Yeah I read this on Crazy Days and Nights ages ago. Pretty grim.

Who were the clients and the person involved with the logistics?
Weren't the backstreet boys a ring?

There are a ton of rumors about super models and such also doing escorting for rich people. But forcing them into this is on a whole other level. Hope she will tell the whole story so this can be investigated and people arrested if that comes out of it.

It's not all of them but it happens. It's fucking weird. Model agencies are so sketch.
Those boy bands that fat rich guy used to produce were basically sex rings. The guy from 98 degrees did an interview where he talked about it and said he was asked to give hand jobs.
Probably. I know the guy who brought n sync together was busted for sexual assault. I heard rumors from a guy on another forum about him. They seemed legit... but were still just second hand rumors.

In a perfect world, escorting should be different because it should be the person choosing to go into the escorting world (the world isn't perfect though, so I'd imagine some, if not many, are threatened with career repercussions), and she would at least be getting paid for what he or she is doing. This is basically just pimping out the women in the group for the sake of the advancement of the group (or the manager), with the women receiving nothing personally in return.

The wording in these tweets reads like someone in the manic phase of a psychotic episode. Its very distinct. Couple that with the relentless pace of her Twitter and retweeting her own tweets (??) and yeah.

Prostitution should be legal bit this is not that. This is sex trafficking and forced sex which is rape.
This is not what prostitution should be.

Exactly.
wait wait, back up. What's the dirt in the kpop industry?
I mean, I'm sure I can imagine, but....go on.
The kpop industry is really dark.
Here are some articles on the matter though one that I read a long time ago, that really got me reading up on this, I can't find. It was from a SK reporter who dug really deep into it, I really need to find that article.

Next time, on Sick Sad World.
What the hell, becoming famous really sucks for women when they have you do all kinds of shit for "fame".

I see Trump is not only clouding the judgement of people who support him, but also the people who don't.
Someone was ABUSED. There shouldn't be anything confusing about that. Trump's own wife could come out and say that he raped her, and the first reaction shouldn't be, "Well, she married him."
If Melania accused Trump of raping her, he'd be two for three!
This is the second time in this thread, someone has vaguely suggested she deserves to be abused, because she's a Trump supporter. Or, if not that, at the least the suggestion is that she doesn't deserve sympathy. This kind of tribalism is disgusting and dangerous.
There are networks or studios that would probably rather slit someone's throat than risk someone exposing any seedy wrong-doings.
Eh? He's not saying she deserves anything. He's saying it is odd that she publicly supports a self confessed sexual assaulter (and accused rapist).
Which is odd.
There's no hint of tribalism unless you think sexual assaulters are some kind of tribe.
I don't see any other possible purpose, in bringing up the connection. Any poster that thinks her support of Trump is relevant in this thread, must think it offers some insight as to how people should respond to her.
Because Trump has stated multiple times that he has sexual you assaulted people, not just the Billy Bush tape but multiple appearances on Stern and magazine interviews over the years.
She brought up Trump herself, in a positive fashion. If you don't find that weird then I'm not sure what to tell you.
Nah, you're right. Because I dislike a poster I defended stupid shit.
Yeah that dumb of me.

Sometimes I'm wondering why the real life event looks like the plot of a fucking movie.
I don't know about the other poster (I'm trying to find the first instance) but the one quoted was simply stating how weird that position is in this context, not victim blaming. The fact that we're in a deeply troubling atmosphere of exposure of this horror is genuinely upsetting. I hope some good comes of it and we don't just move on to the next news cycle.
The fact that Weinsteinwas allowed a sexual predator clause in his contract tells me that the industry is institutionally corrupt from top to bottom.
A lawyer should be disbarred for enabling that.
I don't find any of this to be relevant to this thread and I think it's weird that it's been brought up in this context.
I wrongly infered she brought up her Trump Fandom in this article/tweetstorm.

Context?
Rich Cronin from LFO talked about Lou Perlman on Howard Stern. Perlman was a creep who stole all their money.
LFO, O Street, N Sync, Backstreet Boys.
Cronin said Perlman was a creep on top of selling his publishing out from under him.
Well, for what it's worth, I think I did use the word "tribalism" incorrectly in my post. So, everyone makes mistakes!
Jesus.

Not surprised at the very least. I've heard stuff years ago and this is rather prevalent in "idol"-esq businesses, male or female.
Model industry also has this problem, more or less. But don't quote me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa ... Wait wait a fucking second -- I never even hinted at she deserved to be abused, where the hell did that come from? My point is that her thread is FULL of support for abusers and people who completely discounted the abused like Sean Hannity. No one deserves to be abused, and I take serious offense you would even suggest it.

Didn't a rumor or something of this sort come out years ago?

The well when it comes to horror stories in wrestling is really deep. Mostly because people tend to either get caught or you have people speaking out on it eventually. There was another much lesser known wrestler that did the same thing as Moolah. He went by the name Hardbody Harrison and he kept eight when captive as sex slaves. He was eventually caught and is now serving life in prison. You then have other stories of pedophilia, rape and even murder in wrestling. And there are quite a few stories for all of those.
Your post is completely irrelevant to this topic and I am skeptical of your motives, in bringing up her political views in this context. If you say that isn't what you meant, I will take your word for it, but it generally looks bad when you choose a thread where someone discloses being the victim of sexual assault to criticize them.

That would be my first reaction and I dont care if that makes me a bad person. You knew who that man was and you didnt care until it happened to you. Also hard to give a shit about someone who is against their own abuse but perfectly fine with others being abused.

From the first posts, I was hoping this was some kind of metaphor for being used for financial gains. Used as a star, as a singer.
This is disgusting.
I hope other members come forward as well. That this won't be let go.
Fuck the people behind this.
