Remembering Bud Foxx

"Bud Foxx, also known as Christopher Maddux to his friends and family, passed this earth Wednesday night May 7, 2008. He passed as he always had lived, with love in his heart, humor and laughter in his spirit and a continuous and never ending devoted passion for what he believed in and fought for.”


That was a message left by William Wolbrecht two years ago. Who was Bud Foxx? Why remember him now? I can try my best to explain both of those thoughts now 2 years since his passing. Simply put Bud Foxx was our conscience. I have no idea where he came from, but one day He arrived online to do battle with what he considered to be a pernicious evil, Kent Barclay AKA Damon Kruezer. At the time no one knew his motives, but all welcomed his sharp wit and powers of understanding of just how demeaning to the human spirit Kent Barclay was.

By now we are all familiar with Kent Barclay’s back story. A vile little man who hides behind a keyboard to spew all lies imaginable about anyone he can in an attempt to somehow validate his own sad and lonely existence. A man who at 57 was the cause of his 83 mother losing her senior citizens housing because he was living there illegally. While he was claiming to own a duplex in SOHO in NYC and being friends with Heath Ledger, whom he met with regularly along with a fictional life partner Marc, he actually was living in his mother’s one bedroom apartment in an assisted senior citizen’s complex in Norwell, MA. She was evicted, stating in the court papers “He is my son and he can't afford any place to live”. Just imagine a 57 YO living off his mother’s meager Social Security check, and having her evicted from her home of 13 years because he was too lazy to get a job and provide for himself.

Into that breech stepped Bud Foxx. He saw just how evil Kent Barclay was, how he terrorized young gay men, and he bravely spent the last time he had on this earth exposing the liar for his lies, and literally spending the last energy he had fighting evil as he saw it. It was a noble effort in the grand tradition of any superhero, real or fictional who saw evil and tried to fight it, putting his needs secondary to the objective of making life better for someone else. That is by it’s definition heroic, and Budd Foxx was indeed a hero.

We all know that Kent Barclay is evil. Taking him on means you are going to be lied about in the most vile of ways, that did not deter Bud. He forged ahead, and for the first time in a long time with his brilliant intellect and sharp wit shone a light on Kent that he still has not recovered from. Even after Bud Foxx's death Kent was vile but how could that surprise anyone. He took credit for Bud’s death saying it was Karmic retribution for taking on Kent.


Now we all know there is no depth to which Kent will not sink, but even for him this was all time low. What it did was expose for all to see the depravity of this sick man. Since then Kent has been on a downward spiral that has included being rebuffed by the porn industry as a whole, and a fraud scheme that defrauded a northern California man out of $11,400 claiming to be making a film called Brad’s Buddies 2.

Let’s look at both of those developments. Kudo’s go out to Morgan Sommer and his Cybersocket awards who let Kent know that his hide behind a keyboard approach was no longer going to work. He told Kent that no nomination for awards was coming unless you come into our office and prove who you are. Now keep in mind Kent has Claimed to have move to Silverlake California in October. He also constantly claims to be going to places all across Southern California, yet remarkably no one has seen him. He can't produce anyone to corroborate this. He uses his sock puppets, his fictional life partner Marc, his never seen business associates to appear relevant, yet none of them exist. Even his few apologists like Chris Steele at Jet Set have not claimed to have seen him. Bottom line Kent never left Mass and is still there. Now however his stolen money has run out, he has sole the bounty he stole and it is back to the now 86 YO mothers SS check to try and get money to go online and make anyone who will listen think he is important.

The next set of Kudo’s go out to Zach Sire at Unzipped for his inviting Kent to make a public appearance in Silverlake and Kent went through his whole list of lies and then never showed. Since then Zach has exposed his lies and his pathetic lying to the point where Kent has become a joke.

The last set of Kudo’s go out to the young models themselves who have set up their own Kent watch. As Kent approaches a young man and tries to tell them he can help them if only they send him nudes and engage in sexually charged conversations with him, the young models jump into action and tell the new person that he is a liar and a fraud, and with the use of twitter every time Kent raised his head he gets beaten down by the vast group of people who have been burned, and they do not allow Kent to harm anyone else.

All of these are ongoing events that keep Kent from hurting other young gay men, with his lies about who and what he is, and what he can do for them. All he can really do is get them on the phone and try to get them to tell him about their sex lives so he can jerk off on the other end. That’s quite a life isn’t it.

There are also the legal predicaments that Kent finds himself in. There is the continuing parental abuse of his mother. All the court documents regarding his mother’s eviction in Norwell including his forging a lease and rent payments to the court were passed on to the Quincy Police and the Quincy Housing Authority. As were the details of his defrauding the man in Northern California, including the bank account he opened to receive half the payment, were turned over to the FBI, the Secret Service(who have jurisdiction over interstate bank fraud), and finally after April 15 the IRS for the tax fraud involved.

He claims to be a world travelling jet setter who shot in Paris among other places. Yet not a single person, model, crew member, editor, no one has said a word about working with him. There is not a still picture anywhere of anything or anyone he claims to have shot. Just lie after lie from a cockroach that has to hide in the darkness and has to fear showing his face in public. All lies from a thief who crossed the line and will end up finally in jail where he belongs. At least then his mother’s Social Security will go to her and not to him.


Bud Foxx is gone two years now. One of the great sadness’s of the AIDS epidemic is not just the loss of those it took, but the sadness of the loss of those they left behind. There aren’t words to help that pain, there isn’t a cure for that loneliness. For those Christopher Maddux left behind our hearts cry with them, and as unbearable as their loss is, I think Bud Foxx is looking down on us now and seeing the end in sight of the vile Kent Barclay and he is smiling. When a budding genius a few weeks ago made a parody cartoon showing Kent Barclay to be the loser buffoon he is I know in my heart Bud is smiling. He gave his last energy to see that this man would stop preying on gay youth. None of that was in vain. He laid the tracks down so the train carrying Morgan Sommers, Zach Sire, Jason Pitt, Cameron Fox, MJ Taylor, Phillip Ashton, Mark Wilson, and countless others ride the “Haters Express” from one end of the country to the other exposing this liar and his lies.

And where is Kent Barclay? Homeless and wandering Massachusetts wondering as he looks over his shoulder is it is the FBI? The Secret Service? The IRS? Local authorities looking at Parental abuse? Theft of Government services? Welfare Fraud? Imagine the life of a homeless vagabond afraid to show his face in public. He posted this picture on his website and removed his face from the picture. Seriously what does that say about the man known as Damon Kruezer?
Afraid if he does his past will catch up with him and snacth him away. He isn’t on much anymore, that is what happens when you have no money, can’t hold a job, live of your elderly mother for decades, and engage in fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, theft of government services, parental abuse, and countless other crimes. It’s what happens when you lie. Karma does it exist and it is indeed a bitch. I can go in Public and meet Jason Pitt and Mar Adams and have my picture taken with them. ElMysterio can go in public and have his picture taken with Michael Brandon, Ricky Sinzs and Roy, Dewayne in SD can have his picture taken with Brent Corrigon any day of the week..
Kent has to hide in the darkness looking over his shoulder wondering who is coming after him and when he is going to be put away
We miss you deeply Bud Foxx. I know it doesn’t help, but when you fell your torch was picked up by dozens of brave people to took the light you brought forth and made sure it was shown brightly on the cockroach known as Kent Barclay. When he is locked away for good the first toast at the hater’s party will be to you.
