adverse publicity surrounding Epstein and his illegal activities, and the publicity falsely linking
Plaintiffs with those activities; namely, sex trafficking. (Composite Exhibit A).
10. One example of such a photographer was Michael Avedon, who worked with MC2 on
photo shoots. Avedon stopped answering Plaintiffs’ emails and phone calls after having known

intentional and illegal activities was a very recent one, involving an overseas agency, Modilinos
Model Agency. The owner stated that the model to be placed with MC2 “found some article in
internet, which changed her position and she preferred to be placed with another agency.” This
was relayed to Plaintiff Brunel by e-mail dated October 15, 2014. This amply demonstrates that
Epstein’s intentional & illegal activities continue to cost Plaintiffs’ business income. (Exhibit B
