Matthew Paetz's Former Boss at Escort Company Defends Him Amid Lea Michele Split

Matthew Paetz‘s former boss at the escort company Cowboys4Angels is defending him from negative press amid his split from longtime girlfriend Lea Michele.

It was reported by E! News that Matthew, 30, decided to leave Lea, 29, “all of a sudden and without warning.”

“She got no reason or explanation for the split,” the source said, adding that Matthew refuses to speak to Lea or anyone close to her.

Garren James, the founder and CEO of Cowboys4Angels, says that this characterization is unlike the person he knows.

“I am personally upset that Matthew Paetz is getting a bad rap for his recent break up with Lea Michele. The time he worked with Cowboys4Angels, he received amazing reviews and was one of our top requested men,” Garren said in a statement. “The friends of Lea are saying he was just some opportunist, when in fact he met her on a video shoot, and the two fell in love. He left the Cowboys4Angels agency immediately after meeting her. He did this even though he was one of the top earners for the company.”
