Johnny Palms Beat, Tortured, and Burned Asia Lee. And Their Agency, 101 Modeling Didn’t Care.
Jonny Palms (pictured left) is facing serious allegations involving performer Asia Lee (pictured center right).
According to allegations (I have to use that word for legal reasons) that have been made, Palms is accused of brutally assaulting Asia Lee. The allegations claim he repeatedly beat her, restrained her while burning her multiple times with a lit cigarette, destroyed her apartment, choked her cat, and became involved in an altercation with another individual. It is further alleged that he hid inside Asia Lee’s car while the other person smashed the vehicle with a metal bat.
At the time these events allegedly occurred, both Asia Lee and Jonny Palms had already left 101 Modeling. Shortly afterward, Asia returned to the agency because, according to her, she needed money to get away from the situation and to repair her damaged vehicle.
For full disclosure, I was working for 101 Modeling at the time and personally took part some of the events that followed.
When Asia asked to return, she showed members of the agency photographs and videos that she said documented her injuries and the alleged assault. I personally saw those images and videos at the time, although I no longer have copies of them.
When it came time for Asia to take new promotional photos for the 101 Modeling website, she was sent home because the visible burns and bruises were still healing.
Several weeks later, 101 Modeling owner Robert allowed Jonny Palms to return to the agency. I strongly objected to that decision and argued that allowing him back created an unnecessary safety risk.
According to my recollection, Robert responded that it would not be a problem because the two would simply be kept apart and would not have to work together. I asked what he was going to do when another incident occurred. I do not recall receiving an answer.
Asia eventually left 101 Modeling. She also left the adult industry and pursued a career in the medical field. My understanding, based on conversations with her at the time, was that she no longer felt that 101 Modeling or the adult industry as a whole was adequately prioritizing the safety of female performers, nor cared about her
Even though this happen a few years ago, one of the main reasons I started this site is to get people like Johnny out and to warn models about guys like him. A short time ago, 101 Model Mochi Mona comment on a Twitter post that Johnny had threaten to murder her and her fiancée Jason Pierce. Ladies, put him on your no list.
(For legal reasons, I have to write this next part) At the time of publication, these are allegations, and they should not be interpreted as established facts unless proven in court or otherwise confirmed through official proceedings.
