Porn Stars FIRED Over On-Air Sex With Syphilis Overtones
Porn star Jessica Bangkok just got 86'd -- no, it's not a sexual position -- she got fired for letting a guy known to have had Syphilis have sex on her radio show.
Sources connected to Radio Sex -- a SiriusXM channel -- tell us Jessica, along with legendary porn stars Debi Diamond and Nicki Hunter all got the hook this week after the channel's owner launched an investigation into Jessica's show, "Real Life Stories."
The guy with the alleged STD is Mr. Marcus. Pics of his on-air sexual escapade surfaced on social media, and the suits at Manwin USA -- which owns Radio Sex -- went crazy.
We're told even though it's a sex show, no one is allowed to have sex in studio. Company policy not only prohibits it, they don't have the necessary permits to screw on air.
But an even bigger issue is the whole Syphilis thing. Mr. Marcus -- a porn star himself -- hid the fact he had the STD last year, and had sex with a bunch of porn stars. When word got out, the industry shut down for more than a month while everyone was tested.
The honchos at the radio station were livid that Jessica knew of Mr. Marcus' history yet let him do the dirty in studio. (To be clear, Marcus isn't accused of boning Jessica or the other porn stars in the studio. He's accused of banging a non-porn star guest he brought in.)
During their investigation, the honchos also discovered Debi and Nicki were doing sexual things on the air which is a big no-no. So they also got the axe.
In case you're a fan ... that's why all the shows have been in reruns this week.
Mr. Marcus has not returned our calls for comment.

June says the family plans to eat the same stuff they'd normally eat -- which ain't exactly Lean Cuisine -- and Sugar will just have to sit out on fried chicken nights.
At least sketti ain't fried.

Drew Brees The NFL Is Far from Fixing Concussion Problem
Long-term brain damage remains a serious issue among NFL players ... and the league still has LOTS of work to do in order to fix it ... so says New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees.
Brees said, "I think it's a major issue. It's something that we need to continue to put research [into] and treatment protocols at the forefront to try to find ways to treat guys that have those long-term head and neck injuries when they leave this game."
He added, "It is definitely a serious problem."
You'll recall, pro football has recently come under intense scrutiny for its long-term health risks -- following the high-profile suicides of several NFL stars like Junior Seau. The deaths have been attributed to a brain disease stemming from injuries the players sustained during their careers.
Last week, Adrian Peterson -- one of the greatest running backs of all time -- said he would never let his son play the game.
Even President Obama has said he would have to think twice about whether he would let a son of his play football due to the health risks.
The NFL has diverted a lot of resources to address the problem ... but not much has been done ... and the players are getting pissed. 2,700 players have already sued the league, claiming the NFL intentionally kept the long-term dangers of playing football a secret.
