I spoke to Dick Johnson [now there’s a porn name], owner of TripleXModelz.com, early this morning.
Johnson’s got problems with a couple of former employees who may be poaching his girls. That’s not the only thing. Turns out one of the former employees, John Forbush, was in violation of parole and Johnson blew the whistle on him for allegedly stealing company contracts.
According to Johnson, Forbush is now going back to prison for parole violation.
In the mean time, Forbush and another ex-Johnson employee, Marco Mirage, formed Hot Shot Modeling, www.hotshotmodeling.com
If you go to the site, it’s a shell with none of the links working. No models are to be found, and I left a message with Marco Mirage to call back. He hasn’t so, that’s why I held up reporting this story.
“These guys are telling people they’re licensed and bonded talent agents which they’re not,” says Johnson who quickly points out that TripleXModelz itself is a talent management company as opposed to an agency.
“They’re scamming girls telling them they’re in the mainstream industry and have connections to adult, that they can get them work in the adult business. I don’t know how many girls they have on their roster but they have no connections in this industry.”
“I had these guys working as recruiters. They worked for me for a few months,” Johnson explains.
“They don’t have any connections in this industry. Marco Mirage also says he’s a recruiter for Tyler Gunns cam studio. www.adultseminars.com/news/success-story-tyler-gunns.html”
“I fired John Forbush because I found him using one of my talent contracts. And he was using that to obtain cell phones, bank accounts, running FICA scores so I fired him for it.”
[Johnson says he knew Forbush was a parolee but figured everyone needs a second chance.]
“I talked to his parole officer and he’s going to jail today for all of this.”
Johnson currently reps Tori Sweet, Isabelle Caruso, Gloria March, Kida Knightly and Sofia Devine, claiming that Divine “survived” the fiasco of switching over to Mirage’s group then apparently discovering the error of her ways.
Johnson explains that he and Mirage were friends from Facebook and that Forbush answered an ad for recruiters.
“At the time I wasn’t doing any background checks,” Johnson admits.
“
A lot of this is my fault. I’m taking a lot of the responsibility. What I am concerned with are these guys saying they’re something that they’re not.”
