Whenever it suits our petty, reality-twisting agenda, Defamer is committed to dedicating the occasional post to the furthering of a reasoned debate on a story we've covered. In response to our Special Correspondent on Onetime Agents Who May Have Bluffed About Their Client Lists' missive about fame-fearing, resume-embellishing World Series of Poker champion Jamie Gold, a former client writes in to defend Gold from blog-enabled character assassination:
Gentlemen or Ladies,Jamie Gold represented me as an agent/manager from 1996 to my semi-retirement back to Georgia in 2004, and was a friend and adviser for several years before that. While I have never been a household word (other than overseas, thanks to the popularity of the 80's soap Santa Barbara), I did manage to have a respectable career, none of it in porn, thanks in large part to Jamie Gold.
We have both ridden the Hollywood roller coaster, sometimes together, sometimes separately over the years, but have remained friends, both in business and personally. Based on an almost twenty-year relationship, I can say with confidence that Jamie Gold is what he says he is, give or take the usual embellishments any resume is prey to. He is a truly good guy who has both earned and deserves his good fortune."O, beware, my lord, of Jealousy;

Let the record reflect that Jamie Gold had a working client besides Ron Jeremy, and according to this former associate, any resume embellishments Gold made during his WSoP media sessions may have fallen within the acceptable range of "typical agent bullshit."
We look forward to notes from James Gandolfini, Felicity Huffman, Lucy Liu, or anyone else from Gold's disputed client list clarifying his involvement in the shaping of their careers.
