Teen Queen Suing Disney
ABC and Disney are being sued for $100,000,000 by Alicia Guastaferro, the “princess of pagentry” for emotional harm (i.e. suicidal thoughts, school transfers, death threats, and a reduction in intellectual performance, among others) caused by appearing on ABC’s “Wife Swap” program as well as claiming that the producers staged certain scenes (e.g. asking Guastaferro to “act a little more spoiled” or suggesting that the teen received a present every day).
The suit alleges that ABC/Disney never obtained consent for Alicia Guastaferro to be on the episode, but her mother received $20,000 in compensation.
Wow, she needs to get a life. I should sue her for wasting valuable air time that family shows could have used.
