Next stop for liberal Democrat Barbra Streisand? Jail. |
Sorry-assed liberal Democrat Babs now has two options left - pay her victim,
or go to jail.
Streisand Hit With $177,000 Legal Bill
Judge orders Babs to pay opponent in aerial photo case
MAY 21--Putting an end to Barbra Streisand's stalling tactics, a California
judge has ordered the singer to cough up $177,000 to cover the legal fees of
her victorious opponent in a recent privacy invasion lawsuit. Last May,
Streisand sued when a California coastal preservation group posted on its
web site an aerial photo (seen at right) showing the singer's oceanfront
Malibu estate. But her complaint was later dismissed by Los Angeles Superior
Court Judge Allan J. Goodman, who awarded legal fees to the California
Coastal Records Project and the group's founder Kenneth Adelman. Streisand,
though, balked at paying and filed motions challenging the $220,000 being
sought by her legal vanquishers. In the below ruling, Goodman just ordered
Babs to fork over exactly $177,107.54.

Her victim?? She sued an environmental group because she felt they were
acting like paparazzi and invading her privacy. The judge felt her lawsuit
was frivolous, and so ordered her to pay the legal fees that group incurred
defending itself. I think "victim" is a biiig stretch... Streisand herself
felt victimized; the courts disagreed.
She'll undoubtedly break out the checkbook and pay it. $177,000 isn't a
whole lot of money to Streisand.
