Jamie Lever Details Casting-Couch Scam and Says She’s an Actor’s Kid, Not a ‘Nepo Kid

Her refusal to strip during a bogus video audition underscores the solo efforts she has invested to earn roles on merit.

Overview

  • Lever clarified in an exclusive Zoom interview that her father’s reputation did not grant her silver-platter roles and she distinguishes being an actor’s kid from a privileged nepo kid.
  • She entered the industry without a manager, personally handling auditions and facing repeated rejections before landing film roles over the past decade.
  • During a recent fake international audition, she was told to strip on a video call for a ‘bold’ role and immediately terminated the meeting when she felt unsafe.
  • Lever said she realized the stripping request was likely a scam designed to record and harass her, exposing ongoing predatory tactics against newcomers.
  • Following her father’s warning to ‘be the best or don’t bother,’ she has pursued rigorous language and performance training and will launch a U.S. comedy tour in August.
