There is no such modeling agency. It's a knock off copy to a real company:
https://julsmodelmanagement.com/
The so called owner of the business is Alizbeth Libot who will ask you to send 50 bucks to her Western Union account in the Philippines so that you will receive a bogus form that permits their models to meet with you. The scam is retarded. They'll entice you through dating platforms like Ashley Madison. When asked "what guarantees do you give the model will meet with me after I send 50 bucks to fill out (the form)" they replied through email "that's why we don't usually do business with first timer clients"
Question remains... how do you run a business that has no first time clients??
Gotta be born with half a brain to fall for such nonsense of highest order.
Super mean to me and says super out of pocket insults. Emotionally abused me and I couldn't take it to a point where I attempted suicide. I slit my wrists and bled out and someone saved my life thankfully to where I can make this review.
I’m not the first to attempt suicide with foxxx from Chris’s emotional abuse.
He will drop u too as soon as u have one slip up on set. Mine was I had a bruise on me and they couldn’t cover it up on set and sent me home so he took me off his agency and told me I won’t be able to make it in the industry if I keep “fucking up”.
My first time being "sent home” also he booked me for a g/g and the girl (ivy Ireland) was super unkept down there and I cried it was so disgusting and got sent home and it wasn’t my fault her vagina was so unkept. And he made it like it was my fault and he gaslighted me for 2 months straight.
If u call him out on any type of behavior or something he said or did he will be narcissist and say “I don’t want to argue or will just hang up and then continue to insult me “ he also had a girl named Ada Lyn that he allowed her to physically assault me at the model house and he didn’t do anything about it. I was scared staying there bc Sophia Sterling making catty comments about other girls with Chris and them laughing and one of them was me that they talked about while I was in the bathroom.
Pros Some bookings
Cons Emotional Abuse
Drug use from models at the house
Physical assault
Gas lighting
Couch potato
Favoritism
They got me no work. Sandra yelled at me a lot and wanted me to pay to get out of my contract. Pimp mentality and tried to get me to join Tryst. So disappointed. I think I will go out on my own now.
I booked twice, both time they took my money and never showed up. So not ever use these people. They never returned emails and always said they were too busy to talk. This is a big scam.
Pros There are no pros , this is a scam
Cons They are happy to book and take your money but no one ever shows and they go dark on you.
SMH... 0 models on their site... claims on their Twitter to be licensed, but that's an obvious lie. Also, they retweet extremely racist, hate-filled, genocidal blog posts. Recommend staying FAR away from whoever the shady little muppet is behind this lame excuse for a website. I saw (his) logo claims to be a "conglomerate"... lol a "conglomerate" of bullshit.
This agency have there favorite girls and they will only push the one they like, producers might ask for you but they will lie and say you are not available but this girl is... Unprofessional, not responding when need to... Wont vouch for them ever
I was interested in joining this agency, but I was shopping around for other agencies as well. The owners of Coxxx told me that I could work with multiple agencies at a time. So I signed with them. After the contract was signed I tried to sign with another agency and that agency told me that these are exlusive contracts and no agency allows you to work with more than one agency. So now I'm stuck with Coxxx and I really wanted to go with another agency. When I asked the owners, they told me that I was misinformed and that No you can't work for another agency once you sign their contract. But the owner told me I could so I don't understand how I could be misinformed. They told me if I wanted out of their contract I could pay them $2000. What a scam! So they make $2000 even tho the error of information was theirs. Don't bother with Coxxx Models. They got very nasty with me and even threatened me that I would have a hard time in the industry because they were going to tell all of the producers that I was difficult. I'm writing this in hopes of informing other models to steer clear of this agency. The owners are unprofessional and nasty! Run!!!!
Pros Nothing
Cons Lies about contracts, nasty, and screams at their models.
I don't think they are an Adult Talent Agency. They look more like a production company but the content you find on their page was created by Digital Desire years ago. Also the photos don't match with the name of the models, which I find a bit sketchy. They have photos of Abigail Mac under the name Riley Rebel, photos of Goldie under the name Jill Xanders and photos of Riley Anne under the name Lena Love. I find that to be very sketchy.
