I didn't go back and forth with her so it went away but I learned a lesson about crazy porn girls. Sounds like she played it out and wanted to drag my name in the mud either way. There is no polite way to tell a model she isn't hot enough to shoot. Next time I will just tell the girl I am having equipment problems haha.

yeah but then it is on your dime.
well, any shooter who have done this for a while have had this experience.
i have sent girls home for many reasons, being fat, ugly, on the rag, nasty tattoos, skin rash, sick, drunk, you name it. some days you spend 10 mins with the model and she doesnt have her shit together, might as well send her home. Sometimes i even pay them a small fee just to cover their ride, like $40 or whatever. better to avoid the drama.
last thing i want is to send a mediocre shoot to my customer.
