Brad Fischetti Comments On Former Manager Lou Pearlman’s Arrest

AOL Music’s Popeater caught up with former LFO star Brad Fischetti to get his take on the arrest of his former boss Lou Pearlman on three charges of bank fraud involving more than $100 million. “The local media in Orlando has been discussing the impending charges against Lou for months now, so the fact that the charges have been filed doesn’t surprise me, but the fact that the charges have validity does,” Brad said. “I suppose that as an artist and friend of Lou, one just assumed that Lou was generating income from the scores of successful entities he was involved with. At this point, I am simply saddened by the entire situation and the mounting legal issues facing Lou.”

Don’t get me wrong, we had our issues but I wasn’t frustrated with being in LFO. I was frustrated with the way every thing went with the second LFO album. 2001 brought a menagerie of problems for us, which in itself was frustrating. Despite the problems, I never wanted out of LFO and never even considered doing something on my own until well into the LFO hiatus.”
