"Sneaky Chef" Sues Seinfeld AGAIN

102908jerry.jpg

“Sneaky Chef” author Missy Lapine is taking another stab at Jerry Seinfeld, claiming he slandered her character by calling her a “nutjob” on national TV. In a previous lawsuit Lapine accused the comic’s wife of stealing her idea for a cookbook that showed parents how to covertly feed their kids healthy foods (sweet potato in a grilled cheese sandwich, avocado in chocolate pudding etc.). A judge ruled against her but nonetheless Seinfeld felt compelled to call her a “wacko” during an appearance on David Letterman. According to the Daily News, the new suit targets the statements made by the sitcom star as well as Harper Collins, who the author says twice rejected her cookbook concept, before handing a book deal to Seinfeld’s wife.

    You certainly couldn't accuse Jerry Seinfeld of being funny.

  • HBHB

    I guess she doesn't realize that the way she's acting is making her look like a wacko.

    Time for this chef to eat crow and move on.

  • Powerhugs

    Exactly - This woman needs to learn that when you are an obsure average person who comes up with a creative idea you are nothing in this world.

  • robingee

    She needs to get past this and find another interest.

    Even food fights are funny when Jerry Seinfeld's involved.

    I hope the photo accompanying this article isn't indicative of Seinfeld's level of humor because if it is, he needs Larry David more than ever.

  • Kevin Walsh

    He is a star, and she isn't, she will lose. That's how it is.

    You said "another stab"!! Har har har!

    Stab!

  • adeez

    That should be dismissed. Insulting someone cannot be slanderous.

    Defamation relies on factually verifiable information.

  • David

    Ugh, buzz off, you litigious skank.

  • longacre

    Wacko.
