The Adult Performers Actors Guild Union (#APAGunion) chapter has been TERMINATED with the Department of Labor as of March 19, 2020! ***UPDATED***
March 19, 2020PNT commentary: It is highly advised that from here on active pornstars and adult performers completely ignore anything and everything the non-elected “president” of the APAG union known as Alana Evans (aka Dawn Dangaard) has to say (and has ever said).
As of March 19th, APAG is no longer a chapter under the IEAU.

At this moment, the International Entertainment Adult Union would like to announce the termination of our Adult Performers Actors Guild, APAG. The IEAU has official filed and terminated APAG with the DOL, as well as filed lawsuit under the Supreme Court against Alana Evans, Ruby and Kelly Pierce, APAG’s former President, VP & Secretary to recover all of APAG’s assets totaling over $210,000.
The board of the IEAU can no longer tolerate under any circumstances, the constant online hatefulness and the [bullying]; that is not what we are about or who we are, that is not the professionalism we want to portray; therefore, the board has decided to pull back and regroup.
The Adult Performers Actors Guild is a trademark entity of the International Entertainment Adult Union therefore, the name will stay with the IEAU, all APAG members at this time will be under the main IEAU membership. Once all that has been done officially, we have retrieved back all assets from APAG officers, we will then regroup and figure out together, how to move forward.
Phyllisha Anne, the founder, states: “I put this union together for the [sole] purpose to help people, and create a [safe] place for workers to be able to come to for guidance and help. There has been so much slanderous talk and bullying; that helps no one, and it takes the focus away of what is important. Right now, we need to pull together as an industry and a union is an entity that can help everyone in this time of need. I was hoping they would all see the good in what they were able to do, but that doesn’t seem to be possible, even though it saddens me, it’s time to say goodbye.”
Elisabeth Thomas, International President states: “We thank all the current officers very much for all the work they have put into this union; however, we wished you would of lead us with a more professional stance [sic] than is currently being projected as the union, and we look forward to establishing the APAG chapter at a later date, once we have had time to step back and regroup.
At this current time, APAG is no longer registered with the Department of Labor under the IEAU. As of March 19, 2020 APAG is now officially terminated, until further notice.
***UPDATE***
We want to deeply apologize for those of you who the former officers of APAG have bullied, talked down too, not cared about their issues, that is not what a union is about. And it deeply saddens us that we had to take such measures to correct the situation. @APAGunion

Thank god that @ientertainadult has stepped up to do the right thing.
I am hopeful this means the industry can work together without the constant negativity and unprofessional actions of @APAGunion and their officers which far outweigh the good they have done. Thank you 🙏 https://t.co/qe0fxa3GV4

Also why is a professional organization trying to dictate what makes a performer? There's amazingly successful models who don't even use Twitter. This is embarrassing @ientertainadult

This industry is left without any type of options of sick pay, unemployment or other state resources the rest of the world is now receiving, again this industry which is one of the biggest is left to find to its own, and we r trying to help so let’s focus there together
