FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STATEMENT ISSUED ON BEHALF OF TROI TORAIN DJ "STAR" BY HIS ATTORNEY BENJAMIN BRAFMAN
New York, NY (Thursday, May 11, 2006) - "Mr. Torain offers his sincere apologies to DJ Envy's wife and child for the comments he made which were unsuitable and inappropriate. He reacted after being threatened repeatedly on air by her husband DJ Envy and Miss Jones of Hot 97 to the effect that Star would be harmed upon leaving his place of employment.
Although he responded on air to these threats in an inappropriate manner, Star would like to assure DJ Envy's wife and family that they have no reason to feel threatened or insecure as Star never intended to do them any harm.
The statements Star made in response, while inappropriate, were however made under great duress and at a time when he was fearful for his safety and the safety of members of his staff."
