Be aware of GODDESS EMPIRE, now in Las Vegas, NV
Goddess Empire, Eric Floyd and Wanda Dee (not real names)
Perpetrated many scams directed towards aspiring actors, actresses, musicians, producers, corporations, investors. Claim to be a self made millionaire and entertainment manager/producer.
Eric Floyd claims to be a well known actor/producer engaging in false productions that need your funding. Wanda Dee, acting as his wife and a singer who with Eric Floyd created a name for herself by becoming a guest singer with the group KLF, back in the 90's. Wanda Dee, with the help of her fast talking husband Eric Floyd, later stole the KLF name/brand and toured the world under the KLF name without the permission of the real KLF.
Eric Floyd perpetrates many scams. One of which, he, Eric Floyd acts as if he is a famous producer/actor who is this master acting coach with a Talent agency and management company. Eric obtains his students by placing ads in the craigslist publication/on line classifieds. Eric gives acting lessons out of his home located in Las Vegas, Nevada. He charges each person above $300.00 per month plus 200.00 per month to illegally receive the Breakdowns that are used by franchised, licensed agencies. Eric purchases the breakdowns from some other scam artist that is stealing them and selling them for possibly $20.00 per month.
Eric lures people into his home showing them many photos of him, his wife Wanda Dee and son Siameze with photo ops with many celebrities.
For many years Eric Floyd have lied his way into the hearts of people and into numerous photo ops with celebrities. Eric uses the photos to paint a picture of himself of a very well connected manager and producers. Eric is a very good talker, one of the best and has a pattern to his madness..
Eric continues to make big promises to all of his students and people that fall for his charm, that they will make a lot of money with him, that he will make his actors into big stars. They continue to hope and dream with him. They continue to get duped.
Once Eric Floyd has gained your trust, and have you brainwashed into believing in his strange cult-like beliefs, he then goes for your pockets even more by issuing out to many people investment letters, asking many to invest in his up and coming projects and states that they can double their money in 30 days. Eric Floyd creates a contract with these promises and convinces his students and many others to invest, only to never see their money again.
If anyone questions Eric Floyd's projects and ask about their money, Eric Floyd uses his gift of writing and bashing people to make the investor feel as if they are stupid and know nothing about real investments. Eric Floyd is a master at always making himself into the victim.
Eric Floyd and Wanda Dee, pretend to be some type of Goddesses. They dress in exotic clothing from other countries and are into a strange religion that teaches his students and friends that they should all engage in sex with one another. Eric Floyd claims to be an entertainment manager but will not work with you/talent unless he has a sexual relationship with his clients. He explain to them that there is nothing wrong with these type of relationships and that it will help him to launch their careers in the entertainment business. Everything is about sex. Their enviroment is very much like a cult. They watch you very closely, they do not want students to communicate with each other, all students must respect Eric Floyd as he is a God and Wanda Dee as she is a Goddess. Eric Floyd will have live in assistants that engage in sexual activity with him, his wife and son. The live in assistants are showered with gifts to bribe them and keep them believing that Eric Floyd will make them millionaires. The live in assistants become the servants and are ordered around like so. When the live in assistants begin to realize that they have been duped and brainwashed, he then kicks them out of his house, which he claims to own, and sends out massive emails in an attempt to destroy their name forever. Eric then searches for the next live in assistants. This is ongoing with Eric. Eric Floyd sends out emails/spam to many people each day to continue his manipulation. Eric Floyd, Wanda Dee and Siameze do not work, their entire being and existing is scamming people. That is their work and how they make their living.
Goddess Empire wants your soul, mind and body.
They want to pull you away from your family and friends.
They want your contacts if it will benefit them.
They pretend to care and love you so much, when in reality they just want to use you up.
Eric Floyd has numerous different scams that he is involved in that are not mentioned here. The list is very long.
Below is an example of his emails and letters of investments that he sends out to people. Eric Floyd is very good at this and has a strange way of manipulating your mind. It is truly scary!
Eric floyd fake letters. This is one he wrote and used his wife name, when people begain to question him.

Greetings Family:
We've done this once before quite $uccessfully this year (back in the Spring), and after several conversations with Eric, we've opted to do it once more for those of you trying to make ends meet and get ahead here in life, as you purse your own personal pursuits and passions.
As many of you well know, Eric and I will be launching several shows @ The Empire Ballroom as of December 26th and then more in January ('08) and finally my depiction of JOSEPHINE BAKER in 'Naked @ The Feast' will debut on Valentines Day (February 14).
With that being said, we are investing over $600,000. Of our own money into these amazing shows and with the PR starting on November 1st and the heavy Advertising, Marketing & Promotion starting on December 1st; you will hear, see and feel The Empire's presence on The Strip quite intensely and daily in the coming weeks leading up to our opening night. For those of you who know us, especially my husband, you'll know that he has a heart of pure gold and firmly believes that TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS EXPECTED... And so once again, after discussions with me, we have opened up the potentiality to ANY of you who would like to DOUBLE THEIR MONEY within (3) three weeks in a $afe, $ound investment with The Empire; now that additional corporate sponsorships are lining up to help finance the VH-1 reality TV show portion of one of our shows, in particular.
It's really very simple... Don't take out your life's savings, for Christsake, but if any of you have a little 'play' money you'd like to see DOUBLED within the next 21 days to help you and your family / household out for the upcoming holidays, to ride along with our $600,000. Then please, contact our assistant, Kitt and make an appointment to place your investment before Monday. And please keep in mind, Eric will GUARANTEE your return (most likely with OUR money)... LOL!
