Nick Sabatino posts: Gene, I have been following the story regarding Mario, Craig Valentine and Portia and wanted to chime in.

This Mario is a piece of work. Despite numerous attempts to explain we had nothing to do with the shoot, he continued to send numerous email’s to me and every email address he could get his hands on, including Summer Haze’s PR Agent, a typical stalker move.

Also true to a stalker style, he continues to fabricate lies, has threatened to attend events where Craig’s wife was appearing, and is resorting to some desperate measures for what purpose? $50 and a DVD. What a joke! He claims he is an accomplished photographer – and he may be however who would want to do business with such a whiny little prick? I am sure many companies looking to produce content have made note never to contract this individual for any work whatsoever. I can definitely tell you that my list of clients will NEVER use him.

He also claims not to be a stalker so I took the liberty of looking up the definition of Stalking from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking

According to the site there are six types of stalkers, oddly enough this clown seems to fit into all of the categories:

* Rejected stalkers: pursue their victims in order to reverse, correct, or avenge a rejection (e.g. divorce, separation, termination).

* Resentful stalkers: pursue a vendetta because of a sense of grievance against the victims – motivated mainly by the desire to frighten and distress the victim.

* Intimacy seekers: The intimacy seeker seeks to establish an intimate, loving relationship with their victim. To them, the victim is a long sought-after soul mate, and they were meant to be together.

* Eroto-manic stalker: This stalker believes that the victim is in love with them. The erotomaniac reinterprets what their victim says and does to support the delusion, and is convinced that the imagined romance will eventually become a permanent union. They often target a celebrity or a person of a higher social status (though it is important to note, not all celebrity stalkers are erotomaniacs).

* Incompetent suitor: despite poor social/courting skills, possess a sense of entitlement to an intimate relationship with those who have attracted their amorous interest.

* Predatory stalker: spy on the victim in to prepare and plan an attack – usually sexual – on the victim.

I also want to give some advice to Lisa/Portia. It was mentioned that you were afraid of being blacklisted if you were to speak out. Let me tell you this, Mario may have some sort of spell/pimp power over you, may be promising you the moon and the stars however if you continue to believe his lies and fall for his empty promises you will not have to worry about being blacklisted by Craig– you simply will not be touched by any reputable producer. Trust me, no one wants to deal with potential problematic pain in the ass talent, they have other issues to worry about.

Craig is an experienced producer having shot hundreds of scenes for very successful companies. He has built a solid reputation in this industry and has never screwed anyone over. I pose this question to the folks reading this nonsense – does it all make sense to you that he would screw a guy over for $50.00? Why does he not file a lawsuit over this?

I look forward to the continuing saga!!!
