Ellen made fun of a real estate agent Teetee Pierce on t.v. and now the woman is suing for emotional distress. The actual spelling of the woman's name is Titi and of course Ellen mis-pronounced it. Ellen showed a real estate sign with the name on it, and instead of enjoying the free publicity Ms. Pierce is complaining the show didn't block out her cell # on the sign, and Titi supposedly received hundreds of calls during a family funeral. Which begs the question, why didn't Ms. Pierce turn off her cell during the funeral?
Titi claims no one has made fun of her name before. Where on earth did she go to school?
I realize people love to sue celebrities -- when Dave Letterman said something "iffy" his show played a jingle "oh no, we're gonna be sued!" He was more mean-spirited than Ellen, who gives away a lot of $$$$ on her show.
I'm betting this will be settled long before it goes to trial. How would you handle it?
