Billy Joel’s Ex-Manager: We Didn’t Sneak the Biopic Past Him
Billy Joel’s former manager is getting ahead of the drama surrounding the upcoming biopic \”Billy and Me\” — and he’s insisting he played everything straight with the Piano Man.
Irwin Mazur, the guy spearheading the project, told TMZ he actually tried to get Billy to read the script early on. The whole \”sneaking it past him\” narrative? Not happening, according to Mazur. He claims he was transparent from the jump and never attempted to hide the biopic from Joel.
The project has clearly hit some turbulence if Joel’s ex-manager is already doing damage control. Mazur’s defending his intentions and making it clear he didn’t try to defame the legendary musician — he just wanted to tell the story. Whether Billy Joel sees it the same way remains to be seen, but Mazur’s making his position crystal clear: this wasn’t a backdoor operation.
