Subject: Aquarian Associates ........Nice Try!!!!! Author: Former Employee [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:29:34 03/11/04 Thu Hello! I decided to post another message regarding The Great American Model Search, aka Model Management, aka Aquarian Associates. As stated in my previous message, Aquarian Associates IS A JOKE!!!! I do not know who this woman named "Charolette" is, claiming that her son "Tyler" has received numerous opportunities through this company. Opportunities with this company DO NOT EXIST!!!! I used to work there!!!! I am not an aspiring model who is upset for being turned down, I am a former scam artist too!!!! My guess is that Sam Manfredi or (or his wife Marilyn) created that wonderful message. Notice that there isn't any other positive feedback? Funny how only one person has "received work"!!! If Sam or Marilyn are not behind this, then it is probably the work of Elaine Zucarelli, or Paul Witt (partners in the scam). Or perhaps it was Steven S. Snyder (self-proclaimed "Hollywood Agent"). I do not believe it is an actual post. Sam is always trying to cover himself. PLEASE, do not fall for this ridiculous scam. How legit is it that they oporate under different names? Paul Witt flies around from city to city claiming to be an "Agent" with his sidekick Lisa. These people ARE NOT agents!!!!! Read my previous post. They used to be located in Monroeville, oporating under the name John Casablanca's. Then they moves to Forrest Hills, as Model Management. Now they are in Penn Hills still ripping people off. When you see Sam, ask him about "Little Rascals"- another one of his scams from years ago!!! Take my word for it, save your money, and run .........Fast! Try a reputable agency in Pittsburgh, like The Talent Group, or Docherty. And whoever this "Charolette" person is, nice try, you are not who you say you are......I GUARANTEE IT!!! The day will come when you are all exposed, and you can no longer make a career out of ripping people off! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Thanks to the former employee for saving me time! Author: T B [Edit] Date Posted: 17:00:00 04/06/04 Tue I want to thank you for coming forward any exposing them. Even though i have lost some money. I will not be losing any more time or money for that matter. I was suppose to go to the search in July @ the raddison in greentree. I wish i would have known what i know now, but i will not be attending. I was suppose to do it last year but i got hurt an could not attend, but since i was already paid in full. I would automaticaly go this year. Well after some research an reading the comments. I have decided to just eat the money. An for get about going to the thing. I was fooled an i won't make a fool out of myself again. An i could do something else that day instead of wasting my time being scammed anymore then they already have. Once again thank you.

[> [> Subject: Charlotte is real and a wonderful lady! Author: Tiffany [Edit] Date Posted: 12:53:32 04/17/04 Sat I do not usually post on here, we are fairly new to the industry, but we live in NC and are very good friends with Charlotte and her son. Our sons are like brothers. She is a real lady and her son is doing awesome! They really are in LA and he has gotten a lot of parts. They also have been doing this for 6 years. It's not easy, it takes time. You never know who you will meet that might help you get your foot in the door. I don't know where all her son's opportunities originated, but she works hard and follows up on everything to give her son all the possibilities she can. They introduced us to our agent and we are very thankful! We have never heard of Aquarian Associates, and can't offer any insight into their practices, but I can tell you that Charlotte is a great mom and friend and a real life person living in North Carolina (LA for now:)and we listen very closely to any advice she gives us!

