Explaining my situation

Transcript of Official Statement

It is Sunday, the 14th of June of 2015. I officially gone on a strike due to not only to unpaid work from movies, TV shows, sports, public persona, and music done with my image ( me doing long hours of work). I did not sign any of these contracts (these contracts were not obtain legally), I was taken without my authorization, I never agree to participate in these shows which portray me in way that have nothing to do with me and some are called "reality shows." It is hurtful to see how these show distort my life and represent something very different from the person I am. Throughout all this process, I been trying to keep this private and get people to take responsibility and get to an arrangement outside of the public eye for years now. I put my pride aside and continue to do my life and being the person that I always being and want to be. However, going through all the research that involve determine all of my asses many times makes me upset. The reason for this is I kindly, privately being trying to get my image taking out of these productions since these were done without my permission, maybe due to greed. I been a hard worker and a talented individual who does not mind working and the arts in all of its forms has been part of my DNA. Nonetheless, the reason that I am asking for this work to be taking out off air is because I cannot allow people to take advance of me or other people. It is not right. I do understand that I earned everything to all of the fans and all the people who support my work throughout this time. Yet, I cannot stand by them during this time. The last three years of my life has been financially very difficult. I being dream of going back to school to continue my education and this have not being possible since I don't have the money. I never owned my own car, house, I dependent on other kinds of transportation, I being limited in any other way financially and I am just getting by. So, where is my money, houses, cars, etc? Who is enjoying the fruits of my labor? There are other aspect of this which to this moment I need to keep private which are disturbing and I don't want to relive. I am lucky to be alive today that is the main reason I am speaking out. I realized that this was a matter of live or death when I several times wake up with a gas odor inside my bedroom (my unit does not even have a gas connections). I was not breathings, cars being trying to run me on the streets, I being bullied and called all the names of the universe online. I receive death threats, I being isolated, moved without my permission, accused of things I never done and I am not related to it. Just because I am speaking out. Enough is enough. I am a human being and I reserve that dignity. Even with all this, I am very happy to be alive today and very grateful to everyone who support me in different ways. This not that I am unhappy of having so a long lasting support and work. It is that as a human being I cannot stand by the old and abusive way of the entertainment industry and how it is functioning today. These people have being disregarding my humanity and rights throughout my life. I would not remain silence anymore longer since they assume that my discretion means permission. As I been doing my life by day, being a good person, a good citizen, a student, an artist, etc. At other times of the days, photos, videos, artwork and my singing voice being used altered and used inappropriately. By any means I want to cause pain or people losing their works that is not my intension. My intension is that empower all the other people who are or might be in a similar situation. My intentions is telling my truth, getting my rights and the way of life I earned and was raised having.My intension is for us to live in a better work in which everyone gets what they deserve and sweat to produce. My intention is for fans to know that I am not a diva, disconnected. I just being kept way, I never in my life received a fan letter nor gift or a complement but plenty of the critic.I love you all with all my heart, but you deserve the truth, know what you are supporting.