All we ask in return is a wonderful letter of appreciation when your cash has been returned to you and DOUBLED! That's it. Pay out should be no later than November 10th. Whether you're a first time investor or a world savvy Wall Street enthusiast, DOUBLING one's money in under 21 days is still absolutely, positively one of the greatest things you can do for yourself and portfolio; for the most savvy of investors know that making your money 'swiftly' make money FOR you, and return TO you in under a months time (while you sleep) are the BEST investments to make. It's a real simple premise... LAST IN / FIRST OUT.
And since you guys are coming in 'LAST', you get your money DOUBLED and returned, 'FIRST' and then you're OUT!
No hard sell. No headaches. No hassles. No heartaches.
You're either IN or your OUT. And we'll continue to love you just the same.
Good luck & Godspeed everybody and...
God (dess) with you always,

'sodom'
Good day my friend:
What if YOU had the chance to invest in some of the recent multi-billion dollar, mystic-themed, fantasy-tale, television/feature film franchise projects like Star Trek, Star Wars, Blade, The Matrix, Battlestar Galactica, Harry Potter, Lord Of The Rings, Narnia, Spider Man, Men In Black, The Fantastic Four, The X-Files, Heroes, Superman, Batman and so on... Think of the magnanimous residual income that these $uper $uccessful, international franchsise brands are making for both their creators & investors, each quarter? And some of them have been doing this for some 40 years (STAR TREK), 30 (STAR WARS) and with no shortage of (both) children and the ever-present 'child' in all of us (that NEVER truly dies), these types of television and film projects will continue to $urvive and thrive forevermore!
Well, TODAY on this lucky of luckiest days... 7/11 (07), I am giving you first rights of refusal to invest in the new sci-fi, supernatural weekly FOX-TV series (already scheduled to debut in February); 'SODOM'. Created by the prolifically dynamic, Yvette Araujo, and sold on concept alone (without even a pilot episode) to the likes of FOX (for the first run each week) and their sister station, The CW (will air the reruns) all commencing during the forthcoming & lucrative February (Sweeps) 2008.
FOX has already purchased and slotted 'SODOM' for 13 weeks, so this project is well beyond the 'speculative' stage; and I'm proud to say that not only has my company, Goddess Empire Management (GEM) had more actors cast in it (12) twelve in all (and counting) in key principal, co-starring, supporting & featured roles (including my wife, Wanda Dee as one of the Warrior Women who open up the entire series and my son, Siameze, as one of the leading Demons), but I myself, have also been cast in a principal role as a Priest.
The age old tale of Good vs. Evil from the fall of the ancient twin cities of 'SODOM & GOMORRAH' is being retold & resold TODAY, in modern day, with a host of characters who are either God's Angels or Satan's Demons (either in human form or still in their celestial guise), or just ordinary men & women, battling for dominion of the earth in The End Of Days. Like it's title would suggest, SODOM is provocative, controversial, compelling, passionate, erotic, exotic & hypnotically written, crafted & fashioned to appeal to the masses on a multi-cultural, multi-generational basis; which is reflective in the eclectic cast.
Creator, Yvette Araujo, could have sold the series directly to FOX and received a check each week with no creative control over the project, or she could have done what she HAS wisely done, maintained CONTROL of her vision by independently financing this project that will film in Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona & Nevada during the months of SEP, OCT & NOV (this year) in preparation for it's February debut. This way, she also will maintain the lions share of the revenues from this soon-to-be, middle American, Pop culture classic.
With passages, scenes & stories derived from all the holy books (The Torah, The Bible, The Holy Qur'an, The Book Of Buddhah, etc.) and placed in modern day scenarios; this is a project that everyone from the Atheist to the religious zealot to simply, the 'faithful' within our own country's bible belt and inner city outskirts, as well as around the globe, will all be able to tune in each week and see themselves, their own life experiences, religious doctrine & beliefs (or NON-beliefs) reflective in our characters each week.
And the streaming revenue sources will be derived from the following...
* First Run Weekly TV SERIES on FOX TELEVISION
* Reruns Airing on The CW
* Foreign / Overseas Television Sales
* Home Video / DVD Release
* 'SODOM' Merchandise (action figures, lunch boxes, etc.)
* Commercial / Corporate Endorsements
* 'SODOM: The Movie' (feature film project)
* Lucrative Television Syndication Participation (after the 100th episode)
Ms. Araujo would like to raise an additional $2,000, 000.in immediate investment capital before our commencement filming date in September to aid with the incredible 'special effects' that will be pertinent to the overall $uccess of this project. She is also willing to fly in to meet with you personally to speak on this amazing investment opportunity further. She will personally address all of your questions regarding return and continual financial interests in the 'SODOM' project and it's various multi-media components; although you can find further details on her RETURN PROPOSAL within the content of the attached 'SODOM' EPK.
Please read through the attached 'SODOM' EPK for further reference, and if you're at all interested in either putting up the entire $2MM and/or any portion of it thereof, please contact me ASAP in order to receive a hard copy 'SODOM' package and please give me both your thoughts and availability to meet with the shows creator, Yvette Araujo here in Las Vegas and/or via conference call to converse directly with her about your potential participation.
In closing, please make note that it was on this day, Wednesday, July 11 (7-11-07) that you were personally given the opportunity of a lifetime to financially participate in an epic multi-million dollar earning, multi-media, television / feature film / merchanidising franchise...'SODOM'. Thank you for the gift of your time, my friend... And I graciously await your reply.
God (dess) with you always,

Another letter by eric floyd. (fraud)
From: [email protected]
Subject: URGENT: ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!!
To:
Date: Monday, April 2, 10:49 AM
Good morning Family:
I'm so very glad that I've chosen to send this letter out to you all on April 2nd and NOT April Fool's Day (yesterday), for some of you would be silly enough to believe it to be a joke, but I assure you that it's not!