[> [> [> Subject: "Charolette Davis + Joann Lynch" = DAMAGE CONTOL!! Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 11:05:49 04/20/04 Tue Okay......so you are trying to convince me that you know this woman "Charolette" and her son "Tyler"? However, you proceed to say that you have never heard of Aquarian Associates and do not know where his opportunities have originated! If your sons "are like brothers", then why do you NOT know where all of his work is coming from? And what exactly is your point? If you scroll down through the different posts, you will see that the only positive feedback regarding Aquarian Associates and The Great American Model/Talent Search is from a woman named "Charolette" and "Joann". Both posts are supposed to be from different people however, they are both written in all caps, and posted on the same date within the same time frame. Did I also mention that "Charolette's" child's name is "Tyler", and "Joann's" child's name is "Tayler"? Coincidence, or is someone attempting to do damage control? Also, in these posts, there are gramatical errors, such as "Pittsburg". IT IS SPELLED WITH AN H!!!!!! Do I believe that these posts are written by different people? Are you kidding! Of course they are not. But it is a nice attempt on their part! Maybe next time, they could post on different days, or maybe some in caps and some in lower case. That way it won't look so obvious to people like me who know a rat when I smell one! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Yes, I am trying ro convince you Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 16:41:32 04/24/04 Sat I do not know where all his opportunities originated because they started acting and modeling 6 years ago and we've only know them for a year. If you read Charlotte's post, you'll see that Tyler found new AGENTS that were interested at the showcases. I know which agencies he is with because my son is with two of the same agencies. She told me his first showcase was in Pitt, but our talk mainly focuses on the here and now and how we can help our children fulfill their dreams. She has been to so many things over the past six years, we probably would never have enough time to talk about all of them. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Not Very Convincing - But Nice Try!!!! Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 07:56:00 04/25/04 Sun Well, you do insist that "Charolette" and "Tyler" are real people with real succuss stories. Fine. They are your friends, blah, blah ,blah..... You still have not responded to the fact that "Charolette" and "Joann" have the exact same posts, written in the exact same way, at the same time, with the same errors, with children with similar names, praising the exact same company!!!! Come on now, give me some credit! If you really are friends with "Charolette", maybe she has a split personality! You should ask her about Joann Lynch. It appears that they have ALOT in common! Maybe THEY could be best friends! Maybe they are THE EXACT SAME PERSON! Maybe someone is just trying to save their own ass. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: nice try Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 16:08:14 05/10/04 Mon Maybe they are friends, maybe they met at one of the searches. Who cares how they spell Pittsburgh. My parents were born there and I still have to think about the spelling. These woman have two children that are obviously talented and it seems to me that being in the search was the tool they needed to launch their careers. I mean North Carolina and Kentucky are not full of opportunities. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Charolette, Joann, and Aquarian Assoc Author: Donna [Edit] Date Posted: 08:42:34 05/11/04 Tue I know Charolette & Tyler, Joann and Taylor and a lot about Aquarian Assoc! My daughter, Alexandrea, has worked with both Tyler and Taylor! Alex got her start through Aquarian Assoc. She was in her first Great American Model And Talent search 4 years ago and has been back twice. She met Tyler after the first search and has worked with him on several jobs. We met Joann and her son Taylor last year when Alex worked with both Taylor and Tyler on a job. Aquarian Assoc. is not a scam. Their purpose is to help you gain exposure which they do by holding the Great American Model And Talent Search. They do have many legit agents and scouts at their search and participates do get work from them! Unfortunately, not everyone will make it in the business and it seems as if a few of those that don't have a hard time accepting that fact. That does not mean that Aquarian Assoc is a scam. No one who attends the search is ever guarenteed work. All they guarentee is expose and my daughter got exactly that and has now done several commercials, print ads and even a movie all as a result of her exposure at The Great American Model and Talent Search. To those of you that don't believe me that is OK because Alex has had a lot of fun, done a lot, and is hopefully on her way to even bigger and better things. And it all started with the Great American Model and Talent Search. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

