My story

It has been brought to my attention that Elena Bathory has been blaming myself and another model for her FB photos, and those of her associates and affiliates, from being reported and deleted. It has also been brought to my attention that she is making FB posts asking anyone who wants to know who is causing her this damage to message her and she will warn them about us. I will only speak for myself here because Holly does just fine speaking for herself and I thought I would let you know MY experience with her and hear MY story.

I met Elena years ago and we have negative history that goes back before I started modeling. Immediately after I started modeling, the trouble began. One of the first things I did was enter a myspace competition. We both competed in that same contest, Miss Brutal Hardcore Beauty 2010. Upon seeing the horrible, slanderous comments that she was leaving on the other models' pages and also saw that she was attempting to riot the other models into getting me kicked out of the competition, I contacted the owner of the site and she admitted that Elena had been bothering her nonstop about me and was told to knock it off. I won the contest :)

Then she started cut throating me. She succeeded in costing me a job modeling shoes because she was friends with the proprietor and after seeing that she hired me, told her to fire me. The first band I ever performed live with told me that she was continuously contacting them asking for my job and offering to do it for less money. They at least had the integrity of honoring our agreement and I enjoyed several performances with them. She tried to have me banned from UltraVixens.net (a modeling social site) by fingering me as the one behind a fake and derogatory profile of her. I received a warning from an admin and had to stand trial for a crime I didn't commit.  There have been other similar incidents where she has tried to take my job (or blacklist me) with lots of circumstantial evidence but nothing concrete so I won't list them. Besides, it's not necessary. You guys get the point. She was monitoring my page. I simply stopped sharing news about gigs until after they were completed. This is a practice I still employ to this day. I won't announce impending projects out of concern that she will do this again. I have not had any problems finding or keeping work since then. 

I thought this was the stupidest thing I'd ever seen and I didn't know how to handle it. I tried ignoring her hoping she would grow bored and leave me alone. Nope. Although I could never genuinely like her as a person, I thought maybe the smart thing to do was befriend her. I sent her a FR on FB along with a peace offering message. Shortly after that I started having problems with my photos and profile being deleted. I had hundreds of pics removed and my pages were deleted at least 8 times. No, I'm not exaggerating. Although I never ruled it out, I really didn't think she was behind it and kept up the charade of our friendship until I started getting messages from fans telling me that she was asking her fans and friends (we have a lot of mutual fans and friends, even still) to report my content and that she was behind my FB misfortune. Could they have been lying? Possibly. But too many people that didn't know each other were giving me the exact same story and were asking me why I was friends with someone who was stabbing me in the back.

At that point I'd had it. She denies that she has done any of this with the exception of the Wild Child Footwear gig, which she admitted she was behind. I can't make her confess, and I know I can't prove to you that what I'm saying is the truth but that's not why I'm writing this. I'm writing this because I know it's the truth and if Elena feels the need to "warn" people about me, I should have the opportunity to be heard as well. I need to say to anyone who cares to hear it, I have not and am not reporting any of her photos or pages. I am not even aware of what happens to her until after I hear from someone else that I'm being blamed for it. The same goes for anyone that she's associated with. I am not even aware that they exist until the buzz reaches me that I'm being accused of harassing them. I implore those of you that are being told by Elena that I am harassing you to please think for yourself before you start publicly accusing and threatening someone just because she says it was me. I have 4+ jobs, studies, and an active social life and I don't have time to stalk everyone that works with or supports her. I think it's ridiculous that anyone she meets is immediately turned against me without me even knowing who they are. I must speak out when I'm being named and targeted like this. Anyone who treats me with respect and dignity will receive the same from me, whether you're friends with Elena or not. Please don't allow anything you hear about me to mislead you. 

Thanks for reading. Anyone who wishes to contact me can feel free to leave me a message on FB. http://www.facebook.com/gwen666.

  4. Sometimes somebody says..."Any kind of publicity is good"... in some way is true... in others is completely false... In your case may be a mix of both...I don't know you or Elena but I love your pics, and now I'm one of your followers, so...nice job you know you're gorgeous so keep on with the amazing job!...

    Good vibe!
