WOW!! Interesting thread.
1st off I have known Bobby for 10 years. He is one of the few guys who I talk with on the phone regularly. Over 10 years we have never had an argument or disagreement.
We see and view this industry the same way. I will always believe Bobby over anyone. Thats how well I know him.
Does he make mistakes? Sure, we all do. Did he make a mistake in this situation? Not at all.
How do I know this? Because I had almost the same exact experience with the same model. I know 6 other directors that had the same experience as well.
On my set, I was perfect. Let her do what she wanted, let her choose who she wanted to work with. Hair make up, etc.
She complained about anything and everything. Script, outfit, make up, time, etc. Verbally abused and teased my PA with Malice enough where he never wanted to be on set with her again, if we were to shoot her.
I put up with a lot of shit that day and handled it with a smile. It way sucked!! She was also talking about how much she hated being in porn and how she charged me $300 more than other companies.
My company wanted her shot, so money wasn't an issue. But if you don't want to be there, why take the job?
Before I worked with her I knew her when she was with PUBA. Her and Ivan were close friends. When she left PUBA, she slammed Ivan and PUBA in an article with a bunch of untruths.
Now anyone who knows Ivan; Can tell you that he is the utmost classiest guy in this business. Would never lie, would never steal, would never be part of a company that would ever be invoked in anything of the sort. And further more, he has never slept or acted inappropriate with any of his models or any model ever!! Yes not a one!! Dated one model like 6 years ago and only dates girls not in this business.
And for this particular girl to go after him for anything other than being a good guy and class act and good friend, is really sad.
Another story I also heard from a top rated Super Solid reputation Director was: She and the director had a disagreement because of last minute changes that were not controllable. She could have just declined the shoot, taken the Kill Fees and been done with it. Keep in mind, This is after everyone was flown in and hotels were paid for.
After turning down the shoot and taking the kill fee, she went on a few public boards complaining about what went down with unnecessary drama added to it.
But the most classless thing that got posted, was this directors girl friend had a miscarriage of his child and she went on to post that "His girlfriend was real smart to go run off and abort his child secretly". Who spits out venom like that?? Not nice, not professional and just plain mean!
I knew all of the above when I went to work with her and thought I could kill what ever she through at me with kindness. And I did and I got the scene done. And the scene looked great.
But Dealing with what I dealt with and keeping my mouth shut, made me physically ill. Literally, i was sick to my stomach after the shoot. Physically Nauseous from what I dealt with.
Nobody has ever treated me like she did or speak to me as she did, and not get punched or beat. (I would never ever hit a woman ever!!) I always have chosen to walk away from situations like that, but I couldn't this time.
This is how I look at it:
When Im shooting for a company, I represent that company. If I'm mad or upset, nobody will ever know about it.
So when I see this thread, I laugh my ass off because everyone who actually shoots knows this about this particular person.
We all talk and we all know who is capable of what.
Bobby knew all of this getting into it, but he chose to kill the scene and end his pain oppose to getting, verbally abused, physically sick and being a BITCH.
Could he of handled it better??? Of course, he should have not booked in the 1st place.
Bad Bobby!!! You should have known!! lol
I bet I get some kind of back lash for being totally honest and upfront.
My reputation is Super Solid!!
Just Dave
End of Thread!!
