Signing a one dollar contract should NOT mean that a future one million dollar offer FROM THE SAME COMPANY can then be rescinded after it has been offered. The prior one dollar contract MUST have a warning stating that future celebrity hood will result in the person orginally filmed LOSING any FUTURE compensation offers from the same company. This MUST BE FULLY EXPLAINED TO THE PERSON AT THE TIME THEY SIGN THE ONE DOLLAR CONTRACT.

These one dollar waivers are meant to be used to give the production company leeway to use the image of that person based on that persons recognizability at that moment in time. If however the release is ABUSED to basically shunt that person from ever being offered a contract by that same company because they already have prior footage of that person, then that MUST BE FULLY EXPLAINED to the signer at the time they sign the contract.

In essence, Ashley Dupre´ was competing with her herself without ever being told that any future offers from this same company would be voided because they already had her on tape.

Another issue is the use of her image under her new name of Ashley Dupre SHOULD NOT be allowed. If they want to use the footage, they MUST USE the name that she signed under, Amber Apraio.

I think the lawyers should have proceeded on those two points. As it stands now, it may be harder for production companies to get low cost waivers because of how Ashley’s one million dollar offer was taken off the table after it was offered, all because of a prior one dollar contract.

Ashley, get BETTER lawyers.
