Porn star bares all except lawsuit against ex
By FRANK GEARY
REVIEW-JOURNAL
Because she is the star in nearly 100 porn movies, it's hard to
imagine that Penthouse Pet Racquel Darrian is shy about much.
Her age, weight, bra size, eye and hair color, sexual orientation,
cosmetic surgery, one-time drug habit, tattoo, favorite actor,
favorite food and sexual fantasy are broadcast on carnal Web sites
that speak glowingly of the temptress, known in her prime as the
"brunette goddess of porn."

But kept confidential from Darrian's legion of lustful onlookers are
the dispute, deliberations and outcome of a lawsuit she filed in Clark
County in 2000 against her former husband and porn co-star, Bradley
Gerig, who went by the stage name Derrick Lane in the 1990s, according
to Web sites devoted to the adult-entertainment industry.
Darrian, a Las Vegas resident, declined to discuss her case and
refused to identify the judge or the attorneys in the case.
"It's not for the public," she said. "I have rights to my privacy.
This didn't have anything to do with anything illegal."
Most lawsuits in Clark County District Court are open for public
review, however judges for years have sealed cases such as Darrian's.
No information is available to the public on those lawsuits, but the
Review-Journal obtained limited information about cases sealed since
2000. Many litigants are wealthy or wield influence in Las Vegas
politics, business or the courts.
Judges said the state Supreme Court's 1995 Whitehead ruling gives them
authority to seal cases, but critics said the practice is
unconstitutional.
Racquel Darrian is the stage name for Kelly Jackson, former Atlanta
Hawks cheerleader and the Penthouse Pet of the Month for October 1990.
According to one Web site, "The grey-eyed brunette stands 5'6", weighs
120 pounds and measures 36C-24-32. Racquel sports a black panther
tattoo on her right bottom cheek. She normally performs only with her
husband Derrick Lane and with girls."
Unlike most of the nearly 140,000 lawsuits filed in Clark County in
the past six years, which are available to the public at the
courthouse, nothing is known about the dispute between the porn
princess and her former husband.
Kept confidential are the name of the judge who sealed the lawsuit,
the names of the lawyers who litigated the case, the judge's reasoning
in sealing the case, and whether Darrian or her ex-husband requested
the case be hidden from her fans.
Elizabeth Gonzalez, presiding judge over the county's Civil Court,
said a case is sealed only when it deals with trade secrets,
proprietary information or a patient's confidential medical
information, or when both parties to a lawsuit agree that information
in the case is confidential.
Darrian's case presently is assigned to District Judge Lee Gates, who
was on the bench at the time the lawsuit was filed, sealed and
concluded in May 2000.

Anyone have photos of her in the Atlanta Hawks ?
If she is still escorting in Vegas does anyone know how one might
contact her agent ? Probably a little pricey for me but it never hurts
to ask ...... Thanks again Badger .
Thanks for the info though. I had heard that she was on an NBA
cheerleading squad, though never saw anything of that. Wasn't it in her
Penthouse write up?

I personally think she only got into this industry due to Lane.
Go to this site and read what people have said about it.
