Some Oma Hamou "Reality"

Oma Hamou's "bio" on her website was written by a "Tricia Walters". Google searches, phone calls, and general investigation reveal no published author, writer or columnist of this name.

In the bio:
"...Oma went to school, did a lot of modeling work and appeared in several films. Though moderately successful, Oma slowly became disillusioned with the Hollywood whirlwind."

Some Oma Hamou Reality: Oma Hamou has repeatedly refused to identify her educational background at all. She was ordered in a court trial to provide her educational background and replied with no information. In her own words, her film appearances were of so little importance that she was not given screen credit, she refuses to publicly identify the films, and says "even if she was just an extra or danced she was in a film." This REALITY is no where near what anyone would call "moderately successful" as an "actress"..

"Oma is currently a member of the "California Attorneys for Criminal Justice"
Some Oma Hamou Reality: WEELLLL kiddies, we called a California attorney who specializes in criminal law and asked him to look her up in their directory for us. Guess what? Yep, she is not listed currently as a member.

"Oma Hamou's (Sarskaia) Foundation is actively engaged in the rehabilitation of Tzarskoye Selo city's historic core, restoring the Fedorovsky Cathedral, the Fedorovsky Little Town and the Alexander Palace, last home of Czar Nicholas II and his family".

Some Oma Hamou Reality: According to the office of the State Museum of Tsarskoe Selo and the International Liason for the City of Pushkin (which is the name of the former Tsarskoe Selo today) and Rostor Realty which represents the Orthodox church for restoration of the Fedorovsky Little Town, Oma Hamou and her "foundation" have done NOTHING NADA ZERO AND ZIP for any of these places in the last FIVE YEARS. This is hardly being "actively engaged", no? What she "did do" according to them was give the Alexander Palace like $4,000 for minor work. Lets face it, even in Russian four grand wont do hardly anything to restore a palace. She signed a bunch of contracts, made lots of promises, and failed to live up to a single thing she promised to do, and those contracts are now long forgotten and dismissed by Dr. Sautov's office at the Museum.

"Oma's life is full as she juggles parenting, writing, running a film company and managing the Sarskaia foundation..."
Some Oma Hamou Reality: Enigma Films has yet to produce a single film in the last seven years. One project has been "floated" for these seven years, but nothing has materialized except for some dozen legal judgments against Oma Hamou, Engima films and Sarskaia which total almost ONE MILLION DOLLARS of debt, just from the judgments. One wonders how much debt has not been brought to court.

REALLY INTERESTING OMA HAMOU REALITY: The Sarskaia Foundation website "Projects" page is blank. So there must not be much to manage over there.
