The Pivert Has His Day In Court - And Wins!
MercuryGate is over and the winner is….. Jeremy Piven - by a brown nose.
It was decided Thursday that Jeremy didn't violate his contract when he bowed out from the revival of Speed-the-Plow, because of suffering from mercury poisoning.
In a statement released this afternoon, Actors’ Equity Association, the union that represents Broadway actors, said that the arbitrator ruled in favor of The Pivert and the association, adding that the performer “did not breach his individual employment contract nor did he breach the Equity-League collective bargaining contract.”
Then, not one to let others have all the fun, The Pivert said his piece in a phone interview with The New York Times:
“All we can ask for is our day in court. I was lucky enough to get it, and the truth prevailed. It’s a beautiful thing…I’m just a theater actor who got sick, and was physically incapable of finishing my run. And now I can put this behind me and move on. And I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I had a real health scare, and now I can climb back on the stage and know that I’m strong and able to complete the mission. It’s a great day.”
Well, congrats Pivert!
Now, you can get back to being a "serious" actor!
Ha! Yeah, right!
