When i first started modeling i joined this site modelmayhem. It was going ok at first, then Tyler from the site, started to creep me out with random comments, messages and inappropriateness. I shrugged it off, wouldn't give him my number and when i wouldn't write him back about getting into adult works; shoots; video i found my page and my managers page deleted! I am one of numerous girls with the same story, i just wanted to get this out there!

It only take a few minutes reading their forums to understand the site is set up as a place for men to obtain sex from girls. There are also disturbing posts there often about shooting nudity with minors. The guy Tyler is involved with the ownership of an adult magazine that sells sexual toys and such. The advice given by the guys with cameras is absolutely opposite of the reality of the mainstream industry. Basically, it is a porn site and many of the models are actually just prostitutes who use the modeling as a cover for soliciting themselves out for sex.

That site was created as a direct ripoff attempt of www.AllModelZone.com which is very professional and well maintained by a staff of industry professionals.

Tyler's father was thrown off of AllModelZone.com for being unprofessional and rumor has it, creepy.

Tyler made this at the request of his father who owns numerous Adult porn toy stores in the Tampa area and Teeze magazing, as a way of finding models for his own PERSONAL use. ModelMayhem, is a total JOKE and a tool for perverts to find young women to prey upon.

MM is poorly constructed using a simple content management system that is widely exploited by hackers. Lastly, everyones email address is being sold to bulk email companies at $1 a piece which is the only way it sustains itself.

The so-called staff is nothing more than a small core group of pompous know-it-alls, who treat many of the members with disdain. The daily verbal bashings they receive are not only tasteless but contain racism, slander and libel all in one.

Many, many and many professionals that originally joined the site, LEFT and now it is merely a congregation of old men with cameras claiming to be photographers and many many girls who are out of shape, or not model material simply prostituting themselves for these men.

If I were a model or photographer, modelmayhem is a site I would NEVER be seen on. However, the OTHER ones are MUCH better and run and used by REAL professionals.

You state that you were a member of Model Mayhem and were one of the models on the site. Then you state that, "the models are actually just prostitutes".

What are we to conclude?

While there are some talented models and photographers on the site, it is for the most part, a joke. Stay out of the forums because that is where the real lunatics and non-talented hang out. Most notorious is offtopic where nutcases debate politics and talk sex allday. And then there are the guys and girls looking for dates. One chap, calls himself Bourne, actually landed himself a wife from the site. Gossip has it he went through 2 models before he found his mate on a third try.

It seems strange to read from other posters that Tyler and his dad are involved in the porn industry. It seems like they are anti-porn on the site, lots of individuals who post anything too risque get censored but Suicide Girls models are allowed to show their wares all over.

There are many complaints from photographers that many profiles of models are fake or that they belong to managers and agents. There is often a high rate of no-shows once you've finally booked a model from the site. Lots of chaps are moving to Craigslist to find models, or going the old-fashioned route of using agencies.

Hi Chuck,

The main reason they are anti-porn is they would lose their Google Ad revenue. Tyler's dad owns Teeze magazine as ONE sample. In addition he owns a Porn/Adult toy store in Tampa. Dunedin I think.

Also under many aliases, they run multiple pornographic businesses.

So while your concern is valid, this is the reason they appear to be anti-porn. 100% facade of falsety and ulterior motives.

The Model Mayhem web site is a total 100% insult to rue professional photography and modeling.

Anyone can clearly see that the site is very immature, very unprofessional and I can say from my personal experience that the site owner Tyler and Mods have more then a few screws loose and play favorites. There also there own worst enemy with banning people for senseless petite useless nothing just to feel powerful and possibly enjoy kick backs.

I can NOT stand MM or Tyler. Its like a todays Peeee weee's play house with peee weee herman.

Ever notice that MM is one of the only models / photographers web sites that host portfolio's and yet allows right clicking?

How corny and mysapce is that?
56 days ago by Justme [send email]
Ever notice that when a national news story about a scammer or raspiest is discovered that in almost every occurrence, he had a mysapce and model mayhem account. Most likely because the Mods who are part time free brown nosing nobody's trying to look and sound important are to busy and ignorant in dealing with such problem people. I would imagine there to busy in shout box chat rooms banning members for senseless nothings.

Model Mayhem is pretty conservative. They won't show tits on minors like I do on my site. Hey look everyone! Topless 16 year olds this way:

While MM has its problems, it certainly is not a site where people pretend to be models, but are really prostitutes...any chance people from OMP started all of this nonsense?
