Quote Earlier this month, Taylor Button and his wife filed a third-party counterclaim in U.S. District Court in Nevada, admitting to a consensual "throuple sexual relationship" with Sage Humphries, the lead plaintiff in the suit. The third-party claim and counterclaim says the Buttons "had a consensual sexual relationship" with Humphries "after she had reached the age of majority," but alleges she had been involved in three prior sexual relationships as an underage teen with much older men, including Katz.

dirac Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Q&A with Daniel Camargo and Gia Kourlas in The New York Times. Quote At the John Cranko School in Stuttgart, one of your teachers was Peter Pestov, who trained many male dancers at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy. How important was he to you? He was really a changing point in my studies. I started working with him for the last two years that I was in the school, and that was very tough training. We would do a three-hour class. You’re not allowed to drink water. Sometimes it would be two hours of jumps. Like extreme training. But when we were outside of the studio, then he would be very kind. But once we were working, there were no jokes. Link to comment
