Executive Insecurity... Continued

A Continued and Closer Look Into Executive Security/Association's Erratic and Troubling Practices

 

Ryan D Price

 

Yesterday's piece from Saints by Emilia Russo took a deep dive into the seemingly nefarious backstage activities conducted by Executive Association staff, leadership, and its associates. This ranged from illegal street racing to the employment of minors as well as serving minors alcoholic beverages. In the interest of keeping said piece short, this portion - which points out more troubling incompetence on the part of Executive - was not included.


The behavior of EA partner and AURA owner and Ashley Hendricks seems to be erratic, especially in relation to her professional relationship with John Monroe and both of Executive's branches as well as Bloodhound Security Services - whom she originally contracted to handle her nightclub's security. An insider with Bloodhound told Saints, "She says that she never hired us, but I have FaceBrowser messages to show it." The source did, indeed.

This set of messages does show that not only was Bloodhound hired for AURA's grand opening but that they, upon Hendricks' express request, gave a discount to AURA in return for a guarantee that their services would be used moving forward. 

 

Our source told us that on the night of the AURA's grand opening both Executive Security and Bloodhound staff showed up and Hendricks elected to keep all guards on the clock, not seeming to know who was who or what was going on. Executive security staff made at least one attempt to ban a patron from entering the club based on a personal grudge. When confronted about this, the Executive Security staff member became hostile. However, midway through AURA's next opening on Saturday, October 12, Hendricks took Bloodhound aside and told them to go home. It would seem Executive Security - despite their proven ineptitude - would be taking on the contract.

 

This came after a disagreement during the October 12 opening at the door of the club between a duo of underaged girls attempting to enter.

 

"We wouldn't let them in, they talked to John Monroe on the radio and said he told them they're allowed in."

 

All of this came after an underaged patron walked past security and into the club without showing her ID. Upon being caught up with by our source, the girl first namedropped Hendricks with a threat to the Bloodhound guard. A friend of the underaged girl then proceeded to offer a bribe for her to be allowed to stay in the club. This was witnessed by Saints News staff on site. Our source said of the encounter,

 

"Then the dark-haired chick leans in and offers me three thousand bucks to look the other way like I'm some Soviet border guard."

 

Another source close with Executive had this to say via email about the October 12 opening and the continued pattern of disorganized and incompetent behavior by Hendricks and Executive,

 

"There has been a lot of uproar within EA and from their clients, mostly Nightclub Aura and their security issues. There was a public argument on who held the Security Contract, BH (Bloodhound) or ES (Executive Security) but it was ultimately left off as an ES contract. Ashley was late for the opening as well, coming in an hour late which left the staff very frustrated as many of them didn't have access to the fridges nor alcohol supplies

.

An outburst from ES staff member [REDACTED] against Ashley was fierce, calling out Ashley's unprofessionalism. A massive argument erupted while the club was still open over pay disputes. Unknown if everyone got paid."

 

More troubling is the fact that at AURA's grand opening, where a Saints News journalist - Aska Redan - was present to review the club, Hendricks offered a quid-pro-quo in exchange for a favorable review. The offer was not accepted.

Bloodhound being inexplicably and abruptly removed from AURA under the pretense of having never been hired, of course, came on the heels of Executive Security's debacle at Galaxy nightclub two days prior. This incident was covered by Saints News, causing former Executive CEO (her current title is unknown) Holly Ambrose to respond with an alleged copy of an incident report written at the time of the said incident as well as a rant against this outlet.

 

On the same day this piece was written, a source familiar with the situation told Saints News that Bloodhound has now been assigned to cover the security operation at Galaxy by John Monroe, effectively being switched with Executive between AURA and Galaxy. This decision was made by Monroe himself who, in a recent interview with Saints said,

 

"Considering the issue was there and the backlash it had on the media platforms. I contacted ES and told them that they are scrapped from Galaxy. Then I contacted Mia from Bloodhound to inform them that they can take the venue if wanted."

 

This, if correct, means that while Monroe who claims about Galaxy that "we have it in management for the time being." is receiving a new security team, but no shakeup in management - it will still be overseen by Monroe and EA.

 

Also important to note is that multiple sources have cited John Monroe as the current CEO of Executive Security. He denies this, saying,

 

"Completely different company. They do solely security. We do staff and management."

 

This clashes with Hayley Cross's expressed reason for terminating Cross Munitions' partnership with Executive Security - Monroe holding the CEO spot.

After the situation at Galaxy, Executive Security lost its partnership with Cross Munitions. When asked via text message if she'd like to delve deeper into the reasoning behind the divorce, Hayley Cross said,

 

"Negative PR over the last few weeks, security issues, and complaints about John Monroe taking the CEO position at ES [Executive Security]. We're looking to partner with reputable firms, but the latest backlash pushed it too far."

 

Soon after losing Cross as a partner, Executive lost Prescott Entertainment. A representative from Prescott had this to say about their own departure,

 

"The biggest reason for us to end the partnership is the bad press lately against EA. We don't wish to get the same bad press, so we decided to protect our own brand and reputation. It was also frowned upon by EA that we were [working with] other clubs. Monroe once called [Prescott Entertainment] when we had a gig with Fusion and said, 'Shit, we normally don't supply them.'"

 

When asked why EA and ES seem to continuously find themselves in controversy, the representative replied,

 

"Mismanagement and not learning from past mistakes."

 

They went on to agree that the nightlife industry as a whole has seemingly had enough of Executive.

 

Combined with the propensity for controversy that Executive has, this level of disorganization and incompetence is seemingly beginning to loosen the company's grip on LS's nightlife scene. Yesterday's article from this outlet exposed mountains of evidence pointing to Executive's activities ranging from unethical to downright criminal. With an LSPD investigation into the company well underway, it's hard to foresee Executive's future being bright.

Comment: For a moment I thought I was reading an article from PaintsNews, that's if there's any difference between Paints and Saints. I think you forgot to write about the fact how you guys are so friendly with Bloodhound and probably got paid to write all these articles so they can eleminate Executive Security from the competition and hold the monopoly like Saints News holds on the News companies. When you have actual evidence of the accusations you are making regarding my nightclub, feel free to send them to the Los Santos Police Department, I have nothing to worry about.

 

[Insert paragraph about how Executive Security is horrible here]

Regardless, thank you for the free advertisement, love it. Come down to AURA on Sunday, I'll give you a free VIP pass.
