Unfortunately, in his characteristic rush to scoop other industry mudslingers, Luke has once again jumped the gun.
When I first noticed Riley had been removed from LA Direct's site, I emailed her to ask what was up.
This morning she sent me a long detailed explanation of her side of this non-story. I won't reveal the details, because she asked me not to, and because it's nobody's fuckin' business...
But suffice it to say, she offered what I think was a credible explanation of what happened, and until I've been offered compelling evidence to the contrary, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.
Unlike a lot of the transient whores that crash the industry just long enough to pay off their meth/crack/junk dealer, and then vanish in a puff of white powder... Riley is serious about her career, and isn't about to put it in jeopardy over a lousy grand.
