PHOTOS! Here are pictures of actor model Irina Voronina who is speaking out about HBO’s Entourage staff. Irina Voronina from Playboy to Adult Swim’s Saul of the Mole Men has been a fan of men everywhere for years.

But now Irina claims she and another girl were fired from Entourage which she claims treated her “like a piece of meat”.

HBO would not comment on Irina’s article today to FOX but previously had said her claims were “unfounded and unsubstantiated.”

Voronica tells FOX:

“They were very rude and unprofessional and I was fired from the set along with another girl. Technically we were told there wasn’t space for us to be in the shot anymore, but we knew we were fired because we weren’t nice to the actors. They just treated me like a piece of meat without any respect and every conversation would start and end with “what are you doing later?’”

Jon and Kate reunited this week as they sent their kids off to school. Jon and Kate Gosselin were reunited alongside each other as they sent their twins and then their sextuplets off for their first days of school.

Both Jon and Kate looked happy alongside each other. Jon in recent days has stitches near his eyebrow line while wearing a t-shirt reading lies lies lies.

While the Gosselins held the hands of their adorable kids as they mounted a school bus, the two Gosselins were snapped at least a car’s length apart from each other afterwards, not looking at each other.
