Oh boy.

7.7 million punitive damages.

Yikes.  Coupled with the other award that's almost 8.5 million.  Did any of the Barker settlements go that high?

I'd say lower. Damn! This is big!

Serves you right, Mikey!  :dsw:
I hope Brandi returns soon, she was one of the sexy ladies on the show. ;-)

Kathy sure as hell isn't much better. I am really disappointed with her antics too. And quite surprised.

Guess we'll be seeing Pay the Rent, That's Two Ninth, and $19,191 Lucky $even for...forever.

We can be thankful for one thing, though: we might actually see the end of the shoecase.

I highly doubt that any of that will happen just because they lost a suit.

If Mikey has to come up with the $7 million lost due to the actions of his staff or CBS will bust his ass?

Actually, CBS might just bust his ass.

It's fun to joke about cheap prizes, but much of the money awarded to Brandi will come from liability insurance. Still, that's a lot of dough.
Before you call your lawyer to sue me, know that everything contained in this post and in all of my posts past, present and future is entirely MY PERSONAL OPINION.

Then I guess we don't have too much to worry about. Nevertheless, it's still doesn't change the fact that Brandi finally got justice.

And trot out the Fremantle response....

Quote
"We believe the verdict in this case was the result of a flawed process in which the court, among other things, refused to allow the jury to hear and consider that 40 percent of our models have been pregnant,” and further “important” evidence, FremantleMedia said.

Let's zoom in on one part for a second....

Quote
refused to allow the jury to hear and consider that 40 percent of our models have been pregnant

Frankly, I don't see this holding any water in an appeal. Saying 40 percent of our models have been pregnant as defense in a discrimination case is like a suspected racist saying "But I have black friends."
