Leo Vs Cassidy Essence

After talking to Cassidy, 18 yo, Tuesday night, I ran into Leo at Porn Star Karaoke and got his side of things.

Leo Interview

Leo says the ID he gave Cassidy cost him about $500 and he wants it back.

Leo says he’s never laid a hand on a girl and never will.

He’s been in the industry for a decade. If he’d ever beat a woman, I would’ve heard about it.

Leo: “This is what I get for helping girls out. She was broke. She was afraid of not getting into clubs. I had a real ID. I said take this and see if it works. We’ll work out a payment plan.

“Needless to say, she told the lie that I gave it to her. She decides she wants to keep it. She’s cost me $500.”

“I thought I was doing her a favor and I got egg on my face.”

“I approached her at a club and she totally backpedaled and denied everything.”

Luke: “She claims she felt threatened.”

Leo: “I don’t beat girls. I don’t threaten girls. I don’t do any of that, no matter what she says. If I have a dispute with a girl, I’ll sit down with her agent. I called her agent Mark Spiegler several times. I have not threatened her. I have an email from her on XPeeps threatening to set people on me.”

Leo emails Cassidy Essence: “Have you lost your mind you stupid whore. I guess you’ve forgotten how you post on your myspace everytime you go to vegas. That’s funny what you say about your agent, considering we’ve been friends for, oh I don’t know, about 6 years. People are telling you what you want to hear because you’re just a dumb porn chick. You obviously can’t get any work cause you’re always on sexy jobs looking for work. Most everyone that knows you thinks you’re a chubby pig who has no brain. Anyone that you’ve talked to and said they don’t like me is either unimportant or is just telling you what you want to hear. My list of friends in important places in this industry can match up to anyones in this business. You’re just fooling yourself if you really believe that I’m that disliked in this business cause you’ve seen with your own eyes who I do business with and who I have on speed dial. Understand that you are merely B talent at best, your scenes are horrible, and you need to lose about 30lbs. Your choice of friends such as fugitives Jenni Hendrix and her felony fugitive boyfriend, definitely show what you’re all about. As for the ID, it’s not a fake you stupid ass cunt, it’s a real ID, and the only one that made of fool of themselves at that party was you, that’s why your stupid ass left so quick. So go get who you like and have them meet me anywhere, I’m sure, after you’ve fucked them you sloppy whore, we’ll just go catch a bite to eat and sit and laugh about your stupid ass! Fucking for free is all you got cause you know you’re not making any money. By the way, your first “secret” interracial will be out soon, so hopefully you haven’t been telling people you’ve never done it. Next time, learn to spell dumb ass.”

Before talking to Leo, I call Cassidy Tuesday night.

Luke: “Why is this guy on your case?”

Cassidy: “I was in the middle of changing agents. I had some complaints about my past agent. This Leo guy was on the hunt to meet me. I had already gotten with Mark Spiegler.

“Leo finally got a hold of me. I told him I was no longer interested in finding an agent. I was happy.

“Leo wanted to see me. Fine. He said I had a lot of potential. ‘I know this good publicist. You would work well together. Mike Moz.’

“I didn’t talk to Leo for six weeks because I was busy. A bunch of girls told me not to talk to Leo because he was crazy. He was bad news.

“I didn’t want to judge him from what everyone else said.

“I allowed him to come and get me one night. We went over to Stormy’s show. Her feature dancer thing. He gave me this ID of a girl who was 24.

“Six days later, he says, ‘I’m going to need the ID back.’

“The way he came at me was so rude. He called my agent and told him about the card. My agent said the guy is a douche bag. Don’t worry about him. Give him his card back and you’ll be fine.

“I didn’t try to see him. He’s nuts.

“I went to one of these dinner-club parties with Tony Batman and the owner of KSEX. Leo was there. I was avoiding him. I did not get into the parties on his ID. I got in by my own ID. I never once used his ID.

“I wanted to give it to him but I lost my cell phone and my myspace got deleted. I had no way of getting hold of him nor did I care to.

“He got a hold of me on Xpeeps and came after me with this crazy stuff. I told him he could have his ID back. Then he came off with that last email [above].

“At that dinner party, Leo came after me like he was going to hurt me. Tony Batman and TeeReel defended me.

“It’s gotten to the point where I am afraid to give him his ID back because I’m afraid to see him.”

Cassidy says she doesn’t do interracial. One time she made a long drive to a shoot and found she was expected to do interracial and she did it but she won’t do it again.

King posts: “He’s not “threatening” anyone, Luke. He’s just exercising his pimphand.”

Leo emails:

Luke, I was just checking out your site and ran across the Cassidy Essence interview you did with her and had to reply to about. I really found it funny that she says she allowed me to pick her up and that I supposedly was hunting for her. That’s funny, I simply did what most other agents in this business did, I found her on Sexy Jobs. I sent her an email, she sent one back. This continued for about 4 or 5 emails back and fourth until she asked to meet with me. She actually told me in the email that she had left number 1 models and proclaimed how they were douche bags, sound familiar? At that time she told me that she had just hooked up with Mark Speigler just that week. I let her know that Mark was definitely one of the most reputable agents in the business and one of the longest running. I also let her know that Mark was a personal friend and I had no desire to compete much less take a girl from him. I let her know that work is what she wanted, work and some of the best rates is what she would get with Mark. Still, she insisted to meet with me stating that she was not under contract and didn’t have to answer to anyone. “I want to be a star and more than just a dumb porn chick”, is what she stated at that time. She insisted on meeting, saying she had heard that I had connection to important people and could maybe help her with that. At that time, I suggested to her that what she might be looking for is a manager or a publicist. Those of you who know the business know that a manager and a publicist are different, for the most part, from an agent. She insisted to meet with me and talk it over. I agreed, but let her know that she needed to let Mark know what was going on.

