Following a controversial bout with mercury poisoning, Piven dropped out of his Broadway show Speed the Plow, sparking a media onslaught and legal trouble with the play’s producers.

“It’s almost behind him,” Lee, who plays Ari Gold’s (Piven) assistant Lloyd, told RadarOnline.com. “I think the story was so unusual that people had a strange reaction to it.”

Lee continues, “I’ve known Jeremy for a long time and I’ve witnessed him eating sushi at least twice a day or more. Plus there was that Chinese herbalist who told him to take all those herbs, which turned out to be bad for him.”