We here @ Goddess Empire came into this town a little over a year ago (Valentine's Day of 2006) and most of you have been a part of our lives in some capacity ever since. You have watched us strategically plant seeds and roots in this town over the past 14 months and watched us whether many a storms (of controversy, bullshit & mayhem) in the process, while still managing to both survive and thrive here; with many a projects that have begun to bare tremendous fruit for us. Truth be told... EXCELLENCE & INTEGRITY WILL ALWAYS RISE TO THE TOP OF ANY SCENARIO!
And we pride ourselves on that, as a family and an organization.
Like a gangbuster, amid all of the rumors, hearsay and conjecture, I've held myself out with my head on the chopping block against Tru Talent to get most of you that I met there (and then some) either full refunds, $ettlements and/or cancellations of your contracts with that erroneous agency, that I worked at for a little over a month (just long enough for God to introduce some of us to one another).
And your affiliations with The Empire have hopefully gotten ALL of you (at one time or another) a chance to enjoy the generosities and privileges of our association by way of excellent Drama Classes (that have increased your skill in some capacity), compiling of your promotional packages (photos, bio, demo reel web links), career counseling, showcases, professional advise and a myriad of FREE shows, movies, breakfasts, lunches, dinners & entree into feature films on the verge of being made right here in your home town.
In other words, we have each been a part of each other's solutions and NEVER each other's problems, as well as an Family should be. And from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of my whole entire family, I want to thank you, one and all, for that fact! You guys have hung in there with me/us and I/we have hung in there with all of you (albeit there have been a few fallen soldiers and casualties of war). Granted.
However, with that being said, I'm sure that ALL of you are more than aware of the unbridled excitement that me, Wanda & Siameze have been buzzing around with recently with the advent of the plethora of positive MAJOR projects we have coming up that will feature and benefit us all. Some you know about, such as our heavy involvement in the feature film projects...'STRIPPER', 'DANCE VEGAS' & 'THE BOUNCERS: AN OLD SCHOOL PARTY'; and then there are the one's that you don't (by our choice, as they're NOT yet ready to be announced, but will be shortly).
This past week and the one now upon us, in particular are being used to shore and firm up ALL of the aforementioned deals (both known and unknown to you), which is what postponed our L.A. Trip (giving some of you a chance to still get your demo reels together). Let's just say this... YOU'RE ALL IN FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE, 'CAUSE IT'S GONNA BE ONE HELLUVA GREAT YEAR, DEAR FAMILY!
Speaking to Wanda and Siameze in great length yesterday over breakfasts, as we are firm believers that TEAMWORK PREVENTS EXTREME WORK and TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED; knowing what we all here know is about to happen within this month of April for us as an organization, we are opening up an opportunity to you all to share and partake in it.
If you've ever trusted me before to be a man of honor and a man of my word, then please read these next words carefully, because LUCK IS WHEN OPPORTUNITY MEETS PREPARATION! For if you are prepared for this opportunity, you will then indeed, get 'LUCKY'.
I am offering ANY of you who want to DOUBLE THEIR MONEY within the next 30 days or less a chance to do so with this unique investment opportunity. It's that plain & simple. No matter how small or big the amount to be, as you all are in different economic places in your life right now... But with no pressure of any kind from me, as this is no hard sell, for these things that are now in the works will come to fruition WITH or WITHOUT your investment; I give you all the chance to participate and DOUBLE YOUR MONEY, because I love you and I'm a man who shares ALL of my good fortune with my family... For those of you who have not yet figured that out about me.
Do onto others, as you would have done onto you!
Again, no hard sell... No sales pitch... Just plain & simple business... Whatever you put in, will be DOUBLED within 30 days... Guaranteed. Now you can take your chances at the slots or card tables at the casino, or you can put it here, along with your faith in God, me and this organization, and watch it DOUBLE & RETURN TO YOU.
The only condition is that when your cash is doled out to you, that those of you who participated, tell all those who did not at our next drama class, HOW MUCH YOU PUT IN, HOW MUCH CAME BACK & HOW FAST IT CAME BACK... DOUBLED! That's all I ask. Just share your testimony with the rest of The Fam.
In closing, please know that I'm a man of not just DREAMS, but of DREAMS THAT HAVE COME TRUE... Every great success in my life (my money, my family, my wife, my homes, my artists, my business, my good name, etc.) all started off as a dream placed in my heart by our loving God, and traveled then to my head for planning and then to my fingers for grasping. I'm a G.I.D. Man. For as much as l may like to talk, I know how to get up and
Get It Done!
So here's your ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY. If you want to participate, please contact me ASAP and know that you deadline is only between TODAY and APRIL 6th (this Friday). They say that the softest pillow at night is a clear conscience, and I sleep good every night knowing that each day, I GIVE PEOPLE MORE THAN WHAT THEY EXPECT FROM ME IN ALL THINGS THAT I DO FOR THEM... I will go above and beyond the call of duty with my own money, but moreso, with my time, for that is the most precious gift of all that any of us have to share with one another.
And I thank you, one and all, for the gift of yours today in reading this long email from me. Whatever decision you make is alright, we're Family for life, regardless. I'm out at meetings all day and reachable on my cell, I'll see my advanced students tonight and my new students on Wednesday's... All of you @ 6PM.
God (dess) with you always,

WHAT THE F*K IS WRONG WITH SOME OF YOU PEOPLE???
Enough is enough!
TODAY is the day where it all ends - all of these lies, hearsay, b*t and conjectures, will come to a ceremonious close... TODAY!!! I have had it with this s*t, and those of you who choose to continuously come for me and my family with questions and accusations about things that are, first of all, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, and secondly, that are completely without merit or fact, can kiss my ass!!!
