In November 2012, Elexis Monroe was rushed to the hospital, suffering from severe infections in her face as a result of dental abscesses. Though an initial surgery initially prevented the infection from spreading, Monroe had to undergo additional surgeries.
[One should note here that dental issues like that don’t just happen overnight, she clearly neglected getting this fixed for whatever reason and wound up in this condition of her own doing.]
So Dan at Girlfriends Films decided to try to help her out. Each of the performers in Lesbian Sex: Volume 10 is donating half her earnings from the movie to help cover Monroe’s medical fees, an amount matched by Girlfriends Films. Additionally Girlfriend’s Films raised money for her medical expenses.
In total over $10,000.00 was raised by Girlfriends Films and presented to Elexis in December, when she needed it. There was never any deal to give proceeds of the movie to Elexis, the idea was that the movie would likely only break even if that. Now figure the movie hasn’t even been out for thirty days, so almost no money has even been made anyway, it typically takes 60 to 90 days before the receivables start coming in.
Out of the blue Elexis decides that Girlfriends Films should be sending her more money and starts a twitter rant that none of the proceeds from the movie were given to her.
First of all none of the proceeds were ever promised to her, Girlfriends Films set it up so that she would get the money in December, when she needed it, not in April or May when it would have come in. But most importantly Elexis got the money when she needed it, in December….over ten thousand dollars.
I am getting really tired of porn chicks feeling that when they spend their money on weed, Coach Purses, ex convict boyfriends (take your pick) instead of HEALTH INSURANCE that somehow obligates the industry to bail them out.
I had over a half million dollar surgery in 2007 and the industry didn’t raise a dime for me, I didn’t ask and didn’t want them to, I was my responsibility and mine was unforeseeable, hers was not. I maintain health insurance for myself but as you all know with a half million dollars in neurosurgery and rehab a lot of that came out of my pocket, insurance only pays 80%.
So stop being irresponsible and then declaring that someone who actually stepped up and helped you owes you more because you were irresponsible.

I agree with spending money on stupid shit and never thinking about tomorrow. But no health insurance policy covers dental and most dental policies truly suck.
