Mario Adrion I'm dead when you put bye felisha on the screen 😂

[@noticiascvoce]

You are a great speaker !!! Your english is really good !!!!!

[@paulozandar3447]

I'm glad someone has brought up a thought that Mario is conflictingly saying things where he's indulged himself to be harssed in the first place, and the fact that he enjoys gaybaiting soo much. Realize this! not all GAYS will tolerate your indecency and using us to your own advantage

[@bliss9595]

You are so brave to post this

[@marioadrion]

Thanks gored for ur amazing support!!

[@iusandthefoods]

He is !

[@marklouieabcedereyes8891]

are you also a model?

[@abdultikasdalandas6703]

Because mario is now consider as full time youtuber and his earning more than modeling. So he deosn't care about the industry.

[@70italiana]

my son is beautiful and everyone tells me he should do modeling. thank you for telling the truth that can help others.

[@millevenon5853]

Keep him safe. Advise him not to be naive. Keep his guard up

[@YabadabadooMrMagoo]

I was approached as a 16 year old to model. My parents told the scouts HELL NO ! They were aware of the sexual risks.

@@nottexasig It happens there too, just in a different way. Yeah, it might happen less but still...

[@SkytopTheDancer]

i feel like this is gonna get viral, you did something good mario, a lot of young models and people that have experienced the same thing will be know that they're not the only ones and that they also have the right to say no. also for the ones who want to pursue a modeling career will be more aware of this issue, great job!

[@marklouieabcedereyes8891]

are you a model ?

[@tyyoutube67]

Your first shoot and mine are very similar 😞 thank you for telling people about this

[@marioadrion]

Thanks for ur amazing support!!

[@mart1176]

Thinking about it it's actually kinda scary how they shamelessly demand things like this. You really are brave to talk about this stuff 👏

[@ImYourDad13]

Kudos for standing up for those models who are uncomfortable speaking about this! I'm not a model or aspiring to be one (you just make it interesting to me because of your personality) but I'm pretty this will help a lot of aspiring and young models out there who are planning to set out to big modelling cities around the world. :)

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

Thanks for sharing this story Mario!

[@reynaldoaquino3910]

I like how you are direct and telling the truth about the behind the scenes of a models life. As a designer I respect my models and make sure the photographers I work with has that same respect to the people we shoot in my designs. I want the model leaving the set happy and that having to work with each other was an honor in both sides.

[@iusandthefoods]

You deserved 1M subscribers! This is a brave statement! You'll be known worldwide someday ! God bless

[@raytool7036]

Yes, God bless him for this.

[@suvojeetdas]

it's very good to speak your heart out.

[@zakaryscott]

Cheeks ❤️ I agree

[@littlemen9917]

I agree

[@lucsantlaurent3030]

I'm so glad you talk about that because I always wanted to be a model, but never know all the risk that comes to it. I'm in Haiti and thank you again

[@JermaineHarper1]

A VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC!!!! Thanks for making this Mario.

[@davidl2569]

When you offer quality you should demand it back also. Never think that you're easily replaceable and always remember that you're getting paid with the money you earned for them. So, they need you as much as you need them.

[@David-ut4qd]

I’m so sorry and sad to hear about your harassment and the emotional abuse that these guys of power inflict on young men that are at a point in their life that they are still figuring out their own values and self worth. I’m glad you’re strong enough to stand up for yourself and your career was not ruined each time you were harassed. Your friend Travis also told similar stories, and the loss of money that’s also inflicted on you guys, even by your own agents. Your story, if only one male model hears it, is invaluable. Good luck in all your future endeavors.

[@curiousoxymoron6156]

How come this things still in the industry? As a lot of people experiencing this kind of harassment maybe it's time to stand for them rights, it's 2017 and alot of people could understand more about this matter and go against this sexual predators

[@marioadrion]

Not every photographer or Designer does it- it is still only a small percentage but they usually get away with it thats why I want to talk about it. :-) thanks for ur comment

[@curiousoxymoron6156]

Mario Adrion well yeah applaud you for telling the truth 🙂👍🏼 maybe at least they will somehow watch this type of vlogs and be slapped in the face and wake up that this is not and shouldn't be a norm 💩💩

[@jackfntwist]

It's a very small percentage. And unfortunately it tends to be a couple of the most influential. And thank you for differentiating that it's "the way" they do it and "the intent" is for their own arousal. I'm a photographer (not hugely influential), and I love to shoot body, and implied nudes, rarely artistic nudes with models who are comfortable (I never push). I would never publish artistic nudes without specific consent (ever). I also ask them to put lotion on, and sometimes help, but only like save areas. lol. For me it's purely for everything to fit a creative vision. Even if the vision is very sexy, the shoot itself is not sexual. Usually sweating and carrying heavy equipment all day. Hard work. But it pays off with models who are easy going (most) make it easier, and we get great shots / publicity. For me it has rarely been awkward - maybe once or twice, with beginners who don't understand the purpose, and got really freaked out. I don't know. What do you think about a photographer's perspective? Good topic for 2017.

