Frederick Tanne has filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife, her lover and her father, claiming that she passed along to him herpes that she contracted during an affair. Tanne, a big shot financial lawyer says that Robert Stocker, an accountant his wife Amy was having an affair with, knowingly gave her the virus. He then claims that her father, a doctor, covered it up and secretly prescribed her herpes-treatment medication. Amy Tanne's father denies that his daughter ever had herpes, claiming the medication was for a cold sore, adding that, "She never had a cold sore until she married him." Tanne accuses his wife of having numerous affairs until this final one with Stocker prompted him to file for divorce and and move out of their Mount Kisco home and into a Park Avenue apartment in May. He then discovered he had contracted the disease one month ago. Tanne is seeking compensation for medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Don't they have herpes the minute they pass the Bar Exam?
From Mount Kisco to a Park Avenue apartment. Gee! Poor guy is really suffering!
November 11, 2008 --
Oops.
A Manhattan lawyer who sued his estranged wife for allegedly giving him herpes didn't get it from her, court papers say.
White-shoe attorney Frederick Tanne, 47, filed suit against his wife of 22 years, Amy Tanne, 46, earlier this year, charging her straying had left him with Herpes Simplex Virus 2, an STD that caused him to suffer "pain, suffering, emotional, mental, psychological and physical injuries and loss of enjoyment of life."
In court papers filed yesterday, Amy's lawyer, Thomas Mullaney, said his client had a blood test last month and "presented as 'negative' for HSV-2, more commonly known as genital herpes, with which Mr. Tanne is allegedly infected."
Reps for Tanne, a senior partner at Kirkland & Ellis, could not be reached for comment.
