Controversies

In September 2016, Marilyn Agency was sanctioned by the French Competition Authority, along with 36 other model agencies, for illegal price fixing. Marilyn Agency was the most heavily sanctioned, with a fine of €600,000. Agency fines were determined based on the gravity of their practices and the damage caused to the economy.[2][7]
