Robert Thorne Exits Dualstar - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was posting it on the other board says that Robert Thorne, the guy who created their own company with the twins called Dualstar has finally leaving.

He signs with Hilary Duff, because he didn't like them anymore. So he choses to sign with Duff. The twins made a lot of money. This is what happened from the Bosh website.

Hilary Duff to get Olsen treatment

Hilary Duff's just made a deal with the devil. The devil, at least if you hate the Olsen twins, is Robert Thorne. Thorne, who just might have the worst hair in Hollywood, was responsible for saving the twins from the fate of child star obscurity. He made them into the multi-million dollar brand that they are now by creating the company, Dualstar for them. After being dismissed from Dualstar when the Olsens turned 18, the former CEO started his own firm with ex Dualstar VP, Greg Redlitz. Duff was the perfect choice as their first big client as she has a wide range products bearing her name, just like Mary-Kate and Ashley. "Robert is just the person to help me write the next chapter as an entertainer and a businesswoman," said Duff. Thorne plans to expand Hilary's star power by "ensur[ing] that everything Hilary does is the highest quality that it can be." Knowing Thorne's track record, that likely means tons of "high quality" Hilary t-shirts coming soon to a discount department store near you.

And this is another article from Jossip about what happened to Robert Thorne:

Hilary Duff signs with ex-Olsen manager Robert Thorne

Looking to pick up the slack she's lost to Lindsay Lohan, 17-year-old Hilary Duff has signed on with Robert Thorne's new self-titled management company. Thorne, of course, was the CEO of the M-K+A Olsen's Dualstar Entertainment before his ousting (depending on who you talk to) this year, but not before securing a multimillion dollar buyout. Hilary needs help transitioning from tween (think Lizzie Maguire) to young adult (don't think Britney Spears), which will be her management team's main goal. Thorne was behind the Olsen's billion dollar licensing deals and is expected to put the same marketing power behind Duff, who already has an apparel and beauty product line. But now we can expect to find it everywhere, including our mailbox - where that type of **** always seems to find a home. (Send away, please!) Where this will leave Amanda Bynes, we're not so sure.

He wouldn't have left if the Olsens didn't buy his portion of the company. They are on their own now...
