Hi Mike!
My name is Brandi Foxx. I’ve been in the industry for going on a year and a half now. I want to tell you about a guy whom you may already know, Scott Andrew, Co-Owner of Metro Talent. Here is my story:
I signed up with Metro Talent with a guy who is no longer with them. He left to be an agent for OC Modeling. This was in August. After a week of being with Metro Talent, I asked for a release from my contract because I was dissatisfied with their business ethnics, let alone the bullshit that Scott has both said and done. Scott has refused to release me from my contract. His reason is because I owe $325 for a model house that I stayed in. I told Scott, “How in the hell do you expect me to pay this and you know good damn well that you haven’t gotten me any work?! ” If I can’t work, I can’t pay my bills. As a result of Scott Andrew and his staff not getting me work, I’m flat broke, and Scott Andrew doesn’t give a fuck.
Scott Andrew is a total douche bag and a MAJOR shit talker. He has gone around telling people that I do drugs (and I don’t. I don’t even smoke weed or cigarettes), I don’t work for Metro Talent (but yet there I am on their website), etc. 15 to 20 girls have called him out on Twitter. On top of that, Metro Talent had the nerve to talk shit about other agents and agencies that are WAY better than them!
Scott has also called me uneducated, incompetent, inferior, retarded, crazy, basically calling me everything under the fucking sun. Why? It wouldn’t surprise me that he’s racist against black girls.
Confronting Scott about him talking shit is one thing, but what he tried to do with my pictures is another story. Just a couple of weeks ago, someone told me to go check out Metro’s website. I did and lo and behold, I see pictures that I know FOR A FACT that I didn’t give him/Metro Talent to use. I confronted him and he said, “I’m unaware of the specifics….we’re just trying to help the photographer get traffic “. Unbeknownst to Scott, that photographer has been doing his thing for over 45 years. I said that his excuse was total bullshit. You are the co-owner of YOUR agency! You cannot sit here and tell me that you don’t know the dos and don’ts of using someone else’s pictures, especially without permission and NOT know what’s going on with your agency, especially as far as talent. RIDICULOUS! I said that I was going to tell the photographer about this and he said, “Go ahead, tell him,and I’ll just tell him what a crazy bitch you are! ” I emailed the photographer, gave him Metro’s information and he actually left a comment on Metro’s website literally telling them that they didn’t have permission to use the pictures they were using. A staff emailed him and said, “We’ll address the issue promptly.” Sure enough, the pictures were taken down from the website. So that goes to show that if your staff was that quick to address the issue, then they knew they had no business doing that, and if THEY knew, of course, Scott Andrew did too.
Another act Scott Andrew and his staff like to pull is by saying, “We get burned by a lot of talent. ” Really?! You talk shit about your talent, you don’t get them any work, and they have the nerve to say THEY get burned by talent?! Can you say, “Get the fuck out of here?! “
And that’s not all. The model houses they own have homeowners that are not the friendliest. I’m not going to mention this person for the sake of whatever dignity they might have left(if any), but he was an asshole for no apparent reason at all. Even he called me retarded and said things like, “I don’t wanna talk to you, I don’t need any information from you “, but oh he wanted my money…. Also, they like to accuse the models of stupid shit. The day I left this model house in Van Nuys, the girl that is the “House mom “, had the nerve to accuse me of stealing a blanket! A BLANKET! They have cameras all over the house that they can check, but they would rather point fingers and call them liars instead. I heard a story that a few months prior to this, they accused a girl of stealing towels! TOWELS! Like seriously?!
Bottom line, Scott Andrew is a SCUMBAG! He’s really quick to talk shit but when you confront him, he’ll run and hide like a little bitch. He and his staff don’t do shit for their talent, but yet expects money from them?! He and his staff are the retarded ones! I’m flat broke because of this douche bag to where I’ve stepped out of my realm to get whatever help I can get, and I don’t give a fuck what Scott says. He shouldn’t care because he hasn’t done a damn thing and he knows it! Like I told people, “FUCK SCOTT ANDREW! “
This is my story. Run with it
Sincerely,
Brandi Foxx

Another Agency Beef http://t.co/gF7z1YvqFY
If your agent has ever booked you for a non condom scene in california, that agent violated the law, and you have every right to break your contract, with no fees. A ‘mananger’ in California has not right to procure work, and take a percentage of that work as payment, and you can void that contract at no cost to you. Here are several links, with all the information you need to void the worthless contracts that agents and managers in the porn industry charge.
And if the Agent is using sub-agents, those sub-agents are EMPLOYEES, not independent contractors, and are under the direct control of the agency.
Here are a few links every talent in the industry should be aware of. Perhaps APAC can take a close look and APAC can EDUCATE performers about their rights.

If you have questions call the ATA,,,,a REAL association of REAL talent agents. Their lawyers, listed in the last link will help you, without anyone in LATATA knowing about it.
APAC, you want to educate performers, here is a great place to start. This organization, ATA, will be glad to come and speak at your next meeting, if you are REALLY interested in educating yourselves on these issues.
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab&group=01001-02000&file=1703-1703.6
APAC, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take special not of section 1703.4 and all its subdivision. Has an agent ever charged you for photographs, take them to court and cancel your contract with no fee.
Is APAC really concerned about educating performers,,,,only time will tell. Ihave a comment with more links still awaitng moderation wit several more links to help performers. Brandi, note the law that talks about an agent making public negative material about a performer who has contracted that agency. Screen cap every negative thing said about you and get a lawyer. If what you said here is true, you have a slam dunk case.

RT @MonicaFoster: #porn industry is calling her “crazy”, but I believe that she did experience some #racism http://t.co/z6ybXs25c2 (I know …
its possible that she might be the victim of racism, but if you have ever met this woman you’d know within minutes that the is a fucking nightmare. sure she looks very attractive and very in shape, but shes in her early 30’s and she will throw tantrums and act like a diva. i know that she doesn’t do drugs but she acts like shes on them. she will freak out, cuss everyone out around her and then make demands. she is a nightmare, avoid her at all costs. the porn industry isn’t for her, she feeds the stereo type that black women are hard to work with in the industry, and its horrible stereotypes like that that have reduced the rates of black women over the years.
