"The defamation lawsuit reads like a Hollywood movie, except the man accused of making an indecent proposal is real-life billionaire and owner of the Edmonton Oilers, Daryl Katz.
In a legal action launched this week in New York, Brazilian model and Jane the Virgin actress Greice Santo accuses Katz of offering her money for sex during a photo shoot for Viva Glam Magazine in Hawaii.
"He would pay me 20 thousand per day and would see me 5-6 times a month," says Santo in a handwritten complaint made to the Hawaii police that is contained in the lawsuit.
She also claims to have received a total of $35,000 in wire transfers from Katz and his associate and "cousin" Michael Gelmon. In an interview, Santo said she gave the money to charity.
Hawaii police looked into Santo's complaint but didn't lay charges.
In that same complaint, Santo says several months later, Gelmon threatened her after learning she had told a music producer about the alleged money-for-sex proposal.
"Daryl's head of security indicated that they will make sure you don't work in Hollywood ever again," Santo said she was told by Gelmon.
Santo said there were other warnings as well: "I was constantly told by Gelmon how powerful Katz was and what would happen if I ever crossed him."
The allegations are contained in a lawsuit filed last Sunday by Santo's husband, R.J. Cipriani, a professional gambler who calls himself Robin Hood 702 and has been profiled in Rolling Stone and other publications for bringing down a drug kingpin."
