We just got an email back from Beth Allen, the attorney representing former Fantasy Adult Video general manager Denny O’Neil Jr, who is suing the company for allegations listed in yesterday’s post. Yesterday, lawyers for Fantasy said: ““We are going to vigorously defend the case. We don’t think it has any merit. Our view is that O’Neil was fired for legitimate business reasons—he was not good at his job and was fired. We think this is a sad case of him making things up against his former employers. We have interviewed a number of employees and found not a credible shred of evidence to support any of his allegations.”

Allen, O’Neil’s attorney, hits back. She says:

This case is about how JR O’Neil tried to inject professionalism into the Oregon Entertainment Corporation culture and took steps to ensure that the company abided by very basic worker protection laws. His reward was to be terminated. Under Oregon law, that type of retaliation is unlawful. We look forward to the opportunity to prove Mr. O’Neil’s complaint in court.

Fighting words! Speaking of lawyers, this one has a great name. Like an apartment manager named Lisa Home. Or…er…forget it.
