Yahoo Sports Scottie Pippen includes 5-year-old in lawsuit, claims she vandalized mansion with crayons
Last year, NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen sued a couple who rented his South Florida mansion, claiming they caused $110,000 in damage while renting it.
Now he’s added their five-year-old daughter to the legal fight, claiming the child defaced the Fort Lauderdale home with crayons and markers.
The defendants in the lawsuit are comedian Lindsay Glazer Woloshin, aka The Alphabitch, and her husband Jacob Woloshin. Lindsay is also an attorney.
Pippen cites animal urine, stolen utensils in suit
According to the lawsuit, the couple allowed pets to urinate inside the house, damaged countless cabinets and drawers, stole utensils and missed payments on the house they agreed to rent for $30,000 a month when they moved in after their home was damaged by Hurricane Irma.
An update to the lawsuit obtained by the Miami Herald shows that Pippen has now named the daughter in the case and faulted the couple for their “failure as parents.”
Damage via “markers, crayons”
From the lawsuit:
47. At all times material hereto, Defendants Woloshin and Glazer were both the natural and custodial parents of their minor child, D.M.
48. At all times material hereto, Woloshin and Glazer were charged with custody over D.M., and relatedly, responsibility for her conduct.
49. While Defendants were tenants in the Property, they permitted D.M. to deface certain elements of the Property with markers, crayons and/ or cause damage of similar nature.
50. As a direct and proximate result of property damage, and Defendants failure as parents, Plaintiff was damaged in the nature of repair costs.
A comedian defendant’s response
Glazer Woloshin responded to the amended lawsuit in a press release.
"All jokes aside, who would have ever thought that Dennis Rodman would be strengthening relations with North Korea, and Scottie 'no tippin' Pippen would be the crazy one suing little girls?" Glazer Woloshin wrote.
Glazer Woloshin’s original response to the lawsuit was to start a gag GoFundMe campaign to raise $14 for a set of knives Pippen claims the family stole and to use the donations for a military veterans fund.
"With all of the publicity this ridiculous case was getting, we thought it good to use it as an opportunity to raise funds for the Fisher House Foundation, which assists military and veteran's families," Glazer Woloshin told the Broward Palm Beach New Times.
House was listed for $10 million
According to The Herald, the family moved into the fully furnished six-bedroom mansion along with their dog, cat and a nanny in 2017 and paid a $50,000 deposit on the house listed on the market for $10 million.
The Woloshin’s attorney told the Daily Business Review that some damage may have been done to the house, but not to the excess the lawsuit claims.
