Tyler Johnson of urbanroom.com contacted me on Model Mayhem and said he wanted to audition me to see if he wanted to be my manager as a model and actress and to see if I fit some of the films he was making. He said I needed do a lovemaking scene nude with him so he could see how I could perform in that situation and to prove I was really comfortable with it. He would need to film it, along with other parts of the audition to so he could evaluate my performance later. He said this was a regular practice for him.
It sounded reasonable to my naive ears, and I wanted the opportunities he offered, so I did it, unsure of what he was actually expecting of me.
I was clearly uncomfortable from the beginning of the "scene" and asked throughout the process if it was really necessary for the audition. He assured me it was and went on to try to perform oral and manual sex on me, and I stopped it. I consulted friends in the industry afterward, and they confirmed my instinct that I had been taken advantage of.
Even if he had not gone as far as he did, it was still wrong. I'm writing this so hopefully other girls learn that they should never have to be nude for an audition.