She should be in the credits of the movie shouldn't she? Prove it! If you can! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: nice try Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 11:19:05 05/15/04 Sat I have never heard of anything so rude!! Open your eye's. Tyler as a result of this not only was in the feature film juwannaman, but also the independent feature throw down, a international seaworld commercial, a national phizer pharmacutical commercial, valvoline & banquet chicken tender commercials and the new mercedes commercial which is playing all over the country currently.why don't you go to charlotte & tylers E mail. They will talk to you directly. If you had a child, & I am sure you don"t, (Too much time on your hands) How would you feel if everyone told your child he wasn't real. From a friend of Charlotte, your sick & you need help.Leave the child out of your agenda. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Yes she is a real lady! Author: Tammy Haigler [Edit] Date Posted: 07:08:27 05/10/04 Mon Yes she is real and a great person. I have known her for 17 years even before Tyler was born. I do know that she has worked very hard for Tyler and she has done alot. They are great and Tyler is very talented. After reading some on these posts it just seems to me that something did not go the way that you wanted it to so you are countering back with negativity. I have been with Charlotte to some of her agencies and it has been an amazing expierence for me to see. I have a 2 year old daughter and she is helping me get Macayla into the business. We have met with one of the agents that Tyler has signed with from the search in Pittsburgh. As for the concerning with the spelling of the city in Pennsylvania, if you are not from there many people might spell them different ways. The town that we are from has many different spellings with people. some people who live here spell it different. And to be technical, the disgruntled employee has spelled Charlotte's name wrong. So I say... What is in a name. The point of the matter is, no matter if you know a person or not, if someone is willing to give out their email addy and talk about things that their child has done and not only talk about it, but describe things in detail, then they are real. I personally, have seen the work Tyler has done, on tv, his print work, and movie and video work. So please everyone, don't judge a book by looking at the the cover, open it and read, you might be suprised what you will like. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Agent Interest Author: Me [Edit] Date Posted: 16:06:41 01/12/07 Fri Can you tell me the name of the agent that you were put in touch with? I live in NC and want to get my son involved. Thanks for your help. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: aquarian associates Author: jhon [Edit] Date Posted: 18:25:44 05/08/04 Sat Nice try talent group or docherty are not legit agents ask them if they subscribe to a breakdown service. If there legit they would say yes. Obviously you are a novice and a coward afraid to identify yourself since you obviously are a past disgruntled employee or worse a competitor in this business. Most people do not believe what they see on a unregulated internet where no one can verify what you say, or what is true. Wake up. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: HELLO JHON................. Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 15:47:38 05/09/04 Sun First of all, Docherty and The Talent Group DO NOT charge a cent for representation, AND they actually have clients! I would say that's pretty damn legit! Ask them who their clients are, and they will tell you! Mostly all of the models used in this area (Pittsburgh) are supplied by these two agencies! They don't sell modeling conventions, or modeling classes or pictures, and they definetly DO NOT accept everyone! Completely different from Model Management-Aquarian Associates-Great American.....WHATEVER!!!!! That my friend is what a legit agency is. The ONLY money they make is the 20% they take from each model from each assignment. That's the way it is in New York, Miami, LA, everywhere that is LEGIT! Why don't you call around to the major companies in PGH, and ask them where they get their models from. Call Kaufmann's, call Izzuzau, Phillip Pelussi, E.B Pepper, call fashion designers, call photographers! Thay will almost always tell you DOCHERTY or TALENT GROUP. Never will they say Model management! Hell, Model Management won't even answer your questions about who they represent, or who their clients are! You are the one who needs to wake up! The most humorous thing about all of this, is that you think I am a disgruntled employee or a competitor. Let me tell you something, I left them. Not the other way around. When I did leave, I came into an entirely diffrent profession. I am currently in law. Take that however you would like. Maybe I'm a cop, FBI, or perhaps a PI. You never know. But I can assure you, I am no longer in this industry......at least not the way you think I am. So, if Sam sent you to check me out, tell him I said hello, and not to get too comfortable. I am just starting to enjoy myself...... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: aquarian Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 05:39:34 05/11/04 Tue legit agents in L.A. only take 10%, so big deal. And how do you get seen by them ? They don't come to you. You go to them. I wasn't talking about local work in you cow town of pittsburgh. Guess what a plane ticket costs. And accomadation costs are. And that still doesn't garantee anything. People who are trying to do this nationaly and have experienced this, know you are obviously misled or have an ax to grind or whatever. Obviously its not worth the time to explain.

