***Update: As of 2/7/2014 the PornNewsToday team was notified by Victim L. that she did receive her paycheck and she was able to cash it.
***Update: As of the evening of 2/7/2014 Corey of Ideal Image Models is claiming he didn’t speak with the PornNewsToday team at 11:55am PST on 2/6/2014 – see the bottom of the post for proof that either he or SOMEONE at the Ideal Image Models office did speak with Alexandra Mayers aka Monica Foster.
***Update: As of 2/10/2014 Jason Toler aka Tee Reel has informed Alexandra Mayers that he will be suing her. See the text messages at the end of this post.
As of February 5, 2014 a woman (who shall be referred to as “Victim L.“) contacted the PornNewsToday team in regards to licensed and bonded pornstar talent agency Ideal Image Management which is headed by Jason Toler aka Tee Reel.
Jason Toler aka Tee Reel of Ideal Image Management
Victim L. (who is very new to the pornographic industry) stated that she signed with Ideal Image Management Decemeber 11, 2013 and that she was booked as a model for 2 pornographic studios. Though she asked for a copy of her agency contract upon signing with the agency, it was not provided to her until approximately 2 weeks later. Victim L. primarily worked with an agent employed by Ideal Image Management by the name of Corey Carnes, who insured her that she would receive payment from the studios she worked for within one to two weeks (via a payroll system).
The 2nd porn studio Victim L. worked for on December 22, 2013 (the focus of this report), was Alicia Silver Productions (which has a history of unethical & unprofessional business practices as reported by RipOffReport.com). Victim L. was told she would be compensated $1,200 (minus a 15% agency fee) for the assignment and that the content she was booked for would be showcased on a website called AllOver30.com

The assignment for Alicia Silver Productions consisted of 8 photo sets, 3 solo videos and 1 boy/girl hardcore sex scene with male performer Dick Chibbles [which is an extensive amount of content considering what the PornNewsToday team views as a very low wage - Victim L. was kept on set for 13 hours].
The content was produced in a private home in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Condoms (protective barriers) were NOT made available to Victim L. for the boy/girl hardcore sex scene which is in direct violation of Cal-Osha regulations.
After 30 days Victim L. had not received payment from the Alicia Silver Productions assignment. Victim L. inquired with Ideal Image Management and Tee Reel directly as to when she would receive payment but she was consistently given the run around.
On January 9, 2013 Tee Reel sent a photograph of Victim L.’s check. As you can see below, though Victim L. was told she would be paid $1,200 (minus the 15% agency fee) for the Alicia Silver Productions assignment – the check is made out for $1,300. This is because unbeknownst to Victim L., Ideal Image Management pocketed an additional $100 on top of the 15% agency fee. Also note that the check is made out to Ideal Image Management rather than Victim L. (porn and entertainment industry agents work for their clients – not the reverse).

Due to Victim L.’s male friend being physically intimidated by Corey Carnes in the past when she’d attempted to pick up her check at an earlier date, Victim L. went to the Ideal Image Management office with a police escort to try to collect her payment on January 13, 2014. She was told that her payment still was not available at that time.

Victim L. spoke with the Los Angeles police department and was told that her dispute with Ideal Image Management is a civil matter. Victim L. has also contacted the Labor Commissioner’s office in regards to the matter and has submitted paperwork and various pieces of evidence in regards to this issue at her own expense.
In Victim L.’s initial email to the PornNewsToday team, she stated that though she had never been asked to escort by Ideal Image Management, she had heard from her peers that the agency books their talent for escorting (private prostitution assignments) regularly. Upon investigation, three pornstars currently represented by Ideal Image Management (Lana Violet, Emy Reyes & Victoria Rae Black) are actively available through the escort agency The Luxury Companion. In addition, pornstars Selma Sins and Nikki Next are affiliated with James Bartholet of Galaxy Publicity (a man who is known to work with active escorts).
Victim L. had not been offered any webcamming work by Ideal Image Management, however she was told by her peers that the agency owes money to several of the pornstars they represent for webcamming work. Furthermore Victim L. discovered that Ideal Image Management has several models posted on their website of which they no longer represent (Emily Benjamins, Madelyn Monroe & Savannah Camden).
As of February 5, 2014 when Victim L. contacted the PornNewsToday team, she still had not received a status update in regards to the payment she was owed. The PornNewsToday team decided to telephone Ideal Image Management the afternoon of February 6, 2014. Upon speaking with Corey Carnes, we were told that Victim L.’s check for $1,020 had been mailed on February 5, 2014 (over 30 days after the Alicia Silver Productions booking) and a USPS tracking number was provided. We were informed that the check was mailed to the address they had on file for Victim L.
Shortly after the PornNewsToday team contacted Victim L. with the status of her check and tracking number, Tee Reel of Ideal Image Management sent threatening text messages to Victim L. stating:
You received your check but be advised you are [in] violation of the non disclosure part of your contract and just opened your self up to a lawsuit for slander so see you in court soon.If you think I’m going to let you and your pimp tear down my company you are going to learn you made a very big mistake!Our contract is still legal and with you [Victim L.] – so all legal issues of slander will be directed at you – lied about myself and my company so we will be going into Arbitration Case in 30 days. Since you continue to lie and slander my company.
Victim L. (upon the advice of the PornNewsToday team) responded with the following:
I have been advised not to communicate with you further. Alexandra Mayers aka Monica Foster is my mediator. She can be reached at [phone number]. All further communication from you will be handled by her and/or her team. I am officially requesting that you cease communication with me immediately.
Victim L. has disclosed to the PornNewsToday team that upon the receipt of her check (which should be tomorrow – hopefully the check will be valid), she will be moving forward with her life outside of the Los Angeles porn industry. Victim L. has been extremely stressed and frightened by this situation and has fired Ideal Image Management as her agency. The PornNewsToday team has put Victim L. in contact with individuals and organizations who specialize in this type of situation and has submitted reports as to the details of Victim L’s experiences to the appropriate individuals and state agencies.
As of tonight, Tee Reel stated to Alexandra Mayers aka Monica Foster of the PornNewsToday team the following:
Are these the words you’d expect to hear from a professional business man, or someone attached to organized crime? You decide.

Who at the Ideal Image Management office spoke with Alexandra Mayers aka Monica Foster at 11:55am and provided her with the tracking number of Victim L.’s check & her mailing address? Corey is claiming it wasn’t him…

click to enlarge: take a look at what time this USPS tracking number was run through the USPS system.
click to enlarge – Record from the Skype account used to call Ideal Image Models at 11:55am PST
Upon request, saved texts and emails with time stamps can be provided to qualified parties to verify what time communication took place between Alexandra Mayers aka Monica Foster and Victim L.
Another interesting point, is that Victim L. also contacted Mike South of MikeSouth.com in regards to this issue. Prior to this article being posted, Mike South posted about the issue. Ari Bass aka Michael Whiteacre and Sean Tompkins of TheRealPornWikiLeaks contacted Jason Toler aka Tee Reel for his side of the story which countered that of Victim L.
It’s strange that Tee Reel was focused more so on Mike South in regards to details about the situation being brought to light rather than Alexandra Mayers aka Monica Foster of the PornNewsToday team – especially being that Corey (or someone in his office) spoke to Alexandra on the phone and provided the tracking number to her far earlier in the day than when Mike South received it.

Tee Reel claims to have been a licensed and bonded Talent Agent for 2 years now. Maybe Ari Bass aka Michael Whiteacre can help Tee Reel become a part of LATATA since that seems to be his objective. Afterall – is he really any better or worse than the other agents (for example: Derek Hay of LAdirect Models)?
