Tommy DeVito’s agent apologizes for Pizzeria Gate drama
Sean Stellato, the flamboyant agent of New York Giants rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito, has apologized for the recent ‘Pizzeria-gate’ where DeVito was believed to have reneged on an appearance at a local restaurant over money.
Stellato told TMZ Sports that the affair was a “misunderstanding” and that he would no longer be handling DeVito’s off-field business.
“There was obviously a miscommunication, and if I caused that, then I apologize,” Stellato explained. “That wasn’t my intention. Like I said, we’re focused on playing football.”
Stellato also said DeVito’s marketing team is “fielding calls around the clock” following his rise to fame … but is carefully picking which brands to get in bed with.
As for the pizza shop mishap, the agent says he is looking to get past it all … and said DeVito will be making another unpaid appearance at Coniglio’s for a charity event next month.
“In life, sometimes there’s miscommunication,” he said. “I’m owning up to that. My intentions have always been to represent the client as best I can. I have a fiduciary duty both on and off the field, and I apologize if any miscommunications that I caused, I really do, my intent wasn’t that. We’re ready to move forward. This is obviously behind us.”
DeVito’s name, image, and likeness are a hot commodity these days and he is cashing in on his newfound fame with trademarks, appearances, and endorsement deals.
Strike while the iron is hot, they say. How much longer will DeVito stay hot is the question.
