Wow!
It is difficult to follow this thread.
Truth of what?
That is a business? That people are using others for the own benefit? Are all businesses the same?
Slavery is wrong. Are they forced to work like that? As agency are even worse than a pimp? As business point, I believe LC and Ellie have been promoting very well. Now if they are not happy with their life and want to get out... They have to reach people who can help them? I think, Kat, you should explain what benefits you got to be independent? How easy or difficult it was? In order to help others... otherwise in my eyes, there is no truth.

When you have someone who controls every aspect of your business, there's not much you can do. Plus, they have every cent you make & you have no money to leave, I basically was trapped. The # that was used for me was a text app used on AY's phone. In the past anyone who's set a meeting with me, notices they weren't able to call me. Yes LC & EA have their own business phone & don't have as much control over them as I did, but they don't control their online sites or their emails. I know this first hand. Their pimp does a daily collection of their money. He is abusive as well. Even though from the looks of it she's left the biz, TL was a good source to let you know the situation they have as well. She left with nothing but the outfits that were bought for her shoots. So no, its not easy to leave someone who has all the money you make, has control over everything & blackmails you if you want to leave. Its mental & physical control. When I left, I left with literally almost nothing. Considering I worked for their pimp almost 4 years. But I'm not the type to allow my world to crash around me or not be able to provide for my child. I had a car with gas in it, so I went & got 2 jobs & enrolled in school. I do believe these women stay with him for the same reason I did for a while, for the sense of protection. Its scary being an independent provider. There's a lot to fear, but no doubt in my mind I do believe they'd like to have their own $ & see the benefits of their work, but instead they are funding AY to live a lavish life. Another benefit why it was kind of easier for me to leave is I live 3 hrs from KC. AY literally lives 10 mins from them. So if they even made a slight hint they were trying to leave, he could hunt then down. So basically their only options are to either leave AY & work for another pimp, or leave him with absolutely nothing & have to gain access of their sites again by making a new email & new phone #. Their #'s are shared on the same phone plan as AY, if they were independent, he would've cut their phones off. Just like he did Taylor.
