Fathem Entertainment was casting for a number of reality shows on behalf of a Los Angeles casting company called A-Line Media. A- Line used the castings as a database for any company producing a reality based show that was looking for talent for their show. This was a legitimate venture, and if they had read the paperwork handed to them at the casting, they would realize that it was stated that we were in no way affiliated with Bunim and Murray and/or MTV. As to the charges for casting, once again if they had read their paperwork they would realize that they were given an application to be filled out which could be sent in at any time free of charge. The fee was for the video which is regularly requested by the producers or casting companies for the reality shows. If the individual wanted to do their own tape, they could do so free of charge on their own and submit it along with the free application. The assumption that we were associated in any with MTV was because part of our appearances included talent from MTV related shows. We are sorry for any confusion, but of course we leave it up to the individual to read the paperwork before signing. That is not our responsibility. As to the allegations that addresses and phone numbers were fake, if you look at the records, you'll see that the numbers have been the same since well before these allegations.
