Metro Counsel Les Rich Responds: The public comments made by our paid contract star Gauge are defamatory and slanderous.

Metro has fulfilled its end of the contract, and that can and will be confirmed by each and every endorsed and cashed check and we are shocked by her actions. We have sat for months and listened to her on air tirades and misinformation she has delivered publicly regarding Metro. Words are simply words, endorsed and cashed checks are proof.

The changes at Metro have no impact on Gauge and she should concentrate on making movies, and staying out of politics. The company has done everything to make her happy and then some. The company will be contacting her attorney to address these serious issues that will be dealt in a manner that is appropriate in the industry.

Regarding Joey Wilson, we wish Joey Wilson well….a talented and creative guy who was and IS liked by all.
