In spite of a business argument between brothers Dion and David Giarusso last Thursday, which ended with a physical altercation, both report that the company will continue its daily business activities as they attempt to work out their differences.
“I did something really wrong. I hit him and gave him a concussion, and that was not the way to handle the argument,” Dion Giarusso said. “I realize I need help for my anger and I’m going to get it.”
David Giarusso, for his part, said that he’s physically in the company offices, speaking with the directors, making sure orders go out as planned and keeping business as usual at the company.
When hearing of Dion’s plans to get help, David responded, “that’s really good to hear.”
“I care about Red Light and everything we worked for over the last two years,” Dion said. “It has to go on. We have a big booth in Vegas for AEE, three tables at the awards show and lots of appointments.
“This is a good company that does very well and it’s important to out producers and employees that things continue as they were.”
“I’m not talking about it to anyone,” David said. “This is between two brothers and that’s it.”
David denied rumors that the dispute had arisen over "selling product out the back door," as reported by Mike South. He also denied that Jake Malone had been fired; in fact Malone has two shoots scheduled this week.
"Jake was the first person I talked to this morning. We talked for about forty minutes, everything was worked out, and he's still working here. The rumors were not true," David said.
Both brothers report that they had a meeting scheduled this evening with their attorneys to discuss the best way to proceed.
