History's Pawn Stars NOT FAKE! Says Jilted Former Employee Olivia Black
I recently had the opportunity to ask former “Pawn Star” Olivia Black about her experiences working at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop and her wrongful termination from History’s hit reality series in 2012.

Russell Scott - Olivia, you appeared in 8 episodes of Pawn Stars, a program seen by over seven million people every episode. What has been your most memorable experience working at the store that wasn’t shared on camera?

Olivia Black - Sitting in the Old Man's office with him, Rick, Mark Hall-Patton, discussing literature. And I was actually in 27 episodes.

Russell Scott - My apologies! Imdb only lists 8. You should have a word with them. Do you still work for Rick Harrison’s Gold and Silver Pawn Shop?

Olivia Black - Nay. I ceased working there April 1st, 2013.

Russell Scott – What are your thoughts on the ethics of pawning? Do you think it’s a predatory lending business?

Olivia Black - I personally don't feel it's taking advantage of people. If that's the road you need to take, then you put yourself there. I don't think it's predatory.

Russell Scott - Fourteen months after your hire, at the height of your popularity on the show, you were fired by the producers when your previous nude modeling work for the website www.suicidegirls.com was revealed. Can you talk about that? How it came about? And what was your reaction?

Re: History's Pawn Stars NOT FAKE! Says Jilted Former Employee Olivia Black
it is a TELEVISION show

It has producers and directors and production assistants

I am sure they send people all over Nevada looking for people to come in and Pawn Stuff.

Could you get more money selling your things at an auction or through a private sale

Probably but you go to a pawn shop because you need money NOW not in a few weeks, or months or years.

All "reality" TV is edited, conversations are "baited" or prompted.

It's not a documentary of real life in a pawn shop it is entertainment.

I bet the producers screen all of the people who are selling the things that make it onto the show in advance. That way they can prearrange for the main characters to conduct some advanced research on the items so they can speak about them in an educational/informative manner while recording and also prearrange for the 'experts' to conveniently show up when the item arrives. When you hear the younger guy (Corey) speak about the items being featured, you can sense that this is not first-hand knowledge that he gained but something he would have researched/looked up in advance - he doesn't sound very authentic when he speaks about these things but more like he's regurgitating something he recently learned (however his dad does sound knowledgeable though but that's from his experience). Plus it wouldn't be realistic if the customers were coming in spontaneously with these featured items and they were asking them to wait around the shop while they owners tried to conveniently arrange for their appraisers to show up at the shop in a timely manner to review them....

I just think that show is for people who have emotional connections to things that don't have value. If I am not personally interested, I turn it off.

But I sure don't want be on the wrong end of two people who think a "signed" document from some dead guy needs a 3rd idiot like Chumley to give up a pound of flesh to make it "real". Even though he seems to have many pounds of flesh and is therefore uniquely able to give.

Re: History's Pawn Stars NOT FAKE! Says Jilted Former Employee Olivia Black
I don't believe a word she is saying.

She says she went through a normal hiring procedure. She said it was to be hired on to work for the Pawn Shop, not the TV show. If you notice during the show there are many employees that never get on the show to speak.

So they find some old porn pictures of her and she gets booted from the show but she still is supposed to work for the Pawn shop. But as soon as she gets booted from the show then she no longer works for the Pawn shop either. I'm calling BS. I bet she never really worked for the Pawn Shop and was merely hired to work on the show.

If she workd for both then she obviously did it to get on the show and had no desire to work for a Pawn Shop. Ego maniac, worthless piece of garbage.

I agree. Pawn Stars is reality TV which doesn't necessarily mean "fake", but definitely means it is "Managed". The proof is when they offer people more money than they were asking.

I bet the customers receive some type of small cash payment ($500-$1000?) for agreeing to allow themselves to be filmed for the show and have their faces shown on national TV... This payment probably influences them to eventually settle for less money then they were originally intending or asking for as the show would not be very appealing if deals were seldom made.

"I was shocked that the photos were leaked" who would ever imagine that a photo shoot for [link to suicidegirls.com (secure)] would be leaked. The unpossibility of it staggers the imagination.

Just like Kitchen Nightmares isn't a setup show by the producers getting families to fight with each other on purpose to make better TV. Fuck TV reality shows, there all bullshit

I was just there visiting and had to stand outside FOREVER until they were done.
That pawn shop is very very tiny.

It takes like one minute to walk through. about 1/4 of the shop is selling all sorts of t-shirts...ect from the show.

Good logical thinking for you right there. I too have thought of similiar things about this TV show. There have been alot of items that have cropped up there that have seemed to be worth considerably less than $100... not $1000+. Jewelery being one item that I can easily believe is worth $1000+, most everything else, nope.

I used to deal with pawn shops and none of them would buy a book and the money you could loan was much lower than on this show.
