Just Kidding!
Filed under: Legal Matters
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has asked the courts to throw out a lawsuit brought against him for making fun of Missy Chase Lepine, the woman suing his wife for plagiarism.
A comedian making fun of someone is one thing. But disparaging her reputation??? That's major shiz.
Refresher, ya'll!
Lepine is the author of The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals. It's a book about how to sneak veggies into dishes in a way your kids would never suss out.
Said book came out in April 2007. Mrs. Seinfeld's book, Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food also features ways to fake out your kids by putting veggies in their meals. Seinfeld's book was published in October 2007.
Lepine claims that since her book was out first and that there are some EERILY similar recipes that Seinfeld is a total copycat.
Lawyers for the Seinfelds dismissed the plagiarism allegations in the court filing, saying, "The idea of sneaking healthy foods into a child's diet is not original to your (Lepine) author."
So after Lepine filed the plagiarism lawsuit Jerry Seinfeld went on the Letterman and called Lapine a wacko and compared her to the killers of John Lennon and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Lepine didn't appreciate that and filed a suit accusing him of slander and defamation.
"Jerry Seinfeld made overstatements of opinion for comic effect," the comedian's lawyers said in the filing.
Overstatement? That's the best your high priced lawyer could come up with??????

Did you ever notice how when Seinfeld started there were scenes of his dreadful "comedy" at the bginning and end? Then someone wised up and ditched that part of the show and made it more about George and Kramer and Elaine…because they were actually humorous. Pretty sad when a "comedian" is the straight man on his own show. Larry David is a genius!
Oh please. Lepine should be paying Seinfeld. This is more attention she's EVER gotten on her own, which of course was the whole point of her lawsuit.
Re: vegcook – So has my grandma. Maybe my grandma should sue Lepine.
Old Jerry and his "mindless" are LOSERS!!!!!!!!
Seinfeld is an asshole……always has been. He has always been way too full of himself……..And he isn't even funny !I hope this lady wins her lawsiut. Hell, Howard Stern's cousin sue his ass and won……..had something to do with bees. Yeah Jerry thought he founded bees….what an asshole. Jerry go away….no one cares about you, your not funny and never were…….take your stupid bee movie and shove it up your egotisical ass………
I hope the author is HEAVILY compensated by Jerry Seinfeld and his wife for the personal comments Jerry made and the skanky book-copying by his wife. Jerry is such old news. And the Bee Movie? Bleah. Moveon, Seinfelds.
That lawsuit is bullshit. There isn't anyway she will win it. My son's pediatrition was telling me to hide healthy food in his meals 13 years ago. Maybe she should sue both of these twits. I guess this is Lepine's way of bringing attention to herself and her book. I bet you could go to the local bookstore and find 20 books on this very subject. Big deal…
he is a loser! and she is a golddigger!
Lepine did not file a lawsuit against Seinfeld until AFTER he ran his fucking mouth all over TV. In fact, it was THE MEDIA who publicly compared the 2 books. Jerry made a fool of himself and showed his true asshole ways by bashing this woman every chance he got while promoting his fucking Bee Movie and his wife's shitty book. The only thing I will ever like about Jerry Douchebag was his TV show, Seinfeld, any time I have seen him on TV otherwise he was very unlikeable and a complete dickhead. And his wife has a look on her face that just makes me want to punch the shit out of her.
Jerry was in no way trying to be funny when bad mouthing Ms. Lepine, he was cruel, spiteful and NO ONE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.
HER AND VERGIE ARTHUR ARE MY TOP TWO PEOPLE I WANT TO SMACK THE SHIT OUT OF!
I hope Lepine gets a big ass chunk of Jerry's money and wipes that smirk of Mr and Mrs Assfeld's faces.
he was getting sued for making fun of someone???? hes a COMEDIAN! thats what comedians DO!!! plus what do u expect from a comedian when ur suing his wife for plagarism???? what a fuckin idiot that lady is >>__
I thought it was mean of Seinfeld to make those comments, but you can't sue someone for being mean. Otherwise, you would be in court everyday, perez.
I think she may have a case about the plagiarism, though. And Seinfeld's dumb ass wife would never have been able to publish a damn thing if she weren't married to him. Both books are stupid.
Come on…you KNOW this stinks to high heaven. I hope the plaintiff is successful in the lawsuit.
his useless wax figure wife, feels that she can get away with it becase of "who" her husband is, but c'mon. the idea is not original, but come up with your own recipes miss jerry. they are so stupid, their high priced lawyers should have advised them to work with the lady instead of being poisonous about her intentions.