Pros Nothing.
Cons Why are you bonded in the State of California but you don't represent models?
So far I just had interactions with pimps attempting to find girls to escort, and creeps parading as producers to scam photos from people on this site. Please be careful and look into everything, very unsafe site. Also you text apps to give out your actual number!!! If I could give ZERO stars I would. This site seems unmanaged and definitely an Craigslist type of escort page.
Pros None.
Cons Everything about this site and the fraudulent producers, sites etc. BE SAFE EVERYONE
Pete the manager there at Xxxmgmt is super helpful and knows exactly how to be the best. I have had and am having the best experience with this company.
Pros Safe, nice, respectful, responding, and overall the best
My manager Pete has been amazing, he’s been super understanding, uplifting and right to the point. He’s made this whole experience amazing and I couldn’t be happier. I love how he’s just straight to the point and knows exactly what to say.
We are an independent video production company and, as of 4.2.24 just spent a solid a month on SexyJobs sending out over 300 emails. It is clear that most of the profiles there are indeed fake as the response rate was less than five percent. Furthermore, many of the emails we sent out still remain unread, even when the system indicates the jobseeker has logged in multiple times since we sent the email. Why would a legit jobseeker log on to the site and then not read their emails? This would defeat the entire purpose of both being on the site and continuing to log on. Now, we did find a few legit jobseekers, but they those were few and far between. Most of SexyJobs is a complete scam so best find somewhere else to spend you time, and money.
I paid $40 to lose $1,800 dealing with a scam artist on this site named spicy supposedly from Greensboro NC this person is a scammer ...Sexy job was brought to my attention by another person in the industry which big up this site as it was The leader of adult entertainment.
Finders ... It definitely does not live up to the hype. This spicy person was a con artist amongst others on this site. So basically I went through several individuals that posted on this site stating that they were professionals. Turns out it's a whole sham scam artists. I have screenshots of all conversations between me and the individuals. Not one of them are sincere. At least the ones I dealt with sexy jobs makes it like it's up to you to weed out everybody which they don't do. But they sure want to take that $40 from you every month. This site needs to have oversight or some kind of overhaul to really weed out the scam artists because apparently sexy jobs does not care
Male talent signed with hussie collabing with women without having valid tests.
Hussie models will likely be responsible for the next big STD outbreak at this rate.
Pros Nothing
Cons Hires unsafe talent, the owner is a man who claims to love young ignorant âteeny boopersâ
Brian Berkenfeld aka Brian Berke & his pornstar roommate Ashley Jurs aka Charley Hart have been operating an illegal CamSoda house operation inside a gated community in Coral Springs, Florida. They did this in Coconut Creek prior back in 2017 with Riley Reynolds aka Brian Omally who was unlicensed at the time and reported to the DPBR as a porn talent agent and owner operator of Hussie Models since 2013 and was investigated and the house was shutdown.
Brian Berkenfeld has been operating as an unlicensed porn talent agent since 2004 in the State of Florida. That is a third degree felony.
Pros I like nothing about AMA Modeling as the partners of the leased house who rented to the Occupants were informed over a year and an half ago of this illegal activity but continues to allow AMA Modeling and its operators and joint companies to continue to exploit and violate pornstars and collect revenue from the short term renters and shot porn scenes inside and out the house in view of a world renown gold course. Camsoda who is owned by Mindgeek out of Western Europe and Toronto, Canada and well aware this alleged contract deal is in fact illegal.
Cons Brian Berkenfeld aka Brian Berke is also running an illegal model house rental in the same location without a hotel or AirB&B license or any type of housing license. They are violating code enforcement violations having more than 4 unrelated people residing in the home.
