"Terrorist" Stryker

Former porn star Jeff Stryker is making headlines again, but this time the ultra-hung bad boy isn't in the news for his sexual prowess, but for an ongoing dispute over the operating hours of a folk-music club located next door to his Valley Village office. And the situation has gotten seriously ugly.

In the most recent issue of the L.A. Weekly, writer Steven Mikulan pens an exhaustive study of the war between Stryker (whose real name is Charles Peyton) and Kulak's Woodshed owner Paul Kulak in which Kulak alleges that Stryker is a "terrorist" who's been bullying, threatening and intimidating him for years by lurking in the alley they share. (Kulak fails to acknowledge that for a lot of people, running into Jeff Stryker in an alley way would be a fantasy come true, but we digress...)

For his part, Stryker, who calls Kulak "the king of beggars" on one of four websites he's launched in his fight against the club, claims that Kulak's music club has caused him emotional distress and a loss of income because he's too distracted by the noise to write his long-in-the-making autobiography. (Stryker's $4 million suit against Kulak is pending in court.)

Stryker rants and rails against Kulak in the L.A. Weekly article, claiming that Kulak ripped out the wall of his club "just to torture me," and vows to continue his pursuit of getting the club shut down no matter what the cost.

We don't want to say Stryker is being a little unruly, and we admit we don't know the full story, but seriously, when was the last time you heard anyone complain about folk music being "too loud"?

I met Stryker a few years back actually, after I first moved to Los Angeles. It was at a Christmas party thrown by some mutual friends. He was very friendly and laid-back and offered me pot. We smoked together and chatted for a while, then he left early to go home to his young son. I remember being struck by the fact that he had the exact same hairstyle that he'd sported during his years in porn. And he was also really hopeful

I remember being struck by the fact that he had the exact same hairstyle that he'd sported during his years in porn. And he was also really hopeful that his music career was going to take off. (We all know how that turned out.) I hope the disillusionment of life hasn't turned him into the bully described in that L.A. Weekly article. I remember thinking he seemed like a nice enough man.
