Matthew Rush
Talks to Tass about the Mysterious entity known as Damon Kreuzer |
|
| Feb 21st 2006: |
Tass: Hi Matt
Matt: Hey Tass
|
Tass: Wow I feel like I already know you! We share a lot in common… [Laughs].
Matt: [Laughs] Yeah I know. |
Tass: How did you first come into contact with Damon?
Matt: Well he contacts me through e-mail, said he had a site and he sounded legit. I didn’t visit the site. Anyways, he wanted to interview me. He wanted to go to dinner and I was like ‘alright so be it’ [Laughs] little did I know that years later it would come back to haunt me. |
| Tass: How long ago was this? |
|
|
.Matt:This was back in 2001. I believe at the time I was dating Jake Gianelli. |
Tass: So how did he approach you? |
| .Matt: Well, like I said, he contacted me through e-mail and we met at a restaurant. He was waiting when I got inside. |
| Tass: Was he alone? |
| Matt:Yes he was alone. He was an older man. He was a little freaky, to be honest… |
| Tass: Oh my. [Laughs] So what did you talk about at dinner? |
| Matt:We talked about the industry, what my plans were, and what movies I have done. |
| Tass: Did he ever offer you his services as an agent? |
| Matt:He never offered his services as an agent. I think he knew that I already had an agent.Yeah, so after that, I go to check on his site and the interview is totally not what I said! It was some of it, but all rearranged. That’s kind of how he played me for awhile. He would throw up negative things about me and knew I would get pissed off. So he would start to interview me again and pretend to be my friend for awhile and it went back and forth and then finally I was just fed up! |
| Tass: Oh yeah |
| Matt:You know- people that would talk about him around town, said he was no good and I was starting to see what type of Luezer/Crazy Man this guy really is. |
| Tass: Yes. Well, obviously people in the industry tend to feed him stuff, for instance David Forest. Why do you think he does so, KNOWING that he too has been trashed? |
| Matt: I honestly don’t know why David even deals with him. I have no clue. I guess that’s just the type of person David is. He likes the drama. That’s fine- but keep it away from me. |
| Tass: Oh yeah! |
| Matt: So yeah, every once in a while Damon will start to throw more stuff up about me on his site. Just out of the blue he’ll make up stories. |
|
Tass: Yes. About this recent so called break up between you and your current boyfriend Ethan Kage over on Valentine’s Day: Now how in the world would he have known this? |
Matt:Yes! You see what he does is that he goes on the muscle service forums where I post and I have this to read, and everybody reads it
Tass: Yes I know. I tend to read them at times too!
|
|
 |
.Matt: Well, I had mentioned I bought Ethan a Boston terrier for Valentine’s Day and he starts to pull all this information off and starts these lame and sorry stories saying he has sources here and there and I’m like 'oh my God!’ The man is crazy, I tell you [Laughs]
Tass: Yes I know [Laughs] I really think that the only reason why people visit his site is to get a good laugh. I know I do. |
| .Matt:Yeah me too [Laughs] I would get people telling me “Oh he’s writing this about you and that.” You know I don’t even care anymore [Laughs] but I am guilty too- get him started- because to me it’s like a battle of the wits. |
Tass: Oh sure [Laughs] |
| .Matt:For example, like taking a string in front of your cat and dangling it. He’s going to continue to bat at it [Laughs]. |
| Tass: Too funny! He sure is a trip though, for him just to pull stuff out and think he has something on you; write about it then post it up on a weekend because his hosting company is gone for the weekend is just too funny. For instance the recent story on myself I thought was just ridiculous. |
| .Matt:Yes. I just don’t really know what to believe when I go there. I mean I really never thought there were people like him out there that really existed. I think I’m one out of a handful of people who’ve actually seen the man. |
| Tass: Yes I know [Laughs] |
| .Matt:Yeah I don’t know if that’s a good thing. [Laughs] |
| Tass: Yes, because he so mysterious. He’s been telling people that he is this young and handsome guy you know and of course from what I hear he’s really not. |
| .Matt:Oh no, he’s not. He’s in his mid 50’s or 60’s. I can remember him having a distinct oral odor which made you not want to get close to him when he talked. I just wish I really had a camera when I met him… |
| Tass: You know Zeb Atlas also met him not knowing who this guy really was. |
| .Matt:Yeah, I know. I kinda felt bad for him. |
| Tass: I remember David forest telling me that Zeb described him as “frumpy”, but I don’t understand- was he not warned about Damon? |
| .Matt:Apparently not. |
|
|
Tass: Apparently it was David Forest himself that set up this meeting which led to a story in DNA magazine.
Matt: Oh, really! |
Tass: Yes how crazy is that?
