    98411 jeremy piven as ari gold on hbos entourage Jeremy Piven “Sushi Gate” SettledAfter, well almost forever, we have a conclusion to Jeremy Piven’s Sushi brouhaha.

    An arbitrator cleared Piven of any wrongdoing in connection with a dispute levied against him when he quit “Speed the Plow” after being diagnosed with mercury poisoning after Piven said he ate too much sushi.

    “I’m pleased with the outcome of the arbitration and to be completely vindicated in this matter based on the facts and the medical evidence,” said the Entourage star in a statement.

    Many believe Piven claim he was sick was just a fish story in an effort to get released from his gig in New York production of David Mamet’s Broadway play “Speed the Plow.”

    Testimony from Piven’s doctors swayed the arbitrator enough to give Piven the win, sighting Piven’s 3-day stay in the hospital after eating all that mercury filled fish.

    Even though Piven prevailed, something tells me he wont be invited back to Broadway anytime soon and for that matter, to sushi dinner either.
