HDTV Design Star is former porn star

By Julian Kay • Jul 18th, 2008 • Comment • Category: Male Celeb Bootie

So another openly gay reality show star comes out of the porn closet. His name is Michael Verdugo — Mikey V. to his fans. He’s a front runner on HDTV’s “Design Star” — a show I’d never even heard of until now.

About a dozen years ago Verdugo, a former cop, did a B&D video called Rope Rituals for Tom “Ropes” McGurk with a well known porn star named Chris McKenzie.

The submissive slave Mikey V. (acting under the name Jeremy Wess) did a bondage session with dominating master McKenzie. Their bondage rituals included hogtying, whip cracking, and cum spurting. The video is currently out of print, but it’s available on VOD at xTube. A video clip and photos are posted below…

Incidentally, a set of hardcore Chris McKenzie pix was posted here on the old version of this site. He was quite popular back in the day.

UPDATE: Verdugo was voted off the show, and his police dept. place him on administrative leave pending an investigation by internal affairs.

UPDATE II: Rope Rituals producer Christopher O’Neal denies that Mikey V and the bondage star are the same person. He told the Miami Herald that the porn actor who used the stage name Jeremy Wess presented photo ID with a name other than Michael Verdugo.

UPDATE III: “Design Star” staged a reunion, but Mikey V. was conspicuously absent.

Julian Kay rates about a 5 on the Kinsey Scale, which makes him perfectly suited for his job reviewing gay, bi and (occasionally) heterosexual adult videos. Even though he has a backlog of over a hundred titles in his personal collection, he would greatly appreciate recommendations. You can contact julian through the email below.

  1. As much as we would all like to see Michael Verdugo naked….. it is obvious that the hottie in the bondage (acting under the name Jeremy Wess) is not Michael V. Only if he had his perfectly perportioned nose redone. Wishful thinking all…..

  2. I dunno. Evidence posted elsewhere looks pretty convincing. What are the odds of him not only resembling a former porn star, but also having a matching tattoo?

  3. Are we sniffing glue?!? That is beyond a shadow of a doubt Michael Verdugo aka Mikey V from Design Star ‘08….anyone who has seenn that show and heard him speak at length and then listen to him in the porn will know this…the only difference is a leaner frame of that of a 22 year old (1996) and a full head of hair…if you were being accused of starring in a porno and it was not you, you’d scream from the rafters…not go on record of no statement other than that from your attorney regarding the matter of keeping your job…please