[> [> [> Subject: Aquarian Associates Author: Steve Patric [Edit] Date Posted: 09:49:07 05/11/04 Tue My kid is interested in modeling and acting(as many teenagers are)I've been reading the message postings I see a lot of good ones and bad ones. I noticed that "former employee" has some personal issues with the company and with all due respect you have a severe revenge complex. Or are you just an "evil doer" who saw the light and is now a crusater for truth, justice and the american way? If that's the case I know a car salesman that I would like you to have a chat with maybe you can make him see the light, we'll talk about that later though. As someone who has been fired from jobs before I though "It would be nice to get back at them for what they did to me." The problem with that was the fact that I had better things to do with my time. Judging by the number of postings and the speedy way you reply to others you don't. I guess the "law" business is pretty slow, I hear the Justice League has an opening, Aqua Man was fired! I'm gonna check out his postings when I'm done with this. But wait, lemme guess it's not personal. Were all of the bad postings from you? It seems that you discredit the good postings due to spelling errorz(s), punctuation, CAPS LOCK, similar names of children, etc. COME ON Please. If I had a dollar for every time I foud a misspelling on the internet or in print I wouldn't be here researching things on the internet for my kid. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD there is a message from a tiffany and a message from a tammy. I can't personally vouch for them but they leave names. Charlotte even leaves an e-mail address. I truly believe that Charlotte has a son named Tyler and JoAnne has a son named Tayler and that they have had good experiences as have others. I also believe that others percive their experience as bad because they were not as lucky as the others. Besides some people are going to be pissed no matter what. I hope the teacher here doesn't give my letter an "F" for any spelling or grammar errors. Thanks for Listening Steve Patric P.S. TO CHARLOTTE: which boy is Tyler in the Mercedes commercial? (I will not discredit you if you would still like to maintain your son's privacy, that is respectable. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: DAMAGE CONTROL.......AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 10:28:50 05/11/04 Tue Now let's take things one at a time. First of all, I am NOT a disgruntled employee of any kind. I have never been fired from anywhere (unless you count the jobs I've had as a teenager). As for the "ax I have to grind", there is no ax. How do you even know I am not aquaintances with good old Sammy and Marilyn Manfreddi? I worked there long enough to realize that what they were doing was unethical. I did not want to be a part of it. So I left. What it comes down to is that I do not want these people to continue ripping innocent people off! Bottom line. They have gotten away with it for soooooo long, and it is time to stop! Model Management, Aquarian Associates, Great American Modeling Search, IS A JOKE! I WORKED THERE! I SAW WHAT WENT ON! I WAS A SCAMMER TOO! When you call them, they can't even answer questions about who their clients are! They tell you they can't answer any questions, you have to be seen by a "scout". Believe me, I know the drill. I am sure the people who posted all of this B.S. are employees of Sam. I would garantee it. Who else would it be? They all have similarities. And YOU say who cares? I say, because it is the same person trying to do damage control! Everyone else knows (or is finding out) what kind of companies these really are. That makes my job alot easier. People are not as dumb as you think they are. My posts really don't mean much. Everyone will find out on their own. However, kudos to Sammy and Marilyn for trying to save themselves......

