Chalk this one up in the "Too Much Information" file, nestled in the "Ew!" folder...
According to the Associated Press, a judge threw out a $10 million civil assault lawsuit Monday filed against Liza Minnelli by her estranged husband, David Gest, who claimed she beat him so badly during alcoholic rages he had to be hospitalized.
The gist of the ruling was that Gest was unable to refute the statement from Minelli's doctor that his headaches were actually caused by a strain of herpes that causes shingles, and not by beatings.
Gest's lawyer says she will appeal the ruling, and that he has tested negative for the virus. The judge, New York State Supreme Court Justice Jane Solomon (do you think she was a Liza fan?) said that the only issues remaining in her court are those in which Minnelli claims in a $2 million suit that Gest misappropriated her earnings.
I believe this is where someone is supposed to say "PWND."
