I am a retired model and dear fan of Mr. Raymond LaPietra. We go back 35 years to the beginning of his career as a modeling agent. He was also an agent for my cousin who went on to be a very successful model and later an agent herself. I read in the report about a model not showing up to an unpaid hair show. Hair shows were never paid events. He uses them to see how well an untrained but potential model does on stage. He fully discloses that it's an unpaid event as well. If your girlfriend didn't show up then she was never going to be hired for anything else. Plus, the agent still has to pay for the stylists time. He's completely legitimate and a fair and honest business man. When ny own daughter expressed an intetest in modeling, naturally I came to Ray. I was very pleased to see how well his business and his family (who are lovely and do exist) have grown. There isn't a better agent in the midwest!

Ray Lapietra is a good man whom I have worked with and been able to count on for various projects, all of which were set up as win-win situations, and were in no way exploitational of any of the well hired talent used for each project we have done in making music videos, producing podcasts, and event coordination. I am not some girl's boyfriend, rather- I have worked with the man and known him closely, if all too briefly, in his private life. I can personally attest to the sweet nature of his entire family, which is bound unbreakably with a strange force called love. Because people are often jealous of love and money, Ray can often be victimized by needless hate. He has no plastic surgery, nor requires models to have plastic surgery, nor shuns models who have had work done. He has fraternal and paternal instincts with everyone he works with, and is romantic with his own wife exclusively. Ray was in business for over 30 years when I met him, and he had much to be proud of for the accomplishments of that time, and spoke with a teenage enthusiasm about a better future that he was looking forward to. The only other report on this website, Ripoffreport.Com, is ill-motivated, biased, and inexcusable for it's hateful intention. Call Ray if you want the truth, he is always glad to tell it.

I am a victim of a false report that was submitted to RipOff Report on today's date. I can identify the person who maliciously filed this false report. This person is a competitor and is doing this to me for competitive and spiteful reasons. Absolutely everything stated in this report is false and the name given (Andrew) by this person filing the inaccurate report is a phony name.
I have been happily and honorably married for 32 years on May 15th, 2014, and this false report lies and says my marriage is fake (I have a marriage license to prove that my marriage IS NOT A FAKE). This false report accuses me of not being a host on an international radio program, but the truth is that I am indeed a host on an international radio station, which is heard in 200 countries and by millions of listeners.
I have not tried to sue the (Andrew--phony name) boyfriend's girlfriend and her friends, this was just is a bogus statement to try and create scenario to make up a false story about me. This person should know that I am going to now seek proper legal redress against them, even though this will be my first lawsuit within this context. I do not sue others and this person has lied on me, just to attempt to damage my good name and reputation. The legal system will be the best remedy on this situation and this person is going to be held accountable, no exceptions.
What this person does not realize yet, is that I am going to now hire an attorney, file a sopoena to get from RipOff Report, the IP address of the person who made this false report, and then have Google remove this false post from RipOff Report and the entire Google index system. I will then file a proper legal action against this person and seek and attain a court judgment against them and their assets and put a final stop to the terroristic actions that this person has done to me and so many others. I have compassion for the other persons that have had the very same thing done to them, by this same heartless individual. This person has gone too far and I am now going to put a final and permanent stop to them doing this to me or anyone else, ever again.
I ask RipOff Report to remove this false report now, while I promptly go about the effectivve legal procedures I have mentioned.
