Battle notes from the Hartford Courant
This concludes my look at the countess divorce of Marie Douglas-David and George David… at least for today on this payday loan blog you know and love. CLICK HERE if you missed my tiff with “sheri.”
Rick Green blogs for the Hartford Courant that the “Grossest Divorce of the Greatest Depression” marches on. I’m sure sheri will call him a sexist jerk for it, too, but Green is “starting to fall for the $300 million man” George David, who is “under siege from Marie Douglas-David.”
As can be expected, Douglas-David’s lawyer is attempting to prove that David’s behavior nullifies the 2005 post-nuptial agreement that grants the Swedish countess around $38 million.
She wants $100 million
Want to know how Douglas-David’s lawyer is attempting to spin the story that David “abandoned” the post-nup?
According to Green, David “forked out $600,000 over the last year, paying Douglas-David’s bills even after they were headed to divorce court. He allowed her to stay at their Park Avenue home. They went out to the ’simple beach house’ together at Sagaponack.” All the while, the couple made champagne toasts on a yacht, summered in a $425,000 rental in the Hamptons and skipped over to the Isle of Capri.
How is that “abandonment?” I’m sure sheri is ready to answer this question. Please, comment on these former non-combatants who said “I love you” by text message.
Show us the money… because we can’t look away
George David and Marie Douglas-David were known for their “mudfights” and “high drama,” but according to Douglas-David’s lawyer, they were just a couple “trying to make it work.” Come on, make up your mind, legal eagle. I thought we were going with the abandonment theme here… does your strategy change every few minutes?
But here’s the punch line, straight from Douglas-David’s lawyer: “She didn’t want a divorce…promises were made. There was intolerable cruelty!” To which David’s lawyer rebutted: “This was a woman who did what she wanted, where she wanted, when she wanted to!”
Green goes on to talk about courtroom style in the splashy manner we’d expect from a society page. But money is the question here, and Green reports that Douglas-David’s hair looked smashing. The $1,000 weekly hair upkeep cost (per court record) is money well-spent.
When did this much greed become so fascinating to the American consciousness?