Riley is a flake. Won’t give you any information about your shoot. Leaves you on the back burner. doesn’t help you get tested nor answer any questions. Ghosts you when he wants but then gets angry at you for not replying without 2.5 seconds if he DOES call or text. Overall shady company that will not get you work. I got more work indie/working with other agencies. They also expect you to pay for your own wardrobe/makeup on sets and do not provide anything for you, not even your first test. Avoid if you want a long career or to actually be professional and make money
Pros nothing
Cons no communication
doesnât let you talk to other talent
flakey on shoots
doesnât help you get anything for starting your career
Me and my business partner worked for Hussie Models and were given a nice salary after negotiating. We sent 20/mo. In the 1st 2 weeks Riley tried to get out of the contract, but changed his mind when I pointed out all the errors on his part. Then a couple weeks ago he cut our pay by 80%. While working for Hussie Models it was taking 3+ mos. to even get the models we sent on the website let alone any work. I was constantly called by models to tell me they can’t get ahold of Riley. Some of these models had waited over a week for some kind of response to whether they were accepted or not. We were expected to bring in 10 models/mo. But we sent 20 models/mo. Very bookable models. I know because I was an agent for 12 years. He lost or dropped the ball on 9 models we referred to him. As for other recruiters, you won’t be paid as promised. Riley says he pays most for referral fees than any other agency but fails to tell you that it will take 6 mos. or more to get the full payment if at all. Example, we sent him a model in August, and we have only been paid $100. That means she only did one shoot. One shoot in 4 mos. I’ve been told by some of the producers themselves that warn models about joining Hussie Models. It’s a shame because I have known Riley from day one of his agency and I thought we were friends. Friends don’t treat friends this way. I was the only person in this industry that stood up for Riley when the industry turned on him from him doing Hot Girls Wanted. This is the thanks I get. Had we not done our job and not sent him 20 models/mo. I would agree and understand to our pay getting cut, but that is not what happened here. I think he offered us a great deal of money at first just to try and get us over to him, but always had in mind to cut our pay. But literally after sending him 15 models in 12 days he tried to get out of paying us. If you go with Hussie Models you won't get work, you won't be able to get a hold of anyone, you will not be explained the process and how long it takes to get started. Riley was the worst agent we ever worked for in the last 13 years. Recruiters, watch out for him. He promises $1500-$2000/per model but you won’t see that full payment in 6 mos. or more if at all. You will get $100 here and there. Other agencies pay $500-$1000/model, but you get paid in full after the models’ 1st 2 week trip. All other agencies can start their models as soon as the next day if the model wants that. Models and recruiters will not be treated well, and you will never make the money he promises. If I could rate 0 stars I would.
Pros Nice model house.
Cons Models won't get much work. Recruiters will never be paid as promised.
They trick u to sign up. I had a recruiter recruit me to Rob from 101 modeling. I had over 75 scenes before signing up with 101 modeling because my previous agency was way better and got me all the bookings. 101 modeling plays favoritism for girls who perform sexual acts on them. Rob is always wasted and lets other models answer his phone. I went to AVN and had multiple companies tell me they were trying to book me and that 101 modeling would say I was unavailable which isn't true. They were giving my jobs to other talent and keeping me stagnant on their list without getting me jobs. Rob harassed me multiple times to speak with James bartholet from galaxy publicity. He wouldn't stop and so I finally did an interview, and signed up for galaxy publicity. Little did I know 101 modeling and james bartholet are all connected. There was a rumor going around that I was a fake navy veteran and I was getting cyber bullied by alana evans and a bunch of her friends like leya falcon. I served 4 Years honorably in the united states navy. To have my navy service questioned was insulting. James told me he wanted me off galaxy publicity roster because he believed i was a fake veteran. Because he is friends with the pedophile alana evans .. and 101 modeling plays favoritism .. they told rob to remove off the 101 modeling roster without my knowledge. One day i checked and i was randomly taken off the roster. I called to ask what was going on and they never had the decency to even respond to me and when i asked for a release of contract they ignored me still to this day. I showed them my dd-214 and boot camp pics, and they made fun of my service. I'm a disabled veteran who receives VA disability. My jobs were to survive. I didn't know they had a secret agenda to try and ruin me, but I'm smart enough to expose them so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Rob lets James Bartholet help run 101 modeling and over 4 people on his roster have died since 2020. These people prey on young women who have no family or place to live and trick them into doing sexual acts. The FBI has been informed. Run far away from this agency or you could end up dead. Look for a reputable agency that actually cares about models.
