No word on the fine details, but this item was given to the owners of The Meraz Effect website directly from Alex’s management. Thanks to Twilight Lexicon for the tip! Via @twilightlexicon.

“Dear Alex fans…in the next few days, we will be removing everything from our website that is in regards to the film Sugar. I was given the following note to pass along from Alex’s management. I do not have further details at this time….

“Alex will be pulling his involvement with the film SUGAR. Please DO NOT make any donations to fund the film.”

Fellow fansites: Please make sure to post this on your sites and get the info out to your fans. I can assure you this is legit.”

Roughly 48 hours ago the Sugar website was trying to raise extra funds for the film(the figure mentioned was roughly $50,000) by promoting private lunches with Alex and other Alex connected items, as well as other things non-Alex related. No word of why the sudden, dramatic turn of events.
