My sourses of information

I just want people to know that all this information contained in this blog come from postings I have received, research that was done on the internet or personal experience. I have also posted several links to information that I have posted on this blog. I am not taking credit for writing any articles that I have posted unless I have written or posted them myself. This all started when I posted a request for information on Craig's List asking for information regarding Karon Shea Model Management, John Wood or Richard Bertone.

FYI I was informed that Karon Shea did work with the Easter Seals which is a great organization and a great cause!

Please note that this is not a personal attack on Karon Shea, John Wood, or Richard Bertone, but the way that business seems to be conducted, and it was mostly about John Wood WHO WORKED FOR KARON!

I WOULD REALY LIKE TO POST MORE POSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT KARON, JOHN OR RICHARD SO IF YOU HAVE THEM PLEASE SEND THEM. All POSTINGS WILL BE PUBLISHED AND NOT EDITED FOR CONTENT.

I WANT THIS TO BE AN UNBIASED BLOG BASED STRICTLY ON FACTS OR OPINIONS PRESENTED.

I will go one step Further and Invite Karon or another member of her staff to talk about the postings. That goes for Richard or John Wood as well and will post them so people can get fair and balanced information!

In fact if I do get any positive postings I will not personally comment on them. I will only post other peoples responses to those postings.

Thank you. PLEASE REMEMBER THE STATEMENTS MADE FORTH ARE OPINIONS AND BELIEVED TO BE TRUE, BY THE AUTHOR.

I think Karon is relatively a good person, I really think it was John Wood who tarnished her image. I have read every posting and I feel that you have been fair reporting on both sides, but it does not seem that people have anything good to say. I have read several postings requesting something positive about the her agency.So I have to wonder why more people wont speak up. She has been in buisnes it seems for many years, I think some people should have positive things to say. I think the only time most people speak up is when is when something bad happens or they have a bad experience. I think you have touched a nerve with people and now they are speaking up. Unfortunately in this industry , there are a lot of people being taken advantage of. I have seen numerous web sites on this subject however this one hits close to home for me. I live in Metro West. I would tell anybody to take what you read with a grain of salt on the internet and see for yourself. Be very careful when dealing with people in this industry. Unfortunately not all are honest. FYI Karon Shea Model Management does have a satisfactory record with the BBB. I Checked them out. Im so glad I am not in this industry any longer, and I only had a few brief encounters with this agency. If I was to say one thing to Karon Shea, I would say speak up and tell your side of the postings. If you don't speak up people will only read and hear what is posted.

I have 8 years experience with Karon Shea. I agree somewhat with what the last person said. I do believe that Karon herself is a relatively decent person but she allowed herself to fall into the scam John Wood was pandering. People need to remember that she benefited from this scam also and allowed it to continue thus making her just as guilty.
Just becasue someone stays in business for 25+ years does not mean that they are a good person or running a reputable business. It just means that they have not gotten caught yet. Look at the senators caught cheating or the officer from Holden who had been on the force for 10 or more years caught soliciting a minor. What do people say when these things are finally brought to light.....gee,,,"they seemed so nice", "I never would have thought that."
This has been coming. You can only pull a scam for sooo long before people catch on and it usually takes someone to speak up such as Marc has done.
We all have to learn to take responsibility for our actions. Karon knowingly allowed John to lie and con these people out of their money. That makes her culpable as well. If she cared she should have put a stop to it about 2 years and 7 months ago. But, she didn't because people do lots of dumb things for money.

I think that people should check tjis put if they think that Karon, John and Richard are innocent.

This is his site for photos. Check out Models 1 and Models 2. These are all of his and Karons models. ...take a look at some of these people. They clearly do not belong in the industry. Tell me they are not just taking the money!!!!! Every time I go on to look at my pictures and I look at the other people I realize just how scammed I was.
