I have been a client of Lisa Reagle's for a little over a year now. I trained with her company and attended the MAAI convention. I am the client that won, "Best Actor of the Year". I also am the one that choreographed the winning Group Runway routine. Lisa had also asked me to become a Director of her company. Needless to say, I have been very close with Lisa Reagle and have come to know her very well.
After a recent trip to NYC with her, I have parted ways with her on unfortunate terms. Her behavior reached all new hieghts of unprofessionalism! First of all, I was told by her that she was attending the MAAI meeting on the Tuesday that we were there. Parents of her clients gave her thier child's resumes, cd's and heashots in promises that Lisa would take them to agents while up in New York. She was also said to have been going to oversee me signing a contract with Randy Cazzalinno. A manager I met at the MAAI convention. Here are the facts of what actually happened while on the trip with Lisa:
*She never went to any agents while in New York. She had the chance and the responsibility to her clients to do so. She did nothing about it.
*She slandered a client, Danielle, to her other clients and potential clients, calling Danielle a "Slut" and a "Whore".
*She engaged in sexual activities in the SAME hotel room that we were all staying in. She is married and has 2 beautiful children. Niether of whom were on her mind at the time. She had the sexual encounters every night while she thought the rest of us were sleeping. I was not. I heard and saw the whole thing.
Two of the girls staying in the room were 18 years old!!! If taken to court, she faces a new title instead of "agent".
*When I confronted her about her unprofessionalism and indescresion, she verbally lashed out at me, calling me, " a fing b*ch!". She did this in front of clients, potential clients, a manger and her buisness partner.
*She did not attend the MAAI meeting. Opting instead to continue with her own personal buisness
I have spoken with serveral of the mothers whose children were with Lisa and explained to them that I was no longer associated with Lisa or her company. I was very pleased with the support I received.
I can't believe this is the person who is representing MAAI in Oklahoma. MAAI deserves better representation. I am sad about the events that took place. But I am also very happy that my eyes have been opened. Lisa Reagle is a disgrace.
