A young Hollywood actor unearthed text messages from a top talent agent who he says requested sex from him in exchange for cash and a career ladder.
Sean Rose, known for his roles in films ‘CSI: New York’ and ‘Veronica Mars’ said Creative Artists Agency’s Cade Hudson pursued him and made the belittling and degrading offers during what he initially thought would be a ‘professional’ visit to his home back in April 2013.
That’s when Hudson, who was employed under marketing firm Full Picture LLC at the time, made the inappropriate passes.
According to a report released by the Los Angeles Times, Rose brought one of his pal’s along to Hudson’s home at the time, when the prying agent expressed his disapproval of Rose’s sidekick.

During the visit, Hudson ‘accidentally’ spilled a beverage on Rose’s sweatpants and placed his hand on the actor’s inner thigh to ‘help’ him out.
The heterosexual Rose revealed to the Times the incident made him uncomfortable, but he was too timid to tell Hudson, who he looked up to as a role model.
Still, Rose pushed his hand away and left the room to change into some dry pants afterward.
That’s when Rose received a series of texts from Hudson, who began offering money if his friend left.

‘I pay u 500 to have ur friend bounce,’ the text said. The actor brushed the offer off and replied saying, ‘LOL I g2g soon (too).’
The conversation then turned the one-way sexual.
‘1k stay,’ he texted. ‘I know ur straight Getting [oral sex] isn’t gay. U. Know. That … All u gotta do is sick [sit] back relax…’
He went ever further, promising the emerging entertainer he would meet actresses like Amanda Seyfried or Lindsay Lohan – both of whom he is friends with – if Rose allowed oral sex that night.

Hudson added: ‘Ill have u meet with any director this week that I can.’
Rose replied: ‘Dude friends … I’m not that desperate to make it.’
It seems the two had only crossed paths twice before their phone number exchange and Hudson’s perverted passes.
They first met in an unknown parking lot in Los Angeles, where Hudson introduced himself as a publicist, according to the newspaper. The second time, a Bel-Air hotel.

During later conversation, the ‘Criminality’ star told him he ‘wasn’t comfortable with what happened years ago.’
Hudson revealed he was ‘drunk’ back in 2013 and is now a sober man.
Rose said worked up the courage to come forward about the uncomfortable and unwanted sexual advances after the 2017 #MeToo movement.
Hudson’s attorney released a statement on the matter on his client’s behalf.
‘After being my friend on social media for seven years, and liking my posts, Sean is now accusing me of soliciting a sex act from him,’ Hudson said.
‘My recollection is that he laughed it off and remained my friend on social media.’
This year, TMZ dubbed Hudson to be ‘Hollywood’s most popular agent,’ who built relationships with several A-list celebrities though his work as a commercials agent.
