KRISTIN STIFFED BY OWN DAD!
KRISTIN CAVALLARI claims she was left $250,000 “in the hole” after giving her father, DENNIS, two loans that he never repaid! “My dad came to me - I was filming The Hills, so I must have been 22 - and asked for a large sum of money to borrow. Six figures,” she says.
“I was making great money at the time, but it’s still - I’m 22,” she continued. “Six figures is a big deal for me. But I lent it to him, and he promised me he would pay me back. And, you know, well, I didn’t get paid back. And instead, he asked to borrow more money, another six-figure amount.” Kristin says she’s given up on getting it back. “I will never see that money,” she said. “So, when I tell you, I’m in the hole with my own dad, a quarter of a million dollars.”
CHILD STAR SUED FOR ELDER ABUSE
Former Disney star ERIK VON DETTEN is being sued for elder abuse and fraud! NORMAN GREENBERG, 97, and his wife, SHEILA GREENBERG, 85, claim the Princess Diaries actor exploited their financial fears, leading them to seek $900,000 in damages, by working with his precious-metals buying-and-selling company.
The Greenbergs hope to recoup their losses and receive an additional sum for punitive damages, according to court documents. The couple say they spent around $2.1 million on gold coins allegedly worth only $1.3 million. Erik, who hasn’t responded publicly to the allegations, began his career in 1992 on Days of Our Lives and also starred in the Disney Channel series So Weird.
SPIRALING GUILFOYLE SLAPPED WITH LAWSUIT
Disgraced former U.S. Ambassador to Greece KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE is facing a defamation suit from political donor ERIC DETERS, who claims Guilfoyle and her lawyers accused him of faking their text messages and called him a “known blackmailer,” according to reports.
“The texts are not fake. I have never been accused of or charged with blackmail ... This statement contains the falsehood that I owed Kim Guilfoyle money,” Deters wrote in the filing. Recent reports detailed allegations that Guilfoyle asked Deters to wire $100,000 to her American Express account, a claim she has denied. Text messages appeared to show her pleading with him to keep quiet about their “arrangement,” warning he could “literally cost me my ambassadorship.”
BILLY AMBUSHED AT WEDDING
BILLY BUSH says he was accosted by “unhinged” author AMY GRIFFIN at JENNIFER MEYER and GEOFFREY OGUNLESI’s wedding in Hawaii! Griffin has been caught up in legal battles over her memoir The Tell, and Bush says she beefed with him about his coverage of the claims. Bush said Griffin told other guests not to talk to him during the star-studded affair. The book relates details of Griffin’s alleged rape by a childhood teacher, which were stirred by MDMA therapy as an adult. She is being sued by a former classmate who says she stole her story.
Bush says he told Griffin, “I don’t think this is the time nor the place to have this discussion. I’d love to talk to you on the record and/or off. Either way, at another time, but not now.”
SPOOKY SIGHTINGS... AND MORE!
KYLIE JENNER reportedly drew big backlash from a lineup of supermodels for her appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show after bringing home the fattest paycheck! “These women spent decades building their careers. Kylie shows up for five minutes, collects millions and walks away. It’s insulting!” an insider told ROB SHUTER for his Naughty But Nice Substack column.
Seinfeld co-creator LARRY DAVID admitted he had a spooky encounter with O.J. SIMPSON the same day his ex-wife NICOLE BROWN SIMPSON and her friend RON GOLDMAN were stabbed to death on June 12, 1994. He and fellow writer ALAN ZWEIBEL said they ran into the Juice at their golf club that morning! “[We] saw him in the dining room the day of the murder!” David dished.
Comedy legend MEL BROOKS asked the filmmakers of the Spaceballs sequel to shoot his scenes first - because of his age! “It was his idea,,” according to costar DAPHNE ZUNIGA, who said Brooks added, “You better film me now because I’m 100.” She revealed of Spaceballs: The New One, “It opens April 23rd of next year. BILL PULLMAN is back as my husband. His real son, LEWIS PULLMAN, plays our son, the prince. It was great fun.”
