Marcus Blassingame TSD Agency BlackMen Magazine Marcus Blassingame who claims to be a licensed talent agent stole my money and provided no model. Internet

In response to Marcus Blassingame’s rebuttal, which was posted on ripoffreport.com on Wednesday, July 23, 2014.  First let me state that I have not thought about this thief since the day that I filed a motion to cancel the case on September 23, 2010.  I was recently alerted by email when he posted several lies on a complaint board.  Thus, I decided to take a couple minutes to shut the liar down.  Marcus Blassingame – both thief and liar – holds no validity in what he writes. 

However, first I have to address the fact that in the second and third paragraph of his remedial rebuttal Marcus displays that he is a RAT.  The goofy dude SNITCHES on the coward Charges Gardner of IEC STUDIOS.  It is one thing to be a thief and a liar, but being a RAT displays that Marcus Blassingame is a completely lower form on pond scum than that of your typical conman.  In an attempt to make himself appear correct, THE RAT threw Charles Gardner of IEC STUDIOS under the bus.  Nevertheless, the truth is the truth and five years later the facts still haunt this RAT.

Marcus Blassingame’s complete rebuttal does not make sense.  I have posted the official court documents which prove that Blassingame is a lair.  These documents are public record and anyone can obtain them from the Denver Court House located at 1437 Bannock Street Denver, CO - formerly on 1515 Cleveland Place (Case Number 10C13868).  The facts of the case are simple arithmetic. 

1. I gave Charles Gardner of IEC STUDIOS www.iecstudios.com $850 in which everyone agrees and is well documented.  This was the required deposit to have Suelyn Medeiros promote the event.  The remaining money would be provided upon her arrival in Denver, which is standard practice in the industry. 

2. Charles Gardner of IEC STUDIOS agreed to pay for Suelyn’s to travel from LA to Denver, then from Denver back to LA (See posted Model Booking Agreement).

3. Marcus Blassingame and Charles Gardner stole the money and provided no model and have been trying for five years to come up with a good excuse as to why they breached the contract and stole the money.

The math is 1+2+3 = Marcus Blassingame and Charles Gardner are THIEVES.

Marcus has now stated that I tried to contact Suelyn Medeiros and then disappeared.  How stupid does that sounds?  Marcus the RAT states in his own post that I paid the deposit, tried to contact Suelyn, and then disappeared.  Yet, I have time stamped online complaints, emails, phone records, and filed a lawsuit. How did I disappear?  Is Marcus Blassingame really this stupid???   

Marcus Blassingame further states that the court ruled against me.  Another lie.  Obviously, Marcus Blassingame, Charles Gardner, and myself were in disagreement over their breach of contract and stealing my money.  We agreed to go to court as I would sue them for the money they stole from me and they would countersue for slander.  I filed the lawsuit and had Marcus and Charles properly served.  However, the Friday before the scheduled hearing Charles Gardner filed a Request for Continuance stating that he was in a bad financial situation (see post for financial hardship).  Further, Charles called me via phone practically crying saying that he performed some photography work for BlackMen Magazine www.blackmendigital.com and Marcus would not allow him to receive his check nor allow him any additional work until this case was finalized.  Charles further went on to state that he had no money to pay his rent or other bills. 

After hearing Charles Gardner of IEC STUDIOS cry over the phone in addition to his filing a Request for Continuance because of his financial situation I realized that:

1. These thieves did not want to go to court.  They repeatedly stated that I was slandering their name and they were going to sue me in court.  Everything was already set up, all they had to do was present their case for slander and, if successful, they could ask the judge to award expenses for their travel.  However, once the court case was filed, Marcus and Charles ran like sissies. 

2. I realized that it would cost me $5,000 - $10,000 in my time and opportunity cost to get back the $850 that they stole from me. 

3. I also realized that it would cost me $5,000 - $10,000 to actually go through the process of collecting the money from these thieves once I was awarded the judgment. 

4. Therefore, on September 23, 2010 I filed a Motion to Cancel with the court (see Post for Motion to Cancel).  The ironic part is that in the motion I stated that “I hope that karma will deal with these two individuals.”  And I believe it has.  Five years later, the case still haunts Marcus Blassingame.   Charles was made to look like a fool as his own partner in crime SNITCHED on him.  All for an $850 score.

5. On September 29, 2010 the judge awarded my Motion to Cancel.

As is exemplified, in line item 1 the judge states “As Plaintiff wishes to ‘cancel’ case.”  Then in item 2 further states “the answer does not contain a counter claim.”  As anyone with a third grade education can see, this case was canceled by me for the reasons listed above.  There is nothing that can be disputed.  Anyone can call the Denver County Court or go to the court house to view the file.  Marcus Blassingame is clearly lying.  

