Here’s a little background - Missy Chase Lapine, the author of the “Sneaky Chef” accused Jessica Seinfeld of ripping off her cookbook. Jerry defended his wife and also made a few jokes on Letterman about people with three names - James Earl Ray and Mark David Chapman, for instance - turning out to be assassins. Lapine didn’t find it funny and sued for libel. (Check out the joke that launched hundreds of billable hours)
In federal court papers explaining her position for a December hearing, Lapine said she “never felt so frightened and vulnerable” as when her 7 year-old daughter came home from school “and asked, ‘Mom, what is an assassin?’” Hmmm… the only time I ever thought of Jerry as frightening was when I pictured him with his clothes off.
That’s her basis for libel - please I’ll give you something to be frightened and vulnerable about - it’s called violation of First Amendment Rights, which is what Lapine wants the courts to do so that she can feel safe. Please she certainly felt safe to use her First Amendment Rights to call Jessica Seinfeld a plagiarist.
