That university student who Lindsay Lohan allegedly stole a $11,000 mink coat doesn’t just want a payment and apology anymore — she wants to drag Lindsay’s good name through the courts. Masha Markova is suing Lohan for lifting her grandmother’s soft outerwear from a coat bin after a private party at the nightspot 1Oak, though she never would’ve known Lohan had been the supposed culprit had it not been for paparazzi photos published in OK! and elsewhere. [NYP] jReads the lawsuit, in part: “Defendant’s [Lohan's] actions were intentional, oppressive and malicious and were carried out with reckless disregard for plaintiff’s rights … Plaintiff has been injured by the defendant’s actions.” You’re free to read that as: “Spoiled 22-year-old Ivy Leaguer sees chance at 15 minutes of fame by filing frivolous lawsuit instead of trying to gouge Lindsay’s coffers privately.”
The Columbia student whose $11k mink coat Lindsay Lohan allegedly stole now wants six-figures in punitive damages from the starlet, even though Masha Markova already said that after a dry cleaning and a patch job, the coat was as good as new. Meanwhile, Lindsay’s rep Leslie Sloane Zelnik insists, “Lindsay did not steal a coat.” This is the same Zelnik who, in the past, refused to comment on Lindsay’s personal matters, insisting she only represented her movie career, SO YOU KNOW THIS IS SERIOUS.
If it weren’t for OK! magazine, 22-year-old Columbia University student Masha Markova might have lost her $11,000 mink coat forever. But when the magazine ran photos of Lindsay Lohan wearing the one-of-a-kind coat (a gift from Markova’s grandmother) after the Ivy League student lost it at the nightclub 1Oak, at a party where she sat by La Lohan and deposited her coat in a common bin, she got on the Google and found other paparazzi pics of Lohan wearing the expensive duds.
She even saw Lohan had switched coats after partying at 1Oak, arrived in a black number but leaving in the mink. She had to have stolen it! CONTINUED »
