I mean, he’s been “retired”. I don’t think he’s done a scene in at least a couple years. While it was likely difficult for him to get proper and consistent hetero work once those clips of him messing around with Ace Rockwood/John Johnson came out. You can’t push the “I used to be ‘gay4pay” or “I only let guys touch my dick” narrative when you were filmed sucking dick and eating cum and taking dick up your ass in the middle of your hetero porn career. If he came back into porn, he’d likely have to do a combo of straight, homo and trans porn in order to make a decent coin. And who knows if he’s truly willing to do that. And who knows if he’s actually a functioning addict at this point.
It honestly seems like John Johnson played him, killed the last bit of his ego and put the nail in his hetero porn career. They were likely messing around for years (maybe were even legit boyfriends at one point). And once Criss became a full-on addict and John’s hetero porn started fledging and he wanted to get back into queer porn, John took that as an opportunity to “expose” Criss.
It is kind of an old story. Trusting people too much, trauma, addictions, mental health struggles, not maturely dealing with fluidity or hyper-sexuality, trying to fit perfectly into the ‘straight world’ and get hetero acceptance and praise, queer insecurities, gay resentments, not understanding sexuality or the gender, sexual, affection, romantic attachment, emotional investment, relationship comfort, commitment spectrum- all these different things undo a lot of these guys. Based on the charges it appears he’ll be serving some time. Hopefully, he’ll get his life together after being released.
