Complaint Review: HYPEPRnow

 I just want to state that I had a negative experience as in February and March of 2016. I paid 2000 dollars for her services as I was told I would be booked for a Maxim "What a Beautiful Girl Wants” article. I was never booked for that article or anything else. I paid 2000 dollars for nothing.

 This ripofreport was written by a model that doesn’t give her name. Like the NFL if you don’t have what it takes your going to get cut. You can’t pay for looks to be a model. I referred kaila Methven to my agency Hype PR as a brand. I did her show and Victoria has booked my for Maxim Hot 100 Print July 2018 and many other covers and features. She is not a scam artist. Kailia Methven of Madame Methven knee Victoria booked me for endless features even Sports Illustrated. She hired Victoria to promote the brand. Kailia is not a model???? She is 40 years old and looks nothing like a model. She hired Victoria to promote her brand. Victoria booked my photos wearing her brand of lingerie for an amazing feature in GQ and Maxim. Kaila flipped out she wanted to be the cover girl and model. She had unrealistic expectations of yourself as a cover girl and is blaming my agent for her unrealistic goals. Your not a model Kailia your a rich spoiled woman who does a lot of coccaine and other drugs. Your paying false reports about a successful woman and mother of 3 successful children in college. Shame on you KFC Heiress Kaila Methven Madama Methven . We know you paid of photographers and fake magazines for features as you as a model. We all work hard and don’t pay for covers or features we earn them. Shame on you. Money can’t buy class which you don’t have http://madamemethven.com/ Loser, Biggest loser, stop thinking your a cover girl. Your not even close . A model with Hype PR

After coming across this recent posting on here, I have to respond. I owe it to other women so they don't make the same mistakes we did.

She scammed me, too. I actually caught on I was being scammed during the process, so I withheld my final payment to her, which i was doing until she could provide me with proof she had done anything on my behalf. She never did. Last email I received from her was that she was submitting and would be in touch with feedback. She went completely silent after and blocked me on Instagram and changed her handle. Not so bright, that one.

I am taking the $1,000 loss as a lesson learned. She can consider it my charity. She has to sleep with her concious at night with what she does to people and the deceit. In the beginning of working with her, she told me my pictures were amazing, etc, etc. We agreed on a payment retainer to be paid over the course of the 4 month contract. Her husband reached out to me for a bio and I wrote one and sent it back to him. He said he would be in touch for me to review it, and that was the last and only correspondence I had with him. I notice as time goes by she is pressuring me to complete the retainer, even though we agreed to it being done in payments. I touch base about how 2.5 months has gone by and nothing has happened and im just wondering. She gets super attitudey with me and tells me the same things I realize she has said to others who got scammed.... "Takes time" "your age" etc. Ok, fine, maybe that is true. So, I hesitantly listen to her advice to do another shoot and get new images. They are GREAT images (but my previous ones were pretty good too....). I do it, and she seems happy and like she will do work for me now. I still felt like something was off. If she didn't like my previous images enough, why not say that in the first place? Why did she wait 2.5 months..... What was she doing in the meantime....? She keeps pressuring me about money. But she shouldnt be because I technically had until the end of the contract to pay the balance. The final month rolls around and I owe her a final payment of $600, my boyfriend gets laid off from work, so I decide I am only paying another penny if she gets me something or proves to me in someway she did work on my behalf, because it just didn't feel right. I felt strongly she didn't really believe in my career and just wanted the money. Now i know it was true. Here's the thing: if it wasnt a scam, and if I just didn't have the right look or if the clients weren't interested--why not just communicate that instead of going silent and hiding?. Why take me on? Why take ANYONE on if you have your doubts.

She does have a few clients I see she has gotten legit press for. So I guess how she works is she does work for those who already have established followings and resumes, and are easy to book as a result, and then fishes for less established, vulnerable girls to scam in the process to keep the money coming in. I talked to girls recently that warned me, but I didnt believe I could have been right until coming across the documented complaints on her. All she did was make me smarter. I also have amazing pictures now that are getting interest from other industry people that want to genuinely assist me in my career. I feel truly sorry for this woman.   

Per my previous rebuttal of Victoria Bracie and Hype PR, the issue is resolved per a misunderstanding between parties.
