Owner of escort agency where Lea Michele’s ex worked says he was requested often

The founder and CEO of the escort agency where Lea Michele’s ex, Matthew Paetz, was employed raved about him and said he shouldn’t be getting a bad rap now.

Garren James, who founded Cowboys4Angels, had nothing but good things to say about his former employee and thinks that it’s wrong that his reputation is taking a hit because of his breakup with the actress.

“I am personally upset that Matthew Paetz is getting a bad rap for his recent break up with Lea Michele,” James said in the statement to Yahoo. “The time he worked with Cowboys4Angels, he received amazing reviews and was one of our top requested men.”

His past employment history won’t offer comfort to Michele after it was reported that he broke things off with her suddenly and she was looking to her friends to help her through the breakup.

Paetz was the first man the Glee star dated since the death of her former boyfriend Cory Monteith three years ago.
