  • Ashley Greene Condo Fire Drama: Was a Glass Crack Pipe the Cause of the Fire?

    Ashley Greene‘s condo fire lawsuit has had some new twists, and it is looking like it’s becoming a he-said-she-said scenario.

    TMZ initially reported that a glass crack pipe was found in the Twilight star’s West Hollywood condo after a March 2013 fire. However, a source close to the actress told Us Weekly that the report is false.

    TMZ allegedly obtained a sworn deposition of building manager Adrian Mayorga, who is suing Greene after claiming he “suffered permanent respiratory damage” as a result of the fire.

    Several other tenants in the building also are allegedly suing the actress.

    At the time of the fire in March 2013, Greene, 27, her brother, and her then-boyfriend Ryan Phillippe were all supposedly sleeping inside the condo. The blaze also claimed the life of the actress’ dog.

    A source close to Greene debunked the manager’s statement, telling Us, “There was no crack pipe found in Ashley’s apartment. It’s all hearsay from unnamed sources — Mayorga’s claiming he heard from a friend of an unidentified worker who may have entered the apartment. Additionally, Phillippe went on the record saying he wasn’t there.”

    Mayorga allegedly said in the deposition that Greene and her guests looked “disoriented … they looked like they were drunk or under the influence of something.” He also states that a glass crack pipe was found in Greene’s apartment by a man clearing up the wreckage.

    “Of course Ashley was disoriented!” said the source. “She was awoken at 9 a.m. to her house being on fire. Who wouldn’t be?”

    Mayorga said in the deposition that, “The only people I saw getting treated was Ashley Greene, her brother Joe Green, and the current boyfriend, Ryan Phillippe.”

    Phillippe has a sworn declaration saying that he had never been in Greene’s apartment, let alone the night of the fire.

  • Ashley Greene: No Glass Crack Pipe at Fire Scene

    Ashley Greene lost one of her dogs in a fire that tore through her West Hollywood apartment back in March of 2013. After the fire her building manager, Adrian Mayorga, reportedly filed suit against the Twilight actress, saying he “suffered permanent respiratory damage” from the fire he said was Greene’s fault. He also reported that a glass crack pipe was present at the scene of the fire.

    A source close to Ashley Greene recently told Us Weekly that the building manager’s claim was bogus.

    “There was no crack pipe found in Ashley’s apartment. It’s all hearsay from unnamed sources–Mayorga’s claiming he heard from a friend of an unidentified worker who may have entered the apartment. Additionally, Phillippe went on the record saying he wasn’t there,” the source said.

    Adrian Mayorga claimed in his deposition that Greene and her guests appeared “disoriented … they looked like they were drunk or under the influence of something.”

    Mayorga also said that a man cleaning up debris following the fire in Greene’s apartment found a glass crack pipe.

    “Of course Ashley was disoriented! She was awoken at 9 a.m. to her house being on fire. Who wouldn’t be?” the source said.

    And even though Adrian Mayorga claimed he had respiratory damage, he also named everyone he believed received treatment after the fire. He wasn’t among those needing treatment?

    “The only people I saw getting treated was Ashley Greene, her brother Joe Green, and the current boyfriend, Ryan Phillippe,” Mayorga said in his deposition.

    Ryan Phillippe, who is Reese Witherspoon’s ex-husband, submitted a sworn declaration that said not only wasn’t he at Ashley Greene’s apartment the night of the fire, but that he had never even been there at all–not ever.

    Does it sound to you like this building manager is hoping to get something for nothing out of what could have been a potentially deadly fire? By supposedly making up things–like there having been a crack pipe at the scene and the presence of Ryan Phillippe–was he trying to capitalize on any funds the Twilight star might have accrued during her acting career?
