TNA Knockout Angelina Love's agent tells the Torch that TNA and Angelina "parted ways" on Thursday, Sept. 4 after an apparent "miscommunication" on the status of her Visa to work in the U.S.

"This separation was based purely on a miscommunication of Angel Williams's present Visa status," said Angelina's agent, Michael Klyzub. "This in no way has anything to do with contract disputes or trouble with the office as has been reported (elsewhere)."

Angelina's agent claims that Angelina will be welcomed back to TNA "with open arms" when the Visa issue is resolved. He did not specify how long the process will take to resolve the issue.

Angelina's agent also declined to address why she did not renew the Visa when it was set to expire and why the issue only came up when TNA was reportedly beginning contract negotiations.

Caldwell's Analysis: This was a public relations move by Angelina's agent to put forth a good word about TNA and his client. There are still unresolved issues that were apparently part of the "miscommunication," and showed why TNA needs to address the Talent Relations department. Jeff Jarrett being sent home, Kurt Angle's arrest, Angle vs. Khan's smear campaigns, Christopher Daniels slapped with a DUI and arrested, and Angelina leaving the company due to Visa issues that weren't found out about until after-the-fact with zero official comments to defend, clarify, or explain each of these situations publicly shows serious deficiencies in TNA's operations. They can't just sweep everything under the rug before people notice the giant bulge in the middle of the room. It's more than just a few isolated incidents at this point.
