Brigitte DeLuise Lawsuits and Divorce Shenanigans 

A report published on January 23, 2004 purported that Brigitte DeLuise sued her father-in-law actor Dom DeLuise for the tune of $2 million. According to information available on the web, Brigitte sued Dom less than a year after her and the comic actor’s son, David DeLuise, finalized their divorce proceedings. 

The day was Wednesday, January 21, 2004, Brigitte filed a lawsuit  against Mr. Dom DeLuise at Superior Court sitting in Los Angeles (AP) over “conspiracy to cut her off financially” following her divorce from his son regardless of the mutual agreement they (her and David) had that all assets would be “both of theirs (her and David).” In the lawsuit which she withdrew in January 2006, and refiled it June 23, 2006, Brigitte claims “her father-in-law conspired with his financial advisers, Page Ma Business Management, to limit her rights and access to funds.” She also claimed that the ownership of a West Hollywood home was part of the assets she was denied access to. 

Nonetheless, reports published on September 25, 2006, claims that Mr. Dom DeLuise sued Brigitte DeLuise and her lawyer, Steven Zelig, and Zelig’s law firm claiming that their lawsuit against him had caused him emotional-distress. However, Brigitte’s lawyer, Steven, countered the suit, asking a judge to dismiss the lawsuit against him and his client (Brigitte) as Mr. DeLuise didn’t provide any evidence to back up his claims. He also claims that the “lawsuit violated a state law designed to prevent the silencing of critics by burdening them with legal costs.” 

However, Judge Judith C. Chirlin disagreed to the askance, with reasons stated in part, thus; “I find that there were sufficient grounds for the lawsuit to have been filed. There is a likelihood of it prevailing on the merits.” Commemorate that Brigitte DeLuise’s ex-husband, David DeLuise, sued her for divorce in May 2003. 

The lawsuit, first filed by Mrs. DeLuise, Wednesday, January 24, 2004, discharged by the Court of Appeal of California on April 28, 2008. The case details are DeLuise v. DeLuise with the No. B195243 (Cal. Ct. App. Apr. 28, 2008), and full title “DOM DELUISE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. BRIGITTE DELUISE et al.” The court disposition through the order of the superior court ruled that the respondent (Mr. Dom DeLuise) is to recover his costs on appeal. 

“Defendants contend plaintiff failed to comply with Civil Code section 1714.10 pertaining to actions alleging conspiracy claims against an attorney. This contention is without merit, as the complaint did not allege any conspiracy,” the judgements reads in part.
