Barbizon Modeling School Complaint by Charliehorse512
I had a relative go there and it is a rip off. At the time we did not know a whole lot about modeling, but she got sucked into their "casting calls" and they were promising her to be the next best thing. $4,000 later, she got her little modeling degree, but for an additional $5,000, you could go to LA or New York for their huge casting call. That's when we were like *** no. She never went nor did she get anywhere. You do not pay to become a model, nor do you pay to be in a huge audition or casting call. Whoever needs you will train you for free to do what you need to know on site and if its an audition, you don't pay a dime. All barbizon's are only licensed by the state as a modeling SCHOOL and not a modeling AGENCY, but they fail to mention that to anyone. Then they were claiming all these celebrities went there and some of them came out saying they've never stepped into a barbizon to begin with and sued the company because Barbizon was lying about them attending their school". While my relative was there, to make themselves look legitimate, they went so far as to set up a phony movie set and play it off like she was going to be in a real movie?. 20 other extras got sucked in also,. Everyone was calling down to barbizon to find out the release date but come to find out, it was never to see the light of day|. That pissed off a lot of people.. We felt like idiots telling everyone that our sister would be in a movie as an extra and we were waiting for the release only to be slapped in the face like that'. Now I know what that $4,000 was going to from all the dumb saps including us was going to:. A phony movie. 15cb52
