I hired this guy as my publicist I paid him over allot of money when I asked about all the stuff he said would be finished by the date he told me it would be done, he just said it would take longer. Then when I asked again weeks later he flew into a rage and threatened me said if I ever said a bad thing about him or his company he ruin me, really acted unprofesional I should have sicked my Matercard company on this guy, but I was worried he would follow through with his threats. Turns out he has screwed lots of people over and I'm not the only one speaking out, stay away from this unstable won a be publicist. He is a scam! he also thinks he is a gangster I don't know if he is but he likes to act like he is and use it as a scare tactic. Again not very professional way to act when you are a supposed top Hollywood Publisist.

I noticed that there was a person who commented and stated that this was made up by a person who doesn't like Jonathan Hay. That information is false, and was probably written by Jonathan Hay. Me and my brother paid him and he disappearred. 

 

I just wanted to clear that up since this guy is a crook and manipulator.

man that is crazy you said all that stuff about that dude acting like he is posting this stuff on here but I know that michael barber the rapper use to be with jonathan hay but jonathan hay was the one doing all that stuff and most of that stuff was his idea. 

jonathan hay has been dissing people and lying and using fake names and aliases for years. I remember when I first met jonathan hay and he was dating that chick lucy diamonds this was like back in 2003 or 2004. I was living in Atlanta and Hay was living there in this apartment broke as heck man with him and another dude and lucy(real name jenny) and she was still underage and they had like 2 kids together and Hay was like 30 years old. 

That was when I first met Jonathan Hay, he was trying to push Lucy because they ahd 2 kids and like I said she was only like 17 and he was way over 30 which is messed up in general but he said her parents were cool with it. I don't know if they were though because later I heard he ended up getting in trouble for that stuff down in Texas. I guess Jonathan was lying about her parents knowing that he was 32 and their daughter was dating this guy right while she was a freshman in high school!

Anyway, when I met Jonathan he was selling interviews as the time magazine reporter Joe Klien and that became our little thing it was me and jonathan and lucy diamonds. We would charge people $500 to get an interview with Joe Klein we would tell them it was for Time Magazine and then put it up on this website that Jonathan owned called MyDailyJoe and tell people it was with Joe Klien. Jonathan even use to fake his voice like another person. It was funny. And shoot Jonathan Hay was like 500 pounds easy back then. Well, he was steadily putting it on, he was like 250 when I met him, but he quickly was jumping because all he did all day was sit on his laptop and troll websites for his girl and his own career. He had like 400 websites back then and admin passes to a few majors so he could post what he wants online. 

Then jonathan just started flipping out and he started dissing everybody. Like you said above this kid Barber did, but with way wacker music because Jonathan always wanted to be a rapper himself, if you look him up he was a rapper signed to a label back in the day and his rap name was Audio Stepchild. You can google it they had this fake song with Prince that they were trying to push as real back in Louisville Kentucky and then Atlanta where I met him.. He was hyping it up to telling everybody he had a song with Prince and this and that, but shoot he didn't even have a car at the time. It was funny because how can you have a song with a legend like Prince but no car? 

Plus the music was terrible. I think Jonathan Hay is the worst rapper I have ever heard and he was over 35 ten years ago so he is like 45 now and still trying to rap which is hilarious. His girl was terrible too, and he would tell her what to say like he had some sort of experience or something. 

So he just started making up lie after lie after lie. You can google a lot of them. He put the rihanna stuff out saying he broke her career, and she filed a cease and desist on him but she couldn't find him to have anybody serve him because he would put everything in fake names and of course in his baby moms name, Lucy Diamond. 

But him and Lucy Diamonds dissed everybody, they lied about stuff and said they had songs coming out with Michael Jakcson and 50 Cent and all this and it was like who and want? And it was crazy because I was right there with him watching him do this stuff!

So he had to move back to Louisville to live with his mom and dad after we couldn't sell Lucy Diamond to a label, and he took the kids and left Lucy out to dry. that's when I knew he was a snake. Left his own baby mother with over $5,000.00 in debt, took her kids, and then gave the kids to his mom to raise. A real scum bag type of person. 

