Lizzie Grubman: Court's In Session

You thought the trauma was over for PR queen Lizzie Grubman? Nope: the real trouble has yet to be run down and backed over. The first of two lawsuits, brought by Scott Conlon, a Suffolk County school teacher, is looking for $21 mil in damages. The suit charges that not only was our little Lizzie drinking, but she had consumed "illegal drugs" in the eight hours previous to the incident. Ah, how the lawyers must have cackled when they wrote this paragraph:

53. In particular response to the request of the plaintiff, in his capacity as security supervisor at the aforesaid Conscience Point Inn, for the defendant LIZZIE GRUBMAN to move the motor vehicle, the defendant uttered the statement: "Fuck you, white trash".
