Chi Chi LaRue responds to sexual assault allegations

Papi Suave has accused Chi Chi LaRue of sexually assaulting him a few years ago.

Suave to share his experience with the porn director. (In the same video he also slams Steve Cruz, Cutler X, and OnlyFans for other issues in the industry.)

In his post, Suave said that LaRue was drunk and asked him to come to LaRue's hotel room as a friend; the director was struggling as a recovering alcoholic. While there, Suave alleged that LaRue tried to force the actor to have sex.

"Yes, Chi Chi sexually assaulted me with promises of making me a star," . "He lured me to his hotel room, because earlier that day he told me he was struggling with alcohol abuse, and he told me he had a few incidents where his life was jeopardized because of it. He Facetimed me saying he needed a friend, and that’s how he lured me to his hotel room."

He added: "He forced his hand down my pants and touched my penis. He made it seem like he needed a friend, because he had relapsed. But he forcefully touched my penis after I told him I was uncomfortable, once I realized what he really wanted. As he forcefully touched my penis, he said 'I’m going to make you a star.' [...] Once I told him I was uncomfortable and didn’t want him touching me, he kicked me out of his hotel room."

LaRue about the accusation:

"I saw Papi Sauve’s Twitter video. I am embarrassed and honestly blindsided that he would share his account of something that happened between us, and we worked through, over a year ago.

On the night Papi talks about, it’s true that I was depressed and drinking excessively. I did ask him to come over because I was in desperate need of a friend. There was no ulterior motive in doing so. I do not remember the events playing out exactly as he describes, but I do remember that it became awkward when I expressed feelings for him that he did not share. We talked about it later and I offered my sincere apology, which he accepted.

Since then, Papi is someone that I have cast and employed extensively, both as a performer and PA. Outside of work we kept in contact regularly. I booked him to dance at my ManCandy party and we often exchanged very friendly text messages. He was aware of my personal struggles and always listened with a kind ear. I consider him a good friend.

Personally, I have always advocated for the rights of models. In my thirty-six year career in the adult industry, I’ve never used my position for sex, and that certainly wasn’t my intent that night. It was naive of me to think that what I felt was an off-set personal relationship wouldn’t be clouded by our work together. This is my failing for which I accept full responsibility. I am now fourteen months sober and I still have more work to do, one day at a time.

Please do not victim-blame or shame Papi on social media. I am incredibly sorry about what happened, and wish him the best in all his endeavors."

Suave did not accept LaRue's explanation of events, so it is one of those he said / he said #MeToo situations.
