If he didn't bother getting her to sign a contract like that then he was foolish to fail to do so. If he *did* get her to sign a contract like that then he was foolish not to hire one of the savvy industry attorney's to bring action against Vivid for tortious interference or whatever other strategies the attorney might devise.