Once we agreed on a date and time she assured me that she had spoken with Mark and that he had many good things to say about me. This would be a direct contradiction to what she is now saying.

Nevertheless, we did meet and had about an hour an a half discussion. At that time, I let her know that my advice to her was that I get her in touch with Mike Moz. He is one of the best publicist/managers in this business. Anyone who knows him knows his track record. The only reason I even agreed on that is because of the lengthy discussion we had about how she wanted to be something special and was willing to put in the work to make it happen. I don’t make a habit of calling important people in the industry and just presenting just anyone to them. I can provide an extensive list of important and very influential people in this industry who can back up my story. Basically, if I bring a girl to any of a number of producers, photographers, directors or publicist, they know that that girl is usually the real deal. Obviously, looking at this girl now, I missed with this one. No one is right all the time. Anyway, once I made the call to Mike and he agreed to see her, she disappeared for a good while. It was at least 2 months before I heard from her again, getting a general posting on my myspace page from her myspace page. I then sent her message asking how she was and if everything was good with her, wondering if she was going to give me the usual flaky porn chick excuses. Of course, I did. But she immediately apologized and started right in with, ” I’m really ready to take the next step”. So, I told her that I would give her one last shot and arranged a meeting with Mike at Spearmint Rhino, in Van Nuys. We went and met with Mike, and as a bonus, Wicked’s production manager was there attending the show. I quickly introduced her to him and he asked me to email him some pics. I said I would. Incidentally, I spoke with Moz about their meeting and didn’t really get a good vibe. Mike’s not the type of guy to just come right out and say anything negative about someone, but just the little he did say, I gathered that this girl would never rise above the porn B list at best.

It was that trip where the whole Id thing came about. Listening to her sob story about how she couldn’t pay her rent, and her agent was not doing his job, and she hadn’t worked in weeks. Haven’t we heard this before from many girls? First of all, I’ve never heard of any girl represented by Speigler complaining of not working, unless she was just a lazy bitch or a complete fuck up. After Jim South, Mark made the blueprint on how agencies should really be. That’s basically the blueprint that L.A. Direct followed, they just did it on a much bigger scale. Anyway, she went on and on about needing to get out and meet people and be seen so she could get more work and move to the next level. So then, as you I tried to help her with the getting into parties and events part. That’s what lead to the party where I confronted her. I never threatened her, touched her, or anything of that nature. I was demanding what she had back and she just kept backing up and making it bigger than what it was. Instead of coming up with it then and coming clean about the whole thing she made it seem like I was go to do something stupid. Get real, I don’t do things like that for one, and if I did, in front of hundreds of people, come on!

I know where she lives, and what she drives, do you think I’d go onto a public forum and address this with you if I was looking to do something to her, not even close. She is just looking for some publicity trying to get people to believe she is this poor Innocent scared little girl who’s got this big black man threatening her. Come on Luke, you know better than that. Shes just a lost little girl with a failing porn career and no education to fall back on. And since we’re on the subject of black men, she needs to tell the truth about the interracial scene she did. She did it because she was broke! Now she claims that Speigler told her it would ruin her career. That’s funny, don’t a good portion of his girls do interracial, if I’m not mistaken.

I apologize for writing such a long email Luke, but I had to bring up factual statements instead of sitting back and listen to this little girl lie. Check with some of the people who have dealt with her, the con census is that she is weird and strange, especially when she’s doing a scene. They also say that she needs to lose wait because she has somewhat of a dumpy body, cute face, but dumpy body to go along with her bad scenes.

Alright Luke, I’m done rambling. I’m sure you’ll take some pieces of this and put it on the site, go right ahead, I have nothing to hide.

In June, Leo emailed Cassidy:

Like I said earlier, I’ve already gotten rid of a few girls and I’m probably getting rid of a few more. I just don’t have the time to deal with girls who are only here to get a pay check and blow it all, then complain to me because there’s never enough work for them. Of course not, not when you blow every dime as soon as you get it. The one’s I already let go couldn’t even get up to go to their scenes because they were up all night partying and, or doing drugs. I’m interested in creating a new kind of agency that makes careers and not just money. There are so many avenues out there that girls can take to prolong their careers and create an income for the rest of their lives. I’d be glad to talk with you later today, however, it would be much later today because I’m playing baseball today. Something I love doing and should have been doing for a living but I made major mistakes when I was younger. That’s one of the reasons I want to help the talent in this industry make better decisions and create an actual career. I just can’t stand seeing girls make thousands of dollars and have nothing to show for it. So with that said, if you want and you’re not busy, I’ll be available a little later on tonight around 6ish if you want to meet up. My office is in sherman oaks, right across the street from Aim on Van Nuys. Get back to me and let me know. Leo
