Furious adult film stars have walked out of the European Sex Championships, declaring the event was “chaos” that has “turned into a horror movie.”
The inaugural tournament was set to begin on June 8, with reportedly 20 representatives from a dozen countries descending on an undisclosed venue in Gothenburg, Sweden to compete in the seedy tournament.
However, according to one report, the six-week event to determine the continent’s most elite sex performers was plagued with problems from the start.
“The situation has gotten out of hand. It’s chaos. In fact, it has become a horror movie,” said Selva Lapiedra, representative of Spain, according to Marca.com.
Despite initial reports that the Scandinavian authorities had recognized the event as an official sport, they have since clarified that this is not the case and a request from the event organizer to do so was rejected.
But that didn’t stop Dragan Bratic, who owns a number of strip clubs in Sweden’s Jönköping region, and is believed to have set up the event to be streamed live over the internet to paying viewers.

However, it was reported last week that the UK representative – OnlyFans model Barbie Sins – has withdrawn from the event citing ‘health complications’.
The remaining 19 participants come from all over the continent, including Spain, Italy, France, Ukraine, Russia, Finland and Croatia.
Championship entrants would be judged in 16 categories in ‘fights’ to be held over six weeks.
These include their skills in seduction and massage, their skill in sexual acts, the appearance of their genitals, how often they can have an orgasm, and their ‘artistry’ and ‘creativity’ in creating a seductive pose.
Bouts reportedly last between 45 minutes and an hour for each category.
According to The daily starfemale contestants would earn themselves £690 for each day they stayed in the venue, while men would earn £345 per day.
According to the publication, the winner was promised £860,000.
This week, however, it emerged that the contestants left home over claims that Bratic had not paid them for their participation until now.
Lara Lee, another Brit who the Star said would fly to Sweden on Monday, possibly as a replacement for Barbie Sins, but backed out at the last minute.
“I heard people had left claims that they weren’t being paid, so I decided to get rid of it,” she told the paper.
“It’s sad because it was a great idea, but it sounds like it’s been so badly organized and turned into a bit of a mess.”
Ukrainian newcomer Talia Mint posted a video of the house before she left, saying she and the other artists were excited to be a part of the “project.”
However, the 24-year-old uploaded a video to her social media that appeared to show Bratic trying to grab her phone as she left the house.
She claimed in the clip that one contestant was allowed into the competition without being tested for HIV.

“He refuses to pay me for my time and my work and now that you have all the information about this project I want to get reimbursed,” she said, The Star reported.
She later said in a video that the police were called but could not enter the premises because they did not have a warrant. Now Mint claims she is taking legal action against Bratic and The Swedish Sex Federation.
It is believed that the organizer’s financial problems arose because not enough people paid to watch the event’s live streams.
Other artists have also confirmed they have left the event, with the official representative group for sex workers from the Balkan region announcing the decision on Twitter on Friday, citing “insurmountable difficulties.”
“The cameras were not working for the first two days of the match, which hampered the proper execution and documentation of the event,” Dobra Druzba (Good Friendship) said in a thread on Twitter.
“We were constantly dealing with overload, which made it a challenge for us to perform effectively. The absence of representatives from the Swedish Sex Federation at the event was very disappointing. There were also no security personnel present, responsible for ensuring our safety and health.’

The group said there was no running hot water, which “impeded basic hygiene,” and that the sleeping quarters were “unsuitable as they did not allow rest due to the early dawn in Sweden and the lack of blinds or shutters.”
The group also responded to claims by organizers that participants acted unprofessionally, accusing them of drinking.
“Alcohol was provided by the Swedish Sex Federation and we have written correspondence confirming that a so-called ‘party night’ was included in the competition schedule,” they said.
In a statement published by The Daily Star, the Swedish Sex Federation admitted the situation was “not good” and hit out at the participants.
“They all enjoyed all that popularity and took advantage of our organization to promote themselves and now they are asking for something that cannot be fulfilled.
“We are really devastated by the current situation and we have no idea how this will end,” the sad statement read.
Organizer Bratic told the publication that the performers were not invited as porn actors, but as “participants in the First European Sex Championship” and accused them of not behaving like professional athletes.

“They ignored the rules of the competition and the Swedish Sex Federation and behaved unprofessionally and to the detriment of the federation,” he said.
“They even brought alcohol home and they didn’t act like athletes at all. All participants are therefore disqualified from the competition.’
He complained to The Star that no one brought their country’s flags (except Croatia), and that his organization had to buy them.
MailOnline has contacted the Swedish Sex Federation for comment, but has not received a response as of 3pm on June 16.