[@jackfntwist]

It's not the norm. It happens. I think it's a small %.

[@zakaryscott]

Curious Oxymoron true

[@shaumildeb9707]

Respect brother! Your fans are always here for you❤️

[@adarshgujadhur650]

Thanks for telling the truth, I was waiting for you to come out with this video, I knew there was something shady going on in that industry ever since I watched Travis' video and actually wept for him because his story was so sincere and terrifying. I'm glad you weren't exploited the way other male/female models have been in this industry, I bet you are one of the lucky ones.

[@Lety-Ferreira]

I have a close friend who went through the same experience and she almost gave up modeling because she was scared it would happen again...it's really sad how people think it's okay to take advantage of you just because they have power.

[@SABOREAME68]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is so "Me Too" movement, this dude took advantage of your good nature is just sad that this does occur, thanks for sharing...... Abrazos

[@josephdelizo1729]

Main point - follow your instinct ☺ Well done, Mario!

[@PuffOfSmoke]

There will always be a sexual predators that will try to take advantage of someone's na·ive·té. The question is, what's the modelling industry doing about it? Do you guys have a union that helps you with problems like this?

I am glad you came out with this story.. you should out this new york photographer , this is sick -- do not do it, when you feel comfortable

[@danw4650]

Thank you for showing us the side of the fashion industry, and for your bravery to have made a video on such topic. One single video may not change a thing, but putting more voices out there will make a big difference.

[@provider20091]

Mario, keep it up! No matter what kind of stuff you film - the thing that hooks people up is your openness, charisma, simplicity and personality at all!

[@OLDS98]

Powerful video. I have heard this story from so many male models. You are speaking the truth. There are some who left the industry. There are some who spoke the truth like you. You are right about having self worth. Stand in your truth. People just do not see the truth behind the industry and what it really takes to get where you are. I appreciate you sharing.

[@grahammacdonald42]

When I first heard about you I could never imagine subscribing to a male model KZbin channel but, here I am. I'm glad! Your honesty and charisma are a breath of fresh air on KZbin. I hope you continue to pursue a career in acting because I think you've got something there to give us all. Thanks for inspiring my friend who told me about you bro!

Absolutely man. I totally agree with your talk. 🙌✌

[@lucaiacopino1277]

I love you, you're so natural and you tell us always the truth. You're so brave, you managed to overcome every problem of yours job! Some people like you could open a brand new agency for models which is respectful of the people who ask for a job, I think that you will be rewarded by the world of fashion.

[@jennielildemon4578]

Thank you for sharing your story Mario.. I know it is tough to tell people your past experience with sexual harrasment

[@worlaliawakame762]

I got an internship on Friday. Started working on Monday. On Tuesday a worker grabbed my penis. I reported it three months later cause I was forcing myself to forget it. He denied everything. Accused me of trying to destroy his reputation. Made me the problem. I won't be silent

[@mdkutzler8495]

A good PSA (public service announcement) Mario. Hopefully some young aspiring model will see this video and will in the future remember that they are not just a piece of meat to some overweight balding photographer.

[@TCTALKSTCFITNESS]

I did a nude shoot as well, shit was a shocker for me and made me second guess if i wanted to do modeling. I did briefs and shower shoots as well. The shoots came out dope but i havent done a shoot since then. It opened my eyes to the modeling industry i do wanna continue this cause when you do things that make you uncomfortable it helps you grow. I barely told anyone that i did a nude shoot

[@tompham8039]

Imagine women models have to go through. I think it’s worse.

[@jules4388]

Modeling should be a side job

[@stepchild8100]

It is....

[@rosscour]

So brave......You are absolutely right,those photographers should be indeed grateful for taking your photos....Stay strong Mario

[@d.e.t4147]

I worked in Los Angeles as a makeup artist for about 8 years and have witnessed things like this first hand to models from some pretty big photographers. It’s even happened to ME as a makeup artist from photographers and other more established artists that have power and influence. ANYONE in that industry that has power and influence, wether they are a photographer, makeup artist, hairstylist, wardrobe stylist, an agent can use that, and a lot of them do, to get people to sleep with them. So it happens to models who work in front of the camera. But it can also happen to anyone who works behind the scenes. The weird thing is most just accept that as part of the industry like it’s no big deal.

