When I became suspicious
it was already too late states Anne Bissell, an actively sought
after speaker, expert, anti-prostitution activist and author of the
popular new book Memoirs of a Sex Industry Survivor. Ann
has studied women in the sex industry for over two decades. She accepted
Dr. Phils invitation to voice her expert professional opinion
on his show titled Bad Influences (aired May 2). Unbeknownst
at the time, Bissell and the Dr. Phil producers were about to be had
by porn stars Jocelyn and Crystal Potter a.k.a. The Virgo Twins.
The curvy blonde twin sisters posed on The Dr. Phil Show as a couple
of regular girls at a juncture. Crystal claimed she wanted to quit
her mediocre secretarial job to become a prostitute at The Bunny
Ranch and tried convincing her twin sister Jocelyn to join her.
Dennis Hof, owner of The Bunny Ranch was a show guest presenting
the benefits of working at his brothel, views opposite of Bissells.
What was not known to the show producers or to Bissell was the twins
history in pornography and their relationship with Hof.
And what a relationship it is. One only has to look among the lengthy
porn acting credits to find the connection. The Virgo Twins had
a lead role in the adult film "Goin' Down at the Bunny Ranch,
(released June 2003) directed by and staring none other than the
notorious porn star Ron Jeremy, who is a frequent visitor to The
Bunny Ranch. Additionally, Hof told a reporter for the New York
Daily News, "I'm dating them."
I was not aware of their past when I was on the show
Bissell told Globes investigative reporter John Blosser. Anne
continued: Viewers were defrauded, but I dont think
the Dr. Phil show knew about it. A Dr. Phil spokesperson told
Globe reporter Blosser: we go through an extensive interview
process with the show guests to try to ensure that this kind of
thing does not happen.
Bissell sensed something was awry when she noticed Ron Jeremy in
the audience. He is Mr. Porn. I tried to warn the producers
that it smelled like a set-up to me, but they were busy getting
ready to air.
What has yet to be discovered are the motivations behind the twins
stooping so low as to defraud Dr. Phils staff and audience.
Theyve refused to respond to a request for comment.
