Roddy is CEO of Miss Pageants, Inc., a corporation organized for the purpose of planning and conducting beauty pageants. Roddy decided he wanted supermodel Winnie Harlow for mistress of ceremonies for the upcoming pageants. After meeting Winnie, Roddy instantly fell in love with her.

He decided to make a play for her and showered her with flowers and gifts over the course of several days. However, Winnie was not interested in Roddy and repeatedly declined his advances. Roddy was not discouraged. In yet another effort to win her heart, Roddy snuck up from behind Winnie and said, "Guess who?" Winnie turned around to find Roddy lunging toward her in an attempt to kiss her on the lips. Disgusted and frightened by Roddy's sudden advance, Winnie jerked her head to the side to avoid the kiss and hit one of her famous cheekbones against nearby camera equipment which left a nasty bruise around both eyes, causing her to lose three lucrative modeling assignments.