So - before I do one more f*g thing on this day - I will address this ridiculous issue FOR THE LAST TIME as once again it is something that was just unceremoniously brought to my attention... MY CREDIBILITY! As if I haven't done enough for everyone outside of my household even to my own detriment at times. As if my intentions have been of ill will towards anyone of you. As if I'm a con man and I'm just trying to ride on the backs of all you new comers and just trying to f* you all with out lubrication with my business deals, drama classes and my 'non-existent company'. F*K YOU! I'm so disgusted with some of you people that can't even remotely express an attitude of gratitude - an iota of humility and understanding in my, Siameze or Wanda's regard.
My credibility has been brought into question by yet another couple of amatures, who are currently involved in some business dealings with me, and who remain evidently close to another ass hole in my class, which in of itself, is fine if it wasn't the blind leading the blind. And it still means that all the smiles, laughter and close personal talks that I have had with some of you and the sincere interests I've taken in helping you to develop your career (s), have been meaningless; as it is obvious that you don't have the guts, dexterity or fortitude, to tell me what you really think of me and my family to my face since you have so much s*t to say behind our backs. This is ridiculous — hysteria, panic and complete paranoia are now taking the place of FACTS!
Yes, I understand that ALL of you, in comparison to me, are new comers, who haven't even remotely scratched the surface as to what it takes to DO or BE in Show Business - all that it entails and how to conduct yourselves in it, as it's obvious you're still wet behind the ears. I can't fault you for that, as everyone has to start somewhere, including myself @ just 4 years old. But, you will listen to any and every thing people have to say because you're too easily impressionable when it comes to GODDESS EMPIRE or MOST things. I have a hard enough time still getting some of you to even focus on an artistic level in my class and be professional in that respect, so how stupid do I feel for thinking that some of you have the maturity level to conduct yourselves otherwise, in a more professional arena & circles.
When it comes to big international business, you're YOUNG... All of you, so I can't expect you to understand me, when you've never done what I have done. But that YOUTH can be a problem, as indeed, my late Mother always said that 'if you play with a puppy they will lick you in the mouth'. No one has any patience anymore... I keep being reminded DAILY that I'm dealing with the MTV / MICROWAVE / INSTANT OATMEAL / TEXT MESSAGING / IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION GENERATION. I'm too old for this shit. I do my best to treat all of you with the respect and admiration, that I most certainly want in return, and give you the benefit of the doubt that you will grow out of your childish ways and know when enough is enough - what to say - when to say it - how to say it - what to take in - what to filter out - and who to say it to! But alas, some of you, still don't get it!
for you bucket headed, pea brains that can't seem to f*ng understand - the reason a producer is paid so handsomely for what he/she does, is because the arduous task of micro-managing the amalgamation (compilation) of every key element and aspect of a project falls on their (either) capable or ill equipped shoulders! So for those of you who want to remotely get an attitude with me cause I'm not calling you back in a timely manner or you assume I'm avoiding your calls - you can suck my balls!
I have been in this business too long to be stressed out by a bunch of YOUNG KNOW IT ALLS - WHO KNOW ALOT ABOUT NOTHING!!! None of you... And I mean none of you, can tell me anything or dare question the validity of my tactics, as indeed last time I checked not one of you have produced a single show that has ever produced any revenue, as well as excited the hearts and minds of the masses of millions that me and my family have entertained now for more than 30 years (38 for me, to be exact, if I may).
But please don't take my word for it, for obviously, 'some' of you guys have concluded within yourselves and hearts that you can indeed do better and that my way of doing things is wrong or too slow. I welcome that cause it will give me more time to do what I have to do for ME and MY family. That only being my son, Siameze and my wife, Wanda; people that I know truly love - respect and believe in me both personally and professionally, and would never betray, backstab or belittle me in any way, shape or form. Anyone outside of that circle is suspect and will be dealt with, with a long handled spoon, as indeed I am not only being misused and misjudged by some, but once again the nonsensical allegations levied against me recently, are erroneous (at best) and criminally insane (at worst)!
I have been accused (this go round) of NOT even existing as a company in any state of the U.S., even though Goddess Empire has been incorporated since 1991 in (2) two different states -AND - my LLC is registered here in the state of Nevada since '07 -AND - the (4) four fat ass corporate books that are emblazoned in my office trophy shelf (next time you're at Drama Class, check it out) are big enough for Stevie Wonder to see. I have also been accused of NOT even mounting my shows here in Vegas, just because things haven't fallen into place on the exact projected dates and times as we all had anticipated. SO!
Do any of you even have a remote clue as to just the stuff on the surface that must be done to mount a full scale production, never mind the (6) six that I'm mounting all at once. EVERYTHING from initial up front seed monies, additional investment funds, legal fees, trademarks, copyrights, artist fees, set design, lighting, sound, insurance, R/T air, ground, hotel, meals/catering, sponsorships, merchandise manufacturing, promotion, publicity, PR, press, production, marketing, advertising, dancers, singers, actors, chart arrangements, venue lease/location, etc., etc., etc. I cannot remember when was the last time that ANY Producer was able to open a show and/or start filming on a project at the exact initial time and date that they originally set. It doesn't happen that way people... So get off my back!
Show Business in of itself is the 'Hurry Up & Wait Game'. That's showbiz rule #4... And the real pros in this business both understand & overstand that... And if you think you're one of the real pros in this business, then you'd also automatically know what showbiz rules #1,2 & 3 are. Send me an email with what they are, and I'll tell if you if you're right!
