Will Logo Address 'Finding Prince Charming' Star Robert Sepulveda Jr.'s Alleged Escort Past?


See reviews and his most-impressive feature HERE.

I'm not the biggest prude in the world, but am a little surprised Logo would choose someone who is said to have been a onetime rentboy (dba Vincent Romen and "Troy") to star in its latest offering.This certainly isn't an uncommon phenomenon among gay men -- I've known many, and who could forget when Stanford found out about Marcus's past at the Soho House pool on "Sex and the City"? And it's certainly not a disqualifying detail. (I can even remember when I first got to NYC and was struggling to make ends meet and a concerned -- and better-off -- friend pulled me aside after hearing me laugh about all the men offering money on AOL and saying, out of the blue: "If you're ever short on cash, don't do anything. I'll give it to you," making a connection that had never entered my mind.) Still, can't help but wonder if Logo knew about this in advance and how they intend to address it now that it's out there. Thoughts? I've reached out to Robert and Logo for comment but have not heard back. 


More dishy comments HERE.



Boy Culture ponders why Logo would base the show on finding "the one" when so many gay couples don't function that way anyway. If you're going to have a nontraditional leading man, why not mix up the format, too? Read HERE

Robert Sepulveda posted a jerkoff video online years ago with his face shown. I can't find it but I'm sure one of your readers can. Huge cock.

Good lord I was going to skip this mess but now I have to watch to see the real life Pretty Woman come to life. From Ho to a Princess. How fabulous!

Wouldn't that automatically make him a Cinderfella?

Unless his husband is running for President, I don't see why anybody should give a damn.

A "reality" star with a past? Shocking!

I guess we can't get too up-in-arms over this show. After all, abortion IS legal.

Sorry, I see NOTHING WRONG unless he damaged clients when he did sex work. Both you and I would be shot dead in the South if our past exploits were publicized -- well, at least me -- so how could I condemn this guy or think him unfit to do the show?

He was working as JordanAthleteTen and VincentLucas on Rentmen right up until production started in July. I feel bad for Lance Bass and the contestants (who could have health and distress legal claims if this wasn't disclosed). His LLC for design doesn't exist in the state's corp databases either because he's never had a firm. Google "sepulveda m4m" and see all the different escort pseudonym postings going back at least 10 years. I agree, who cares if he earned a living escorting, just don't hold him up as an icon and put others at risk, esp Lance with his story. The LogoTV exec's email is pamela.most@mtvn.com and Lance Bass's agent is Justin Ongert at jjo@wmeentertainment.com. Please email them if you feel this is questionable.

You can email me - isn't what Logo and Lance Bass should be promoting

Mr. Sepulveda hasbeen a well known gay male escort listing on Rentboy and Rentmen for most of the last 15 years right through mid-July, most recently under the names VincentLucas and JordanAtheleteTen in Atlanta and Barcelona right before production began. Before that it was a main source of income in Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, New York, Atlanta and DC.

You can verify this by googling "sepulveda m4m" and near the top of the listings will be discussion threads about him by name going back to 2006. If using the website Search, you type in "sepulveda" and remove the forum limitation checkbox, you will get all mentions and threads. This is all public information. Search on the escort names mentioned in order to get the discussion and clients who didn't use his name directly - Vincent Romen, VincentLucas and JordanAthleteTen. This is clearly Robert. He also used the names Adam, Noah, Troy and Jordan on Rentboy - if you add a space and "NYC" after those names his older results will come up (along with others using just that first name, but his may not be hard to identify).

His Wikipedia/resume is also pretty much a sham. His design company LLC doesn't seem to exist in Florida, Georgia, or New York where he worked and would need it registered - and it's not in Delaware or Nevada (maybe you have its tax ID number or formation papers). That makes sense because he never got much work in design during the last 15 years. the Valley Forge job lasted only about a year before he went back to escorting most of the time. His website doesn't list client names or references.

If escorting has been his main source of income, fine, but Lance Bass and the contestants may have been conned and don't deserve this - they could probably take legal action for fraud, health and distress risks if it wasn't disclosed. He was active right up until the show.

Thank you Steve for shining some light. I find the whole situation nauseating. These shows are ridiculous and inane already, but this just shows that there is no end to how low entertainment will go.

The rentboy past didn't surprise or repulse me. The nekkid pix were intriguing. . .he's packing. But some of the stuff he DOES in the videos is--shall we say--a bit more extreme than I'm used to. It's not just plain vanilla, it borders on weird/gross.

If you google "EthanHungJock m4m" (one of his escort names) you'll get the infamous 2008 "Don't hire Hunter in DC or Anywhere!" (Also escort name) discussion. Robert actually responds as Ethan and is totally psycho. Other clients in the Gay Bachelor and Prince Charming discussions confirm his identity and the link to his Model Mayhem page. He left trails everywhere....
