RJ Mitte Accused Former Manager of Theft
The 'Breaking Bad' actor and his mother filed a complaint alleging his business manager stole his earnings during the show's peak.
Actor RJ Mitte, best known for his role as Walter White Jr. in "Breaking Bad," accused his former business manager of stealing his earnings at the height of his fame, according to an unearthed police report. Mitte and his mother, Dyna Mitte, filed a theft complaint with the Santa Monica Police Department in September 2015, alleging that his business manager had taken money from him.
Mitte hired showbiz accountant Lisa Harrison, the owner and operator of Harrison Business Management, in 2011 to manage his finances. At the time, Mitte was reportedly earning up to $500,000 per year from acting, modeling, and public speaking engagements in his late teens.
Mitte's mother is understood to have contacted the Santa Monica Police Department in late 2015 after several checks issued by Mitte's company, RFM3 Services, bounced. The actor and his mother alleged that Harrison had stolen money from him.
According to the police report, the complaint alleged that Harrison had stolen money from the actor. The specifics of the outcome of this complaint were not immediately detailed in the unearthed documents. Harrison was pictured with her attorney husband, David Brody.
Mitte, pictured with his fiancée Kennedy Suarez, died by suicide in Brownsville, Texas, on October 12 at the age of 34. His death was confirmed by his family. Sources indicated that Mitte, who played Walter White Jr. in "Breaking Bad" alongside Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn, was earning significant income during his time on the show.
