PJ Braun--
Lay off him guys. Alot of the best body builders in the world posed for Muscle Gallery. Mark Dugdale, Johnny jackson, Eduardo Correa, Terek Elesthui. Its no big deal. there is alot of other shit out there thats alot worse.
I did it back in 2004 and I can tell you that I was NOT naked, and I was able to turn down so pretty weird outfits, lol, and I was payed very handsomely. I was told at the time by someone I respected it would help my career. I really diddnt do anything that you wouldnt see in a standard modeling magazine...thise guys are just 100lbs thinner, lol.
Looking back at it, I wouldnt have done it for two reasons. 1- Your gonna get judged and labeled...2- I actually was told by a big sponsor last year that they really liked me alot as a person, and liked me physique. They wanted to sign me to a pretty good contract until they discovered this and felt it would hurt the "image of the company'' so much for that. Fortunately SPECIES saw past that and I am sure there are other companies that will as well. So give the kid a break. He has good genes and a bright future. Sometimes when were young we dont think things through as thorough as we should. What made him believe that pics like this would attract sponsors or help his career? This isnt even mentioning his videos ..what a tool.
Why is getting a couple hundred bucks, being paid "handsomly" for some?
I also like he gave props to the fact that SPECIES "saw past his gay photo stint", like it is some reputable prestigious company. LOLOLOL He needs to keep in mind who Palumbo is.
Kid is in seriously in denial.
