UPDATE: Carmella addresses the rumors on her Myspace blog. CLICK
*L*G* at xxxPornTalk has a link from thisis50.ning.com “confirming” that Carmella Bing and Naomi Russell have HIV. But the site didn’t link back to any source. I ran the paragraph through Google and it’s from the LA Times dated June 12, 2009 about this past summer’s HIV scare.
I found this site meshuge.com and it’s dated January 25, 2010. They quote the LA Times article. So meshuge.com recently posted the LA Times article about this summer’s HIV scare and thisis50.ning.com picked up on it. But no where on the LA Times & meshuge.com articles does it say Carmella Bing and Naomi Russell have HIV. The picture thisis50 use is of Naomi but the paragraph they printed doesn’t mention either woman. Did thisis50.ning.com just pick a random porn star picture and threw Carmella’s name into it too??
I couldn’t find an email at thisis50 but I left this comment:
“Where did you get the names Naomi Russel & Carmella Bing? They don’t have HIV or AIDS! How dare you print that! One woman was infected this summer but her name wasn’t released. The adult industry knows who she is but it’s certainly not Naomi Russel & Carmella Bing. You quoted a paragraph from the LA Times dated June 2009 but they never mentioned anyone’s names. The only source I can find that seemed to have started this rumor is you. You didn’t link to any source either. You picked Naomi’s picture to run and decided to throw Carmella’s name into it to?? Do you know the damage you’ve caused and how this story has now gone global and the lives & careers this could ruin?? I tried finding an email address to write you but couldn’t find one. Where did you get their names??”
My guess is the rumor started at thisis50.ning.com because many of the websites that also ran this story linked back to them. I don’t know if whoever started this knows both Carmella and Naomi and something happened between them for this to happen. I’ve been told they’re both retired and Naomi has been for a couple of years.
You can now see how many sites have picked up on this rumor just by running their names through Google:
Carmella Bing and Naomi Russell
Carmella Bing and Naomi Russell HIV
Carmella Bing and Naomi Russell AIDS
I assume this is Carmella’s Twitter page because her page is set to private. I’ve put in a friend request but she still hasn’t accepted. I’ve emailed naomirussellxxx.com but no one has emailed me back. I don’t know if Naomi herself runs the website. But I would think whoever gets the email would have notified Naomi by now about this news.
So if anyone knows Carmella and Naomi personally, could you tell them about what I wrote so they can start taking whatever steps to solve this.

Hi Darrah,
I looked into this a couple of weeks ago and came up with only deadends. I also contacted AIM and sent them a link to the rumor, but did not hear back from them either. I tried Carmella & Naomi, but they didn’t answer.Strange rumor since the only place the girls’ names are used is in the title. Maybe one of the girls will get back in touch with you.

Darrah, do you realize that both performers are escorts and that perhaps this is a disgruntled customer? They were not involved in last year’s scandal.

I wanna to know if this is true or not!
You would think that after 3 weeks the pornstars would come out and say it isnt true they would want to defend themselves but neither has so Im starting to think this rummor is true i hope not but keep us posted the greatist forum i got was naughtamerica

Frank, neither Carmella or Naomi have HIV or AIDS. One woman was infected and it’s not either of them. It seems to have started on that thisis50.ning.com site. It’s rapper 50 Cents’s social network. But nothing anywhere mentions who was infected. Only the post title says their names. And they picked Naomi’s picture.
Many women who leave porn usually stay away and don’t contact their old friends. Naomi has been retired for a few years already. So they might not know or ever know unless they come back or talk to old friends. Many times, their agents can’t even get a hold of them either. I emailed a few people and some of them didn’t even email me back.

Thank you Cindi. It’s strange AIM wouldn’t reply back to you. They know you and would probably know how to find them to tell them both.
iwasthere, this was already posted on XPT and other more mainstream forums. More people visit XPT than my blog.

Thank you for the link Adam! I finally updated my new blog and made an update in the post above linking back to the blog:

rAfiloE, that doesn’t mean the shows will put them on. It’s also hard sometimes to find people once they leave porn. Many never want to be found again and they just disappear. So many usually don’t have any contact with anyone in this industry again and don’t even know what’s being said about them at all.
