Quantcast Vegetarian StarJeremy Piven’s Mercury Madness Results In Mockery: Fishy Fool!

15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet

He looks suspicious, and the Actors’ Equity grievance committee is looking to uncover the truth.

Jeremy Piven was set to appear in front of the committee today to give his case on how mercury poison forced him to withdraw from the production of Speed-the-Plow.

Add one more reason to the list of why you shouldn’t eat fish, besides the fact that it’s bad for the planet (and the fishes too, of course): People will laugh their arses off when you get sick.

“It’s my understanding that he’ll be there — unless he has too much sushi on the plane from LA,” someone involved in the proceedings joked, according to the New York Post.

The actor went on sick leave from the Broadway production months ago after he claimed doctors found as much as five times the amount of normal mercury levels in his blood. 

He never returned to the show, even after he allegedly got better.

The Producers of Speed-the-Plow alleged Jeremy really wasn’t sick with mercury poisoning, and that he went partying during the time he supposedly was on bed rest.

If Piven can’t produce the results showing he was sick, he could be forced to settle financially with the producers.

Piven had said then that, “years of being a fish eating vegetarian was enough to do the trick and act as a catalyst.”
