Hot Video Magazine Parts Ways with Editor Paul Jerome

PARIS—Hot Video, the venerable French adult magazine, has announced that it has ended its relationship with its longtime editor, Paul Jerome. The circumstances do not appear to be amicable. In a statement released Tuesday that contained no details about what precipitated the severing, Hot Video owner Franck Vardon remarked, “A successful team requires individuals with ethics, integrity, and loyalty; and because a team is only as strong as its weakest member, we want to inform you that Paul Jerome and our company have parted ways. Paul Jerome is no longer affiliated with Hot Video magazine or its associates.” Gerome Lorenzo and Fabrice Castel will replace Jerome, and can be reached at gerome@vcv.fr and fabricecastel@vcv.fr, respectively.
