The last thing I want to do is get involved in this bullshit, but I will offer the following observations for what they are worth (which is probably nothing):
I ignored all the crap spread by Jewels and the posters on Craig's list about "melissa" being a drunken thief and saw amanda/melissa/skylar very recently. It was one of the best (but saddest) sessions I ever had with a provider. She is sweet, innocent and vulnerable.
The combination of her personality and (dyed) blond hair sort of reminded me of Marylin Monroe. If you know anything about Marylin's mental state toward the end of her life you will understand amanda's. Its actually very sad. You can't tell much about a person after spending an hour with her, but it is hard to imagine her being malicious, spiteful or ill-meaning. Rather, she comes across as a troubled girl being manipulated by some bad people. I don't think she can be held responsible for any of the events described above or on Craig's list. Who knows. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
For what its worth, she told me that when she quit working for Jewels and modelelite (She actually referred to the later as NYELITES, but I think she meant to say modelelite) she was told by both that she would be black-balled in the "industry" and wouldn't be able to work anywhere else. The bad rumers spread about her were designed to make good on these threats. She never said anything to me about being raped. I don't think the pimp/handler/driver or who-ever-the-fuck-he-is, that I spoke with when I booked her was Keith Sky, of modelelite, but I could be wrong about that. She told me she uses the guy as a driver because he gives her a good rate. I was not convinced.
For all I know her explanation of events merely parroted what some fucking pimp told her to say; and maybe she did steal and she is a drunk. Notwithstanding that, given her mental state, I don't know if she can fairly be held responsible for any of this.
Its too bad if you got caught up in the swirling vortex generated by these bad characters hazmat, but I think she is caught there too, I wouldn't hold "amanda" responsible for any of this.
Needless to say, I have no stake in this. I don't think I will ever see her again.