Producing ANYTHING... Is like trying to predict the weather (at best) or lasso a tornado (at worst); because of the myriad of unpredictable and intangible elements that change the complexion, tone & timing of a deal from one minute to the next. This is NOT a f*ing business for the faint of heart, the insecure or the fear-filled... As 'scared money don't make no money!' This is a business for warriors... Champions... And visionaries... For at times, even when those closest to you have lost all faith IN you, you'll have to keep yourself fired up so that you can reach your goals! Patience is a virtue! I realize this is truly my test because indeed, many of you have smiled in my face and then stabbed me in the back - and I'm here to tell you and point the way (drawing you a map if needed) that all of you naysayers and Hatorade drinkers, can go to hell!!!
Lessons are repeated until they are learned and damn it - its different players but the same f*ing game. The same ignorant ass, piss ant individuals, in a different pair of pants. As once again my validity and credibility are being questioned without just cause. But just BE - CAUSE you people feel me and my whole family are an open book and that you have the right to just pick me/us apart at your leisure when you so see fit to do so, page by page; it is a clear case that familiarity breeds contempt.
For those of you who've been with me for the full (2) two years I've been here in Vegas, haven't we already been through this 'Eric Fraud' shit before by the hands of the unscrupulous Mormon executives down at Tru Talent, who tried to discredit me, only to have me not only completely take them down to their knees, but I am still the ONLY person in this town to have ever gotten full refunds & debt clearances for over a dozen students there that were defrauded out of their money. Some of you reading this have witnessed me pay LaShawn Renfro's rent two months in a row, saving her and her family from eviction... Pull out over $100,000.in cash into a bag and refund ALL of my students that were straddling the fence about their feelings towards me, while also dropping some necessary 'tips' around town... Fully financed the 'SODOM' call back trip to Denver, Colorado for at least a half dozen students (who ALL got cast by the way) complete with R/T air, hotel, ground & meals for 3-fun filled days... From FREE photo sessions to movies, shows, bowling night out, drama classes/thresholds, clothing shopping sprees, car notes, insurances, house payments, fun money, Christmas coins for someone's daughter that I never even met, medical fees for emergency STD treatments (oh please don't get me started), bio's written, resume's revamped, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, jewelry, and so on... I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ALL OF YOU! Who does that in this town, with strangers? Who does that, anywhere... Ugh, maybe Oprah! And this is the thanks I get!? MY CREDIBILITY IS IN QUESTION?
I have been accused of everything from NOT even knowing Floyd Mayweather and/or having contact with his camp to NOT even being in touch with The Empire Ballroom to NOT ever owning a legitimate company in ANY state I've lived in and so on and so on and so on. All absolutely, categorically and unequivocally WRONG!
PEOPLE, I know first hand, that the only thing more destructive & predictable than Mother Nature is Human Nature, and that (2) two ignorant folks together expressing 'fears' disguised as 'concern' or 'due diligence', will create a panic filled hysteria that is based on nothing but their own personal shortcomings in life. And just because a false tale is told over and over several times, does NOT make it any more TRUE!
I have been completely transparent with MOST of you, that deserve and/or are entitled to the truth... And I've been unabashedly generous to EVERYONE reading this letter in too many ways to count. And NOT a single person reading this letter is exempt from one of more of the aforementioned generosities that me and my family have provided (above & beyond the call of duty) through GODDESS EMPIRE; at one time or another and/or in one form or another. And many of you reading this letter now, actually still personally owe me and my family money. And don't even get me started on Drama Class payments.
But yet of course when the tables are deliberately turned and we call you for money, or anything for that matter - we have to hunt you down only to get on the phone and have to argue back and forth over what is owed for services that I provide to all of you. All of a sudden no one can be reached, no one has the ability to pay but yet I hear about new cars being purchased, how you went out and drank the night before, these new designer bags and jeans, and all of this extra curricular activity but yet you want to 'nickel and dime' me down on MY money that I've rightfully earned and then tell me how absurd it is that I'm asking YOU for it? HA! But yet some of you have no problem coming to me for personal loans whenever it so suits you to do so! F* that!
And speaking of 'nickel and dime'... That was something else just last week that one of you had the audacity to tell my son & wife that we were doing with YOU, simply because it was time to pay for Drama Classes, and unlike Sprint, we don't have 'rollover days'. You Pay To Play, period! And if you don't show up for a class that you've paid for in advance, then like college, that's your fault and responsibility or irresponsibility, either way. But I can't be held at fault for it, nor will you create the accounting nightmare for me and my family to try and keep up with all of the ensuing brouhaha that follows complex remunerations like that! Just be a pro. Pay for your classes up front, show the hell up ON TIME and take your craft seriously. And this person that accused me of 'nickel & dimming' them, is someone who's ass I personally covered in Denver, Colorado when they fell financially short; and I have NEVER been reimbursed for those monies, nor have I ever asked for it back; so they were completely out of line here and should be ashamed of themselves for even allowing those words to roll off of their double breasted, shit stained, Vaseline lips!
And in knowing this, I am completely ashamed of those of you who would willfully choose to participate in this bullshit - this mass hysteria about my credibility. If I am this 'con man' that I've been accused (by some) of being, then I'm still the only con man whose ONLY victim is continuously himself and his family... For WE do most of the giving to others, far more than we TAKE! I suggest you do better research on me and get over yourselves!
