Katie.Kartwright v. GFX: Unethical business practices, mere negligence or isolated incident?

Beagle's Avatar
1) Mrs M raises a good point about Dre’s simple operation compared to GFX’s multi city operation. The difference in their level of professionalism was one detail I found difficult to conciliate with. It’s easier to believe that GFX has to rely on several staff members for the kind of operations it has, than it is to believe that GFX is run by Dre, who does everything on his own, and relies on Mrs M as a puppet figure.

2) I found some holes in Katie’s account early on, but didn’t further pursue those because it wouldn’t prove anything that would further the agenda of the investigation other than to call her credibility to question. And if I did so early on, it would compromise the discovery process. Without going into the details, let’s just give Katie the benefit of doubt and attribute it to false memory.

3) The fact that some of these long-time providers like gfekrystina and magicalmariah would continue working with GFX, if GFX’s business practices were questionable, is difficult to conciliate with.

4) The most important information was buried in the previous threads. The messages got lost amidst the drama:

The testimonies from those members, whom I consider to be credible, proves that the person doing the booking is Mrs M. The determining evidence (4), in conjunction with the other considerations, leads me to believe that GFX should not be held responsible any further for the events that transpired between the driver and Katie.


Other considerations:
I don’t doubt that the driver treated Katie inappropriately. However, that’s between Katie and a driver who no longer works with GFX. Even if Katie’s claim about the PMs she has received from other members getting harassed by the driver is true, there is still no way to prove that he still works with GFX. Even if you can prove the driver still works with GFX, it doesn’t matter that much as long as he’s not the manager behind GFX.

Parting thoughts:
Keep an eye out for members who have the propensity to spread rumors for their own agendas. Refer back to those few threads and you’d spot them pretty easily. Remember them well and know how much weight you’d place on their opinions in future.
Beagle and GFX all I wanted was an apology on how I was treated and like in the apology thread it shows lack of one. Still to this day none. And all "Mrs M" can say is I'm mad because of my weight - omg are we like in high school or something (Mrs M I've heard if it's true your nothing to look at either - so......) and that's why you kept me away from the other girls yet wanted me to sit in a car waiting for my appointments, I guess mrs M you think I'm the typical girl and care.... I don't I know I look good (stepped on a scale today and what do you know 145 nice lost 3 pounds! Now to eat something) all you can say is im envious or jealous and vindictive but again if that's the case would've put this business out there myself.... I can understand if it was because pimp Dre was treating me horrible, but like you said Mrs M; his baby sitter was late and two hours later he texts me I'm at room come now. When I told him I'm eating - he blew up my phone it was really embarrassing... My face took 3 days to blurr and the video no password. Guy was trying to do BBFS and no care on Pimp Dre's part, This isn't me being vindictive if it was I would've started it WAY before your "apology" I would've put y'all on blast, but instead of a woman being professional and calling to apologize you did THIS? What was the point of THIS? And all you can say in a rebuttals is I'm jealous I'm fat but no hard facts as to why I had to share room (oh yeah because in jealous and you didn't want me to see the other ladies) or why it took 3 days to blurr my face? Oh the safety if my life was on the line and again nothing - all you came back from was that I was fat and I'm mad. You've beated around this bush that people are not seeing what the real reason on what I want..... For you to actually call and apologize like a good BUSINESS woman should. Hear what happened then understand how silly you look dear.

And the stalking, why would he say that; I saw threw his BS very quickly on that and I did feel threatened. Like you said you weren't there - so be the bigger woman call me and just apologize. It's how I was treated that is question, and how he was acting WAS very Pimp like in my opinion; once again you "weren't there" and once again no apology.

So in the end all I got was jerked around, insulted (I don't care about my weight I weigh fine I was there for 2 hours for him at the Motel 6), then harassed after my employment, then threatened with my personal life - what place of employment cares if I go to church? And yes one scripture refence he did send but why, he gave no reason to me and all who've read it seems like he was trying to save face from the Pimp like threat I took it as.... I understand you have a business to run - but no reason to put my business on here (like I said if I was "vendictive" I would've done it already) now I guess what I'm waiting for is you to actually "be a woman" an call and apologize...... That's what I've BEEN waiting for.....


Oh and PS what was it that you said about lies being long winded and took forever to write? Yet I'm the one writing fiction when the "lady" who claim she wasn't there writes as though she has asurity of things that took place. Good job on yourself being the fictional one here.

Still waiting for my phone to ring.... And if you don't have my number you should you've been texting me on and off an yes inbox I cleaned out for you today.... Especially for you because this "145lb fat girl" had NO PMs (even though I did) and NO one wants me.... But I'll be here all day, please call at an appropriate time.

K thanks and like omg did you see her butt? (Kidding)

I don't know. I just find it a little peculiar that the "driver" has suddenly fallen of the face of the earth.

I have little doubt that there's more going on here than is being let on. From GFX trying to downplay this "driver's" role in all of this to his sudden termination just seems a little too convenient.

