you tell people that people maxed out.

- How many have you produced?

- I've made plenty of movies.

I have my own fuckin' OnlyFans

that's ran just like a studio. - OnlyFans, yeah, OnlyFans.

That's putting a camera in the corner of a hotel room.

- Was I not a fuckin' production assistant for your company?

Do you think I don't know how this fucking works?

- Are you high right now?

- Am I fuckin' high right now, really?

- Well, you seem to be. - Really?

You know what, Patrick, whatever he's fuckin' paying you,

I'm gonna pay you. - Okay?

- Okay, and you're just not gonna do this-

- [Alistair] Listen, you're gonna throw away-

- 'Cause this outta fuckin' line.

this opportunity, I invented this dude.

I came up with the name Joey Mills.

I got it from one of those old James Dean characters.

- The name Joey Mills came from me walking down the street

one day and somebody said I looked like a Joey.

Alistair didn't give me that name.

- [Producer] And what about Mills?

- I don't know where the fuck Mills came from.

- You're gonna throw away this opportunity,

and you know what, you're lucky I'm even considering you,

because I usually hire hot guys.

- What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

- [Alistair] I'm sorry. - See what I mean?

- [Alistair] You know what?

- Nobody's gonna call Patrick mother fuckin' Rosa ugly

unless it's me.

- Look, you've got some advantages.

You're a twink. You're young, you're skinny.

The face, I don't know what we're gonna do with that,

but we can maybe work with it.

- (scoffs) What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

- It means exactly what I said. Start being realistic, dude.

- [Patrick] No, go fuck yourself.

- (chuckling) You got a loser on your hands.

- This guy is a fucking asshole.

You realize this is why you don't retain models.

- Listen Joey, you were cute at one time.

I don't know what you are actually now,

because you are somewhere between a twink and I don't know.

- All right, now I'm fucking pissed.

- You crawled to me- - [Joey] Grow the fuck up

and learn to run a fucking business-

- with that thing, that little thing

that you scraped off a rug-

- You asked him to be a fuckin' model for you at a bar,

and I had to come in here and get him the fuck out of it,

because you're sitting here trying to fuckin' take advantage

of somebody who doesn't know any better.

- Just because you aged out of my studio-

- I aged out, I didn't walk the fuck out on your studio?

- It's such a typical thing with you guys.

All of a sudden, you think I'm a manager.

- I'm so fucking sick of you.

You know what I'm aging out of?

I'm aging outta this conversation, okay?

- You're aging out of everything.

- [Joey] Go fuck yourself.

- [Alistair] I have one word for you, by the way-

- [Joey] I'll see you in the fucking nursing home.

- One word, Botox.

(upbeat music)

- [Announcer] Next time on "X-Rated NYC"...

- Angel, no! - Sorry, sorry.

- Come on, bro. - Sorry.

- Good evening.

- Why is he here? - Why are you?

- It may have been a bad idea.

- Your job is gossip.

- You get some hot tea, gossip.

- [Patrick] Sip it. - All right.

- If you wanna send a package, you go to the post office.

If you want to send gossip, you go to Strawberry Fields.

(Strawberry chuckling)

(upbeat rock music)

(upbeat rock music continues)

(whooshing)

- [Announcer] Oh, Daddy.
