Re: “Sexual Allegations Rock Charlotte's Arts Community”
Im so angry right now that I dont know who to direct it towards.
Theres the accuser, who went into great detail excusing her own unprofessional behaviors at her workplace (lounging on the couch, not concerned with her clothes being awry, thinking she was alone (and if a potential client walked in, then what?), or meeting her employer in non work-appropriate clothing (because it was hot is not a valid reason in most dress code policies), to then use the intent of work ethic and morality in order to accuse Jim of violating them?
Theres the reporter- who had formed their own opinion (Journalism 101 no-no), sided with the metoo accuser before writing the article, then hunted for anything about the accused that could even slightly resemble proofs of repeated negative behavior? Or am I angry at the magazine (is there an editor there, or merely spell check?) itself- that approved this filth and published it?
I began my modeling career in Charlotte in 1992. Jim McGuires name, reputation, skills and professionalism have never been brought into question until this week.
This article is a disgusting example of journalistic malpractice.
Before the cry of victimizing the victim is sounded, heres my story of a former Charlotte photographer; of my former talent scout, manager and Charlotte agent, as summarized in an ACTUAL news article describing serial predatory behavior:

You would do well to seriously consider a redaction, before placing any more of your scarlet letters on Charlotteans, Creative Loafing.
