I was booked for an event in Dallas by Dawn Rochelle Models, I worked the event in October. After Thanksgiving I still had not been paid and began trying to contact Dawn Rochelle. (I was initially told it could take up to 60 days to be paid).
I tried several times to reach the agency at the number on their website, the same contact number I received when I was booked for the job, but was never able to reach an actual person, only an answering machine. I left several messages but my call was never returned.
I sent an email to the contact address listed on the agency's website, a week later I still had not received a reply so I sent another e-mail. I finally received a reply.
For months I attempted to contact Dawn Rochelle, I was never able to reach anyone on the phone, about half of my e-mails received responses from Dawn, each time asking for some further information from me, or that I resubmit a form or create an account on her website (which I had already done, I was told to do this several times).
I have since been in contact with some of the other girls I worked with at the event and none of them have been paid either. Do not work for Dawn Rochelle if you actually want to get paid, and good luck trying to contact her if you have any issues.
I wasted 4 days working a job that I will probably never receive payment for, and 4 months trying hopelessly to contact an "agency" which appears to consist of only one person who ignores a lot of messages. Dawn Rochelle is incredibly unprofessional and a crook.