I don't know how much of the actual "office work" this "driver" actually did but in GFX initial statement, (apology thread), they state that this individual had been sending files to Katie; meaning, this individual was authorized *and had access to*, GFX'S database. Yet here, they highlight in red, (1), stating that Katie is lying when she claimed that this driver had it all up on his screen and was posting an ad for her. Mrs. M was supposedly on vacation and this guy was basically given the keys to the hen house.

She doesn't know one way or the other what actually went down other than what he's supposedly said. But here's a guy that's supposedly been with this outfit for a brief 2 months and his responsibilities go from being a driver to what I would say is a General Manager with accesd to their database

Upon Mrs. M's return from vacation, she discovers that he'd tracked Katie down on Facebook, sent her what Katie feels was a veiled threat, had a quickie with Katie, and was also seeing another one of GFX's providers.

And Mrs. M offers him an ultimatum? (Continue dating this provider or terminate his employ)???!

We're these indiscretions not egregous enough to immediately terminate his employ? I would thinck that they would be...but they offer an ultimatum and he chooses to continue seeing this provider? Okay..and now, they can't get in touch with him? Seriously?

Not even the provider can?? Nobody knows how to reach him? Is she no longer with GFX anymore, either?

And what about this Motel 6 and her having to share a room or whatever. Was that a lie too?



Why take the first shot with that apology thtead? That seems kind of sketchy for a former partner to do...especially if GFX did, in fact, wished to part ways with Katie. Seems that they'd want to keep things as quiet as possible with all the shit that their "driver" did...but to post that thread makes it seem like it was a preimtive strike and an attempt at damage control.

I don't know. Call me a skeptic but I find this a little too fishy.

Katie I will apologize to you when you admit to the community you never met anyone named Dre working with us, and you did in fact fabricate his involvement.

Sofa King, Nobody has any communication with that individual anymore not GFX, and not the provider. If you must know, he was a bum, and kept asking her for $. She wised up, and moved on. He denied the quickie with Katie, and the fact he looked her up on FB alone isn't grounds for termination. Had he said anything explicitly like, "I'm going to tell your MOM, or I'm going to "out" you to your church and family." Then yes it would be. Like I said previously, he was a bible thumper. The files he sent to her were the photos he took, and she requested. sent from his email not info@gfxmodels.com. Nobody has the keys to the kingdom, but Me "Mrs. M". As far as the Motel 6 goes, I checked on that date we were at the Double T. Hatt64 can verify.

Sofa does anything about Katie's story seem fishy to you? Or do you have tunnel vision?
I'm just making sure you are being objective and not subjective, because you got the hots for her that's all lol!
The apology thread: Had Katie not threatened to go public with this, then perhaps we would have handled things differently.
Like I said, we prefer the bad news come from us full-disclosure. I think a pubic apology would still have been appropriate, but without the details in that case.

By your own admission in your apology thread, you owe her the apology she seeks, and it should not be conditional upon her doing anything that could have been a consequence of your preemptive thread. ijs.....

GFx, certainly I'm being objective. I have never met Katie nor have I ever had any sort of communication with her. So please don't assume that I'm siding with her because I want to drop her laundry. LoL!

I'm just going off of what's been stated by both parties and was asking for clarification

But I'mma' have to agree with Beagle. This thing is more screwed up than a box of wire hangers. Best to simply agree to disagree apologize and put this behind you both.

Just a suggestion.

As Mrs M has stated she wasn't there so how does he know what he introduced himself as? If he state his name was King Richard I woul be arguing that.... But it seems Mrs M gives ultimatums an fake apologies whenever it seems fit.

Yes the last day I was supposed I work it was at a Motel 6 waiting for keys to a room I was to once again share a with another woman; when I text him on this Pimp Dre then said girl didn't have money on her card and everything was booked if I am allowed to put address I will, y'all then can verify if it was Motel 6 or not. I even stressed this more to him and he claimed that all hotels are booked because of the holiday BS. Even RW friend met me there because my car needed to be jumped and then took me for breakfast (that should just prove how long I waited) if not the front desk woman I asked for key that was either in my RW name or my sister (providers name) was a Motel 6 clerk.

My point is. If I was introduced by you GFX and you called yourself T-Pain I would be calling you that, I was introduced with that name and that name is the only one I was introduced in. I'm not going to lie just to satisfy your needs as you claimed you weren't supposedly there so how do you know what he called himself to me?

You obviously didn't know he was booking a hotel room at the Motel 6 because your claiming it was at another yet my address and SS and the meet with my RW friend will show how that's a lie... Now once again no apology but GFX is easy to give out excuses and make believes and ultimatums even to ex employees..... I'm just saying...

I couldn't care less about the details. It's basically Hooker Drama...

All I know is that I would NEVER refer a friend to GFX because I think the way they've done business, by their own admission, is extremely unprofessional and possibly dangerous.

That's enough for me.
