Motley Models, Ryan Kona Part Ways

LOS ANGELES—Motley Models and its corporate entity, Twice Baked Media, Inc., on Friday announced it has parted ways with veteran talent agent Ryan Kona. In the wake of the resignation of Motley founder Dave Rock last week, Kona had indicated he would be handling Motley's bookings as the agency transitioned operations under new ownership. He was in his seventh year as a Motley agent. "I wish them every success," Kona told AVN Friday. "It’s been a pleasure to work with every single talent I’ve represented over the past few years. I wish everybody the continued success they deserve." Motley indicated it reached a decision following a week-long investigation into the allegations against Rock, whom a former model claimed recorded her without consent while she stayed at his house. Kristen Kaye, who is leading the agency following its acquisition last week by a private investment group, will remain the primary point of contact. She can be reached at [email protected].
