DISCLAIMER:
Most bondage producers are good people, treat the models very well, and the professionals in this business are frequently less likely to engage in sexual harassment than in other, normal types of business. However there are a few exceptions who give us all a bad name. Some of these stories may or may not be absolute fiction. If any producer recognizes himself, he or she should feel ashamed (but probably doesn’t). No names are given, so before any of you involved in the incidents below think about trying to sue me for libel or defamation of character, eat my shorts.

A producer was angry that a model kept missing shoots, even though it was not always entirely the model’s fault. When she did finally show up to work, the producer tied the model in a very stringent manner, and kept her tied up so long the model suffered nerve damage in her hands which kept her from working and caused extensive medical bills which the producer refused to pay.

A producer once tied ropes around a model’s forehead so tightly she had bruises on her forehead and headaches for days afterwards. She refused to work with this person after that.

A model fell off a table while hogtied and sustained an injury to her shoulder and back. She was unable to work for some time after the accident, but received no compensation for her medical bills, and still suffers from this injury today.

A producer who should’ve known better crossed a very flexible model’s wrists and then tried to tie her elbows close together. The model immediately dislocated her shoulder and was put out of work with no compensation.

A producer who should have been brought up on rape charges was drummed out of the business. Later, he asked one of his victims (a model who had become a producer) to put in a good word for him when he tried to get back into producing. She declined to help him.

A producer is reported to do very painful waxing scenes with a model when he knows he is not going to work with her again. At times, the scenes are so real they are not released.

A producer assured a model he was going to do a Harmony-type shoot, but when she asked to bring her boyfriend along, he sheepishly admitted there was going to be more erotic interaction than he’d first indicated. She immediately (and wisely) canceled the shoot.

According to legend, years ago a model was giving a (still currently active) producer a hard time. He tied the model in an inhumanly stringent hogtie and promptly left. Hours later, the model, hysterical and in excruciating pain, was found when her friends came to pick her up.

A model was tied down, blindfolded and gagged with a ring-gag when she felt a producer non-consensually put his tongue into her mouth.

After partying all night, a model came to a shoot and, while bound and gagged, passed out and fell over, hitting her head on the floor. She finally awakened with slight amnesia, but the producer did not take her to the emergency room or even drive her home. He also did not let her see the footage of what exactly happened.

An inept director told a dominatrix (who was more accustomed to working with men than with women) to “show no mercy” to the models and “beat the hell out of them” at a video shoot. An extremely popular model was beaten so badly she couldn’t walk the next day, and was bruised black for days afterwards. She was so traumatized by the experience she quit the business.

After a shoot, a model was kept locked in a cage against her will for three days.

While bound and gagged, a model was non-consensually groped and fingered by a producer, while the crew cheered him on. The producer ignored the model’s protests, but finally freed her when she started crying. There are rumors this producer engaged in this type of behavior on a regular basis.

A producer was angry at a model and during a two-model shoot, the woman who was the target of the producer’s ire received one stringent position after another, while the second model had a noticeably easier time. The first model was tied so strictly and for so long she suffered nerve damage in her hands and had to stop modeling.

After a shoot, a producer would only give a model her check if she crawled across the floor on all fours like a dog.

A producer is known to “test” the effectiveness of his ropework by non-consensually spanking and/or tickling the bound model. Aside from being non-professional, this behavior has made at least one model hesitant to ever do any more bondage.

A model traveled some distance to work with a producer. She was told she’d be paid by the scene. By the third incredibly strenuous scene the model, in tears, said she couldn’t take it any more and said she’d had enough. (Another model who had accompanied this model decided she was not going to work for him after seeing how her friend was treated.) The model’s belief was the producer was quite pleased by this turn of events, and felt he had proven himself superior, and immediately alienated himself from two very good models.

A producer filed a fictitious 1099 tax form for a model, claiming she had earned more money than she actually did (and in addition to what she had already been given a 1099 for, which she did claim on her taxes). The model did not find out about this until over two years later when the IRS demanded tax on the fabricated money, as well as penalty and interest. When the model confronted the producer, he claimed she had been paid in cash and had no records of the payment.

A model was wrapped in plastic, but when the scene was over the producer didn’t have any safety scissors. The producer very carefully used a knife, and promptly cut the model.

A model was tied standing, gagged and blindfolded in a garage. The producer claimed he’d forgotten something and left her alone (something that should never be done) with the camcorder on a tripod left running. He left her alone for half an hour, presumably only to catch her panicked reaction, later claiming he had locked himself out of the garage. This was not the only time he pulled this incredibly irresponsible stunt.

A model received nerve damage from a suspension, but the producer would not compensate her for her medical bills or loss of work. The model ultimately took the case to arbitration and the producer lost, but (to date) refuses to pay.

If a model complains too much about the stringency of the bondage, a producer is said to work very slowly to free the model and alleviate her discomfort.

A model performing for a live internet show was suspended with clothespins on her labia when the suspension broke and the unfortunate woman fell to the concrete floor. The clothespins tore her labia, and she went into shock. The producer then tried to dock the model’s pay since she did not complete her shift.

A producer is notorious for not paying his models; he usually runs this scam on models from other parts of the country (or from other countries).

When a model had a tooth chipped by a metal dental-gag, the producer refused to pay her for any dental work.

A producer is notorious for disregarding the models’ “safe word,” and asking the models to continue the scene for “one more minute,” which may actually stretch for five to ten minutes.

Because of bondage which was too strict, a model passed out three times at a shoot. (Generally, if a model passes out once, the shoot is over.)

A producer did a trade shoot with a model, but did not give her the photos which were produced for her own website. These photos later appeared on his website.

A producer asked a model what her limitations were. She named only one particular thing, which the producer did during a live internet show, all the while commenting that this was the one thing this model did not want to do. According to rumor, these consentuality issues are very common with this producer.

While being gagged in an extreme, multi-layer manner, a model’s jaw popped and became slightly dislocated, taking days for her to fully recover.
