Just watched the film. Felt bad for her and everything, but was only really shocked by the autopsy bit. At the end of the film it says she still models, but there's no link to her on noahmodels blog so I'm guessing she just worked off her debt and quit.

Nadya Vall. The real story

[Hoother]

The description from the video:

Quote:

Hello, My name is Nadia Vall and I am the main persona in the "documentary" the "Girl Story". The two film makers David Raymon and Ashley Sabin came to Russia and Japan to film a documentary about me and the modeling business.However what they have actually done is that they have cut and pasted segments of that film so that the result purely suites their needs and does not reflect the truth or the reality in any manner. We now have come to sadly realize that their intent was not to film a true documentary but rather, they wanted to make a film to portray a very negative image on the modeling business in general. They wanted to cast a dark shadow on the modeling industry so then they could create a negative sensation that usually interests the Western public more and excites the Media. Moreover, what they have done is a gross disgrace to journalism and a big slap to the fashion industry. They have poured dirt on Japanese agencies in particular that absolutely do not deserve such a negative image. These two producers have no regard to the other innocent people involved in their fraudulent film and have no moral or ethical values. Their true motive is simply greed - as they have used me a - 13 year old girl then and have tricked and used many other people to make a false and disgusting "documentary" to simply make money. Today they are lying to the whole world as they are trying to gain fame by pretending to be "protectors" of young models. However, now that I have grown, let me speak the truth about David Raymon. He is a psychologist who is a knifing manipulator and a sexual predator. I think he picked me - a 13 year old girl, and targeted me from day one deliberately. During his visit to Japan he made sexual advances at me. He told me that he was above God and that he had the power to destroy my career and he started pressuring me.... I started crying and I wanted to go home and he took advantage of that and started filming..... He flew to Japan alone several times to meet with me. Until today David keeps calling me as he is obsessed by me. I think the Fashion Industry and the Movie Industry should be aware of sick sexual predators like David Raymon. He is a great danger to young girls world wide and especially to young models. He should be barred from filming or even from coming close to young girls. The whole documentary is a hoax as the "protector" is the real predator. He is the hungry wolf in the chickens' hen disguised in a sheep skin. Hereby, I would like to conclude that I am a very happy and satisfied model. Above all, I am very grateful to Noah Models for being where I am today as they found me, and gave me the rare opportunity to travel and work world wide. I also would like to thank Japan for being such a great country for opening its doors wide to many beginning models, who get a great career start there. I love modeling and I hope to reach the very top of the Fashion Business some day. The world should know the truth, and the "Girl Story" is NOT a true story and maybe the True Girl Story is yet to be made. Sincerely, Nadia Vall

Lol, tell me how that was nót scripted by that creepy owner of Noah Models.

Although I agree with her that the modeling industry and the Japanese agency was portrayed in a very bad way. That scout Ashley was talking about how modeling could lead to prostitution (WTF?!), it was not made clear why the girls didn't make any money (while the Japanese driver tried to explain in poor English: The girls need pictures for their book), and they failed to explain the concept of being "in debt" with your agency, so the whole movie theatre I was in, was shocked when the final titles said: "Nadya left Japan with a debt of X-thousand dollars". Everyone in the audience was thinking she had to refund that, which is of course not true.

Nadya is a great model.

Japanese agencies always offer the model a gross guarantee. (The gross guarantee is mostly between 10 - 12 thousand for a new face. The models flight ticket, pocket money, apartment, book, prints, the agency commission and the mother agencies commission will be deducted from the gross) The new faces leave Tokyo mostly with 500 - 1000 $. The model and mother agency isn't responsible for the models debts ….

Just finished watching this documentary. That Ashley lady gave me the creeps, but I also felt sorry for her. The whole thing creeped me out actually.

I really do hope for Nadya that she'll suceed with what she wants to do and gains "independence", as her grandmother wished!

As if him and his agency is saving thousands of kids' lives and that they need to be protected from sexual predators. He actual spoke in the documentary about how modelling is better than young girls 'spreading their legs from rich men'. She's only just 14, I highly highly doubt she would speak like that, even in Russian. It's so disgusting how these 12/13 y olds are sent thousands of miles from home, alone, to be used by these companies who know young girls can be easily manipulated, and most of the shoots they do are inappropriate for their age, like the smoking one above, or the underwear one on Noah's site, or in the doc where he showed a girl who was going to be '13 in October' who was wearing a top and basically underwear.
Nadya would do great on runway if she waited a few years and was handled by a good agency.

[misspistol]

Absolutely agree, the only person who came off as a sexual predator was the agent who talked about saving little girls from spreading their legs. Just awful.
I really hope Nadya has some success, she's a beautiful, ethereal little creature and her family are just adorable.

[ssgghh]

Even if the film was edited so that everything looks worse than it is , the facts still remain. They could not have staged the fact that a thirteenyearold, in fact at least 2 of them, were sent to Japan on their own, not picked up on the airport, they did not realize what was going on due to their age, cried, one of them didnt even understand basic words like "book" in english,got in to debth for whatever reason (id say their age) and quit school.
