Hired and fired within hours, public relations representative, Michael Sitrick worked for Ryan Phillippe just long enough to give quotes to InTouch magazine and that’s about it. From Page Six of the New York Post:

Unofficially, an insider said the flacks at Sitrick “gave a fake story to In Touch. They did a not-kosher thing, and that’s uncool. They [bleep]ing lied.” In Touch quotes Phillippe as saying in an “exclusive interview,” “I’m not jealous of her, that’s so far from the truth. She’s someone who’s very talented and works hard. I’ve done well, too – that was never an issue.” Phillippe was also quoted, “This is the hardest time of my life – I miss my family.” The problem wasn’t so much the quotes, which sound like what Phillippe would say – it was that BWR had already put Phillippe on the phone with People magazine for their “exclusive interview.”

Denials from all sides abound, of course, but it’s just one more thing to add to the zesty flavor this divorce will have.
