We Hated It So Much That We Bought Ten More Of The Same Thing
The couple suing the Catskills resort for lack of sex returned to the same resort nine days later for a followup visit, the Daily News reports:
Posted: March 9th, 2006 | Filed under: Insert Muted Trumpet's Sad Wah-Wah HereA couple who filed a $20 million lawsuit against a Catskills hotel after allegedly being attacked by bedbugs returned to the resort for another stay just nine days later, a lawyer for the hotel told the Daily News yesterday.
Leslie Fox and Stephen Cohen checked in at the Nevele Hotel on July 15, 2005 — then returned from July 24 to July 29, attorney Joseph O’Connor said.
“The claim for a $20 million injury is not substantiated by her willingness to stay in the same section of the hotel two weeks later,” he said.
Fox, 54, claims in a suit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court that she experienced “great physical and mental pain” after suffering 500 bedbug bites during a July 10-15 visit to the Nevele.
Fox told The News yesterday that she returned to the hotel a second time because her husband was under contract to give a lecture on Jewish humor and she wanted to go with him.
“I was absolutely loath to have to go back there, and I went back with great apprehension,” Fox said.
She did not mention the second visit during a news conference on Tuesday. In fact, she said then that she balked at the hotel’s offer of two free nights to make up for their alleged ordeal.
