It appears as though “The Apprentice” director Ali Abbasi has survived his stint without representation, as the filmmaker has now signed with UTA, according to multiple media reports.
The news comes two weeks after it was reported that Abbasi parted ways with CAA and Management 360 after an alleged January groping incident with an unnamed A-List actor.
“I made an over-familiar gesture — a slap on the rear — which I intended as playful and not in any sexual way whatsoever,” he told TheWrap last month. “I apologized to him on the spot, and the following day I made sure my apology was reiterated through my representatives.”
