Shannon Price’s Agent: ‘I Have Seen Her Pain’

Shannon Price's agent is speaking out in reaction to a statement alleging that there has been foul play in the Gary Coleman saga, telling ET exclusively, "I have seen her pain."

Gary's former manager Dion Mial -- who was appointed executor of his estate in his 1999 will -- released a statement regarding events surrounding the former "Diff'rent Strokes" star's passing, saying, "I wholeheartedly believe there was foul play, here. … There has been absolutely nothing covert about [Shannon's] behavior and how sadly she has handled this situation. In fact, she's shamelessly brazen and coldly matter-of-fact about this precious life that we've lost."

When asked for a response from Shannon, her manager Sheila Erickson told ET, "This [statement] is coming from someone that has not been close to her. I have seen her pain, I have seen how for days she cannot hold down food. How she watches 'Diff'rent Strokes' and listens to Gary's favorite songs and cries. The statement [above] is by someone very cold. Gary and Shannon really did love each other! I saw it! I still see her love for him."