When any one invests in any company, the first thing they should know firsthand is WHO is running it... And what is the $uccess track record of that CEO. And for the record, this CEO here is as relentless as they come... And those that know me know that I will NOT stop until my goals are met! I will NOT take NO for answer... And although things may sometime take a little longer than originally projected, as it often does in Show Business, sooner or later, they do get done! So, I'm fully aware that any one that invests with Goddess Empire is really putting their money ON and IN me, and their trust, faith and belief in ME! I do not have to be baby sat - constantly hounded about money. As my head is on the chopping block as well more so then any of you, truth be told. Because not only is way more of MY OWN MONEY on the line to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but I also am the only CEO that personally guarantees a return to ANY of my investors!
Sure, I like you people - but I love ME, more; and damn it, I don't like to lose!!! When you invest your money with me or any one, I don't need anything else from you, but that. Do not invest your f*ing FEAR into me (False Evidence Appearing Real). Because you can save that shit.invest the money that you can SPARE without getting into the hole - we sign the necessary paper work - you shut the f* up until I reach out to you on the date agreed in which monies will be rendered back to you with interest - don't come to my house unannounced, as you will not like the reaction and don't blow up my f*in phone... Cell or Office with bullshit. Would you do that with Merril Lynch... Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter... Wells Fargo... E.F. Hutton... And / or any other investment firm that you've got a portfolio with? Of course not. And those mother-f*a's DON'T guarantee your money at all... So if they lose it, YOU LOSE IT!
ALL... I REPEAT - ALL of our investors have always turned a profit, for I always PERSONALLY GUARANTEE them! Period!
That statement stands alone for a reason... Because it's actual and factual!
Someone rather wise, just told me today that it's like building a house. You hire the very best contractor / construction company you can find, and even though they tell you their professional projections of when the work will be done by, the moment you break ground to lay the foundation, there are a myriad of unknown / unforeseen variables that can take place and delay the completion of any project. And this has NOTHING to do with the skill or experience of the Contractor... Sh*t, this is just the nature of the beast, my friends.
FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT, Me, Siameze, and Wanda - have made ourselves TOO accessible to all of you, conducting classes in our home, taking calls from most of you daily, sob stories, almost everyone has their hand out for something... Some 'dream' that needs planting, nurturing, harvesting, etc... But God forbid that any one of you would just call to see how I'm doing or how the families doing, or the FEW times SOME of you have made half hearted attempts at this, the real reason for the call always leaks out and rises back to the surface of the conversation, by the end of it, just like shit rises in the toilet bowl... As you (either) want to know what is being done for YOU...'SODOM'... The shows... Money... F*K!
Hell, almost a month ago, one of my former students, who I PERSONALLY invested a lot of time and money into, only for this person to NEVER once keep their word to me and the Sodom Executive Producer, my partner, Yvette Araujo, about what they were going to do to prep Artistically, Physically & Mentally for both their dramatic studies and for a major role in the TV series; had the audacity, after NOT contacting me for almost (6) six straight months (October of '07), to just call me up in February '08 and after painfully pretending that they gave a damn about me and my day, proceeded to ask me for RENT money for their cancer stricken girlfriend who was facing an eviction THE NEXT DAY! A woman I've never even met!? All for the sake of keeping her from moving to California and thus, saving their relationship (like I could I give a sh*t)!? Can you believe this shit! I just stared at the phone with shock, horror and amazement, as I gave them exactly what they gave me for months, FALSE HOPE that I'd get back with them and come through for them, as they've done with me on several occasions, much to my disappointment. But what kind of gall, balls and nerve does someone have in them, to do some callous, disingenuous shit like that!?
Its like SOME of you people just take us for granted and what we do. Or you assume we sit around and jerk our d*ks and slap p*sies all day long and live the good life without a care. Like we are made of f*kin' steel, money & magic!!! The most current scenario attributing to that being the cat ordeal. Not only did some of you not acknowledge Khira (the family cat) dying but then in class knowing damn well how crushed Siameze was over it, you rub it in and on that day decide to do a scene about cats and getting run over and all this bs? Did anyone think to even give the guy an extra hug or to even do a follow up call to see if he was okay from the obvious hurt he had endured from that class? F* NO! He couldn't even finish class that day, to those of you who were there and remember him leaving the room, a complete wreck. And that's why WE are careful as to who we call a FRIEND because true friends if they knowingly hurt someone that they love and respect, then they go out of their way to make it right and show that they at least care rather then the attitude of 'He'll be okay - He'll get over it'.
I can't count how many dinners and lunch's we have hosted. But has anyone ever thought to bring anything over (without being asked to do so) -OR - ask if we need anything just for the sake of asking? How many of you have ever just invited us out to dinner? Or to your homes for a meal, for a change? And I've always taught my son, if someone shows you who they are, believe them. And Siameze, Wanda and myself have all taken note on the actions or lack thereof, from ALL of you. So when the day of reckoning comes and we start pruning folks off of us we know exactly who to cut out. So don't be surprised, please... For that day is close at hand.
And for those of you who feel that Siameze or Wanda, though they are cordial yet they keep a distance from SOME of you or don't really trust you... Please know that its because... They don't. Where we come from, TRUST is something that must be earned and too many times to count on both individual and collective situations, we been stabbed in the back by so called 'trustworthy' people no matter how big the smile - how glorious the admiration - how warm the hug. And the Born Again Christian, Church Going Folks are, by far, the worst!
So they are too not quick to let their guard down with ANYONE, nor do I blame them. I can't say its nothing personal because it is. It's Personal and Professional. Because TRUST & LOYALTY fit in both categories. LOYALTY makes you the most beautiful person in the world, just as it's opposite, DISLOYALTY makes you the ugliest person in the world. A loyal/trustworthy mentally retarded troll that got run over by a spiked wheel in both forward and reverse is still far more attractive then someone who's physically drop dead gorgeous, but yet untrustworthy, disloyal & self centered.