Pros Nothing to be honest.
Cons Absolute unprofessionalism. Will keep you stagnant on roster. Holds contract hostage. Sends u to known rapists for bookings and says it's for a shoot. Don't answer calls. Favoritism. Linked to many deaths. Scum people
As a performer, it's OK if you're brand-new to the porn industry (in fact, they prefer that), but XXX Mgmt Team insists on working ONLY with people that carry themselves in a professional manner.
That goes for the production companies and directors that they work with, but also you, as the performer.
If you have a shoot scheduled, you BETTER answer your phone when your rep calls you the day before, or AT LEAST return their call in a timely manner. They have NO PROBLEM calling people out on bullshit or unprofessionalism, but they're not overly hardass... IF you are serious about working & earning lots of cash! You want to work with #1? You need to carry yourself like you're worthy of it.
They are VERY money motivated, but it's about the whole squad getting paid... not just the agency. They get paid when YOU get paid, so they're motivated to help you make as much as possible, as fast as possible! But they don't mess with escorting or "privates". Only legit & legal adult industry & mainstream work.
Pros Everything... what's not to like?
Cons Honestly not recommended if you're not money-motivated
Disgusting model house- black mold growing in many areas of the house -specially above the back door- I looked at these reviews before I signed with him and had no idea what "creepy couch agent" meant... well, they worded that perfectly. He never leaves his computer screen, but somehow doesn't get you ANY bookings. He'll get you enough work on your first trip to make you feel more will come.
It might! but I have experienced this first hand and I've talked to many fellow former AND CURRENT foxxx models who have the same exact problem as me-no communication -no bookings-no support ,understanding or empathy towards any models. If it doesn't involve him making money he won't care to even listen to what you have to say. Which is ironic because he WILL LOWBALL YOU! He will send you to shoots thinking one thing and it turns out to be something else.
He bullies models -talks about all of them behind their back- even his higher demand models like Emma Hix.. he said are "just too much work and not worth it" his words not mine
DO NOT SIGN WITH THIS COMPANY- he has signs in multiple areas of the house advertising Rent for Sleeping in the bushes.
To start off, I'm Dawn Brooks, I'm a camgirl and I've done porn in the past. I was contacted by John Stevens (the man who runs Matrix Models) on one of the sites I work on. He promised me tons of money, and since I live close to LA, I was able to give it a shot without risking everything.
John does everything himself. He used to have other people work for him but not anymore. I did a few shoots with him, but he never brought up a contract with me. At first he was very professional, but he kept telling me "I'll have shoots for you the week of ___" and expect me to plan a week long trip, but when I'd get up there, he wouldn't have anything and it was $900 down the drain. A lot of the other models also warned that John liked to "take you out to lunch" or let you "stay at his 'model house" (which was actually his apartment. The one he lived in. There was one other bedroom that had two beds in it. Here's a picture of the bedroom that I took: http://i.imgur.com/tx872gg.jpg but then, at the end of the month, he'd hit you with a huge bill for the things he bought "as gifts" or gas for driving you around.
I caught on fairly quickly and insisted on staying in my own hotel and driving myself, and I told him that I wouldn't leave for LA unless he could have a shoot confirmation for me at least 3 days in advance. After telling him that, I didn't hear from him again for months. Every call I made went to voicemail, never answered a text. I finally told him that I thought it was unprofessional for him to abandon me like that and left it at that. I got other jobs myself. A few months later, I noticed my picture was still up on his website. I sent him a text asking him to take it down, and he said "not until you pay me $3000." That was the first he had ever mentioned wanting money from me, and I didn't have a contract with him, so I told him absolutely not. He then told me his lawyer would "be in contact with me shortly."
Needless to say, as I never signed a contract, I never heard from "his lawyer," and told him that if he didn't take my picture down, I would report his agency to the CA Labor Commissioner. My picture was then removed from his site.
