Insulted Gellar dumps agent

Hollywood beauty Sarah Michelle Gellar has ditched the prestigious William Morris Agency after its president dismissed the star as "nothing at all".

David Wirtschafter offended the Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress with his comments in US publication the New Yorker surrounding her performance in horror movie The Grudge.

Gellar’s public relations spokesperson confirmed that she "has left the William Morris Agency effective immediately because of The New Yorker article", reports website PageSix.com.

However, the sexy star will remain with management company The Firm.

Gellar isn’t the only star who has been upset by the outspoken talent boss - Charlie’s Angels star Lucy Liu has also had problems with William Morris, but not "because of the article" according to a company spokesperson.

    I think Sarah more than proved her acting skills during Buffy. But she chooses such god-awful roles that seem like absolutely no challange.

    You’re an idiot. It’s not the truth. That guy should die for insulting Sarah like that.

    The truth is that The Grudge was an awful movie, and Sarah was the best thing about it (and probably the reason a good portion of the audience even bothered to go see the film.) The comment, even if it was true (and I don’t think it was) was way out of line for someone who is supposed to be representing you. Of course Sarah quit. More power to her.

    If you’re giving your agent like 15 to 20% of your earnings anyway - He ought to be saying nothing but positive stuff about you. I have to agree with Sarah on this one.

    I’m not ger biggest fan, but it’s not the truth. She’s not "Nothing".

    "Nothing" stars go straight to video or get no work at all. As opposed to starring in a successful horror movie and series.

    That’s a little harsh, Sarah was great in Buffy, and her acting in The Grudge may have not been up to scratch, but she wasn’t completely horrible.

    Don’t particularly like SMG, but this was mean and rude! so, okay, she did some rubbish scooby-doo movies, and the grudge wasnt exactly oscar-worthy, but her role as Buffy gave her credibility in my eyes and a lot of other peoples’. she picks movies well, movies that will heighten her fame, and well done to her for quitting this company.

    If SMG was "nothing at all" before The Grudge, how come most of these articles make feeble puns on her pre-Grudge career as Buffy? SMG "slays" her ad agency, and so forth. Seems like name recognition to me.

    I get so sick of Buffy fan’s saying Sarah is nothing. "The truth hurts" What a stupid comment. If she is nothing imagine what William-Morris agency would think of David, Alyson, Eliza, Michelle, Nicholas, Charisma, Amy, Emma, Anthony, James, Seth, Amber, and so on. Sarah is by far the biggest star from the series and has done the best work. Who care’s if she made scooby doo, I bet the money she earned, she’s having the last laugh. The other actors won’t come close to getting the money she gets or the respect. Most "real" people don’t even know who some of them are.

    She just needs to find a role she can sink her teeth into (pardon the pun), no-one doubts she made Buffy the show it is. It’s just a shame it ended when it did. She’ll always be thought of as Buffy, which is going to be difficult for her to shake.

    "Phizzy could you not use the word "retard" in a negative way. It makes you seem as bad as the person you were responding too.
