I finally have a second to breathe and post regarding my volatile decision to make my blacklist public, a decision in which I still stand behind.
I took the blacklist down because I reblogged it from another model. I was the catalyst for this whole thing, so I feel the post should be in my words and mine only. I also feel I should be the one receiving the fallout for what I started.
I am not actively adding to my blacklist. If you have had a negative experience with someone I encourage you to reach out to the authorities, Facebook admins, and Model Mayhem moderators (MM especially has specifically requested people come to them).
I cannot thank those who have offered support and solidarity enough. I have been receiving hundreds of messages an hour since my initial posting so I am incredibly behind on messages right now, but am slowly responding to every single one.
I do not recommend the following photographers:
Kevin Saunders | Hidden Beauty Images. Inappropriate (for brevity, groping, soliciting sex, sending dick pics, extreme limit pushing, and the like will fall under inappropriate). Runningwolf | Matthew Allen Werther. Dangerous (assault, and anything physical). NH Cherrystone | Michael Finley. Dangerous (verbally abused and physically threatened me).
