From lukeisback, the owner of egoist is trying to spin lackwood's outrageous behavior and his company's mishandling of the situation to say Gram Ponante
owes them an apology, because he knew Lackwood was going to be onset.
Now that's ridiculous. It's pretty clear from all reports and from the video that Ponante had NO IDEA he was going to be attacked. Truly, I'd bet that Gram wouldn't go to a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant if he suspected two nine year olds might mix it up.
This is just ridiculous. (Yet funny)

Luke,
Love the new pic of you in the plaid shirt!
I am with Egoist Entertainment, the producer of "eXXXtra eXXXtra".
I was told some time ago, that life is not about what happens to you, but how you deal with what happens to you and I wanted to thank you and everyone on the cast and crew for the way they handled what could have been a bad situation. I have not responded because I thought this would all blow over, but it does not seem to be going anywhere and I wanted to make sure that some of the facts are corrected.
Any issues between Kurt and Gram had nothing to do with Egoist Entertainment. Any altercations took place outside before they entered the set. As you can see from your video the altercation happened on the street, not on the set. I wish you would have been able to come back at the end of the day to see the amazing sex scene between Audrey Hollander and Otto Bauer. After you left we went on to shot some great footage with no issues whatsoever.
I have read that Gram wanted more of an apology from Jennifer James. I want to know why Gram has not apologized to Jennifer? or to Me? When Jennifer invited Gram to the set, he knew that Kurt was going to be on set that day. If he had any idea there would be tension between the two of them, he should have mentioned that to Jennifer or showed up at a different time. It was Gram who could have put "eXXXtra eXXXtra" in jeopardy.
