Smuckers statement about Johnny Weir
Here is the STATEMENT I found on Smuckers Website. I am so outraged and they only allowed comments that were positive and will not allow anyone else to comment. Johnny should be invited on the tour period.
Dear Fans
We are disappointed that there is untrue and inaccurate information being disseminated. Please be assured that the “gender identity and sexual orientation†of cast members has never been a consideration in the selection of tour performers.
Stars on Ice recognizes Johnny Weir is a talented athlete and we appreciate the contributions he has made to the international figure skating community throughout his career.
The current cast of the Stars on Ice tour includes very talented performers including the Olympic Gold medalist, Evan Lysacek and the current U.S. National Champion, Jeremy Abbott.
While Stars on Ice wishes it could accommodate many more talented skaters as part of our cast, the fact is we cannot sign every skater.
Thank you again for contacting us with your questions and be assured that the comments mentioned regarding the Stars on Ice tour are simply not accurate.
