'Pick up artist' Jeff Allen has Australian visa cancelled
A man who claims to be an expert on how to ‘pick up’ women has had his visa cancelled by the Australian government.
Jeff ‘Jeffy’ Allen planned to host seven free events in Australia between January and April this year.
Mr Allen is associated with Real Social Dynamics a group that has previously come under fire for advocating violence against women in order to seduce them.
In video footage shared online, Mr Allen can be seen joking about his ‘rape van’ and using foul and abusive language towards women.
His biography claims his interests and expertise are ‘scoring threesomes’.
In 2014 another Real Social Dynamics instructor Julien Blanc had his visa cancelled following public outrage in Australia.
Mr Blanc was forced to issue a public apology following images that showed him choking women.
Australia’s decision regarding Mr Allen comes after more than 60,000 signed a Change.org petition calling on Immigration Minister Peter Dutton and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to cancel the visa of the ‘executive coach’ based on character grounds.
"When you look at some of the information that these guys are promoting, it's pretty repugnant to say the least," Mr Dutton told Sky News.
Mr Allen’s seminars focus on ‘how to suck girls into your sex-worthy reality’ and ‘how to destroy her ‘b**** shield’.
Mr Dutton has since confirmed that following a department review of the Real Social Dynamics case ‘a person associated with this particular movement has had his visa cancelled’.
Mr Dutton said Mr Allen was not currently in Australia.
Real Social Dynamics has removed its Australian seminar dates from its website.
Matt Jowett who started the petition, which called for Mr Allen’s deportation, felt the Federal Government’s stance on domestic violence was reason enough for the visa to be revoked.
"A good step in tackling this would be to say very clearly that we do not hand out visas for people to come to Australia and promote, and profit from the promotion of, domestic violence and specifically violence against women,” he said.
