I thought people might like that and
posted the link to the account. So in doing so I was attacked by one
“Dallas Martin”, who left a mean-spirited and vicious comment on
my public Facebook page for the book accusing me of doing what I
accuse Terhune of doing before Valentino's final resting place. I do
not consider this the same at all and it is an absurd comparison.
I am not standing before Valentino's
coffin and his physical remains... all while marketing a private
collection of Valentino's personal artifacts in the hallowed crypt
itself, while reading the 23rd Psalm and all while
deviously conducting a monstrous and sadistic bullying campaign
online against me and Renato calling us names and mocking our every
move and ages.
Many people are sharing images on face
masks these days. It is not to make money but a way to cope with the
situation. And if “Dallas Martin” thinks I was or would make
money on those he is sorely mistaken. The artists on Fine Art America do not pre-purchase anything and receive a small percentage of the sales. They have nothing to do with the pricing and the purpose of the site is to gain exposure for one's art.
I enjoy sharing my artwork because I am proud of my art and will say
the reason I enclose the words “Dallas Martin” in apostrophes is
that I do not think he exists at all. I call fake Facebook alias on
“Dallas Martin”. Has anyone seen him in person or with his
mother? If so let me know.
I am still waiting for that photograph
of him with his mother Cindy Martin and a dated newspaper, etc. in
hand which Renato requested to prove his existence before
communicating with him. Until then he remains a fake Facebook account and hateful
alias.
The saying goes that “haters gonna
hate”. Well enough already and if they don't like my speaking up
about what they do and have done to us then maybe they should have
thought about their actions long ago. Their actions were all
documented and I will not be intimidated into silence.
If anyone wants any of my Instagram art
work on any of the site's offerings, I will send them the link to my
private account. Because I absolutely refuse to make the Affairs
Valentino Facebook page private but will not tolerate their hateful
outbursts there.
I blocked “Dallas Martin” long ago,
so some hijinks happened for him to even leave his hateful comment
there.

Renato's Response (Translation follows below):
Quando la realtà supera
la fantasia!
Sin dai tempi del blog di
Dominic Caruso, mi chiesi chi fosse Cindy Martin che apparve dal
nulla per bacchettare chi non fosse adeguato alle direttive della
famiglia di Alberto Guglielmi, dico Alberto perché Rodolfo, che mai
rinnegò il nome di famiglia ma usò quello di Valentino come nome
d'arte, era di ben altra pasta.
Io fui estromesso con delle
banalissime scuse così accadde anche ad Aurelio Miccoli. Poi Cindy
Martin apparve sul blog intitolato al libro di Evelyn Zumaya per
ingrossare il bombardamento di insulti e diffamazioni perpetrate da
Tracy Ryan Terhune a dal suo compare David Bret. Dopo un po' Cindy si
fece viva col capo cosparso di cenere chiedendo scusa delle sue
malefatte aggiungendo anche interessanti dietro alle quinte sui
rapporti tra lei o forse lui o loro, e Tracy Ryan Terhune e David
Bret. Quindi altra virata la supposta Cindy dopo avere nuovamente
offeso sparisce per tornare nei ranghi dei nostri odiatori.
Recentemente mi ha nuovamente contattato e io, davvero stanco di
questa sarrabanda e vista la mia convinzione che sia il suo profilo
Facebook sia quello, degno del più sfacciato surrealismo da umiliare
René Clair, Picabia e anche Buñuel,
del, per me, immaginario figlio Dallas, siano assolutamente fasulli
ho chiesto una prova che mi confermasse le loro identità magari con
un collegamento live o con una foto scattata al momento con qualcosa
che mi provi si tratti di una foto recente, ebbene nulla, Cindy e il
pargolo Dallas non hanno acconsentito e mi chiedo perché se loro
davvero sono quegli esseri surreali che pretendono di essere, si
nascondono dietro alla tastiera giusto per pontificare e insultare.
Perché se fossero davvero reali, in questo caso, la realtà
supererebbe la fantasia.
Cindy, Dallas, Tracy, David mi avete
esasperato e voglio che andiate per il vostro destino con tutti gli
indegni discendenti di un uomo buono, spontaneo, generoso e forse,
solo un po', pazzerello e sognatore che si chiamava Rodolfo
Guglielmi, in arte Rodolfo Valentino.
(In English)
When Reality Exceeds
Fantasy!
Since the days of Dominic
Caruso's Facebook group, I have wondered who Cindy Martin was, she
who appeared out of nowhere to exclude anyone who did not comply with
the guidelines of Alberto Guglielmi's family. I say Alberto Guglilemi because
Rodolfo used Valentino as a stage name and was a different kind of
man.
I was deleted from Dom's
group by Cindy Martin on very trivial excuses and this also
happened to Aurelio Miccoli.
Then Cindy Martin
appeared commenting on the blog titled Affairs Valentino, the same as Evelyn's book... to expand the bombardment of insults and
defamations perpetrated by Tracy Ryan Terhune and his comrade David
Bret.
After a while Cindy
messaged me alleging to be apologizing for her misdeeds and adding
interesting behind-the-scenes stories about her relationship with
Tracy Ryan Terhune and David Bret.
So another turn of events
when Cindy Martin, after having offended us mightily again...
disappears to return to the ranks of our haters.
Recently she contacted me
again and I, growing very tired of her bedlam and given my belief
that both her Facebook profile and that of her son Dallas were worthy
of any of the most brazen surrealism which would humble the greatest
surrealists, René Clair, Picabia and also Buñuel. For me, she and
her “son” are absolutely bogus because I asked for proof to
confirm their identities... perhaps with a live connection, some face
time or with a photo taken at the moment with something as proof such
as a recent photo.
Well I received nothing.
Cindy and her baby Dallas have not consented to my request and I
wonder why. If they really are those surreal beings they pretend to
be on their Facebook profiles, why do they hide behind the keyboard
just to pontificate and insult.
Because if they were
real, in this case, their reality would surpass any fantasy. Cindy,
Dallas, Tracy, David have exasperated me and I request they follow
their own destiny along with those unworthy descendants of Rodolfo
Guglielmi, who in art called himself Rudolph Valentino; a good man
who was spontaneous, generous and perhaps just a little crazy, a
dreamer.
