Don't know why they picked a headline that buried the other big point of the article - "Mafia 'owned' pop stars"
This is a huge thing hugely related to the rest of the 'industry culture' being talked about.
- motohagiography 6y agoI remember reading about a scandal in the 90's or 00's fashion business where it came out the top modelling and talent agencies were in-effect used as escort agencies by super wealthy clients. The arts have always been seedy, but they have also always been a key path to social mobility, so it's kind of a story as old as time.
- netsharc 6y agoSame thing happens with cheerleaders of famous teams too.. (at least I remember an article where they were being forced to attend parties wearing little black dresses, with creepy old dudes in attendance).
- dpoochieni 6y agoNow what constitutes "forced" and I'm pretty sure there were lots of wannabe cheerleaders who would rather be in their place.