Lastly, Marcus Blassingame is stating that I, as he labels a “Weirdo,” am still stalking him over small change.  I have not initialed any contact with THE RAT since I filed the motion to cancel.  How stupid would that be?  I file a motion to kill the case so I did not have to waste any more time with it yet I would still continue to try and collect?  The reality of the matter is that Marcus Blassingame is a thief and the facts of this case are easy to believe for anyone that knows him.  He is still posting about this nearly five years later.  

When I initially posted an online complaint, at least 20 people contacted me explaining that Marcus is a snake.  Most of which were models, photographers, and bloggers.  Also, two legitimate editors from magazines that apparently Marcus and BlackMen Magazine www.blackmendigital.com aspire to be like, contacted me as well.  These editors explained that Marcus is a scum and most people of any significance will not work with him.  These two editors have told me that BlackMen Magazine is a raggedy magazine that is stapled together and looks like it is organized by an elementary student.  In any event, Marcus is a thief and he has no way to dispute the facts. 

Facts are facts.  Five years later Marcus Blassingame and Charles Gardner are still trying to lie their way out of them.  However, it is obvious that people believe these two to be thieves.  Why else would they spend so much time formulating lies in hopes of convincing people they did not steal the money?  On Sep 23, 2010 I filed a Motion to Cancel and on 9-29-2010 the judge granted the Motion.  The cowards Marcus Blassingame and Charles Gardner did not have the courage to file a countersuit and sue for slander and they were too scared to show up to court.  They simply told the court that they did not have the finances to attend the hearing. 

Apparently, nothing has changed over the past five years.  Marcus Blassingame is still an old man with a boy’s mentality.   His lies are not even good.  For someone who works so hard at lying, you would think he could be a little more creative than saying I disappeared and that is why he stole the money.  This old man is hilarious.

(((REDACTED))) is where any unscrupulous non professional can post a non truth and get away with it.

The fact is Charles Gardner (a photographer, not an agent) made the mistake of negotiating for Suelyn without first contacting her agency.

Suelyn was not happy with the terms that Charles negotiated, especially because some of her money went into his pocket.

I as Suelyn's rep at the time was brought into the middle of the negotiation.

We sent over her actual legitimate rider and terms, Travis Bedore (The promoter) signed and agreed to them.
He made the deposit (through Charles), it went to the model, (who's name is very credible).
Travis was then caught attempting to contact her direct, which is against agency client protocol. No model travels to a strange city without an extra travel party. He attempted to circumvent that rule. She shut him down. He disappeared which caused him to forfeit his deposit as per the contract that he signed. Next thing you know he posted this false accusation on (((REDACTED))). He attempted to file it and the court ruled against him, I have the paperwork, end of story.

Before you believe anything on these rant boards and blogs, make sure it is legitimate and find out what the courts rule on the subject. This case was thrown out. It happened five years ago, yet this weirdo is still stalking me over small change that the model was entitled and paid and is of little value to me.

This false accusation should be removed. It indeed is Slander.

Marcus Blassingame

Charles, you take being a coward to a whole new level.  You faxed a letter to the court saying you did not have enough money to make it to the court appearance, you also emailed me saying your money is not where is should be and that is why you could not appear at the trial. I can post both of these documents up if you want. The plaintiff (me) filed a motion to cancel after your sob stories.  Now, you are acting like you went to court, the judge heard the case and decided in your favor.  You have no backbone.  You could not even show up to court. And yes, you stole my money.

As for slander when you are dirty and I call you dirty that is not slander.  Furthermore, slander is the spoken, libel is written.  If you are referring to the legitimate complaints about Charles Gardner, IEC Studios, Marcus Blassingame, and TSD Agency and how they stole my money, they are all in written form.  Slander???  More importantly, you have said He can keep filing complaints its not hurting my business.  Then what would you be suing for???

I dont believe much of anything you say and cant image anyone else would either.  However, as for needing legal counsel when dealing with Charles Gardner or IEC Studios that is 100 percent correct.  When Charles Gardner steals your money, legal counsel is a must.

Whether you could not make the court appearance because you have no money (Karma) or because you were just playing games trying to get out of going to court (liar) it is apparent that you DO BAD BUSINESS!

As of 10/05/10 Denver county court. Courtroom #3 has vacated Mr. Bedores claim and dismissed the case. Anyone can contact the court
clerk and see that this is true. I would like to ask this site to
please remove this complaint which is intended to slander my name. Case #
10C13868 Thank you.
