Dateline San Francisco May 9, 2007

Raging Stallion exclusive and Collin O'Neal discovery Roman Ragazzi resigned from his job at the Israeli Consulate office in New York after he was outed by a Page Six article in the New York Post. Ragazzi had worked as an administrator in the office for some time. It is unclear why an undercover investigation by the paper was undertaken given that Ragazzi was not a high level or career employee.

Ragazzi, whose first movies will be released over the next few weeks,was unshaken by the news. He is eager to get fully behind his new career as an erotic superstar filming exclusively for Raging Stallion Studios and Collin O'Neal Productions. His first film is CollinO'Neal's Miami, due out on May 11. His second feature, and his first for Raging Stallion, is Michael Brandon's Tailpipes, which is scheduled for a June 15 rollout. This Monster Bang movie features an amazing scene set in a car garage between Ragazzi and RSS exclusive Remy Delaine. Ragazzi will also star in Chris Ward's giant military epic, Grunts, which is set for filming this summer.

Ward, who serves as the President at Raging Stallion Studios,commented on the controversy: "Roman is really in the hot seat right now--he is getting lots of mainstream media exposure which is almost all negative. There is a great deal of pornophobia and homophobia in the reporting. I am proud of Roman for standing up for his own sexual identity. He is a proud, sex-positive gay man who has earned my respect and admiration. On the upside for Roman, he will make a lot more money working for us than he did for the consulate!"

Roman Ragazzi will be available to meet fans at IML in Chicago (May 26) and at Gay Pride in San Francisco (June 24).
