Please help support five brave women fighting a 4+ year long legal battle against Derek Hay, their former talent agent and his agency, Direct Models, Inc. dba LA Direct Models. *click for legal jargon*

While they prevailed before the California Labor Commission, Hay and LA Direct have appealed, and have also appealed the almost $25,000 in discovery sanctions recently assessed against them.

These women’s battle to make the industry safer for all performers has cost them greatly. Out of fear for their personal safety, several have moved out of state. Some have left the industry altogether and the others have suffered damage to their careers. They have been brutally attacked in websites linked to Hay’s associates. 

These are not the only recent cases against Hay and Direct Models brought by performers: *see more* & *more*

In addition, Derek Hay, and his “friends” from The Luxury Companion, have been criminally charged with multiple counts of pimping, pandering and money laundering involving the five Does, and others. *read more*

All funds raised will go directly to the payment of the five Does’ mounting legal fees, with a small portion going to offset their living expenses and lost incomes.

Your support sends a powerful message that Hay’s and LA Direct’s conduct is unacceptable. Your contributions will help end the abuse of vulnerable performers throughout the industry.
