To begin, it is not in my personality to call out people, to bash them or to put people up against a wall, but I need to take a stand, to demand justice, to deliver you facts, to denunciate abuse. My name is April Rose, I’ve been in the SW industry for almost 6 years. I’m writing on behalf of several Montreal Companions and myself.
I want to stand today and denunciate abuse that has been done by the event organization Le Rubicon and the Carte Blanche agency, addressing directly the owner/manager/perpetrator that calls himself Maitre K or MK for short.
I will begin with my personal experience, followed by statements gathered by other companions that have asked to remain anonymous.
I started working at different events at Le Rubicon back when I was with the Unicorn Healers, about 2 years ago. I had never heard of this man, nor of his organization. I’ve always been eager to try new things, discover new territories and the owner seemed new to the universe but willing to learn. I just always have such faith in people that they will do the right thing at the right time. I think one of the first events I had done with them was either an orgy or a gangbang. I have had lots of issues with the management since the beginning, especially about rates, safety and rules. I always had to argue for rates, I always had to argue for safety and had to explain to him why there had to be rules. If you didn’t enforce your boundaries and rules, if you didn’t specify anything, he would just assume everything was possible and say so to his clients as well. The first orgy I did, I had been paid a very little amount (considering the work), and for a room full of 50 horny and unscreened men and maybe 6 girls, the ratio of men for girls was unbelievably high. He wants as many people as possible to enter his events for financial reasons, disregarding the proportions of the settings. His reason was: he can’t “charge more for the events”. It basically felt like we were having 6 gangbangs at the same time but with 50 interchangeable men. Considering that at that event, I was one of his “big names” as he would call it, I’m concerned how much the other girls had been paid. He was busy everywhere, his assistant was behind the bar, so we basically had to be our own security staff. I’ve always been comfortable expressing and imposing my boundaries, I don’t know so much about the other girls there, as most weren’t girls of the industry. Guys were pushy, impolite and I had to tell some guys to go wash their privates (cause it hadn’t been said to them to). Basically, anyone that shows up was granted entry. I’ll give more details about their rates and procedures further.
I’ve tried to discuss, change things and teach because that’s who I am. I think we all did at some point. I don’t think he ever listened, any advice that wasn’t leading to direct profits wasn’t acknowledged.
Then, there was this one event, a foot fetish night, where, again unscreened clients are permitted to enter, and also have private time with us. So far those events had been ok, the gents were safe and courteous. But that day, I get a new client, this young man, saying he was inexperienced. He books me for 20 mins private. The second I entered the bedroom that was aside from the main venue room, he started hitting me, beating the shit out of me, purposely hurting me. I screamed, I tried to talk him into calming down, being respectful, respecting me and boundaries, be nice, be gentle, to show him how. Nothing I was saying was getting to him. As a professional submissive, I am able to receive impact play. This wasn’t impact play, nor bdsm, there wasn’t any communication related to boundaries. If you have been to any type of foot fetish event, you would know, it’s a very smooth ambiance, cute music, everyone is playing with feet, massaging, and it’s a very sensual environment. It’s not a “highly active” setting. All the participants, clients and providers, are in the room next door. No one came for me, not even the owner that was supposed to be nearby. So I went for the door and got out, and ran into another room, pointing at him to get the fuck out, and asking “MK” to ask him to leave. What was the owner’s reaction? He went to comfort the client, apologize for my behavior and promise him that he will let him know if at any other event I’m there so we don’t cross paths. He never defended me, he never stood up for me, and he didn’t even kick the guy out. Then he proceeded to let the guy into the safe space I was in so he could come “talk to me”. After I bursted in anger at both individuals, he proceeded to kick the guy out. I expressed clearly the situation, my boundaries and my discomfort. The red flags around that organization were everywhere, this should have been my GTFO call, but I chose to view this as a 1 time error thing.
There has also been this other situation where I was told they were having a “football game night” with sexy games and to come and hang out and make contacts. I learned 10 mins before the action (by a client) that it was actually a small orgy. I had never had the details of that event, I was advertised as a participant to the clients but I had no idea about it. It had been sold to me as a football watching social time.
