Lifetime has a new series out starring Jennifer Love Hewitt about a Licensed Massage Therapist turned masseuse that works in a massage parlor dressed in scantily clad outfits performing sexual favors for pay. This show is encouraging perverts everywhere that it is okay to disrespect a licensed massage therapist and request similar sexual acts. Licensed Massage Therapists go to school and work hard for their job and we already deal with enough people out their who come with the wrong intentions. This show is giving Licensed Massage Therapists a bad image when we already get enough negative media via celebrity scandals and their "Massage Therapists". This show needs to come off the air ASAP. Lifetime created and aired the movie and the point was made. We do not need to continue with a series that encourages inappropriate and disrespectful behavior towards Licensed Massage Therapists.

I am currently compiling testimonies from massage therapists who have faced harassment because of the misconceptions this show reinforces. Send me your personal experiences so I can present a full report to the network executives. Post the link to this petition on Facebook to ensure our industry remains protected from this reckless representation.

We hit a significant mark of support for this campaign today. Now call the Lifetime viewer comment line and demand they cancel this series. Tag their official pages on Facebook with our message so they cannot look away.

People really dont get that massage is medical. Its not a punchline for a tv show. Tired of being treated like a sex worker when im just trying to help my clients feel better.

My wife is an LMT and works so hard to help people with pain management. This show is just trash and makes her job so much harder when creeps think it's a joke.

Ridiculous. No respect for the profession at all. TAKE IT OFF TV.
