U.G.L.Y. You ain’t got no alibi: You ugly! Hey! Hey! You ugly.
It’s one thing, ladies and gentlemen, to get up in arms if your fiancée cheats on you, has a credit-card problem, or has a weird obsession with Wizard of Oz tchochkes. But hell, there’s no reason to bring a lawsuit because your bride-to-be is ugly!
But, that’s exactly what a traditional Hindu family out in Massachusetts is doing. Indeed, Vijai Pandey filed a lawsuit against his friends who tried to arrange a marriage between his son and their niece. Apparently, after spending loads of cash on long-distance phone calls and airfare, the family went out to India only to learn that the niece was a bit on the coyote-ugly side. According to the lawsuit, Pandey claimed that they were “extremely shocked to find … she was ugly … with protruded bad teeth, and couldn’t speak English to hold a conversation,” and also had a bad complexion. The Pandey family is seeking $200,000 in damages – good god, she must have been hideous.
Though it hasn’t been filed yet, we expect the niece’s family to bring their own countersuit any day now, seeking $500,000 because Pandey is an asshole. If successful, however, this lawsuit does beg the question: How much is Star Jones’ husband entitled to?
