MENA SUVARI - SUVARI'S EX FUMES AT PUBLICISTS' BEHAVIOUR

MENA SUVARI's estranged husband ROBERT BRINKMANN has blasted the actress' publicists for being insensitive to him in the weeks following the couple's shock split.

The AMERICAN BEAUTY star, 26, ended her five year marriage to the 43-year-old cinematographer in May (05) and filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences" and soon found love with Australian pilates instructor JAY BULLOCH.

In an online diary he made for FilmForce.IGN.com while directing forthcoming documentary STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, Brinkmann tells of his shock at how quickly Suvari's publicists at PMK acted to announce the separation.

He says, "After working with our wonderful publicist on STBP for the past nine months, I experienced just how unpleasant a bad publicist can be.

"Less than two weeks after I found out for the first time that my wife of five years was leaving, her eager publicists at PMK put out a press release to that effect.

"Apparently, the option of not commenting is entirely foreign to them, as they told her this 'had to be done'. Having this news released led to all of my friends and family finding out about it from the press instead of me.

"To make things even less pleasant, some genius at the PMK office failed to realise that when Mena moved out of the house, her fax number might have changed as well, so they kept sending me stacks of faxes of all the tabloid coverage of the beach vacation she went on with her Pilates instructor/boyfriend."
