What happened to the Jared Gillman profile?

Yesterday, we published the Jared Gillman profile. The youngster starred in Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom"; we enjoyed the movie and his performance, and thought he would make a good profile.

Today, we received three emails:

From: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@dmandtalent.com
To: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@jewornotjew.com
Please remove Jared Gilman from your site immediately. He is a minor, and legal action will be taken if you do not comply.

From: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@dmandtalent.com

Jared Gilman is a minor. Please remove his information from your site. If you do not remove it immediately, there will be legal action taken.

From: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@icmpartners.com
To: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@jewornotjew.com
Is there any way to remove this from your website? Jared's family does not appreciate having their son's religion exploited online. Please let me know if you would consider removing Jared. He is only a child and we are all worried about this type of material. Thank you.

Now, we're not ones to give in to Internet bullies, but since that last email did ask nicely, we removed the profile. It's not like his potential Jewishness is hard to verify...

  1. I'm guessing these emails are all coming from Social Services.

  3. I'm sure they will. You may be joking, but these mishegoyim certainly are not.
