Porn King: The Rise & Fall of Ron Jeremy: Clips reveal mental decline
Porn star Ron Jeremy (Hyatt) has been declared incompetent to stand trial after being clinically diagnosed with advanced Alzheimer's. As a result of his greatly diminished mental state, he was sent back to a hospital for an open-ended, undetermined amount of time. For people living with this incurable disease, the long term prognosis is not good.
In January of 2013, Ron Jeremy drove himself to a hospital from his (former) condominium at 7250 Franklin Avenue in Hollywood after experiencing severe chest pains. He had severe aneurysms about to rupture in not one, but two locations, probably caused by soaring (untreated) blood pressure for an extended period of time. Ron refused to take blood pressure medication due to a possibility of impotence. It was reported in the New York Daily News that he underwent two emergency surgeries and was unconscious for a period of time afterward. Might this have been the genesis of his mental decline?
By late 2016 and early 2017 several of his costars in the business noticed a change in his behavior. Never a dapper dresser, he became even more disheveled in his appearance and began to hoard. Ron's tiny 449 square foot condominium became so overrun with trash that he could scarcely find a spot to sleep. More troubling, he became even more sexually impulsive and less cognizant of what was proper social behavior and etiquette when out in public; after all, he was Ron Jeremy. Most telling, his short and long term memory declined precipitously over the intervening years, to the point he could no longer write his name for adoring fans at porn events. At some point his California DMV driver's license was mercifully revoked.
No doubt more will come out in the coming weeks and months. While the closing chapter has yet to be written in the life of one of porn's most prolific--and unlikely-- lotharios, few aficionados of porn from the days of celluloid 16 mm and dark theatres will forget the diminutive, hirsute actor they called Hedgehog.