But go ahead and google Lucy Diamonds 50 Cent or Michael Jackson and begin to laugh. Everything online written about Jonathan Hay was written by Jonathan Hay. He called me about 6 months ago acting like I wouldn't forget that $800 he owed me so he could move back in with his mom and dad and he said he had this new operation going with this rich dude Mike from charlotte. 

Sure enough about 3 months later I see his name start to service online and it was mostly the same sites putting him up but he had this guy mike paying for all thesse online sites thinking that is how he can stay relevant is by putting some more trash music and having this guy mike buy all these placements for him so he thinks he is doing it big in the music industry. 

But jon hay isn't even worth 2 cents for real. he still lives in Louisville, Kentucky in an apartment that his mom pays for in St. Matthews in Louisville. It's like $600 bucks for a 2 bedroom so he thinks he is balling out and he has a leased car now that he pays maybe $250 bucks for a month, but shoot with his mom paying his bills and taking care of his kids that is the least he should do. 

so it's funny you say this guy that was signed to jonathan hay was doing some okie dokie stuff because jonathan hay is the ultimate okie doke. He tried to diss kanye west to get attention. He has tried to diss everybody just google his name and lucy diamonds and more. He is a 45 year old guy that can't take care of his kids, his mom pays his bills, and he weighs close to 550 pounds which is sad. 

plus he tries SO HARD to be a rapper and failed so much harder. He was far and beyond the worst rapper I have ever heard. He was so bad that my dude Kevin asked him if he rapped after we had been clowning him for years and he said no. 

Kevin even asked him about his song with prince and he lied and said it wasn't him rapping as we played the song on the speakers.

Michael Barber alias Michael Bentley alias Catfish Hughes alias DJ Shoestring

All these ripoff reports are coming from one person and one person only and that's Michael Barber who uses aliases such as Michael Bentley, Catfish Hughes, DJ Shoestring and multitude of others. He's an obsessed stalker of Jonathan who is jealous of his career. He is extremley creepy and law enforcement is aware of him. He is psycho. 

Michael Bentley is desperate to be in the music industry. He wanted to be down with Jonathan and his JHP and SMH companies but wasn't allowed. So he did what any crazy, derragned, obsessed, jealous and disgruntled person does, he posts up false reviews on this site. All he wants is Jonathan's attention.

Michael Bentley runs a makeshift PR company and sports radio broadcast and claims he is an official member of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. He's not. He's a nobody. He has a bunch of websites that pooly made and desinged by him. I met Michael Bentley years ago in Florida outside of Full Sail Univeristy. He was using his real name at the time Michael Barber and he was a rapper. He was a DJ at a local strip bar, the same place where he met his wife Melissa Nunez who also uses a gang of aliases but now she just goes by her name Melissa Khaleesi Barber. I heard she was a nanny now. 

He actually stole my name idea of "Michael Bentley" and "Spin Doctor" but I don't care. He said years later, he didn't remeber but he does. Michael Barber has tried to diss everyone as a rapper for attention but it got him nowhere, Google him "Micheal Barber Rapper" it's hysterical. Nobody he dissed ever responded and it went nowhere. Just free PR sites that he put up. The funniest one is Danielle Fishel. He said he dated her and then tried to make it a public thing but it failed too. 

So after his failed rap career as Michael Barber, he tried to be a rap publicist named Michael Bentley. He's never had a major client or a credit to his name. He's failed as a publicist. As a publicist all he does is put you on the sites he creates himself. He also claims to be a DJ by the name of DJ Shoestring. Look at the DJ Shoestring mixtapes and you see "Michael Barber". No big exclusives, just a failed DJ career.

He now tries to be a sports broadcaster named Catfish Hughes. Catfish Hughes uses the same desperate for attention tactics that he tried as Michael Barber. He makes outrageous statements about sports figures but to no coverage by anyone in the media. Michael Bentley aka Catfish Hughes claims to be on all these radio stations but these radio stations don't even list his name on the site. His Through The Wire show doesn't get any views on YouTube or SoundCloud and the quality is crappy.  So now he's a failed sportsbroadcaster.