On another note, coming to my house is a luxury that many of you take for granted. I don't even go to many / any of your houses. I don't even really know where most of you live and yet you not only know where I live, but whenever it suits SOME of you, too many times to count, and at different times, SOME of you have had the audacity to come to my house unannounced.
Not cool! Not smart! Not safe!
My wife has sold over 25 million records and is an internationally renowned sex symbol and we've dealt with stalkers (mentally unhinged by her image) in the 80's, 90's and on up to today, which is why we chose to live all the way out here in 'Africa'; and we don't take too kindly to ANYONE just showing up at our door. Doesn't any one look up to see the camera above my front door entrance way, recording your arrival @ The Empire? We have a long standing policy, we don't even answer the door if someone rings the bell or knocks on it and they were not expected... Don't even acknowledge it. And I could be directly right on the other side of it, getting a blow job with my naked black ass pressed up against it's stained glass fixtures, and I wouldn't acknowledge it... Because YOU WERE NOT EXPECTED! We've dealt with more than our fair share of Mormons, Muslims, Moslems, Jehovah's Witnesses, Community Activists, Girl Scouts & Avon Ladies to last us a lifetime, and could give two shits! Our home, like yours, is our haven... And place of restoration, rejuvenation and revitalization!
Don't call my house and NOT leave a message and expect me to come home from a hard days work and scroll through my phone to discover your number and call you back to see what it is that you wanted... I'm way too busy for those games and as a grown ass man, I don't have time for that shit!
This whole drama class thing and you people knowing where I live and coming to my house on the regular and being able to talk to me wherever whenever has 'spoiled' things between most of us. For now when I'm NOT readily available or reachable by phone and/or I'm NOT able to get back to certain people in a timely enough manner for them, I've been accused of 'avoiding their calls', when I'm simply taking care of business in the largest series of transactions of my life here in Vegas... Even respect that on a Monday or Tuesday, before my 3 hour classes with YOU, I've already been up working since 5:30 AM (some 12 hours BEFORE I even see you), and I'm tired! I don't have much left in me after that, so after class, I don't usually have it in me to linger and have private conferences with you, in all due respect. I want to shower the day off and go f* my wife, respectfully! And that's real talk, period.
None of you can judge me unless you've walked a day in my moccasins, yet through your actions or lack there of, and SOME of your shady comments about me, you obviously do. You have no idea what it takes to pull the multitude of aspects of this (or ANY) show together. You have no idea half the drama me and my family, who are also my business partners, go through on a daily basis. All you see is a smile and open arms when you come into drama class and you would never know none the wiser nor do any of you seem to really care, what I / WE really go through. And that's okay. No pity party here. Because as our friend Celine Dion said in her song 'A NEW DAY HAS COME'. And the tides are changing so I hope you ALL enjoyed IT while you could.
That way I won't have to inconvenience anyone, or be accused of cheating anyone out of anything ever again, or deliberately neglecting someone, no one will have to come to class and bitch and complain to me about what they want to do - won't do - will only do when they get paid to do it - no one will have to be bored with not another classic movie or TV show, that I willfully show to you to OPEN YOUR MINDS, but can see in some of your immature faces that I seem to be just wasting your precious time...
I ask ALL of you to check your cell phones at the front door with your shoes, and cut them OFF! And there's no respect there for ME, my class rules and/or your craft, because MOST of you still bring your cell phones into class with you... Texting and reading during class... Buzzing, beeping, vibrating, ringing interruptions during scenes... NO RESPECT! No respect for yourselves, your classmates and certainly none for me!
But yet, with this kind of behavior, clearly putting you in the rank of an 'AMATURE', some of you still have the audacity to question ME and my credibility! The classic movies and/or TV show footage that I choose to share with you is to broaden your mind and horizons. Shit, I own the footage and have seen this shit before, it's NOT for me and my family, it's for you to grow on... But some of you go out of your way to show me how 'bored to tears' you are, yet, those are usually the very one's who cannot consistently deliver even the simplest of scenes in class! The one's who seemingly can't get out of their own way, because they just love being THEMSELVES so much, that that's the best role in their arsenal that they know how to play! Pathetic! And you know who you are!
That in of itself is draining to me as a teacher and uninspiring, because unlike most drama teachers, I'm not only young but I can do more then just TEACH about it I can BE about it.'THOSE THAT CAN, DO... AND THOSE THAT CAN'T, TEACH'! NO f* that bs! NOT ME - I TEACH because I WANT to and SOME of you treat me and my services as if I TEACH because I HAVE TO - that I have no other choice. And that is f*d up. BECAUSE NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
In fact, by the time you get this, I should be on my way to L.A. To do a table read in a leading role for a new romantic comedy that a major motion picture studio has asked me to do on Santa Monica Blvd, tomorrow (Saturday, March 15th between 12 - 6PM). So don't get it twisted people.
I am the embodiment of my class title - 'The Reactionary Intensive'. I REACT TO YOU GUYS AND WHAT YOU GIVE ME - So every time you come to my class with your lack luster, more-rules, and 'Oh God don't pick me I don't feel like it ' energy, I feed off of that f*ed up junk food. And yet I still have to find a way to rise to the occasion no matter how ungrateful, lazy & uninspiring SOME of you guys come across; and still actually try and feed you something healthy and stimulating. But that s* is tired. I don't mind new mistakes but I am too old for this shit - Make a new mistake already. Try something different. And truth be told, those of you still struggling to 'find yourselves' are getting a little too old for that b*t too. GROW THE F*K UP ALREADY, at least Artistically! Do you have any idea how difficult, cut throat, calculating, competitive and complex this business is, that you THINK you're ready for!? S*T NO, I don't think so.
