The agency has like 60 agents but you don’t know peoples race when applications rarely open. Pete is very aware of the lack of racial diversity on the show and would actively take anyone that wasn’t white to fulfill that part of things but there just isn’t anyone.
I think I addressed everything I know of Eric. The only additional is that I passed my real estate exam and asked him what to do, he told me he made my license active with his brokerage ‘fathom’ and I believed that. I later found out that he had not actually activated my license because he couldn’t and I would’ve have to do it myself. I never intended to go for his role or job or whatever but I can only assume he thought I was. This isn’t a bad assumption because Pete would’ve put me in ahead of him, but I got licensed in October of 2019 and Pete kept Eric on until Eric voluntarily left in March 2020. Pete had never approached me to take over anything and I wasn’t prepared to take that role so Eric had nothing to worry about. That said, I knew pete and Eric’s relationship was crumbling and many incidences were popping up of Eric not performing for clients and complaints coming in, so it was def all coming to a head eventually. Eric did meet with pete multiple times while I was there filming and it always seemed like an annoyance for Eric to have to be working with pete on the project. I feel Eric didn’t want me near the project and I understand why because of my relationship with Pete but it could’ve gone really well if he had been more open to me because I wanted to work with him.
I don’t remember the Hoop show at all. My brother worked there as an actor and asked us to stay after the show to get photos with the cast. A security guard was telling us to leave and my mom explained that her son was in the show and told us to stay seated but he insisted that we leave. I don’t remember all the details but I remember him getting upset and saying something negative towards my mom (tensions were high because my dad had passed away and this was Christmas Eve and it was the first Christmas after) and I flipped him off. The guard got angry and he called a higher security and ‘claimed’ I was trying to leave with alcohol, which I didn’t. It escalated (calmly) but higher ups got involved and then I tried to film so I had Proof and security flipped out when I tried to film the situation. It was a terrible night, Josh D’maro eventually got involved and explained that the guard already had 3 previous cases against him and he was ‘moved to a new position’ but I don’t know where. Josh and Jim Phelps has a sit down with me and Pete. We rode in a car to Hollywood studios and I mentioned that I used to work at Disney. Josh asked me how I liked it and I said it was the worst job I ever had and Pete was mortified. Josh and Jim were great about it and asked what my issues were beyond money and I said break rooms. I explained that I worked at big thunder mountain and the
‘Break room’ is literally between the 2 tracks of the ride (like where you get on the ride there’s a small room) and you can’t even sit, much less have a fridge to keep food. You have to use splash mountains or pay at the cafeteria, but it’s too far to reach on a regular break. So you just get nothing. I also explained that Ruben (moving to Orlando agent) worked (at that time) at jungle cruise and their break room is a tent outside and it gets very cold at night and there’s bugs and it not a good work environment. They did say that money was being set aside for new break rooms. The next month (I guess January 2020ish) it was publicly announced that break rooms were getting a massive makeover. So, I was happy to get to talk to someone in a position of power to actually make some kind of functional difference, even if it was already planned.
