Skye: 'Details' Was Wrong

Adult performer Ryder Skye is not happy with an article in the September issue of
Details magazine titled
What if Your Wife Were a Porn Star?*
"I feel article misconstrued what was said by my husband and myself," Skye said. "It seemed to be more about picking what was most salacious about our relationship. They were not interested in telling our story accurately."
Although the piece speaks of Skye's personal life outside of the business, Skye said she believes the magazine skewed facts to portray the issues the article raised in a negative light.
Allthough Skye — whose name was misspelled "Sky" in the article — said that the misrepresentations painted an inaccurate picture of her marriage, she also views the article as part of the double-edged nature of being an adult personality.
"I'm more in the public eye than when I began in this industry," Skye said, "and that includes being recognized in the mainstream as an X-rated performer. There are responsible members of the media who are accurate and forthright in their representation of the industry. On the other hand, I recognize that there's always a risk that the motivations behind an article aren't always exactly as it's presented. As I aspire to become a well-known personality, I make a serious effort to put my best face forward at all times. The adult industry deserves to be recognized in a positive light for a change."
Skye will appear in an upcoming episode of the nationally syndicated talk show Maury as a result of the Details article. She says she plans to correct the misconceptions presented in the article during the segment.

*Full points to
Details for using the subjunctive "were" there. An obscure rule of grammar requires one to use "were" in a statement contrary to fact, as "If I
were king" of "If I
were a rich man." Nowadays the more-pedestrian "was" often turns up, as "If I
was to of beaten Apollo Creed in that first fight, then I would of been heavyweight champion."
I'm a language geek, I got a kick out of using "Details Was" in the headline. Can't do that very often.
