Breaking (No, Really): Roman Ragazzi Resigns

May 5, 2007
JONNO

It's a good thing that new Raging Stallion/CollinO'Neal.com exclusive Roman Ragazzi is getting a lot of attention in his porn career these days, because it looks like he's out of a day job: thanks to some particularly overzealous (and pretty slimy-sounding) "reporting" by the New York Post, he was outed as an employee of the Israeli consulate in New York and tendered his resignation earlier this week. Although Ragazzi made it clear to the party who contacted him via his BigMuscle profile (which has since been removed) that he wanted to keep his official job separate from his extracurricular involvements ("I am single. I work at the United Nations in New York. They don't know about my other job, and that's how it should stay", he reportedly wrote in an email), the story demonstrates how difficult it's become for adult performers to keep their real identities private in the age of Wikipedia (which regularly posts performers' real names and home towns in their entires) and the ever-voracious online gossip scene. (Of course, the Post makes a further stretch and links this all to the "several recent scandals" which have "rocked" Israel lately.) We're more scandalized by the fact that despite his nom de porn, it turns out that (gasp!) Roman isn't even Italian after all. Is nothing sacred anymore?
