Response to Brian Quintana Article


The following message arrived this morning regarding the article by Harriet Ryan, which was published on Sunday March 22nd, 2009 on the front page of the Los Angeles Times regarding Brian Quintana. This message was also sent to the Los Angeles Times letters section.

Hollywood A-Lister

Shame on the LAT for the hatchet job you did on producer Brian Quintana last Sunday (3/22/09). As a native of East LA who has emerged as one of the ranking Latinos in Hollywood, Brian serves as a role model to countless Latinos and young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds like me. Prior to his current lawsuit against Jon Peters, Brian has sued exactly one person, and that was in small claims Court in 1995. You failed to mention that he has never been sued until the current counter claim by Peters. That's not bad in the entertainment industry. As for his prior arrests, you fail to mention that they were both misdemeanors in 1998. He has no new arrest since 1998 and has never been convicted of a felony. Further, he has been clean and sober for over seven years, and is quite public about his background when he speaks to inner-city youth. That is probably why I relate to him. Your article will not break him. He is bigger than that, and thanks to him so am I.

Mike Dean is actually Quintana. Mike Dean is a fake name he uses in order to post about himself. He has harassed me and several other people using the name Mike Dean. Quintana is a liar, a hypocrite and accuses people unjustly for money. He should be jailed and taught a lesson.
