A Nose For News
God help me if Andrea Peyser ever follows me into the bathroom (scroll past the always-tasteful Q Confidential profile at the top of the page) — she’s a real pain in the ass:
Posted: June 2nd, 2006 | Filed under: QueensMaria Minucci, mother of Howard Beach defendant Nicholas “Fat Nick” Minucci, did her best to flush out reporters and columnists who hounded her on the first day of her son’s hate crime trial at Queens Supreme Court.
When NY Post columnist Andrea Peyser and a slew of newshounds followed Minucci and a friend into a courthouse bathroom, Mama Minucci quickly locked herself in a stall — shouting for the press to “leave her alone.”
When Peyser asked Minucci — through the stall door — if she thought her son had lost a lot of weight since his arrest, the friend piped up, “We’re here for two reasons, ONE and TWO. Get it? Now go!”
The answer didn’t work, though. The group waited, and followed Minucci and her friend back into the courtroom. We heard a flush, but we don’t know if it was due to reason one or two.
