Admin have removed my real name from my previous posts. Thank you.

If anybody is genuinely interested in Tori and what she is doing now you will find an abundance of new material on my website www.lepssmuttywebsite.com

One individual appears to be behaving as a borderline troll, going to enormous lengths to discredit Tori because he was unable to arrange a shoot with her two years ago. Other contributors to this forum will no doubt recognise this behaviour for what it is.

I will make one serious point. Tori and Angelina sometimes worked together as a pair, but Tori eventually recognised that this was doing nothing to enhance her reputation because of Angelina`s erratic behaviour. The latest I know is that they no longer work together.

Tori has told me her internet is down again. This seems tohappen quite often but if anyone wants to book her you can send her a message via my website.

My sidekick Lep will be happy to pass on any messages to Tori.

I too, had a shoot booked with Tori about 6 years ago. It was booked over a month in advance. I contacted her a week before the shoot to check that she was on. I had to wait until three days before our scheduled shoot when she sent the one-liner: "I've retired from modelling. xx".

At the time, she had indeed removed herself from a lot of the modelling sites. But she was up and running a few weeks later!

I've moved on and hold no malice against her. But, I don't recommend her. Others, just need to grow up.

Fair to say Tori can be abrupt if you catch her on a bad day. But she`s basically a good person. I can`t really say any more about your experience other than that it doesn`t really surprise me. Volatility in her personal life is often at the root of these fluctuations, but taking everything into account my experience of working with her has been more positive than negative.

I`ve now spoken to Tori about this and she cannot recall who you might be or why she may have cancelled a shoot. She says she sometimes cancels shoots if she has a bad feeling about the photographer, but she cannot be sure that was the reason because she cannot remember that far back.

That would have been when she was with her previous partner, and her home life appears to have been a bit chaotic at the time. Apparently he was not the most considerate of men. I believe her current home life is rather more harmonious.

I`ve now worked with Tori 13 times and I would recommend her although I also understand that not everybody shares that view. That is as much light as I can throw on the issue you have raised.

Togandlep, whether intentionally or otherwise you're sounding like a cheerleader for Tori, in the face of evidence that totally destroys your point. It's bizarre to be referring to a borderline troll when referring to someone giving the benefit of their experience.

I don't know who your troll is, but I have direct personal experience of the impossibility of working with Tori. Because if my own direct personal experience, I wouldn't now book her either. I've just looked back into my email archives at the correspondence between us in 2011. I could easily copy and paste, but as it was direct correspondence between us I won't do that. However, suffice it to say that no matter what options I offered to accommodate her ever changing circumstances,MIT proved impossible to arrange a shoot. I consequently gave up, confident that she wasn't serious. I think letting other potential customers know about our own experience is one of the points of having a forum. People can of course make up their own minds about what they do with the information. But it's wrong that you should castigate people for giving their experience just because you're a fan. Facts are just facts, simple.

I wasn`t going to reply to this guy again but I will make the point once only. I first worked with Tori in 2011 and it was quite easy to book a shoot with her. There were occasions when her circumstances changed and shoots had to be rearranged, so I recognise an element of truth in his point, but I do not understand why he should seek to continually undermine her 2 years after he was unable to arrange a shoot with her. To make the point once is fair comment, but to continually denounce her as this guy has been doing gets very close to the point of becoming a troll.

I have clashed with Tori on occasions and we fell out for a short period earlier this year. She is no angel but she is basically a good person. I worked with Tori on Saturday and it was a fun shoot. I have also worked with Tori when she has been slightly unwell, there have been problems in her life or there have been tensions between us and it has not been so much fun, but she has still been able to get the shoot done.

So as I said I would recommend Tori but I understand that not everyone agrees with me. This guy just goes on and on vindictively criticising Tori, who is the mother of a special needs teenager, and this is not necessary years after the event.

The first gallery of my latest shoot with Tori will appear on my website in a few days. As I have worked with Tori 13 times it clearly is possible to arrange a shoot with her.

Blatant and shameful cheerleading. People's experience says a lot more I think.

This guy is a pathetic wanker!

Anyone would think Tori was on trial for a serious crime the way he goes on but all that happened was that for some reason he was unable to arrrange a shoot with her 2 years ago. If anyone says anything favourable about her this tosser comes straight onto this forum to challenge it and to criticise the person who made the point.

I will not reply to any further posts he may make. He is obviously a very sad character.

To anyone else reading this thread all I can say is that Tori is the person she is. She is not perfect, she has her faults and she is not a supermodel, but she is a lot better than certain other models I have worked with.

This guy is a cyberbully, bordering on a troll, and I am sure any reasonable person will see his behaviour for what it is.

So I'm a troll now too?
Just laughable. Anyone who doesn't share your rosey-eyed view of Tori is a cyber bully and a troll? What a dillussional world you inhabit.
Wake up and smell the coffee, son. I'm not trolling you, Tori oranyone . I assurassure that neither of you is important enough, even if I were so inclined.
What I am doing is legitimate debate. I am balancing your unqualified glorification of this model with my own personal experience.
And as you've chosen to misunderstand me, let me clarify. It was several times over a long period that I tried to book only tobe thwarted at every tturn by an industry of excuses. Nothing wrong with that per se. If she doesn't want to work she's free to do that. At the time I didn't even bother to post my experience, I just moved on.
However, when I saw that she was being promoted as taking bookings I thought it only fair to share my experience. I stand by my decision. It is constructive, not malicious. Factual, not spiteful.