Here are the last few texts exchanged between John and myself. Notice the dates: http://imgur.com/a/99Jgq
My story is very common in the porn industry. A lot of people are looking to take advantage of young people looking to make easy money. They will pressure you into doing things you aren't comfortable with and screw you over if you hold your ground. I took a lot of precautions and didn't let anyone bully me, and at the end of the day I decided that porn isn't right for me anyway.
I hope this story is useful to anyone who wants to go into porn. I'm open to answering questions too. Thanks for reading!

Friends don’t treat friends this way. I was the only person in this industry that stood up for Riley when the industry turned on him from him doing Hot Girls Wanted. This is the thanks I get. Had we not done our job and not sent him 20 models/mo. I would agree and understand to our pay getting cut, but that is not what happened here. I think he offered us a great deal of money at first just to try and get us over to him, but always had in mind to cut our pay. But literally after sending him 15 models in 12 days he tried to get out of paying us. If you go with Hussie Models you won't get work, you won't be able to get a hold of anyone, you will not be explained the process and how long it takes to get started. Riley was the worst agent we ever worked for in the last 13 years. Recruiters, watch out for him. He promises $1500-$2000/per model but you won’t see that full payment in 6 mos. or more if at all. You will get $100 here and there. Other agencies pay $500-$1000/model, but you get paid in full after the models’ 1st 2 week trip. All other agencies can start their models as soon as the next day if the model wants that. Models and recruiters will not be treated well, and you will never make the money he promises. If I could rate 0 stars I would.
Pros
Nice model house.
Cons
Models won't get much work. Recruiters will never be paid as promised.
101 extremely DANGEROUS
Review about 101 ModelingThey trick u to sign up. I had a recruiter recruit me to Rob from 101 modeling. I had over 75 scenes before signing up with 101 modeling because my previous agency was way better and got me all the bookings. 101 modeling plays favoritism for girls who perform sexual acts on them. Rob is always wasted and lets other models answer his phone. I went to AVN and had multiple companies tell me they were trying to book me and that 101 modeling would say I was unavailable which isn't true. They were giving my jobs to other talent and keeping me stagnant on their list without getting me jobs. Rob harassed me multiple times to speak with James bartholet from galaxy publicity. He wouldn't stop and so I finally did an interview, and signed up for galaxy publicity. Little did I know 101 modeling and james bartholet are all connected. There was a rumor going around that I was a fake navy veteran and I was getting cyber bullied by alana evans and a bunch of her friends like leya falcon. I served 4 Years honorably in the united states navy. To have my navy service questioned was insulting. James told me he wanted me off galaxy publicity roster because he believed i was a fake veteran. Because he is friends with the pedophile alana evans .. and 101 modeling plays favoritism .. they told rob to remove off the 101 modeling roster without my knowledge. One day i checked and i was randomly taken off the roster. I called to ask what was going on and they never had the decency to even respond to me and when i asked for a release of contract they ignored me still to this day. I showed them my dd-214 and boot camp pics, and they made fun of my service. I'm a disabled veteran who receives VA disability. My jobs were to survive. I didn't know they had a secret agenda to try and ruin me, but I'm smart enough to expose them so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Rob lets James Bartholet help run 101 modeling and over 4 people on his roster have died since 2020. These people prey on young women who have no family or place to live and trick them into doing sexual acts. The FBI has been informed. Run far away from this agency or you could end up dead. Look for a reputable agency that actually cares about models.
Pros
Nothing to be honest.
Cons
Absolute unprofessionalism. Will keep you stagnant on roster. Holds contract hostage. Sends u to known rapists for bookings and says it's for a shoot. Don't answer calls. Favoritism. Linked to many deaths. Scum people
Very inclusive and understanding, but they do NOT tolerate any B.S.
Review about XXX Mgmt TeamAs a performer, it's OK if you're brand-new to the porn industry (in fact, they prefer that), but XXX Mgmt Team insists on working ONLY with people that carry themselves in a professional manner.
That goes for the production companies and directors that they work with, but also you, as the performer.
