Rumour: Susan to stop representing Sideshow

[SwedishHeat]

It was posted in a Facebook group, think it may have been Let Your Geek Sideshow. I don't know the original source.

Hmm, found it

This aspect of the story seems too crazy to believe. But with Deak's penchant for self-promotion, it seems likely that these are stories that he planted.

I wouldn't put anything past him!

From so many peoples' reports of their interactions with him, he seems dangerous to know.

Deak's reviews are terrible. Geez...

What is his channel named? If I am subscribed I want to unsub.

Never mind I found it. He has the most unimaginative name for a channel, so that made it easy to find.

I was mainly talking about his recent review on SS's channel. He is "One Sixth Society" on FB.

Definitely sad to see Susan let go. She was the reason I enjoyed watching any of their videos. Just very charismatic and fun to listen to. Always filled with joy over any new figure she was checking out. I ended up unsubscribing from anything Sideshow related (facebook, twitter, youtube, etc) because with her gone and Deak now being featured in their review videos, I have zero interest in anything that Sideshow is producing, except for maybe the poser guy videos. With the Sideshow website train wreck from a few months ago and now this, makes you wonder what kind of state Sideshow is in internally.

Man his reviews sucks, guess I won't be watching SS channel anymore.

Zachary eventually gets around to explaining things in this live video from yesterday:

Susan Damon · 15:05 I was not officially given a reason for my termination, because in the State of California they can’t say that.


Susan Damon · 16:42 Oh! And Jon said way worse stuff than what Zach is saying

Can you sum that up without having to watch through nearly one and a half hours of it?

I'm still watching it myself.

Seems like Jon being Jon... jealousy; power hunger; telling Sideshow Susan was the cause of him receiving death threats; making up things to make Susan's boyfriend, Zachary, look bad (that he imported figures from Hong Kong rather than buying from Sideshow).

That's in the first half hour.

Wow, I thought people were over-reacting a bit, but it does seem like this guy's a bit of a jerk. Personally I never had a problem with him, I've always found him okay to interact with on his FB group, but I guess you never really know how people are.

It seemed it was inevitable that Jon would find a way to take over once he got his foot in the door with Sideshow. From all the things I've read about him, he doesn't like playing second fiddle - as with his threatening legal action when OSR wouldn't let him become an admin.

I'm watching it with real-time comments to see Susan's input.

It gets weird around 34 minutes when illustrating Jon's "manipulative" and "sociopathic" tendencies: a story of Jon posing as a girl online to trick somebody into saying something bad about One Sixth Society (Jon's FB group).


Susan Damon · 34:47 That was the same profile that claimed to be your ex

I think what's most telling is the one thing you won't find anywhere: somebody defending Deak.

You either have no idea who he is, you find him to a benign *********, or you can't stand the way he acts. There's no one championing what a "great guy" he is XD

This whole thing is weird and sad.

I think I’m going to back away from this train wreck now ... but my takeaway so far is to ignore this Deak guy — easy, he was never on my radar to begin with, and if he actually works for SSC now, to vote definitively with my wallet and cut all transactions with their company.

All the weirdness aside, some of his messages alone are more than off-putting enough.

Zachary gets onto that at around 40 minutes (after telling the times Jon sent him inappropriate videos of himself in the shower!) He said that Jon was "obnoxiously nice", "...he's too nice...and that's the whole thing, he's too nice...as long as you follow him..." But "...he really flipped" when he got jealous.

Susan Damon · 47:39 Zach has just had to deal with me crying all day


Zachary: "Not only was Susan fired, but she was also pretty much treated like **** at work...That's the truth."


Zach said he started recording and documenting his conversations with Jon, because Jon was starting to freak him out. "It was for my own ******* safety."


At 52 minutes: With his vaping company Jon apparently used the Better Business Bureau logo illegally and gave himself an 'A' rating. The Better Business Bureau gave him an 'F' rating when they found out.

If even part of this is genuine then Deak is a total nut job. I won't say I really loved susan but she was a fantastic ambassador for ss and will be missed by a lot of people. So is Deak just doing reviews or will he have a greater say in their business practices? I hope their decisions don't keep going downhill but this isn't a good sign
