Don’t you hate it when con artists take advantage of nice people? Well, allegedly, that’s what happened to former Soap star Victoria Rowell who found herself the victim of a crafty local con artist.
The former Young & The Restless star has been in the news recently due to rampant speculation that she might be joining the cast of the Real Housewives of Atlanta.
According to a concerned friend, Rowell met a man in Atlanta who goes by the aliases Jasper Rose, Jasper Hood and Prince. The friend said he passes himself off as a “celebrity wardrobe stylist” who claims to have worked with stylist Rachel Zoe. His client list supposedly included singer Monica, Amber Rose, Danity Kane, and others.
The friend said Rowell needed a stylist for a shoot and she trusted Rose/Hood with her American Express card to pull clothes for the shoot at high end boutiques. But during his shopping spree at Saks Fifth Avenue Club, he also pulled pieces for himself, racking up a bill of $30,000.
According to Rowell’s friend, the man was able to gain her trust by convincing her he also styled Monica for her album shoot in New York last month.
The friend said Rowell is doubly concerned because he had access to her home and he has her driver’s license information as well as her credit card info (she canceled the Amex card).
The friend said Rowell and her husband recently moved to Atlanta from LA. “Her being new to Atlanta and not really knowing anybody made Victoria an easy target,” she said.
She said Rowell is in the process of filing a police report but she doesn’t know the con artist’s real name.
Apparently, Jasper/Hood is aware that Rowell has been asking around about him which prompted him to tweet this yesterday:
CHILE, if he aint every bit of FABULOUS, I Dont know who is
I am a little surprised someone that has been in the business as long as her did not check up on his references. Him being a flamboyantly dressed gay man would not enough for me.
Why didn’t she look him up?………..I wouldn’t take someones word for it…..She should have looked him up…
I mean in all of his pics. he has a “who gon check me boo?” face on….
how you doin? two snaps in the formation of a Z!
SHE NEEDS TO COME BACK ON Y&R! I love Drucilla, even though she was messy as hell!!
So is he the one that put her in that dress? If yes, she should have known he wasn’t an ally a long time ago
I guess people just said f*** background checks and references. Blank stare.
He looks like he was listening to Beyonce’s “Diva” when he was taking those pictures….

I wish she would too.
Who the hell is that trusting and who buys clothes for a photoshoot. I thought most were provided/borrowed.
Did he go to DRake and Niki’s school of pouting because he is being really extra…..
But doesn’t he look like a skinnier version of Derek J….
Is this dude serious? how can they lie on you if the bills shoe that you purchased clothes on her card without permission? Again I ask, is this dude serious?
As far as Victoria Rowell, as many established or semi established stylists as there are out her, why did you go with this dude? Are you one of those women who truly believe the more flamboyant a gay man is, the more style sense he has? Why didn’t she call anyone for references? I mean you gave him access to your credit card, you should at least het his social security number and government issued ID…
Man listen I’m not even from the A, I have never been to the A and I would not trust that fool w/ walking my dog… Sometimes looks are deceiving but at times it can tell u a lot and his looks tell me to go directly the other way and don’t stop. You don’t go giving your card to every person, that is foolish on her part.
She saw him in those labels and thought he was the real deal. Rachel Zoe? Yeah right when have u seen Rachel working w/ or have working for her a brother… Man o man people will take anything you are feeding them and believe it is gourmet…

I hate when people have that assumption as well. I also hated when Sheree (HWoA) asked her stylist how she should do a fierce walk. How do you ask a man how to be feminine with confidence? How would he know, he’s not a woman! Such a oxymoron to me.
So is he the one that put her in that dress? If yes, she should have known he wasn’t an ally a long time ago

Yes he looks like he was singing this:
Diva(remix)
Stop the track let me state facts
I told her give me her credit card and I’ll be right back
30,000 on my Lv scarf and Chanel shades can’t cut it
I done got so sick and filthy with benji’s I just spend it
How she gone be talking ish
Like I stole that ish
She gave me the money and I just took it
I know she spreading lies about me
Thats why I did it
I sent her in the Obama dress because she was mean
I’ma a DIVO
I’ma a Divo
I’ma a Divo
I see the gays are still running credit card shopping spree scams. That is so 90’s.
Since when do stylist need your license number? I just don’t know becuz I wouldn’t give someone my credit card I just met and didn’t have any background information on him or his license for that matter…Pray it never happens to me.
Now I see why ATL is the gayest city in the USA….
Question
Why do Gay Men purse their lips like that. Are they smelling the doo doo from last night on their upper lip?
Trey Song does the same thing with his lips….

