What Do Mark Wahlberg, Ben Affleck And Bruce Willis Do? Prostituition?
In a tell all story, the madam who provided escort services to some of Hollywoods’ biggest name wrote a tell all book and even published the names of some of the people who had used her services. So much for private and confidential.
It really goes to show that many guys even those big and famous people would seek services from one of the world’s oldest profession. Politician names were named. Everyone. During her court case a few years ago, many would expect names to be named but unfortunately all the names were blackened out. Now that the evidence has seen daylight, it is rather interesting to see the names on her website.
So any other busybodies out there?
Read all about it here.
WHEN Jody ‘Babydol’ Gibson moved to Hollywood in 1984, she hoped to embark on a singing career that would make her famous. She eventually succeeded in getting her name in the papers, but not in the way she had hoped.
Ms Gibson ended up becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest madams, managing hundreds of prostitutes with a client list that included some of Tinseltown’s biggest names.
After spending two years in jail for running her prostitution ring, the 48-year-old is back hunting for fame - this time as an author of a tell-all book in which she names several major stars who have apparently used her services.
Among those being dragged through the mud are actors Ben Affleck, Bruce Willis and Mark Wahlberg. She names them on her website, www.supermadamsecrets.com.
In her book, Secrets Of A Hollywood Madam, she writes about Willis asking her for ‘five hot girls’ and Affleck’s ’steamy night’ with a girl named Alyssa.
COURTROOM EVIDENCE
She’s backing up her claims with records like her appointment book and payment log, which were entered in court as evidence in her trial eight years ago.Before she was caught, Ms Gibson had built up an escort service empire called California Dreamin’, which charged wealthy customers up to US$3,000 ($4,600) for her services.
Her website allowed potential clients to look at photos of her girls.
At her peak, Ms Gibson was believed to have had over 300 models and porn stars working for her, with clients in both the US and Europe.
The money she made from the escort service went into funding her music career.
One of her songs, Good Girls Go To Heaven Bad Girls Go Everywhere, was apparently a hit in Bali, according to Westside Today, a Los Angeles magazine.
Ms Gibson was arrested in 1999 in a sting where an undercover policewoman posed as a prostitute and approached her for work.
The media had a field day when the case went to court, hoping that lawyers would reveal names of actors, producers, professional athletes and company CEOs who may have used her services.
But this never happened.
No names were ever mentioned and prosecutors blacked out those in publicly available court records, reported the Los Angeles Times (LAT).
Critics were quick to accuse then-District Attorney Gil Garcetti of trying to shield his associates from embarrassment.
These records, which were recently unsealed and released uncensored, were found to contain many of the names Ms Gibson mentions in her book.
The documents revealed that Ms Gibson’s black book included the names of two men who were major contributors to Mr Garcetti’s 2000 re-election effort.
They are Mr Maurice Marciano, founder of fashion company Guess Inc, and Mr Steven Roth, producer of movie Last Action Hero which starred current California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Mr Marciano has vehemently denied any links to Ms Gibson.
‘This is beyond belief,’ he told LAT.
‘I can’t imagine how my name got mixed up in this. Who is she? That’s a very gutsy lie for someone to tell, don’t you think?’
An LAT reporter also contacted Mr Roth by calling a handphone number in Ms Gibson’s black book.
When told that she had listed him among her clients, Mr Roth asked: ‘Is that right?’
He then hung up.
Mr Garcetti, now president of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission, said he had ‘absolutely zero recall of this case’.
The need to protect prominent personalities is the reason why Ms Gibson believes that she was put in the Central California Women’s Facility at Chowchilla, a maximum-security prison where she was battered by another inmate.
‘I think the reason I was put in a maximum security jail was because they were afraid that I was going to get out and do exactly what I’m doing right now - which is writing the book,’ Ms Gibson, who was released in 2002, told Westside Today.
‘I really think they were hoping that I would get killed.
‘There was no excuse for me to be in a Level 4 maximum security facility when there were minimum security facilities that I was scheduled for.’
After her release from jail, she started a clothing line named Babydol, something she said she never aspired to do.
But when she went around in jeans with pink faux fur trimmings that she had designed for her own use, many approached her asking where they could get it from.
It prompted her to start her own clothing line.
Talking about her past, she said that ‘I can’t change what has happened but I think there’s so much more to it than just a madam story’.
And that story is what she has put in her book. Even though their names have appeared in the uncensored court documents, most of the other celebrities contacted by LAT denied having anything to do with Ms Gibson. Instead, they have accused her of exploiting their fame to boost her book sales.
Through lawyer Marty Singer, Armageddon star Willis denied that he knew Ms Gibson, let alone patronised her services. ‘The story is a complete fabrication,’ Mr Singer said. ‘(Willis) doesn’t know this woman. He has never even spoken to her.’ Mr Tom Lasorda, former manager of the Dodgers baseball team, also denied knowing her.
THREATS TO SUE
‘I have never heard of this woman and don’t know why she would accuse me of something like this,’ Mr Lasorda said in a statement issued by lawyer Tony Capozzola.‘But if she prints these lies, I intend to sue.’
Only Steve Jones, former guitarist for punk icons Sex Pistols, admitted that he might have used her services. ‘It’s possible,’ he said. ‘I crossed paths with her back then. She was a madam, but if I remember right, she wanted to be a singer in a band.’
