Black porn star sues director for making white co-star call him N-word during racist sex shoot
New York Daily News ^ | May 17, 2018 | By NANCY DILLON and TERENCE CULLEN

A black porn star from the Bronx says he was duped into performing in a hardcore-racist adult film that depicts his white co-star calling him the N-word without his consent.

Maurice McKnight, who goes by the stage name Moe the Monster, claims in a new lawsuit the hate speech was spewed during a shocking shoot in Tarzana, Calif., last July.

McKnight says director James Joseph Camp tried - and failed - on two separate occasions during the production to get his pre-approval for use of the despicable dialogue.

He claims Camp first approached him before filming began and said the female lead, identified as Deborah Hinkle, had agreed to use the ugly slur on camera.

Despite McKnight's explicit refusal to give the green light, Hinkle addressed him with the racist slur twice during the film's so-called "money shot," according to the complaint.

Speaking to the News, McKnight compared the verbal assault to an ambush. "I just felt violated and betrayed," the 36-year-old Bronx resident said Wednesday night.

McKnight is seeking damages for lost wages, emotional distress and embarrassment. He says the defendants knowingly created a "work environment" that was "hostile and racially abusive."

"The use of the N-word in the workplace is extraordinarily harmful to African American workers. It's a violent, abusive word that embodies the pure evil of racism. It has no place in our society," McKnight's lawyer Dan Gilleon told The News. "Moe is going high by filing a lawsuit instead of acting in kind to this egregious act of racism."

I think a scene from the movie Hardcore made way back when had no problem with that word.

It was some clip I saw on YouTube.

Oh, the irony. Working in porn, but still has his dignity.

So he’s just fine for not only exposing his junk on video, but exposing himself during sexual acts...and he is offended at WORDS?

Wow. Just wow.

Clearly, all of the blood has gone from his brain to his “monster,” because this guy just isn’t thinking straight.

He’s in the wrong business then. People speak in unfiltered ways when it comes to such activity. There is little need to pretend. If you can’t handle it, then find someone else to work for. He is ‘Blacklisting’ himself in that industry, as a whiner and troublemaker.

The director coutersued for sexual harassment, noting that the actor exposed himself and performed a sex act RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM!

Or he should anyway.
