So, just what do they have to be so panicked about? Thats what I really want to know.....;)
Pitt-Jolie ex-bodyguard strikes fear of tell-all
News that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s former bodyguard Mickey Brett might pen a tell-all or sell a television show based on his work with the couple sent panic through much of the Hollywood A-list set.
“If this kind of thing can happen with Brad and Angie, it can happen to anyone,” said one publicist who has worked with a roster of A-list clients. Brett has worked with Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Richard Gere in the past, but the threat Brett seems to pose to celebrity confidentiality doesn’t end there.
“If Mickey isn’t stopped — even if it’s lies that he puts out there, it plants a seed,” said the publicist. “And it doesn’t necessarily have to stop with security, it takes a village to get these people out the door. Stylists, assistants, you name it, there’s a lot of trust at play.”
olie and Pitt’s attorney Marty Singer told the New York Daily News that among other things, Brett wasn’t a reliable source, was bound by a confidentiality agreement and his ghostwriter made up many of the stories contained in a proposal obtained by the paper. Brett’s attorney countered by telling the paper, “Our client disputes what has apparently been said by Mr. Singer, but is not in a position to comment further at this stage.”
Brett's ghost writer, Robin McGibbon, insists to the Daily News that he did not embellish the bodyguard's stories.
“Mickey was definitely going to consider a book or TV deal if the offer was good enough,” says McGibbon. But at this point, he said, “there’s not going to be any book."