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: DAMAGE CONTROL AGAIN!!!! Author: CHARLOTTE A DAVIS [Edit] Date Posted: 03:44:48 05/12/04 Wed WELL ANY WAY WHO EVER YOU ARE. YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT I OR MY SON IS NOT REAL. I LEFT MY EMAIL, I LIVE IN NC, YOU CAN GO AND PUT TYLER LEE DAVIS HIS FULL NAME IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH AND YOU WILL SEE THAT HE IS REAL!!!!! SO WE ARE NOT AQUARIAN EMPLOYEES, WE ARE NOT AQUARIAN'S CLIENTS, BY GOING TO THE SEARCH TYLER RECEIVED EXPOSURE FROM THE AGENTS AND SCOUTS THAT CAME TO THE SEARCH AND THAT WAS ALL THAT HE PROMISED ME... EXPOSURE! IT WAS GREAT, MAYBE BY CHANCE THAT HE IS ONE IN A 1000, THAT MAKE IT FROM THE SEARCH AS DONNA SAID IN ANOTHER POST NOT EVERYONE WILL MAKE IT, BUT THE AGENTS AND SCOUTS THAT CAME TO THE SEARCH WERE GREAT AND WE ARE EXTREMELY HAPPY. SO YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT WE ARE FAKE, I TAKE IT PERSONALLY WHEN IT COMES TO MY SON, SO PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS LEAVE YOUR EMAIL, I WILL CONTACT YOU IN PERSON. PUT UP OR SHUT UP! DO NOT BE AFRAID OF SAYING WHO YOU ARE. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Employee????? Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 05:52:59 05/17/04 Mon You say you were an employee but you do not have an ax to grind!! Well if you were actually an employee you should at least know how to correctly spell Sam's last name!!! But then maybe that was why you were fired because you were such a poor employee that you couldn't even get things right. Now you want to try to get back at them for firing you. Instead of wasting all your time posting all this erroreous stuff on the BB, you should go back to school and learn how to be a good employee! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Get A Grip! Author: Former Employee [Edit] Date Posted: 09:11:15 05/17/04 Mon Good guess, but no, I was not fired. I actually left there on good terms! This is NOT personal! I simply want to educate the public about scams in the industry. Coincidentally, Sam runs the biggest one around! For some strange reason, everyone there at the office seems to be getting a little fired up! Did I strike a chord? A reputable agency would ignore postings on a message board and relize that their good reputation (and track record) would keep them out of trouble. Sam, however, can't afford to have the truth come out, and as a result, is getting a bit nervous. Why do you think I was fired? Do you fire EVERYONE? As for me not spelling his name correctly, whatever! Manfreddi, Manfredi....same thing! He is still a CON ARTIST! PERIOD! As for me going back to school....well....if you know what I did for a living, you would know why that is not possible. I have more education than your entire staff put together! Like I said, this is not personal.However, for someone that has something to hide....well...I suppose that it is. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

YOU SAID THAT TOU CAN GUARANTEE IT, AND YOU REALLY MADE A BIG FUSS ABOUT ME FORGETTING THE H IN PITTSBURGH... AND YOU MAKE SPELLING ERRORS. NOT TO BE MEAN BUT ARE YOU ON PROZAC AND IT RAN OUT.

Fine, you are real, and so is your son, whatever! It just looks a little shady that when you post, there are other postings written in the same format, in the same time frame, with the same errors, and they all say basically the same thing! It sounds to me like they are from the same author. I am not the only one that thinks so. Read the other postings. IT LOOKS SUSPICIOUS! Sure, I have errors in my postings too, but I am not claiming to be different people EVERY TIME I post! It is also fishy that out of all of the people that attend the GAMTS, YOU and your son are the only ones with anything possitive to say! PEOPLE ARE NOT DUMB!!!!! So, go ahead with your insults (you are obviously the one who needs medication). I am sure after I post today, Sam or whoever else from the office will post again trying to do DAMAGE CONTROL!!!!! Good luck, you will need it. Give my best to your son.....his mother is a lunatic with too much time on her hands! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

SAME TIME FRAMES, WELL PEOPLE LIVE ALL OVER AND THEY COULD DO IT AS I DO. YES I POSTED ME A REAL LADY, WITH REAL SUCESS AND TYLER WILL CONTINUE, NO HE DOES NOT HAVE A LUNATIC MOM BUT A MOM WHO CARES DEEPLY AND BELIEVES WHOLE HEARTEDLY IN HER SON AND HIS DREAMS, ONE WHO NEVER GAVE UP AND I NEVER WILL. TYLER DID THE GAMTS 6 YEARS IN A ROW AND WE WILL BE BACK IN JUNE AT THE NEXT ONE. REMEMBER THAT THEY DO PROMISE YOU EXPOSURE AND IN THIS BUSY BUSINESS THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BE SEEN BY SOMEONE WHO CAN GET THE BALL ROLLING IF THEY BELIEVE IN THE TALENT THAT YOUR KIDS HAVE. I AM SORRY FOR WHAT EVER HAPPEN THAT MADE YOU WANT TO SLANDER THIS COMPANY, BUT AQUARIAN DESERVES SOME PROPS!!!!! AND TO THEM TYLER AND MYSELF GIVE IT. I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD JUST STOP AND LET PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY FEEL IS BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN. OBVISOUSLY, THERE COMPANY AND THEIR BUSINESS HAS HAD SUCCESS OR IT WOULDN'T HAVE REMAINED IN BUSINESS FOR SO LONG. SO TO YOU AND YOUR "CRYSTAL BALL" I HOPE THAT YOU GET IT FIXED.

