As we reported last week, porn star and Lucas Entertainment owner, Michael Lucas, was slapped with a lawsuit for allegedly leaving bodily fluid stains, enema kits, dildos and other things in a Californai Airbnb rental. But according to Queerty, the gay porn mogul has denied the allegations, suggesting the bodily fluids may actually belong to the property owner herself, who he claims is a “professional extortionist.” The property owner, Kristina Knapic, alleges in her lawsuit that Lucas rented her mansion in Ojai under false pretenses in August. According to Knapic, Lucas booked the house as a “summer rental” using the fake name of “Anna.” When he showed for the keys, he told Knapic he was Anna’s brother-in-law.
Five days later, Knapic returned to her house and was horrified to find, according to the suit…
“…urine, semen and fecal matter on the linens, carpets, upholstery, walls, ceilings and in the hot tub…. enema kits were found throughout the house — on the floors, in the beds, in nightstand drawers and in the trash” and that “various sexual devices were found in the beds and in the trash. The hot tub water, was brownish in color.”
Knapic found a business card for Lucas Entertainment on the floor and started to put the pieces together (or see dollar signs.) Now, she wants $30,000 and demands that Lucas not distribute the footage, if any, shot on the property.
“Plaintiff has not, and does not, rent the property for the purposes of filming adult pornographic movies. Such an image is not one plaintiff wants associated with her pristine home.”
But now Lucas is firing back. In the statement below, Lucas says there is absolutely “no merit” to Knapic’s claims. He also says that, contrary to her insisting she maintains a “pristine home,” there is a “fairly well-equipped sex dungeon” on the property, which is not mentioned in the Airbnb listing but is available for use by tenants. (What!?)
Lucas sent screen grabs to Queerty from two text message conversations he had with Knapic shortly after checking out of the rental, in which he says everything appeared to be just fine:
In his statement, Lucas also suggests that it was actually Knapic who threw the wild sex party and that she is “now looking to a porn company to fund the repairs” to her sex dungeon.
His statement, below;
Simply stated, there is no basis whatsoever to this claim, and we have
photographic evidence to prove that.Ms. Knapic was a resident in a guest house on the premises during our
entire stay. Our windows faced her windows, we shared the yard and
garden, we shared laundry facilities. If there were any activity
which would have resulted in the damage she now claims, it would have
been evident.When we first arrived, we inquired if it would be possible to extend
our stay, but were told we could not because the house was already
rented to others.Paragraph 17 of the complaint says Ms. Knapic entered the property on
August 16, after we had vacated the property, and found a mess.
That is a completely false statement.On August 27, 11 days after we left, we texted Ms. Knapic to ask if
something we had forgotten in the refrigerator had been found. She
responded by text on August 31 that they were in Cancun and that their
cleaning staff had cleaned the house and threw everything out. Not one
syllable about any issue with the horrible condition in which she
claims we left the house on August 16.There was absolutely no claim at that time of any problems at the property.
Cleaning staff went through the house to prepare it for the next
rental. Again, absolutely no complaints about the property.
In fact, we have photographs and video that we took on both our
arrival and departure dates showing that we left the property in
pristine condition. Ms. Knapic’s assistant Dorian even complimented
me on how clean the house was.On August 27, 11 days after we left, we texted Ms. Knapic to ask if
something we had forgotten in the refrigerator had been found. She
responded by text on August 31 that they were in Cancun and that their
cleaning staff had cleaned the house and threw everything out. Not one
syllable about any issue with the horrible condition in which she
claims we left the house on August 16.Obviously, if the house was in the condition as described in her
complaint, the response on August 31 would have been something other
than “sorry, my cleaning staff threw everything away.”Ms. Knapic claims in paragraph 20 of her complaint that bodily fluids
were found on the walls and ceiling. If true, that must have been one
heck of a party. No such party occurred on the days we were there …
and she was there the entire time.Here’s the truth: the house has a unique and unadvertised feature:
a fairly well-equipped sex dungeon in the basement, complete with a
sex swing, whips, chains and miscellaneous bondage paraphernalia. A
video of her sex dungeon is attached. We did not use this room nor
any of the equipment in it.Not having been served with any papers, we cannot ascertain if the
complaint as filed is verified. But if Ms. Knapic continues with her
claims, she will have to make statements under oath and provide
admissible evidence of her claims. It’s also her lawyer’s job to
ensure she does not commit perjury.If the house was trashed, it was trashed by someone other than us. It
is possible that she or her renters had a sex party in the dungeon
that got out of hand, and she is now looking to a porn company to fund
the repairs.I have also included a few reviews on the house from other sites such
as TripAdvisor.In my opinion, this woman is a professional extortionist, and that’s
clear from the reviews she has received. It’s also an obvious
contradiction that she did not keep the security deposit, but now has
decided to file a lawsuit.Ms. Knapic alleges that our filming will damage the “reputation and
romantic image” of the house. If that was a real concern, she could
have framed her complaint innocently and omitted the salacious
details. By drafting the complaint as she has, Ms. Knapic has secured
the publicity and notoriety she so clearly sought.It took two months for Ms. Knapic to concoct this false claim and file
for damages. Her lawsuit is absolutely without any merit whatsoever.
Kinda sounds like this woman doesn’t have a leg to stand on in court. I SO wish Lucas had pics of Knapid’s sex dungeon –don’t you!?
