Tommy DeVito – AKA “Tommy Cutlets” – the undrafted starting quarterback for the New York Giants, has taken the world by storm with his quintessential Italian-American panache, his New Jersey charm and winning ways, leading the “Big Blue” to three straight victories.
And with DeVito comes his dapperly-dressed agent, Sean Stellato, who has been making headlines of his own for his fresh fits, sideline phone calls and even a slice of drama.
Stellato recently landed himself in hot water when he hiked DeVito’s appearance fee at Coniglio’s Old Fashioned Pizzeria from $10,000 to $20,000 at the last minute.
Shortly after, the Jersey pizzeria announced on social media that they would no longer be hosting DeVito.
During an appearance on “The Claman Countdown,” Stellato addressed the rumors surrounding the incident, saying it was all a “miscommunication.”
“There was obviously a miscommunication. And if I caused that, I apologize.
That wasn’t my intention,” he said.
“This is obviously behind us. Tommy went in there, met the owner, and we’re actually excited to next month to do a charitable appearance there [Coniglio’s].
He’s not taking an appearance fee, and it’s going to be great for that area.”
Despite the mix-up, DeVito made amends with the pizza shop and met with the owner – noticeably without Stellato.
“I was very disappointed to hear that. You’re talking about one of the top players ever to play the game and to hear that out of his mouth was very disappointing,” Stellato said.
“I have four daughters, a wife, and I live my life to be curious, not judgmental.
And for him to just make assumptions, he doesn’t know the road I’ve traveled, nor my clients have traveled.
And it’s been a lot of grit, a lot of cutting teeth, but doing it the right way.”
“I’m focused on my clients, which every day I’m fighting for, I’m staying resilient for,” Stellato continued.
“And I’m never backing down for. Anything else that comes out of it, I have no control. ”
