MODELS : PLEASE READ THIS WARNING, it's IMPORTANT

[uncle bob]

Dear all (especially all the lovely models out there),

I have just heard a HORRIBLE tale from yesterday....................

Now before some smart Alec says "there's two sides to every story"

PLEASE READ THIS........................

I was chatting to a model who i had the pleasure of working with earlier this summer this morning (I'd rather not name her at the moment, i will in the fullness of time but at the moment i'd rather not as i feel POLICE need to get involved) and she told me of her problems...............

She went to a shoot which seemed ok - the guy came via Glamour Finder and had references so she thought all would be fine.

It was a spanking shoot (but thats not the point). The tog in question asked her do certain things and they agreed a codeword (industry practice), he the proceeded to BEAT her to a pulp..........he ignored the said codeword and made her black and blue before letting her go - HE DIDN'T EVEN PAY the agreed fee as he said she hadn't completed the shoot.........WHAT A BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She had to get to the train station via taxi and return home in a VERY distressed state.

This morning she is still black and blue, thus unable to work for quite a time, next week she had a BIG job worth very good money to her which she now has to cancel along with two smaller shoots so the poor girl not only didn't get paid y/day but now loses next week's income whilst she recovers.

I AM GOING TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER AS I AM APALLED THAT SOMEONE CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS MONSTROUS BEHAVIOUR.

There are more things she told me but i'll keep these to myself but once i've done some more investigations i will report back to you all.

What i will say is "DON'T DO A SPANKING SHOOT IN THE MANCHESTER AREA UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE OF IT'S CREDIBILITY".

Wish me luck and take care out there.

There was a post similar to this last year on a different forum. I won't name the company involved in but the thread is here

Thanks 4 that info'n Harmony xx

May i pass my deepest sympathy to the young lady involved.

Unfortunately once again it only takes a few so called togs like that to get the industry a bad name.

I hope this experience as not put the young lady off modelling. ( I don't know who you are)
Remember the majority of togs are decent people even if they appear to be a bit eccentric on some of the shoots . ( that is a ref. to a post i read from Harmony on this forum yesterday). It also give you models something to laugh about.

Has far as this so called tog is concerned can he be named and shamed to save other models from the same experience . Or will that break the forum rules?.

No he can't be named here. See FAQ 3.9 for further information and what is allowed.

Ok i understand............... but can i advise everyone where NOT to go, ie: the area of the country.

You can tell me Bob and I'll post it in the password protected part of UKAP.

On another note and not to seem condescending to this girls situation. Girls engaged in this type of activity for work usually have to take up to 2 weeks off anyway so the bruising and welts can go away. I cancelled a job on a girl because her arse was beaten black and blue with raised welts and she went ballistic about losing the shoot! This was years ago mind.

Normally when producers of this type of material say it isnt that hard or extreme are usally (not always) lying to get the girls to do it anyway. Once they've made the marks its too late. The girl has to write off two weeks of work to heal.

A lot of girls do not realise that part of this thing is the bruises and welts, sometimes the wounds inflicted too.

I think girls should really do their homework on some people before agreeing to work with them is all I can say.

Point taken Terry but this girl was truly upset nay traumatised by the whole thing..............i'll mail you now - cheers m8
