There has been a lot of talk lately about the #MeToo movement and xxx star PR, which is an international call to action against sexual harassment and assault.
More than a few people in the porn industry have been outed, but still, performers in the adult industry have been leery of coming forward fully with their own stories for two reasons – first there are those who have come forward and been busted in a lie. Those who lie about any abuses they’ve received hurts those who are the true victims. The other reason some don’t come forward is fear. Fear of being blacklisted and even worse, fear of being physically assaulted. Read more about fake PR.
There are some performers who are controlled by certain men in the industry and have been threatened or coerced to “get in line” or to keep their mouth shut — OR ELSE.
When I first heard about Bosco for XXX Star PR and his suitcase pimp like ways, I laughed. I figured a low life creep like him would be run out of the business soon enough. But here we are a few years later and this guy shows no sign of going anywhere anytime soon.
He’s now not only gotten himself hooked up with Kendra Lust and her agency, Society 15, but he’s using that relationship to coerce performers in the industry to do his bidding.
Sometimes he’ll offer you 3 months of free PR and when the 3 months is over, if you don’t do something he wants, he’ll send you an invoice for those 3 months of PR he gave you.
When girls complain that he didn’t actually do anything for them, other than tweet or retweet something on a twitter account with a bunch of fake followers, he gets aggressive with them and more than a few girls have expressed fear he’ll get physically violent with them.
While you are working with him, he’ll also demand access to a performers twitter account, where he uses direct messages sent to the girl to harvest contact from fans to arrange “private meetings”.
Talent agents should also be aware that if any of your girls are using his services, he will meddle in your business and try and get them away from you to push them into a deal with another agent that he works with.
Things have gotten so bad with this “Bosco” that AVN had to actually issue a warning that if they get so much as one complaint about his inappropriate behavior they will throw him out of the show.
What kind of publicist actually has to get a warning from AVN about their behavior?
He’s also been known to reach out to producers that he offers free PR services for in exchange for blackmail to people he doesn’t like or at the very least the threat of it. He told one girl recently that if she didn’t pay him some money he claims she owed him, he would get her blacklisted from ever working again with Elegant Angel.
I don’t know if Bosco really has the power to get a performer blacklisted from working with Elegant Angel but I do know he’s doing some press releases for them for free. Surely he’s getting something in exchange for his time. Is it the power to hold over people’s head?
Consider these things the next time you consider having anything to do with Bosco or xxx star pr.
You don’t want to associate yourself with someone shady like that because they’ll end up only making you look bad and hurting your reputation in the industry. People who are trash hang out and associate with trash.
Is that really how you want to be known in the industry?

I would think by now most peeps in porn already know about this dick. I heard of his antics a few years ago at exotica. total dick man total dick
Mike this article does not even touch the tip of the iceberg of this diabolical shit head. Dope dealing, gas lighting , manipulative scoundrel Howard aka Bosco. He sports all the traits of a child molester. Ask the girl he gave so much drugs to that she tried to jump off a building in Vegas after he provided her drugs, alcohol and more drugs. He then claims he saved her life. Bosco knew her before she was 18 yrs old.
You can find this hog roaming about looking for easy pry at exxxotica shows and AVN trolling and stalking young girls and other PR agents who gets in his way.
His Name is Howard Cohen . If other blog’s can post a pic of this neanderthal cave man beast with a beard and a stench that proves a compliment to sweat, cigarettes, weed and presumably meth simultaneously. If you miss his unsightly sore eye carcass you will smell him from across the room or convention floor.
His mantra is to seize or con his way in taking over TALENT AGENTS AND TALENT’S TWITTER ACCOUNTS. He then place an application into unsuspecting talents twitter accounts where he can remotely view their DM’S and tweet even if the pass words are changed later he still has access.
He data mines girls twitter for johns seeking escorting jobs on the girls accounts and later books escorting jobs with Trinity St Claire. He also will use that talents twitter account to slander his enemies at the performers expense.
Mike I have sent you an e mail of a dear friend’s and porn star screen caps where Bosco tried to extort her sugar daddy and harassed him at work and threatened her sugar daddy with calling his wife who he stalks and garners info from face book.
Please please publish this e mail or investigate the content
No end to these pirates in the porn industry. Get rid of one and two take his place.
I knew of Howard’s back handed ways of charging from 0 to $50 a month for so called PR which is fake PR services/ the lack thereof PR.
If you are paying him wise up, if you have paid his now asking preposterous price $200 a month demand a refund. Never mind his ” dead beat list” fuck him.
It seems early on he bought fake followers on twitter and then have porn stars retweet his fucking nonsense and gibberish to further capitalize from adult star’s followers and mask the fake followers that are botz and robo followers of his with real followers of porn star’s fans. DON’T FALL FOR IT
Bosco has many many fake twitter accounts where he attacks good people. Just FYI and fear not those fake accounts with phony robo bots followers are like 10 followers anyway.
His 10 followers are probably guys like Donny Long.
Dude I’ve seen this guy b4. didn’t know who he was. He was following around some girl at exxxotica taking pics of her. She didn’t know. I thought he was just some creeper fan.
Glad this guy is finally being outted again and Mike South is giving us the real scoop. Who does this kind of stuff? Shocking is all I can say.
Skeet Jizzle, the fake accounts is a new wrinkle in this. You’ve got some great knowledge too. Thanks for sharing.
