Hailey Glassman will not attend a promotional news conference to promote her Celebrity Boxing match, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Glassman’s attorney, Stephanie Ovadia, will instead attend the conference on April 7 with a prepared statement from her client. In an exclusive interview, Ovadia told RadarOnline.com that Glassman is prepared to honor her contractual obligation to fight adult film star Gina Lynn, but doesn’t want to cross paths with the match’s recently signed referee and alleged Jesse James mistress, Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.
“Hailey doesn’t want to be seen in the same room with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee,” Ovadia, told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “She will not be going to the news conference.”
As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported Monday, Glassman (who is jewish) is irate over Celebrity Boxing’s decision to sign McGee as the fight’s ref. McGee was the first woman to be linked to Jesse James and has multiple tattoos—some of which are alleged to symbolize white power. RadarOnline.com posted a picture of McGee wearing a Nazi armband and uniform hat while licking a sword. Hailey told RadarOnline.com that the very idea of doing a charity event (like Celebrity Boxing) with an anti-semitic person brings her “to tears.”
“When they first approached me to do this event I was told that the ref would be some random person. Next thing I know it’s this girl with a swastika tattoo and a Nazi arm band,” Hailey told RadarOnline.com. “She better have everything covered up the day of the fight or I’m walking out.”
