I did a shoot with him and I had no problems whatsoever. He was polite, professional and charming.

I WAS told about his history before the shoot, and it didn't make any difference to me. I will judge people on how they are with me, not on other people's opinions. Lots of girls said "Don't go!", but as I said, I had an enjoyable shoot and I would definately work for him again if he asked me to.

No, I didn't dress up as a schoolgirl!! I don't care about what people have done in the past, it's as simple as that. Who knows the full history of every producer, director, model etc - and would it be fair to say to people "Don't work for X, he takes loads of coke and when he's drunk he hits his wife" or tell you that someone did time for GBH years ago? People turn up for jobs every day and do them and are oblivious to the personal situations of the people hiring them. There is no need to pre - judge people. As I said, I found him to be a very nice person, and before anyone brings up the subject - yes, I have been abused by a family member in the past so I know what it feels like, but it didn't stop me taking the job, and I am glad I did.

There are a lot of self-righteous bullies on the forum missbond. Pay no attention to them.

Really admire you for putting your head above the parapet, that sounds strange...

How about well done for sticking your neck out.... that doesn't sound good either.

Oh just well done for .......being you.

Part of the problem where FC is concerned is that not every model has a negative experience. One model was horrified she wouldn't go back to work for him, no matter what; yet her friend did a number of video shoots and had no problem. No rhyme or reason as to why one should feel threatened and the other not.

If we're talking bullies, then Sutcliffe might fit that description better than those trying to warn models away from him.

In the end, I'm glad Miss Bond has no horror stories of her time in Halifax. It's her decision who she works with, and Gemma Jane's and every other model looking for work. But they ought to be aware, and that's what this thread is about.

Bear in mind, Theresa May worked for him a number of times, Lucy Gresty, Amanda Long, Nadia, Layla-Jade and agood many more. If he treated every model shabbily, or made them feel uncomfortable (euphemism), he'd have been out of business long since.
