In 2017, Gertz and Reller Los Angeles left and moved to Atlanta to be near the team. She told Ger Thr that she decided to stay away from her career in acting so that she could focus on her work with hawks.

“It is a party when it comes to the state of Statum Farm,” Gex Pitttery told the media. “We won the experience of fans No. 1 for some reason. We have worked hard to get it. So I feel this is Copacetic. I used to go, you must ask [Hawks CEO] Steve Konin, I used to be like “there is no toilet paper in the four -level stalling in the bathroom at the third level. There was a spill in the eighth corridor, it took 25 minutes to come to come. It came without a mop.”

“I am this kind of madness, because I know what people form to buy a ticket. I bought tickets when I could not bear its costs,” she explained. “I have worked hard enough as I can finally become a seasonal ticket holder. So, I am coming from this fans experience in Los Angeles and I see where there was great food, then the food was not good. All these things. I am interested in trying the fans.”
