Singer Glenn Medeiros reveals he and other artists were asked for sex by music industry figures to help careers

Singer Glenn Medeiros has revealed how he and other artists were often asked for sex by music industry figures in return for help with their careers.

"I've never done it and I do feel proud of that, but at the same time I can understand why some other people did. I remember talking to some of my friends who said, 'The person's attractive and I like them anyway, so it's OK.'" "I'd even talk to the artists about it and they'd say, 'Hey, you know what, I've got to do what I have to do.' For me, I never took that approach."Speaking to podcast host Genevieve Hassan, he recalled going to the house of one successful male songwriter, who told him he was better than the artists whose gold discs he had on the wall.

Now 50, he said he would not name those involved, which he acknowledged some people would find "gutless". Some artists sold drugs, while others had their houses, cars and other expenses paid for by the Mafia, who in effect "owned" them, Medeiros claimed.

Never heard of him. Is he on the comeback trail ?

'music industry figures*' *jewish perverts like Weinstein

Good you you Glen, 'She ain't worth it'.

Thank God he had the sense !

the profiteers in the industry were mostly from a public school background, they preyed on working-class bands. they manipulated lied and with evil corrupt skill, the fleeced them, artistic theft & perverted lust.

I do struggle with the MeToo campaign which itself is corrupt! they say about mafia and politics the music industry the media, they are all the same and the old adage its not what you know its WHO u know and how to blow !!

evidently he said no then

Not new

You would like to think times have changed now although I’m sure there are different levels of shadyness going on

The music industry was corrupt then....and it still is in different ways!

has he got a book coming out?

Am super excited right now. I can now pay my bill and take good care of my family. Thank you for bringing happiness to my home, with just an investment of $590 I got $6,350. I am now debt free maiyarova

So what? Without sex nobody can be seen by his/her own children as he or she or both are. That's heady

Old old news!

😳😳 something seriously wrong about this. Hope they are all brought to justice if this is the case. Disgusting at this day and age!!!!

I'm having chips for tea tonight.

An awful state of affairs, but it must be said that Glen's career may have been held back rather more by him being easily the most tuneless vocalist of the 1980s.

But did that change his love for them?

But you did it I'm sure. So don't be spitting in the soup now.

Happens too often. This is why MeToo is so important. No hiding place for perverts.
