An ad-lt film star who ‘won’ the European $ex Championships has revealed images from inside the venue before her fellow competitors walked out of the ‘chaotic’ event last week, sparking a war of words between those involved.
The inaugural tournament was set to begin on June 8, with a reported 20 representatives from a dozen or so nations descending on an undisclosed location in Gothenburg, Sweden to take part in the seedy competition.
However, the six-week event to determine the continent’s most elite $ex performers was plagued with issues, and it was closed down within a matter of days – sparking a battle of words between the organiser and competitors.
While the organisation behind the tournament – the Swedish $ex Federation – accused some of the participants of ‘disobeying the rules of the competition’ by drinking alcohol and ‘consuming illegal psychoactive substances’, some p0rn star competitors slammed it for a lack of hygiene and for not carrying out HIV checks.
Now, Croatian ad-lt film star Marija Zadravec, aka Sweet Mery, has defended the organisers, and claimed she was declared the winner of the tournament.
In a post on Twitter, Zadravec announced she was leaving the competition, while also posting pictures from inside the house hosting the event – which has the appearance of a low-budget ‘Big Brother’ house.
In one picture, taken by a security camera, the scantily-clad participants are seen sitting on a sofa formed around a table with flags draped over the top.
A desk can be seen below the camera, also covered in flag print-outs.
Zadravec is seen sitting on her down, a few feet away from three male performers, while another group are standing below a sign advertising the event.
One person is seen, inexplicably, dressed in a haz-mat suit.In another picture, Zadravec is seen posing topless for a security camera. She is standing in front of a row of five beds.
Three other men are seen in the room, one of whom appears to be asleep in one of the beds.
A third photo shows more of the competitors sitting around a breakfast bar.
It is understood that the competition was pioneered by Dragan Bratic, who owns a number of strip clubs in the Jönköping area of Sweden, and who is understood to have set up the event to be live streamed over the internet to paying viewers.
Participants in the championship were going to be assessed across 16 categories in ’bouts’ to be held over six weeks.
These included their skills in seduction and massage, their proficiency in $ex acts, the appearance of their $exual organs, how many times they can orgasm, and their ‘artistry’ and ‘creativity’ in creating a seductive pose.
Bouts were reportedly set to last between 45 minutes to an hour for each category.
According to The Daily Star, female entrants were set to earn themselves £690 for each day they stayed in the venue, while men would earn £345-a-day.
The publication say the winner was promised £860,000.
However, some of the participants say there were issues from the start.
They said there was no hot water, no adequate sleeping arrangements, and that the hygiene was poor.
They accused the organisers of not carrying out checks for xually transmitted diseases, and one video appeared to show Bratic lashing out at the Ukrainian competitor when she tried to live stream their conversation.
Selva Lapiedra, Spain’s representative, described the organisation of the event as ‘chaos,’ telling Spanish publication El Plural that it descended into a ‘horror film.’
She also said that the website hosting the live streams was attacked by hackers.’Every day they attacked the website a lot , the cameras were caught , the page was not working,’ she said, adding: ‘The activities were not organised, the judges who should have been there were not … In short, there was zero organisation.’
However, speaking to Croatian daily newspaper Jutarnji list, Zadravec defended Bratic and the Swedish $ex Federation over the event.
She said that Bratic told her that based on the number of points she had accumulated during the tournament, she was the winner of the competition, and that this would soon be declared on the organisation’s website.
She also said her fee was paid every day she ‘spent in the house,’ and that her travel was also paid for.
Zadravec hit out at claims by other competitors that hot water was not available in the venue, saying that while the water heater broke down in one room, it was fixed the following day, and that hot water was available in other rooms.
The ad-lt film star, who has more than 60,000 followers on Twitter and almost 35,000 on Instagram – and makes much of her living though OnlyFans – said the ‘project’ was a big opportunity for her and her fellow competitors.
‘This is a very big project and the organiser wanted to make all of us big, famous, world names and give us the opportunity to make a very good profit, so everyone should be grateful for that because the whole world wrote about it and everyone benefited from the advertisement from that project,’ she said.
Zadravec distanced herself from the criticism being made by other participants, and accusing them of not telling the truth about what unfolded.
‘People from the porn industry are all connected, so it is very important to tell the truth,’ she said.
‘I am not a person who wants problems from this because we all had the opportunity to choose ourselves, so there is no need to put pressure on the organiser after everything.
‘As for my experience, it was great and I would like it to happen again one day because something like this is not little thing,’ she told Jutarnji.
She accused the other competitors that walked out of ‘taking revenge’ on the organisers and contradicted their claims that they were not paid.
‘We agreed on everything; what the fee would be, the method of payment and other details, I received a detailed contract which I signed,’ she said.
‘Dragan asked all the competitors to take with them some prop that represents the country we are fighting for, to be at the airport already record an advertising video for each individual,’ Zadravec added.
She said she got off the plane wearing a ‘Croatian T-shirt’.
It was reported earlier this month that a British representative — OnlyFans model Barbie Sins — had pulled out of the event citing ‘health complications’.
The remaining 19 competitors hail from across the continent, including Spain, Italy, France, Ukraine, Russia, Finland, Croatia.
