WTK publicist Annett Wolf is working overtime to ruin relationships with the press.
After lying to Page Six about Patrick Swayze’s medical condition, Wolf, seen here with client Ted Danson and wife Mary Steenburgen, is now issuing false statements to anyone who will listen.
In a statement released earlier this week, Wolf said: “Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects.”
Actually, that’s not the case if this OK! magazine report is to be believed. “Reports have Swayze playing the role of a gay cheerleading instructor in the romantic comedy Fired Up!, but a rep for producers of the film (currently filming in Los Angeles) say that although Swayze was once attached to the film, he withdrew from the film ‘three weeks to a month ago.’ The role is currently being played by John Michael Higgins (Wag the Dog).”
If there’s one thing a gossip column hates, it’s lying publicists and the lies lying publicists tell. So imagine where Patrick Swayze’s rep Annett Wolf now stands with Page Six, after last month telling the column her client only had a “gastrointestinal procedure” and was doing just fine. After the National Enquirer broke the news that Swayze actually has pancreatic cancer (and, supposedly, five weeks to live), Wolf insisted it was Swayze who gave her the bad info. Uh huh. Wolf also reps Kiefer Sutherland, so when you’ve got a tip that that 24 star fell off the wagon, don’t believe her spin.
