Elite Model Management

13 had not ever appeared before in any case, and French authorities have already looked into other French figures in the modeling industries.

Magistrates previously dropped an investigation into Gerald Marie, the former European head of Elite Modeling Agency, now in, in his mid-70s.

Several women have now urged new investigations targeting him since the files have been released.

And well, French police w- were also investigating Jean-Luc Brunel, if you recall.

to Erica and John Casablanca.

That would be John Casablanca, the American modeling agent and scout who founded Elite Model Management, credited with inventing the supermodel.

Also the father of front man for the strokes.

Never heard of him.

No, I think everyone, all the parents, I mean, didn't know.

I mean, I know of many parents that would line up their girls to meet with John Casablanca at Elite Models and when they go into the room, they were sexually assaulted before they came out, you know, to go back with their parents.

John Casablanca, who was tall and good looking and charming and everybody loved him, Yeah, Gérald Marie, Jean-Luc Brunel, you know, all these big agents who, you know, they were assaulting a lot of girls.

I mean, this is a known fact.

So she signs with Elite and she moves to New York City in 1984.

She's testing, and even though shit does not happen for her right away, John Casablancas, the founder of Elite Management, likes her.

John Casablancas is also the father of Julian Casablancas of The Strokes.

Don't forget it.

There is about as much chance of that happening as me hitting megabucks later on tonight.

For managers at Elite Models, sexual predation was allegedly a twisted game played with clubhouse jocularity, say media accounts.

And of course, that's, you know, look, that's what these guys do, right? These powerful dudes sit around and they talk about their conquests or they talk about so-and-so that they have basically enslaved to them.

Because remember, as we've talked about many, many times, these people don't have the same get-offs that we do, right? You or I, we go to the casino, we put down 200 bucks on the table.

But then I got rejection after rejection.

And Carrie was with Elite Modeling Agency.

And I remember being about 25 and being in their waiting area.

And Cindy Crawford was there.

They met in, like, 95 when, like, Jean-Luc Brunel is living in Trump Tower.

When John Casablancas is, you know, has worked as a mentor with Paolo and let him do, you know, like, elite models in 1994 in Ibiza.

Comes to the United States, gets immersed into the New York modeling scene.

Donald Trump shortly after has Trump models.

I released an article talking about another woman in Brazil, a woman in Brazil who was supposedly recruiting for Jeffrey.

She has an apartment that she, Jeffree sold her in 2005 and she still owns it in present day.

And just very interconnected with Jeffree starting in 2002, signed to Elite Models in 2002.

Just like... worked her way seemed to be like, not like she was coming here.

I moved to London in 2013.

I went to Elite Models.

Take me under.

[upbeat music] Take me under.
