Complaint Review: RJ Adams acting coach "The Actors Workshop"

RJ Adams acting coach of The Actors Workshop asks the female students to practice without their bras on, one on one with him, tells them he has a part for them in his next movie, the movie never happens.

He invited me to audition through the internet.

The movie we all auditioned for was going to be called Studio Club. A story of past aspiring actresses from the 50's living in a place called Studio Club in Hollywood. In the movie, they were all supposed to walk around in their underwear, thats why R.J. Adams always asked us to rehearse topless, wearing just our bottoms.

I used to go to his class The Actors Workshop and almost every female there told me he asked her to practice either in the nude, or in their underwear, or topless and that they will get the lead in his next movie. Some girls even said that they were his girlfriend and they asked me if he did the same with me.

My experience with RJ Adams was far from respectful.

He asked me to do scenes in my underwear during my first meeting, then topless, and he asked another girl in the room to perform sexual acts on me, then continued by asking us to teach each other how to give him oral then asked us to have sex. - with him.

She was promised a lead in his film Studio Club, I was new.

She asked him about what his wife thinks of all this. He said his wife lets him do it. The girl was very surprised and it seemed that she was doing everything RJ Adams was telling her. I should have walked out.

Other girls complained about similar stories during class.

None of us got any role in his film.

I have decided to tell my story and report him, because I felt the way he treated that young girl in that room was awful, and even afterwards, in conversation with him, the way he spoke about her and the other girls was disrespectful. I immediately figured that none of these poor girls will get any role in his film and that everything was a con game.

I complained about him on an actors forum after someone recommended him. A few days later RJ Adams sent me a private email with just my username I used when I complained about him.

I felt threatened, as if: I better be quiet or else. How did he know it was me if I was posting on the forum anonymously?

If the other girls wont say anything because they are afraid, thats their right. My parents, family and friends already know the story, as I am very open to my parents. And in spite of them telling me to let it go, fearing that RJ Adams might hurt me, I have decided to ignore their advice and report this acting coach.
