Berry, Gellar Nix William Morris
Apparently, Sarah Michelle Gellar is more than capable of holding a grudge.
The actor left the William Morris Agency in a huff this week after learning of unflattering comments that WMA President David Wirtschafter made about her in a lengthy New Yorker profile.
In the piece, titled "Secret Agent Man," in the New Yorker's "Letter from California" feature, Wirtschafter said Gellar was "nothing at all" before the success of the horror flick The Grudge.
An outraged Gellar rapidly exited the agency, apparently in favor of management that can better appreciate her Buffy the Vampire Slayer acting chops.
Gellar wasn't the only Tinseltown type ticked off by Wirtschafter's candor in the 12-page piece, in which he made cutting remarks about numerous clients.
On Thursday, Halle Berry also bid a not so fond farewell to WMA in response to the article, reportedly feeling that it assaulted her privacy and rights as an agency client, per Daily Variety.
The Oscar winner was the subject of three paragraphs in the article, which quoted from a finance-related discussion Wirtschafter had with Berry's attorney about her starring role in the upcoming Perfect Stranger.
"She will be treated as an investor in the film for the difference," Wirtschafter is quoted as saying, "and for every dollar she invests she would get a dollar-fifty out of the gross until she recoups a hundred and fifty per cent [sic] of her investment."
Wirtschafter also stated that the Catwoman star was willing to "give up a little money to get a good director or costar."
Me-ow. Apparently, Berry is not willing to have her financial matters aired in a public forum.
The thesp is reportedly not seeking new agency representation at this time.
Perhaps concerned about losing additional clients, WMA issued an apology in an apparent effort to soothe ruffled feelings.
"As an agency, we are deeply sorry if any remarks in the New Yorker story have caused any hurt feelings or ill will," a WMA spokesperson told Variety. "It was never our intention to hurt anyone."
