Though he is currently behind bars facing 11 felon charges for crimes ranging from gun possession to parole violations, viral Internet sensation Jeremy Meeks is seeking to reap the benefits of his well-received face. He was recently offered a modeling contract with Los Angeles-based Blaze Models.
According to TMZ, the 30-year-old criminal has his ex-porn star agent, Gina Rodriguez, to thank. Rodriguez, who is quite the experienced entertainment manager, oversees clients including "Octomom" Nadya Suleman, Farrah Abraham and, most recently, Donald Sterling's much talked about ex-girlfriend, V. Stiviano.
While this certainly may serve as some positive news once he is released from the San Joaquin County Jail, where he currently resides, Meeks first needs an exit plan as he is being held at $1.1 million in bail.
"I'm not exactly sure why it's so much money," Rodriguez told Fox News. "We're trying to secure him some of these deals so that when he gets out, it can change his life, literally."
The modeling agency said that because the "gangster look" is so "hot right now," Meeks could make between $15,000 and $30,000 a month as a professional model.
And millions of young American women would willingly provide him some “entertainment.”
I knew the USA was ruled by shallowness and self-absorbtion, but this is really going too far.
What’s inside a person, ethics, morals, character, no longer matters. What matters is the package. The window dressing. The appearance.
Nailed it.
My dad was short statured as well. But man oh man did he get angry if someone hurt his little girl. And like your father, would not let me leave the house with a boy who wouldn’t come ring the bell and show himself.
The older I get, the more I appreciate who my dad was.
God bless your Pops and all the other great fathers.
If the guy was in jail for a minor infraction or even a DUI, I would not care so much. But for him to get a modeling contract in jail for the crime he did is outrageous.
According to the DailyMail, he is already married to a white woman and has a couple of kids. His mother is white. His brother, who resembles him, said the guy had been trying to turn his life around since having the little kids. So this is a mess for that family. It's a long shot, but he does have a facial structure and coloring that in an ideal world would be worth hundreds of thousands for the next ten or fifteen years or longer, if only he could live appropriately (and get those tats lasered off). But the modeling world is also full of drugs, sexual extremes, the temptations of being on the road, etc, so he would still have to walk a fine line. Pity those children.