Matt: Yeah. I know it is really crazy [Laughs]. |
Tass: I really think this guy lives in a shelter or something….
Matt: You know I wouldn’t doubt it because from meeting him and knowing what he looks like and the way he dressed, you can tell he’s not the richest man in the world and that he’s really not all there. He’s really NOT all there. [Matt repeats this loudly] I don’t even know if Kent Barclay is even his real name. Even when you Google him you get all kinds of information regarding him, mostly negative crap |
|
|
Tass: Yes. Very true. For instance I found one of Mickey Skee’s old columns from 2002 and he basically talked about how this Kruezer guy has had porn stars actually running & fleeing from the business. http://www.gayvideodad.com/columns/c4.0250.mickey.skee.html |
| .Matt:You know? Can he not see that people make fun of him within the industry because he’s a complete joke? Does he really need that much attention, that he thrives on it? It amazes me that nobody has anything good to say about him, well except for Jeff Palmer. |
Tass: Oh gawd don’t even go there, they are perfect for each other. |
| .Matt: [Laughs] Well you know this latest attack came out of fucking nowhere and I’m like ‘Oh great! Here we go again!’. |
Tass: Yes. It’s so unbelievable…. So there’s a site that’s dedicated to exposing Damon Kruezer called Tommysocks.com. Does anyone know who he is? Do you know? |
| Matt:No I don’t. I’ve had several people ask me but I have no clue whatsoever. |
| Tass: Whoever he is thank God for him! He’s hilarious! I’m glad there is a site that at least exposes what Damon Kruezer is all about! |
| Matt:Yeah, you know things will be quiet and you’ll hear nothing from Damon Kruezer: just a bunch of crap. I mean one day he loves Chi Chi Larue and the next day he hates her, the same here with me. For instance I posted something on the muscle forums about the recent GAYVN nominations, because Parker Williams had posted on my thread. It was me just venting [Laughs]. He basically pulled it off and posted it on his site as if I had actually done an interview with him! But he didn’t say anything negative, wasn’t mean or nasty but then the next week he was back to being the backstabbing guy he is. I mean what is it is his site ratings down or something [Laughs]. |
| Tass: You know the thing is there’s no logical motive behind his site. I mean he doesn’t make any money from it, nobody sponsors it, in fact I think the only person who links to it is Jeff Palmer, so what’s the reason for it? |
| Matt:I don’t know. Like I said, he thrives on the drama and likes to cause trouble just to ruffle people’s feathers. I also think that he loves the idea that he’s flown so far under the radar and has pretty much kept anonymous from everybody, so he hasn’t been caught yet. |
| Tass: So true. It’s very easy for him to get away with the things he says. |
| .Matt:Exactly.
Tass: I just don’t understand why the studios don’t do something about this. After all the slanderous things he’s said about certain stars. Don’t you think it hurts? This has continued for so long.

 |
| .Matt:Yeah. I know. I don’t understand why nobody has done anything. I mean, he trashes everybody and if he doesn’t trash them he praises them, oh, and if you look at him cross-eyed then……The thing is that he got me good because I was gullible, I was new to the industry and had no idea how anything worked. He took a private moment in my life and made it public for the whole world and used it against me .He would keep doing it just to get another interview out of me and it really pissed me off because I really thought he was a friend. He took total advantage of me. I just don’t want him to do that to somebody else who would be even more vulnerable. You know the industry can be very critical and what if he was to do this to somebody else and they couldn’t handle it? I just don’t want to see this happen to anybody. |
| Tass: I understand he also took full advantage of a few newcomers, including Gavin Braun, which can be heard through a few voice recordings only at Tommysocks.Com. Porn producer Kevin Clark had contacted me and also had some horrifying stories to share which will be a part in this series of interviews to come later. |
| .Matt:Yeah he can be very ruthless, because we’ve all seen it. |
| Tass: Yes, I really think he gets star struck whenever someone in the industry pays any attention to him like you. Like you said, he takes total advantage of them and when he doesn’t get what he wants he gets even. |
| .Matt:Yeah |
| Tass: His site is more like the porn version of the “Enquirer”. |
| .Matt:Oh yeah. It’s sad we get sucked into his fake dramatic world. Next thing you know me and Ethan are breaking up and I’m dating so and so and Jean-Benet is going to be in it somehow [Laughs]. |
| Tass: Oh yes well you know he needs to throw in a thing or two to spice it up [Laughs]. |
.Matt:Well I loved his voice mail about the FBI calling.

Tass: [Laughs] Oh no! What about my remix of Luezer Kruezer? |
| .Matt: [Laughs] Oh my God I thought it was the best! |
