In somewhat of an ironic move, Audrina Patridge has ditched her talent agency, UTA, E! News has learned and is reporting this morning.
Yes, Audrina has left her talent agency. Which implies that the corporation manages individuals who have some sort of talent. Odd.
Apparently, The Hills star thought the agency wasn’t treating her with enough respect - the kind it offers another reality TV star.
Maybe you’ve heard of the client in question: Lauren Conrad.
Hayley Lozitsky from United Talent Agency confirms to E! that UTA is no longer working with Audrina Patridge.
“We no longer represent Audrina,” Lozitsky said.
“We represent everyone else, though. We still represent Whitney Port, Lauren Conrad and Lo (Bosworth).“
Lozitsky denied comment on the reason(s) for Audrina Patridge’s departure.
A source close to the situation tells E! that Audrina thought UTA had “a conflict of interest” in repping both herself and LC.
“Lauren was getting all the offers, all the endorsements, the appearances,” says a source. “Audrina thinks she should be just as big of a star.”
Patridge’s new manager, Gladys Gonzalez at John Carrabino Management, declined to comment on her client’s business affairs.
Wonder what Justin-Bobby thinks, though.
