Cody Rhodes‘ agent Brian Wittenstein has been fired from his role at Hyperion Talent Agency amid allegations of misconduct.
Wittenstein represents both Cody and his wife, former AEW star Brandi Rhodes.
According to Deadline, Wittenstein left the agency after a client made a complaint about the agent’s inappropriate behavior.
Deadline reports the following:
“Details are sketchy but according to sources, whatever Wittenstein did had made her uncomfortable. Word is that the due diligence over the sexual misconduct allegation uncovered previous instances, and Wittenstein was let go.
“He was escorted out of the building Wednesday. Wittenstein’ presence was immediately removed from Hyperion’s IMDb Pro pages.”
In a statement to Deadline, the agency stated:
“Brian Wittenstein is no longer an employee of Hyperion Talent Agency. We have no further comment at this time.”
Wittenstein himself released a statement in which he said the following:
“I have amicably parted ways with Hyperion Talent Agency to pursue other opportunities. I have no further comment at this time.”
In addition to the Cody and Brandi Rhodes, Wittenstein is said to have represented several other wrestlers. However, it is not public knowledge who any of them were.
Rhodes famously left AEW back in January of this year, returning to WWE back at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas as the chosen opponent on the show for Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.
He has been out of action with a torn pectoral muscle since the WWE Hell In A Cell show back in June following his iconic performance inside the steel structure.
