He's all but admitted to being an escort/prostitute. He admits he had a "transactional" relationship with Nikita. Let's be real, he moved out from the middle of nowhere to LA when he was 17. He claims that it was to be a realtor. What legitimate real estate business would hire a 17 year old? It's pretty obvious how he was making his money before Survivor.
Did Nikita have enough money to keep him? With his looks he could have been the kept boy for a studio executive!!!