[@theone-oj6he]

Your teaching can apply to any carrier in any field. Thanks Mario!

Ugh this happened to me too when I was 19. And turned me off from modeling. And ruined me and made me very insecure in my 20’s... thank you for posting this. So true...

[@joho9815]

Mario, I subscribe to your channel. I'm really glad that you posted this video. I'm not a model but I've done some modeling in the past. I'm really glad you pointed out the reality of the modeling world because most of us think it's so glamorous we only see the exterior. It's really nice to have somebody from the inside. Tell us what it's really like. I think it's very important to stay in touch with reality and your video helps us do that. Thank you

[@linoalamour]

1) Thank you very much Mario for your storytime. I'm working on cinema and unfortunately, it's very similar as your model's world... It's something typical in the art universe i guess... 2) If i were you, i shall rename your video : "[STORYTIME] : Sexual harassment, The Ugly Truth about the Modeling Industry" because we LOVE the STORYTIME and yours is very emotionally sad 3) I can't wait to see you again in your next video ! Beauty is ephemeral, but charm is eternal. Your soul is pure and that's why i really appreciate you ! I wish you the best, and i hope you'll become famous to not having anymore some kind of staff like that... Keep on truckin ! Huge hug ! :)

I'm a beginner model and that video helps me a lot 🖤😌

[@betelgezaa]

Yes. A very sincere truth about modelling. He didn’t say something more - once the pictures are taken they are presented to “rich” people who order selected models for sex and pay a lot to the agency which shares with the models. The biggest money the model gets come from having sex with rich people via a modelling agency.

This topic of what really happens sexual harassment as a male model. I’m glad that you made this post for KZbin so people can understand like you say what really goes on with mongols. If this video whoever it may be watching owe a lot to you alot to you!. The models are the ones in charge of their destiny in life. If only they could follow your examples in your impulses what is right and what is wrong they will go a long ways in life just like you. I look forward to watching your next video. Sincerely Abel

[@jackfntwist]

Part of being a great photographer (or any artist) is being able to have a creative vision, but also have a good relationship and communication with your model, so that there is good energy only, and everyone is comfortable, and happy. You have to also know if the chemistry is just not right, either one can walk away. If it's right, you can help each other's careers, hopefully.

[@DanielGomez-gc7ot]

Good for you for letting everybody know, I love that you just say how it is I'll keep watching.

Idk anymore tbh, i want to be a model but i dnt wanna go into all of these problems and all the taxes and shit. Plus i dnt think ill be able to compete with so many rising male models, im thinking of just focusing on finishing my senior year and getting more known on social media for now. I can always keep on taking pics and stuff on my own without being a model, but i also kinda wanna shoot for magazins and popular things too idk

[@b09moisesdennisandrea.39]

Hey Mario hope you'll post daily . I'm such a fan of you vlogs. ur such a beautiful speaker to teenagers like us

[@knockshinnoch1950]

Another excellent video. So many naive young models/actors/musicians get caught up in the seedy underbelly of the industry- sex and drugs- "I'm gonna make you a star kid if you let me.... (fill in the blank). Unfortunately it would appear that this kind of predatory behaviour is the norm rather than the exception. It is a real abuse of trust and power. You present yourself as an intelligent liberal minded mature grounded young guy with a good set of morals who could charm the birds off the trees and therefore be able to handle most awkward situations. Its also probably safe to say that you are very aware of your own professional persona which you use to your advantage- the "is he isn't he" homo erotic/straight "no labels" persona.All part of your charm!

[@janmichaels8550]

Mario you hit it out of The park you are so right on I used to model for crazy shirts in Hawaii and other small jobs but what you said is the total truth we all have been taking advantage of in some way but thanks for bringing it out in the open in such a classy way you are a good guy thanks Mario....😉👍

[@earlparma5080]

I dont know. But i do respect your opinion. Celebs, models or corporate jobs either way we all experience this. Its only a case of maturity and moral values and how secure are you with yourself. In the end what matters is how fast you reach your goals regardless of the odds and risks you took. Its 2017, gender and sexuality is evolving

[@earlparma5080]

In short. It depends on the choices you make

[@omarcauntongan9708]