[> [> [> Subject: aquarian Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 18:58:02 05/11/04 Tue what about the kickback doucherty & talent group recieve from photographers that charge exorbantent fees because these so called agents only earn when the people work. with all due respect, wich isn't really due. there isn't that much work in pittsburg. Oops no H . I guess that means we don't exist. I forgot this is a message board for one individual I guess. I know those photographers so if you are looking for legit agents get on the phone to people outside of local miniscule pittsburgh & talk to people in major markets, If you really want to work.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Aquarian Associates- Still a SCAM...Look Around! Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 10:26:06 05/13/04 Thu Like I have said in my previous posts, I am not talent looking for work, I am a former employee of scam artists. When I spoke about Docherty and the Talent Group, I was not just refering to JUST the Pittsburgh area. Go ahead, give them a call. Many of their talent is in New York City, Chicago, Miami, etc., and THEY ARE WORKING!!!! However, there is also alot of local work here in Pittsburgh! Any "agency" that charges a fee, or requires you to purchases classes, pictures, model searches, or anything else IS A SCAM! Bottom line! No reputable agency has an "in house" photographer that you must use. Ask Model Management if you can use your own professional photograpghs! They will tell you NO! Regardless if they were taken by a photographer reccomended by the Ford Agency! They want your money! All $400.00 of it! Give me a break! Anyone who has done their homework knows that! As for this message board being all about me, that is humorous. I want to educate people about scam artists in the industry. Model Management aka Great American Modeling Search,aka Aquarian Associates is one of them! I am not the only one who has posted things like this either. Look around. Just about every post is about this company and people's bad experiences with them, so don't blame me! The only positive ones are from Sam and his staff-it doesn't take a rocket scientist! For a while there, everyone remained fairly silent. Then all of a sudden, all these people start posting, coming after ME! Coincidence? I don't think so! I think Sam and Marilyn are getting a little nervous-they should. As for me being a "coward" for not posting my name, I suppose I could. I could post ANY name, just like everyone else could! So if you want a name, call me Jamie. How's that? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

YOU STILL HAVEN'T RESPONDED TO THE FACT THAT YOU DAY I AND MY SON TYLER ARE NOT REAL, HIS OTHER NEW COMMERCIAL, FOR ORLANDO TOURISM AND SEA WORLD VACATIONS STARTED RUNNING YESTERDAY, I SAY THAT IS PRETTY GOOD FOR A FAKE PERSON.

[> [> [> [> Subject: I am very happy with what Aquarian Associates and what they have done Author: A thankful Mom [Edit] Date Posted: 21:47:09 06/15/04 Tue I just went to one of their searches and it was awesome. Not only did my daughter get work from an agent on the spot but also we interviewed with three other agents and we are in the process of signing with them. It was the best exposure that my child could of gotten in the least amount of time. Three thumbs up for the well organized event, the staff, the agents, scouts, modeling agents, photographers and all the other people that were there to see my child. I am so grateful. They opened the door and helped me to get my daughter's whole body in, not just a foot. Cheers to All!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: I do NOT think so Author: Gloria [Edit] Date Posted: 18:48:38 07/07/05 Thu I first would like to address that I do not understand where someone can get off calling someone fake. I know Charlotte and Tyler personally and I know for a fact that they both are real and that Tylers accomplishments are real. Its just tacky that some people are jealous of the fact that they can not go anywhere and want to put people down. They ARE real and they shouldnt be put down for being talented. Tyler has REAL talent that isnt bought, it was gave to him by God and he knows how to show it. He has done wonderful because the person that he is. So maybe now you can get on with your life and find something better to do then put down people that you obviously do not know. Find something else to talk about and leave the real talent alone. Thanks alot. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
