Chi Chi Leaves Vivid Over Condom Policy

CHATSWORTH — Chi Chi LaRue is leaving Vivid Entertainment. The famous veteran director, female impersonator and gay production company owner, who over the last four years has done more than 30 exclusive films for Vivid, told XBiz that Vivid’s recent move to a “condom-optional” policy prompted the move.

“I am a huge condom advocate,” LaRue told XBiz. “I’m such a vocal person about my feelings about condom usage. That’s one of the reasons I went to Vivid in first place; because they required condoms for their performers.”

LaRue’s dedication to condom usage is obvious to anyone who has seen films put out by her production company, Channel 1 Releasing, all of which carry PSAs that stress the importance of condoms. LaRue also has delivered similar messages when she has performed at numerous benefits throughout the country for organizations like Aid for Aids and Aids Project of Los Angeles.

“It’s an issue about protecting the actors,” LaRue said, who admitted she had no idea why some studios don’t enforce condom usage. “A big dick going in a hole doesn’t bother me with a condom on it. And the condoms we use you can barely see them.”

LaRue said she is particularly disturbed by the influx of gonzo films in recent times that push extremism without added protection.

“They’re like shoving three dicks up a girl’s butt and not wearing a condom,” she said. “I mean, come on.”

Although LaRue said she left Vivid on good terms, she wished studios would “wise up” and realize that “it’s just a condom.”

LaRue said her departure from Vivid doesn’t mean she will stop directing straight films, however, and invited straight companies to contact her for directing contracts.

“I’m doing great with my own company, but I’m always ready and willing to direct a straight project for anyone who wants me to do that for them,” she said. “Just let me use condoms.”