If you have a shoot scheduled, you BETTER answer your phone when your rep calls you the day before, or AT LEAST return their call in a timely manner. They have NO PROBLEM calling people out on bullshit or unprofessionalism, but they're not overly hardass... IF you are serious about working & earning lots of cash! You want to work with #1? You need to carry yourself like you're worthy of it.
They are VERY money motivated, but it's about the whole squad getting paid... not just the agency. They get paid when YOU get paid, so they're motivated to help you make as much as possible, as fast as possible! But they don't mess with escorting or "privates". Only legit & legal adult industry & mainstream work.
Pros
Everything... what's not to like?
Cons
Honestly not recommended if you're not money-motivated
STAY AWAY! RUN FAST
Review about Foxxx ModelingDisgusting model house- black mold growing in many areas of the house -specially above the back door- I looked at these reviews before I signed with him and had no idea what "creepy couch agent" meant... well, they worded that perfectly. He never leaves his computer screen, but somehow doesn't get you ANY bookings. He'll get you enough work on your first trip to make you feel more will come.
It might! but I have experienced this first hand and I've talked to many fellow former AND CURRENT foxxx models who have the same exact problem as me-no communication -no bookings-no support ,understanding or empathy towards any models. If it doesn't involve him making money he won't care to even listen to what you have to say. Which is ironic because he WILL LOWBALL YOU! He will send you to shoots thinking one thing and it turns out to be something else.
He bullies models -talks about all of them behind their back- even his higher demand models like Emma Hix.. he said are "just too much work and not worth it" his words not mine
DO NOT SIGN WITH THIS COMPANY- he has signs in multiple areas of the house advertising Rent for Sleeping in the bushes.
Pros
None
Cons
Everything
A Warning if You Are Looking at Matrix Models
Review about Matrix ModelsTo start off, I'm Dawn Brooks, I'm a camgirl and I've done porn in the past. I was contacted by John Stevens (the man who runs Matrix Models) on one of the sites I work on. He promised me tons of money, and since I live close to LA, I was able to give it a shot without risking everything.
John does everything himself. He used to have other people work for him but not anymore. I did a few shoots with him, but he never brought up a contract with me. At first he was very professional, but he kept telling me "I'll have shoots for you the week of ___" and expect me to plan a week long trip, but when I'd get up there, he wouldn't have anything and it was $900 down the drain. A lot of the other models also warned that John liked to "take you out to lunch" or let you "stay at his 'model house" (which was actually his apartment. The one he lived in. There was one other bedroom that had two beds in it. Here's a picture of the bedroom that I took: http://i.imgur.com/tx872gg.jpg but then, at the end of the month, he'd hit you with a huge bill for the things he bought "as gifts" or gas for driving you around.
I caught on fairly quickly and insisted on staying in my own hotel and driving myself, and I told him that I wouldn't leave for LA unless he could have a shoot confirmation for me at least 3 days in advance. After telling him that, I didn't hear from him again for months. Every call I made went to voicemail, never answered a text. I finally told him that I thought it was unprofessional for him to abandon me like that and left it at that. I got other jobs myself. A few months later, I noticed my picture was still up on his website. I sent him a text asking him to take it down, and he said "not until you pay me $3000." That was the first he had ever mentioned wanting money from me, and I didn't have a contract with him, so I told him absolutely not. He then told me his lawyer would "be in contact with me shortly."
Needless to say, as I never signed a contract, I never heard from "his lawyer," and told him that if he didn't take my picture down, I would report his agency to the CA Labor Commissioner. My picture was then removed from his site.
Here are the last few texts exchanged between John and myself. Notice the dates: http://imgur.com/a/99Jgq
My story is very common in the porn industry. A lot of people are looking to take advantage of young people looking to make easy money. They will pressure you into doing things you aren't comfortable with and screw you over if you hold your ground. I took a lot of precautions and didn't let anyone bully me, and at the end of the day I decided that porn isn't right for me anyway.
I hope this story is useful to anyone who wants to go into porn. I'm open to answering questions too. Thanks for reading!
