“And about R. Thorne, he said in an interview when they were about 17, that they couldn’t “fire” him for something like a year. Which leads me to assume that the 10 year contract he had was from their 8th birthday to their 18th birthday. They couldn’t sign him to a 10 year contract when they were 16 because they were minors, and their dad/mom wouldn’t encourage or compell them to sign such a long term contract at that age. Now, with their entertainment careers either over or in suspension, Dualstar doesn’t need his expensive management anymore because the others in their lives can handle it without him at this point.”
