Now Gay Porn Star Armond Rizzo Is Fighting With Ricky Larkin Over Bottoms Being Paid Less In Porn
His performances in gay porn are good, but Armond Rizzo’s Twitter meltdowns are equally entertaining, and he’s back for another one today! This time, Armond is having it out with performer Ricky Larkin over bottoms allegedly being paid less than tops at gay porn studio “Blacks On Boys,” and it all started with these tweets from Armond yesterday:
While BlacksOnBoys is no doubt saddened that they’ve lost Armond’s respect, the studio has neither confirmed nor denied Armond’s pay gap claim (the studio’s Twitter account hasn’t been active in over two years). Armond did receive a response, however, from colleague Ricky Larkin today, who theorized that the BlacksOnBoys tops are paid more because they’re black, and the studio’s “fetish” is non-black bottoms being fucked by black men:
In my opinion, as a viewer, each performance in a scene (fetish or not) is equally important, and therefore tops and bottoms should be paid exactly the same. Armond, however, told Ricky that “bottoms deserve more”:
The debate over who has to work harder continued, as Ricky then argued that tops have to stay hard for hours on end, which is true. It’s perhaps the most important aspect of a scene for me, as there is arguably nothing worse than a limp-dicked top.
While Ricky concluded his completely reasonable tweet in a very complimentary tone, Armond continued to overreact and lash out in anger, telling Ricky that he’s come up with “bullshit conclusions” about his “work ethic” as a bottom:
Ricky then ended the fight by calling Armond a “psychopath” and blocking him:
While this argument won’t reach the legendary “toxic pygmy” or “prolapsed oompa” status of Armond’s previous Twitter fight with Brute Club (nothing ever will, tbh), the debate with Ricky still brought up important issues, with both stars making some good points.
However, Armond ventured into some very hostile, arguably transphobic territory by criticizing Ricky’s work as a bottom with trans female performers, with Armond writing that Ricky becomes a “bottom bitch” when his trans female co-star is a “chick [with] a dick.” Armond might want to rethink this one:
