Any insight why Michael Masterson is no longer appearing in videos on his websites?

Their new content was non-existent for several months, only recycling old videos, but now that they have resumed releasing new content Masterson is absent. Did he retire?

A couple of possibilities.

1. This is on the RSN news page:

Dear Members: Since our beginning, RSN has always been primarily a labor of love run by a very small team. We have 2 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees. Unfortunately, one of our key full-time employees is currently dealing with serious life-threatening cancer. They will be in and out of the hospital over the next few months. We hope you will be patient and understanding during this time if updates come a bit slower and if it takes us a bit longer to solve technical issues. We thank you for your patience and understanding, and if you wanted to say a little prayer, that would be cool too. Thanks, The RSN Team.

2. My understanding is that before Masterson's wife Lady J died back in 2017, he let Mr. Daniels and Ms. Burns run things while Lady J was sick, and Masterson had a bit of a falling out with them and there were lawsuits. Maybe things have finally been settled and he's no longer involved?

Um, it's Michael's company so if there was a falling out then the other two would be out. Really hope Masterson isn't sick. First time I heard there was a falling out and a lawsuit though.

He’s posted about this in quite a bit of detail on his Fetlife, but in short he and other members of his production team have been very ill during the course of this year. I gather that Michael himself has spent quite a bit of time in hospital.

It seems, though, that things are now largely back on track and new content is being filmed and uploaded.

Yes, I just read his posts. He was in hospital and had several surgeries, and his brother (the webmaster) has also been seriously ill and in hospital. Michael lost 25 pounds and before the summer said he was still having issues climbing stairs.

It is good to hear that he is on the mend. Although many of us would have volunteered to spank, those needed to be spanked in his absence.

I'm not on Fetlife but I'm glad Michael and his brother are getting better.

I got the feeling from a post on Twitter, X that Betty had surgery, and it was serious. The best to all of them. I was supposed to be spanked anonymously by Kailee when she was new as a domme and needed practice. Life got in the way.

I guess all of us sometimes forget these models and directors, etc. are real people with real life problems. Not only is everyone getting older, but health concerns just multiply as life rolls on. I pray for all involved in the industry that life is kind to them. They have provided so much entertainment to us all. Thanks are not enough. It seems prayers are not only necessary, but appropriate as well!!
