Deep breath paisanos, PR disaster averted for Tommy DeVito! 😰
Simply hours after the NYG sign caller caught grief on-line, DeVito made issues proper with an area Jersey restaurant proprietor and followers by exhibiting up and hanging out with a gang of Large Blue followers … the place he took pictures, signed autographs, and ate!
The controversy began this week when the house owners of Coniglio’s Outdated Common pizzeria in Morristown (NJ) accused the 25-year-old rookie of going again on his phrase, alleging Tommy agreed to a $10k look payment, solely to double his charge after the Giants’ big MNF win over the Packers on December 11.
However, we’re instructed the entire thing was only a large misunderstanding.
Sean Salci, DeVito’s advertising agent and legal professional, instructed us his consumer wasn’t conscious of what was occurring, and there was by no means a concrete deal in place.
Nonetheless, DeVito was criticized, and the younger sign caller needed to make everybody pleased … so he made a shock look on the pizza parlor.
“DeVito and the owner made good,” Salci mentioned. “He got the full experience today.”
