I had a contract at New View a few years back, after taking classes and paying a bunch of money they stopped contacting me, after many emails the woman who had recruited sent me an email back telling me that I never had what it took to be a model and never would and that I was stupid for even thinking I had a shot. As you can see by one of her posts below her attitude is anything but professional. I read down through some of the posts and I do not know who is posting as Joe, but he is lying. Below he claims that Her Scene exclusively uses NW models. Meaning that they don't use models from any other company, and that they went out of business in February. I have been in Her Scene Magazine several several times threw my new agent, and I was just in their Derby Issue which was published in May. I am sure Joe will post something to try to cover up this fact but if they are a NW employee they have just been caught lying. Out of curiosity I thought I would look into some of the other claims Joe made in his post. Ian has in fact been in New york for at least the last to months according to his FB and Twitter band page's time and location stamps, FB: ian.mellencamp . Also its not illegal because while NV posts his work and photos on their site, implying that he works for them, they do not come straight out and say that he is one of their contracted models, and even if they did it still wouldn't be illegal. I am not sure about criminal activities, but I do know they have been reported dozens of times to the BBB and several of their senior and past employees have been associated with have been caught running modeling scams. So Joe can't say they have no activity listen when in 2010 NV was sued by Tanela Hickman, they paid her off in return for her signing a non-disclosure agreement so that she could not tell anyone. The court dockets and transcript are free online.\r
The internet is an amazing tool.
