A fraud and a creepy old, dude
This dude was weird from the jump. He gave me a contract and told me I had time to look it over. I was waiting over a weekend before he was rushing me. He said “ there’s a fresh 18-year-old every day” as if he was implying already that I was easily replaceable. So once I found out, I had the option to walk out of the agency anytime I wanted I said OK I’ll go ahead and sign the contract and did. Another girl tried to warn me about this agency and I didn’t listen in time. This dude was telling me all the model’s personal business that he worked with which told me right away. He was telling me other models STD results and constantly talking bad about his other models. I could not tell him anything personal about myself because this was off the bat . He was talking bad about other girls STD results talking bad about their relationship relationships and then would bitch and complain about talking to them on the phone for hours only to sit on my phone and talk to me for hours about other models when I clearly showed, I was not interested in the drama.. not only that, but I still used to be a self harmer. He tried to use it against me. He mocked me. I was willing to tolerate a lot of his bullshit because he clearly was just an old creepy man who wanted to feel important. He asked for photos of my scars so he could jack off to them because he said it turned him on after that he had said something rude and I told him it was not OK to talk to me like that and decided to cancel my shoot after I found out one of the models under his contract, was bragging about having sex with random dudes after getting STD tested, and I was supposed to fuck the dude on Set the next day that she just had sex with … then he tried to shame me saying that I shouldn’t have said anything . He will sit and lie and say he cares about you, but he won’t care if you catch an STD or something permanent as long as he gets his money . He’s so full of shit and I could sense that shit from the beginning . He then proceeds to call me crazy and tries to manipulate me. And of course, he sat bitching at me saying that I should not have said anything about one of his models having sex with random dudes after getting tested he tried to convince me that I was in the wrong for saying something and not wanting to do the shoot … I told him no that it was not OK and corrected him. He proceeds staying up and then called me crazy later after I decide to cancel my shoots again. Yes honey I see why you need those fresh young 18-year-olds because they were dumb enough to fall for it but I’m not. I also found out afterwards from one of the models who used to work with him that he uses a fake license. He uses a license with someone else it’s not even his own. This dude will purposely know that you’re going to get infected with an STD and not care as long as he gets his money because he can just discard you afterwards. Not only that he’s not even licensed. He’s manipulative, emotionally abusive, and it’s very clear when he first talk to him he tries to pray on the youngest woman possible because a girl like me simply at 23 able to recognize his manipulation tactics and his abusive behavior and hold him accountable. He ran away and started hiding and blocked me on all of social media, like a dog with his tail between his legs, he’s a coward who talks shit he’s nobody and he’s more damaged than he is good.
Pros
There are no pros. He’s not even worth the money. This is the kind of guy who will sit and drain your energy
Cons
Everything worst experience ever but the most important one is that he does not care about your health. He will send you to studios, knowing that people are having sex outside of testing and not care if you get infected as long as he gets his money.
Glorified Pimp
Matt Morgia mistreats ALL of his talent. He scares and manipulates young women into thinking they’ll be nothing without him and he becomes threatening when you do not do as he says. He can get you shoots, but he is NOT a licensed agent as he claims to be and what he is doing is fraud. He brings in all the new girls and that’s why certain companies still work with him, but those shoots will eventually stop because big companies will not work with him knowing he is NOT a real agent and how he treats his girls. Once you sign his “contract” he acts like he owns you and will blow your phone up with multiple messages and calls at all times of the night or day even when he knows you’re sleeping or doing a scene, but if anything ever goes wrong and you need him, he’s no where to be found and your on your own. As an "agent" he does NOT have your best interest.
Pros
You will get work for the first couple months, but they will stop after awhile because companies know he is unlicensed and extremely unprofessional
Cons
Very manipulative, unprofessional and controlling.
Narcissistic
I’m leaving this review based on my personal experience working with this agency.
Unfortunately, my experience became increasingly unprofessional and uncomfortable over time. One of my biggest concerns was the way the agent communicated with models. I personally found some of the conversations and comments inappropriate and unprofessional, including frequent discussions about things like farting and other topics that I did not feel belonged in a professional working relationship.
I also personally witnessed and experienced conversations where other models were talked about negatively, including comments about their personal lives and relationships. I found this extremely disrespectful and unprofessional.
Another major issue for me was feeling pressured to accept bookings or scenes that I had already made clear I did not want to do. When I said no to certain types of work, I felt pressured with comments that I wouldn’t get work or that my bookings would slow down if I continued to decline them. I also felt that he would become upset when I didn’t answer calls immediately, which made me feel like I had very little control over my own time and career.
I was also told that the agency would get my work and handle reaching out to companies for me. However, there were situations where I later found out or had reason to believe that companies had not actually been contacted about potential work. From my experience, this resulted in missed opportunities that I could potentially have pursued myself.
I also became concerned about the agency’s professional relationships with larger companies and agencies. I was told that certain larger agencies would not work with him, and I personally experienced situations where I believe my opportunities were negatively affected because of those relationships. I cannot speak for every company or explain their reasons, but this was a concern based on what I experienced.
Scheduling was another major issue. I experienced situations where bookings and scheduling were handled in a way that created conflicts or confusion. In this industry, your reputation and reliability matter, and scheduling problems can make companies or performers hesitant to work with you again. I felt that some of these situations were outside of my control but still had the potential to affect how other people viewed me professionally.
The travel arrangements were another major concern for me. At the beginning, flights would sometimes be paid for or arranged, but I also experienced situations where I was left without a flight arrangement for an extended period of time while away for work. That put me in a very uncomfortable and stressful position.
When I eventually decided that I wanted to leave, I tried to do so peacefully. I did not want drama, and I did not go around speaking badly about the agency. I simply wanted to move on and continue working independently. Unfortunately, I felt that the situation became unnecessarily personal after I decided to leave.
At times, the relationship felt less like a professional agent/model relationship and more like dealing with a controlling partner. I felt questioned and pressured about my decisions, who I was working with, what jobs I would accept, and how quickly I was expected to respond.
I was also disappointed with the amount of work I received. There were several months where I felt that I wasn’t getting the bookings or opportunities I expected from having representation.
I’m not writing this review to start drama or attack anyone. I’m sharing my experience because I believe other performers deserve to know what my experience was like before making their own decision.
If you’re considering signing with an agency, I would recommend asking very specific questions about booking expectations, what happens when you decline a job, communication boundaries, travel arrangements, scheduling, which companies the agency actually has relationships with, and how much control the agency expects to have over your career.
This was my personal experience, and ultimately I decided that working independently was the better direction for me. I’ve watched every girl god though this and leave just please be careful and look into who your actually working for you will never meet or see him face to face!!!!
Pros
He can get you work at the beginning but I will slow down
Cons
Everything, the way he books you, the way he talks to you, the way he talks about other models, he’s very controlling and i promise you will see his true colors before you know it
