The controversy surrounding Australian basketball player Josh Giddey doesn't stop. After he was involved in an affair in which he was suspected of having a forbidden relationship with a minor, and in a racism affair in which it was claimed that if he had been black, he would have been treated differently. Now his agent is also in the eye of the storm, but this time it's not because of these two affairs, but rather because of support for Israel.
Daniel Moldovan, an Australian Jewish agent, has reportedly been fired from Octagon, one of the world's largest actor representation firms, after he responded bluntly to Black Lives Matter's outrageous tweet on social media. Although the organization was founded as a protest organization over police brutality against African-Americans in the United States, it has since become controversial.
A few days after the October 7 Hamas attack, the organization's Chicago branch posted a particularly outrageous post showing a paraglider with a Palestinian flag and the caption "I support Palestine." Moldovan strongly condemned the post, writing: "72 hours after terrorists entered a music festival with parachutes and massacred 260 young people. This is how BLM chose to make it clear who they support. Fuck you BLM and everyone who supports them." The tweet has since been deleted, but Moldovan's response continued to make waves.

The agency confirmed in a statement that Moldovan had indeed been fired: "We have learned that Daniel made comments that do not represent our values or what we stand for. We immediately opened an investigation into the incident, and it was determined that the comments were indeed a serious breach of our policy, and we terminated his employment immediately." But despite his dismissal from the agency, Moldovan will remain on Giddey's team and try to help the star overcome the many affairs he has been involved in recently.
