Hot convict update: Jeremy Meeks now has two Hollywood agents

Remember the blue-eyed convict whose mugshot had ladies (and gents) swooning? Well, he’s still in jail on a $1.1-million bond, but the rumor mill over Independence Day weekend ran rampant. Some news agencies were reporting that Jeremy Meeks, who some ladies call the “hot convict,” signed a $30,000 modeling contract with Blaze Models. Turns out that’s not 100% true.

The New York Daily News is reporting that Meeks does have representation, but that he does not currently have a modeling contract. Furthermore, according to Meeks lawyer, it’s likely that nothing will go down until after his legal issues are settled. He has a hearing on July 8 in Stockton, Calif., where he was arrested on weapons charges.

Meeks is repped in part by Gina Rodriguez, who also reps Donald Sterling’s former girlfriend V. Stiviano and Nadya “Octo-mom” Suleman. Rodriguez told ABC News that the convict could earn from $3,000 to $100,000 per month from modeling and endorsements. She also told the Daily News that he had a second agent.:

Meeks’ mugshot went viral following his most recent arrest. He became a trending topic on Twitter and his face launched a number of funny Twitter and Instagram hashtags, including #felonfriday and #prisonbae.
