The 'Poisoned' Pivert Responds
On Friday, reports emerged that the producers of the Broadway revival of Speed The Plow filed an official grievance against 'mercury poisoned' show ditcher, actor Jeremy Piven.
His reps have come out swinging with a statement on behalf of the 'poisoned' star. Multiple physicians have confirmed the mercury poisoning, they say. The Pivert's symptoms apparently included fatigue, difficulty maintaining his balance and 'special problems'.
WTF are 'special problems'?
Here's the Piv's statement in its entirety:
"The claims made by the producers of Speed-the-Plow are absurd and outrageous. Mr. Piven's serious medical condition has been well documented by multiple physicians. He withdrew from the play due to medical necessity on the advice of his doctors, after he was hospitalized and warned by his physicians that enforced rest was necessary in order to avoid serious medical problems, including a heart attack. His symptoms included extreme fatigue, spacial problems, difficulty remembering his lines, difficulty maintaining his balance, and an alarmingly low resting heart rate. Mr. Piven followed his doctors' advice, although his forced withdrawal from the show was an enormous personal disappointment since it was a life-long dream to perform on Broadway.
Although the Producers had an opportunity to have Mr. Piven examined by their own physician, they never did so. The results of such an examination would have undoubtedly corroborated the conclusions of Mr. Piven's treating physicians and would have confirmed the medical necessity of his departure from the show.
It is ironic that the producers have filed a Grievance against Mr. Piven, since if anyone has legal claims relating to this matter, it is Mr. Piven. Among other things, the production failed to pay his required compensation and he has been defamed in the media by their false accusations."

Quote of the Day
1st!
SPACIAL problems, Perez, you tool. Not special. You even bolded where it said "spacial problems" and still said special problems twice and questioned what it was. Spacial problems might be a lack of spacial awareness which could mean an inability to pick things up, see where they were; it might mean thinking there's more space in an area than there is (which could lead to him walking off the edge of a stage, for example) or less (which could mean he ends up getting in people's way).
I can't believe you didn't think about this before you posted it. If this was published in a paper or magazine you'd be laughed out of the industry.
you're actually retartded perez. it says SPATIAL problems, like he has difficultly with the awareness of the space around him. this is a real issue
Mario: SPACIAL means e.g. your dick doesn't find his way to the next startfish. This might turn out as a special problem if it last for longer!
Wow, I figured most of the time you just had typos because you're lazy, turns out you're just a giant moron.
A torn asshole courtesy of Belushi?
While his idea of mercury poisoning sounds more like a bad hangover - it is possible. If he ate sushi more that twice a day for an extended period of time, if he is below average height and has low body fat per cent age(body mass), and if he was taking Chinese herbal remedies on the side - then he might have run into some trouble.
He is the new Freddy MERCURY ! LOL
I was going to make a comment put that pic of paris is too distracting!
Never mind! And that's not in a good way!
jesus, perez, it's "spacial" no "special"!!! you need to P-R-O-O-F R-E-A-D!!!
Jermey Piven is such a douche! Why does anyone even care about him!?!? If he ever tried to hit on me I'd tell him to fuck off haha. He is so fug!
wouldnt he be like in the hospital for an extremely long amount of time and his skin would have a yellow pigment if he had mercury inhis system and how the heck did he get mercury in his system anyway!
…if he was indeed suffering from early onset Minamata Disease (mercury poisoning) why was he out partying?? people who have suffered this horrendous disease are LUCKY to live to talk about …if they could talk AT ALL….
sue his ass!
Who the fuck is Jeremy Piven?
..Noone gives a fuck.

They're better of with William H. Macy anyway! He's the finer actor. Jeremy is a dolt. And Perez, I;ve always thought you were kind of SPACIAL, as in riding-the-shortbus spacial. Bite me, bitch!
Spacial Problems and trouble remembering lines…
.
That's the difference between being able to carry a juicy tv show and trying to do theatre acting. Sounds like Piven just chickened out on the board work and wanted to stick to his cheesecake gig in Hollywood instead. He couldn't find his "mark" on stage because of "spacial problems"? Couldn't remember lines because of mercury poisoning? Only FETUSES get mercury poisoning! Guess Piven can act like one!!!
.
I hope they crucify him in court costs. He's an egomaniac who needs to be bitch slapped where it can hurt him the most.
Re: alphakitty –
I've been saying this for over a year — Perez is NEVER going to proofread anything. I don't think HE CAN READ. I mean, we all KNOW he can't WRITE!!!!!
SPATIAL (or "spacial," it can be spelled either way) (from the Random House dictionary) :
Of, relating to, involving, or having the nature of space.
this probably means that he was having issues with depth perception, judging distances, and was generally disoriented. "special" is spelled with an "e."
SPACIAL/SPATIAL, Mario. Pick up a dictionary — not a dickhead — for a change! (Now, that you've lost the weight, whatcha gonna do about the chin?!?)
God you're a thickie Perez.
SPACIAL, NOT SPECIAL…I cannot believe you wrote a book, much less tried to influence people in the last election.
SPACIAL problems would make acting rather difficult. I had them as a side effect of meds once - you keep banging into things because you can't tell how far away anything is.

Eating alot of Sushi with certain kinds of raw fish will insure that you get mercury poisoning too. Be forewarned!
If you must eat sushi, make sure most of what you eat is filled with different kinds of vegetables instead of raw fish.
It is possible that he did get poisened by someone who didn't want to act with him anymore?? how bout that?? Maybe the other castmembers got together one day and said hey, lets get rid of dickhead, seems like a longshot but you never know! lol, maybe they hated working with him that much!!=]=]
Re: greatscot – well said! I especially liked the "you tool" preceding the apt description of "spacial" ~
drug test his sorry tweekd out ass.
we all know why he quit
and why he is the most
hated man on both coasts.
If he really has been poisoned though, then my money is on Professor Plumb! Either that or the butler did it!
Re: greatscot –
I was just about to make the same correction.
Re: piazzasbuttplug – WE CAN MAKE MILLIONS..

Nice reporting skills there, Perez.
You fucking moron.
I do agree that the producers messed up by not forcing him to see an independent physician. They kept saying they would do that but never did. I don't know how they will win anything without this documentation. Dumb move on their part.
You would think you would at least come back and fix your illiteracy.
So he's worried about organ failure and heart attacks. But drinking alcohol in excess and using cocaine til all hours, whilst sleeping with walking talking STD's is NOT a health threat??
hmmm , those symptoms are the same as cocain and alcohol abuse. inluding the bloody nose.
I believe they meant "spatial" problems - as in, he had problems determining distances and such.
Not that I would have been happy having a doctor who couldn't spell the word properly, but it's kinda pathetic that you couln't figure out what it meant….
maybe it was a typo, it could have meant spatial problems…perez your such a dumbass