I saw this man driving a car last night and the vanity plate had DIVO on it.
Y’all think he was gay? It was a little sporty 2 door coupe-y car.
@RTB – The car was gay so wouldn’t his plates be????
@Civli-Yep I am a hustler… I need to build up that resume…..Being Mrs.Rhino-turtle is a hard job in itself..
I am trying to stay away from having Rhino babies…gotta keep busy..

Bey keeping from having camels, now you with the rhinos.
I love gay men, but I hate the fact that they are more feminine then we are. I have never walked around twisting and pouting my lips looking silly! I do this either :gay:! Where do they get that mess from?
@Erica-I am not the preseident of the e-welcoming Committee Daisy does that…..

@Coporate- My bad

He was dumb as hell to respond. His IP address can be used to locate him. She was dumb for not checking his credentials…I have some beachfront property in Arizona I want to see her.

————————————————————-
Yes he does purse his lips like a ‘Twan but people dont want to see what hes making quite clear.
Sidebar: Sandra, folks think me, you and Charles are the same person. BLANK STARE. I can’t vouch for you and Charles but I am definitely not either one of you.

not always true. I know plenty of gay men who are not feminine and who are out & open about their sexual preference. I choose to believe that there’s just a small noticeable population of flamboyant gay men
I guess she really wants to be on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now if she loses a house and coins a catchphrase she’s in.

I’m holding you and a few other SR cyber comedians responsible for ME not geting MY work done.

Unh, Uh, missy don’t blame it on the Divo, now!!!
Sandra, where is my Fraud Alert emoticon?
I would like an explanation of why
men like Marc Jacobs, Versace (R.I.P) and many others control fashion for women?
I was just having a talk about some flamers with a co-worker. :smh:
@Corporate: Sawwy bout that…
@Missy *shuffling my e packets back in order off the floor*
I have seen Jay do his dick sucking lips the same as Trey in pics
@ Missy: Its cool girl. They already think I’m crazy cause I’m smiling & acting giddy…looking forward to some Margarita Madness tonight!!
Did anyone see the picture of Kelis looking like a damn fool. She has like four horns on her head. A tail, sparkly shyt on her face & them darn ballerina shoes that Bey wore with that funky heel that looks like it’ll kill ya feet.
B!tch looks like the devil’s cat. You can find the pictures on RWS
Somebody just asked me do I believe a certain weight loss program would really help them lose 30lbs. I’ve never tried that particular plan…but my deductive reasoning brought me to the conclusion that any and all of these “weight loss” programs will work. If they require you to cut back on what you eat and stress exercising at least 3 times per week.
Who’s getting their body bikini ready for the summer?

I saw her, I don’t get her so called sense of style.

& #random
at the last line. I have never worn a bikini. Any diet can work, but in using the word diet ppl get discouraged, why don’t they call it what it is ” a life changing alternative to being healthy. If we cut down on what we eat and exercise regulary we all could be fit.

@Corporate I have never worn a kini not even in college and my early 20s when I was a size 6 was never that bold
I am however working on my summer/tankini body. Bootcamp at 430/Spin class at 645!
Are people so gullible that they don’t even do a background check or research their “stylist” and check their references before handing over their Amex card? Shame on his “man” for pulling the okie doke but shame on Victoria for being so careless.

***********************
Exactky, shoulda known better!
@Anna & @Daisy,
We do agree on how we can all be fit. But why so shy about a bikini? Personally, I have some skin discolorations so during my 20’s I refused to wear a bikini. I look back now with regret. If I work on my fitness this year, I’m wearing a bikini even I have to airbrush myself with some makeup! :lolol:
he should be real easy to track now. on his twitter he has his location posting from his phone and also has a number up telling someone to text him
678 480 8541 text me so u can meet me outside
I started exercising about 3 months ago after work, the sad part is that I don’t notice any weight loss, but the bmi seems to be alot lower, my clothes fit me better.
I am working on wearing a bathing suit this summer, hopefully on a foreign beach somewhere.
just like the usher story, i smell bull sh!t. BECAUSE she’s knew to the A, wouldn’t that be more reason to get a recommendation? poor poor victoria rowell. yep, she’ll fit right in with the other housewives. all brass and no brains.
A TRUE “STUNT QUEEN”…. ATLANTA IS FULL OF THEM. THESE GIRLS IN ATLANTA NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER AND STOP LYING AND STEALING TO TRY AND BE “GRAND”. GRAND IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE AT OTHERS EXPENSE, STEALING, FRAUD, AND ALL THE OTHERS STUNTS THE SISSIES PULL TO BE LABELED AS “GRAND DIVA’S” I LIVE IN ATLANTA AND COME ACROSS THESE QUEENS, AS THE ONE YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE, OFTEN.
