Of course you should follow the advice of your professionals.
At the point of audit, you would have to prove that the model was an independent contractor and that an employer/employee relationship did not exist between you and the model. When checking the independence of sub-contractors, lazy auditors will normally accept an EIN, 64-xxxxxxxx not SSN, as proof.
