  "account": "Entourage creator Doug Ellin expressed his disapproval of a recent advertisement featuring former co-stars Jeremy Piven and Adrian Grenier. The ad, promoting Jake Paul's social betting platform Betr, featured the actors reprising their roles as Ari Gold and Vinny Chase, respectively. Ellin criticized the ad on social media, calling it \"trash and theft\" and stating that he had \"zero positivity\" for it. He emphasized that he had dedicated years of hard work to his show and that the ad represented a \"cheap, sh–ty imitation\" of his creation. Ellin also expressed his appreciation for the actors and the positive response the ad received, but stressed that they should \"go create your own s–t\" instead of attempting to capitalize on his work.",
