On pages 4-5 of the filing, Russ claims that a book marketer refused to market the book because of bad reviews. To support that he cites Exhibit H which has a screenshot of an email from a "Maureen OConnor". Of course this email doesn't say anything about bad reviews, it's just a polite rejection letter. Once again Russ fails to see when he's being let down easy. And the screenshot was taken at 3:44 am. Looks like our boy has been burning the midnight oil. But let's continue to dig into this.
There is a
Maureen OConnor (notice the lack of apostrophe in OConnor) who is the Executive VP in Entertainment at
Rogers & Cowan, a PR firm based in Los Angeles. If you look on their website, their clients include companies like Cisco, McDonalds, Hyundai, and Verizon, as well as celebrities like Keanu Reeves, the Rolling Stones, and Stephen Curry. Assuming this is the same person he emailed, what on Earth made Russell think a company like this will represent him? Even if this company did agree to take him as a client, they are going to want at least $$$$$ to do it. Even if Russ emptied out his hooker fund and maxed out every credit card he has, he still wouldn't be able to afford it. I guess in his gourdhead logic it makes sense. He thinks he's already a star, he just needs to convince the rest of the world to see it.
