Cylvia Hayes' New Boss Has Complicated Past, the Bend Bulletin Reports

Motley Crue singer wanted social media passwords back.

By Nigel Jaquiss

Last week, former Oregon first lady Cylvia Hayes reported on social media that she'd agreed to become a "staff journalist" at Issue Magazine, a new Bend publication formed just before Christmas.

WW first reported that new job. Today, the Bend Bulletin dug into the background of the founder and editor of Issue Magazine, Kristy Sinsara.

Bulletin reporter Taylor Anderson found that Sinsara pleaded no contest in Oklahoma City in 2007 to obtaining money under false pretenses; received a cease and desist order from the state of Nevada in 2010 for operating an unlicensed mortgage modification business; and was sued last year by Motley Crue singer Vince Neil, for whom she worked as a social media consultant.
