Yeah he appeared but I believe they used his real name (Ronald Hyatt). ---

Just so you know, this thread was from 2002. An update on Ron Jeremy; he’s been charged with multiple sexual assaults and has been working his way through the court system. ---

I’d like have “co-starred with young Christie Canyon” on my resume. ---

I saw some news footage from when he was arrested. He was living in an upscale apartment building - in Las Vegas, IIRC - and had very little furniture and the apartment was knee-deep in garbage. ---

the problem is since screw magazine publisher al Goldstein passed on he can’t bail out a lot his “slime crew” of 3rd rate porn models adult film people and such … apparently he’d been bailing out Jeremy and others for years by providing hush money and support and the like ---

> [@nightshadea](#): > > apparently he’d been bailing out Jeremy and others for years by providing hush money and support and the like Don’t doubt it in the 1990’s - Goldstein was a bit of as misogynist sleazeball, if granted a free-speech icon of sorts like other early pornographers (Larry Flynt et al.). But not for quite a few years I would imagine. He was basically dead broke and intermittently homeless after 2004. ---

Basically progressing dementia (could explain the hoarder living conditions described earlier?). Technically could become competent if there is improvement, but that’s iffy. It looks like the Hedgehog’s story ends in a state hospital… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-the-heck-is-ron-jeremy-doing-anywhere-near-a-television-camera/108568.md?page=2)