PROFESSIONALS come to class with no phone, no jewelry, no hang ups, no emotional baggage unless the CHARACTER calls for such, Shit and sometimes, even no clothes for that matter! Just open, honest, fearless & raw! Hell, Surprise me - actually DO Something that leaves me speechless, for a change! Leave yourself SPEECHLESS because of what you've been able to pull off (figuratively and literally)... Leave your class mates speechless! Impress yo damned self!
Can anyone of YOU actually say you have done anything that has made anyone just back the f* up, back down and have nothing to say because it was pure Genius, in my class? How many of those moments can you say you've had, stirred or created? HONESTLY! Have you personally had a moment of sheer emotional exhaustion (either ONCE or on a consistent basis) where you know and can say that you 'left it ALL on the stage or drama class floor' here @ 10190 Corbett Street)? F* NO, YOU CAN'T! BECAUSE MANY OF YOU ARE STILL JUST COASTING ALONG IN YOUR SAFE BOXES. And you mock my words, you will live to rue the day that you did NOT push yourselves beyond your self imposed limitations, my 'safe playing' friends. For to quote our dear Rick Lofton, 'Things in NYC and L.A. Are far more serious than you guys are bringing, making & taking of your studies and artistic practices here in Las Vegas'. You're doing yourselves a serious disservice! And may he too, practice what he preaches!
So for the LITTLE time we do have left to study TOGETHER. If you can't come to MY class happy - ready to pay when payment is due - ON TIME - excited - and ready to work... Ready to be surprised... Ready to surprise, excite & ignite both your own artistic spirit and those of your teacher and fellow classmates, then please, stay your sorry broke ass home. And If I remotely feel you are not representing the aforementioned energies above, then I will be among the FIRST to blast your ass and send your ass home. Because I don't have the energy or patience for it anymore, especially when its been unfortunately proven that at any given point, SOME of you still have the shallowness of character to back stab me and have so much shit to say about me and my family, behind our backs, regardless of how much we do in many of your regards.
I have to feel inspired to TEACH anyone and more often then not, Its like pulling teeth, pulling a cat into bath water, getting a child to eat his f*in vegetables because ITS GOOD FOR HIM or HER... COME ON PEOPLE! And what's f*d up about it, is that of all the classes that I have taught you guys in the last 2 years (for SOME of you), I can honestly say that only a handful (3 or 4) stand out as either memorable and effective. And as a whole, that sucks. Because ALL of the classes should have and could be that powerful, weekly, if YOU, as it's student (s) would proactively decide that that's how it's gonna be! Can you Imagine where all of you would be right now if you truly applied yourselves EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU CAME TO MY CLASS... Rather then just shuck and jive and come when you WANT to come and Pay when you WANNA pay and listen to the nay sayers who don't believe in how I teach and my tactics!? WELL F* THAT AND F* ANYONE reading this who's guilty of that kind of half-hearted, novice approach to their craft! I've cast my pearls before swine and this shit stops here... Now... TODAY!
Those that currently owe me money on your accounts, I want that cleared up as of this Monday, period. Or you don't ever have to return to class. Afterwards, ALL ($360) payments for ALL students (and I do mean 'ALL') will be due on the first Monday of the month that we have class, which will give Wanda and Siameze a break in the accounting department and stop all of the billing rebuttals and arguments with SOME of you who believe that we're 'nickel & diming' you for a lousy, stinking $90 a week. WHERE could any one else learn a craft that could generate them millions of dollars for the rest of their natural lives, for so CHEAP a price!? PUHLEEZE!
Yeah, some of you have made some break through's, and that's GREAT! For that, you should be commended, but in the grand scheme of things, it pales in comparison to where your heart, spirits and minds really need to be to get into the legitimate world of Acting, albeit on television, feature film or the legitimate stage. You're gonna have to really apply yourselves so that you actually stand out as the best YOU that YOU can be and you don't just blend in with the rest of the 1 billion wanna be actors that actually are working on the their craft, DAILY.
Some of these 'Actors In Training' have class in 8 hour workshops and eat, breath, and sleep their craft because they respect it. Because as smart actors and SMART BUSINESS people they understand that eventually the bi-product of all of that hard work and dedication will be notoriety, fame, financial freedom and the respect of the press, peers & public, alike.
But yet, aside from my own family members (Wanda and Siameze) who are obviously professionals, who can get 'naked' on ANY level, emotionally or physically, MOST of you, still cannot! And for those of you that thought to agree to belittle Siameze for getting totally butt ass crack naked in class for 15 solid minutes, by saying that 'it doesn't take much for ANYBODY to do that'... F* YOU! If you say you can do it like most of you said you could and bragged about how it doesn't really require TALENT, much of anything to just be naked, FINE - then I challenge you folks that think it's oh so simple to be 'NAKED' on any level, and like NIKE says... JUST DO IT! If not, then respectfully shut the f* up! Stop being a barking dog with no bite!
And for the record, I felt what Siameze did that day (not as my son but as an actor I have seen progress through time) took a lot of courage as he started off as one of the worst actors in my class when I first started. And we've all seen him develop into a full scale character actor without FEAR, LIMITS or WALLS! Can YOU say the same!? Have you even remotely applied yourself HALF as much as he has in his studies!? Have you faced down and defeated your inner demons as he has his!? If you haven't, then you're in no position, poise or stance to belittle his triumphs, efforts and massive creative energies, because you're NOT even on his level. It's like a junior high school varsity basketball player trying to comment and/or pass judgement on someone in the NBA. Please, save it... For if that's all you got... You can save it!

Nor will I ever have to justify what I do in business, because my actions will speak louder than any words I could ever say or write to you... And all those who are in (business) bed with me, will cum ha