Jerry Seinfeld is a total knob
I hope the Seinfelds get their asses handed to them by Ms. Lepine's lawyers. What scum. Does she think because she is married to a rich man that she can get away with plagiarism? Hell no, gold digger! I bet you she doesn't even cook!
Hope Lepin gets a lot of mulla, money, dinero out if this insect, and his parasite wife.
Did you ever notice….that Jerry Seinfeld is an unfunny kike asshole and his wife is a money hungry cunt who dropped her husband to go after Jerry. Jerry, take that unfunny, over-promoted Bee movie and stick it up you ass. FUCK YOU JERRY!!!
when you marry a whore, this is what happens. she just drags you thru her own shiz.
beeyotch picked up jerry at the gym the day she returned from honeymooning with the first hubby (who was rich, but not Seinfeld-rich!)
now that that's not enough, she has to f-up someone else's livelihood.
once a ho…always a ho….
Jessica is a JAP who nabbed herself a nice filthy rich jew boy from Long Island. She set her claws out on him at the gym in NYC where they met. Why did she go thru that first big marriage with a wedding and honeymoon if she was so miserable with Nederlander?
Seinfeld is a douchebag.
he's a fucking douchbag and she's a homewrecking whore. they shouldn't bully some poor writer– i mean the seinfelds have ENOUGH of everything- apologize, pay the chick & move on.
Oh, please. Did anyone really laugh when he compared a cook book author to some infamous murders? That's not the least bit funny and anyone who thinks so has serious issues.
and that wacky kopykat wife too
I bet Jessica has never even cooked or cleaned since she marry Jerry. I bet she lets a nanny raise her kids. Jerry was an ass for making fun of Lepine. He knows that Jessica is guilty of plagerism. Jessica is a nobody. She left her first husband and was pregnant with Jerry's baby by the time she married him. Sounds like she slept with Jerry because he was famous and Rich. Jerry is not actually a saint either, after all sleeping around with a 17 year old skank named Shoshanna( the 2nd and 3rd letters of her name spell HO).
Jerry was so great on Seinfeld, but he seems so angry lately… like he is bitter that he isn't famous anymore, which is weird because he is crazy rich. Maybe he is bitter that he is married and can't date anymore. Who knows… but when I saw him talk about the other author, it felt more mean-spirited than just being funny.
That why hitler killed all the jews….cos they fucked up…ass….
Jews have small peckers which is quite obvious in Seinfeld's case. That's why he has to act like a jerk to compensate for his lack of manliness.
dang - what happen'd to her boobies? Reverse gravity machine on a marshmallow?
I lost all respect for him over this. Sour grapes, Jerry
Obviously Seinfeld is the graduate of the Clintonian school of how to destroy your opponent. And he learned his lesson well–exaggerate their faults to the point of making your own self look ridiculous.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THIS — Lapine's manuscript was submitted to the publisher, HARPER COLLINS, and was REJECTED. That is when the crooked, jackal editors handed it over to Jessica Seinfeld!!!!!!!!!!! They rejected it because Lapine was not famous and repackaged it for semi-famous Jessica Seinfeld! But it was all fake and stolen! But they did not know that another publisher had already started to publish it! BUSTED! Jessica is caught RED HANDED! And the INTERNET and BLOGS went wild — as the books are identical!
The folks behind the NASONEX commercials feauturing the bees should sue Jerry! Jerry and his bad film copied that cartoon bee!
Oprah promoted Jessica Seinfeld's STOLEN BOOK! WHY SO SILENT OPRAH?! THIS IS A HUGE SCANDAL! AND OPRAH IS IN THE MIDDLE! plus she is in Jerry's Bee Movie and promoted the heck out of it! SCANDAL!
Typical Jews, always play the victim. Comparing the lawsuit to MLK and Lennon? What a joke, I mean who would even touch his wife? even a wacko won't shoot her, because she's too ugly too look at and a JEW.
Never 'suss out'? Perez, you are becoming veddy, VEDDY British!
its LAPINE. jessica seinfeld is such a bitch for ripping her off. lapine was doing so well with her book until that fake celebrity came up and is now taking away some of her revenue.
She totally riped off Lepines book. Then went on Oprah and made people think she was a genius for putting out this cookbook. I'm sorry, but Lepine should win this case hands down. As for Jerry, he should keep his mouth shut, any idiot knows that with an impending lawsuit the last thing you should do is slander the person suing your ass. It was slander. TEAM LEPINE
did you actually hear what he said, it was a joke, it was funny…that other author is looking for money since Jessica seinfeld's book blew her out of the water. What Jerry said was so obviously a joke…to those with a sense of humor at least…
So Seinfeld has like $100 million dollars and his stupid wife has to act like she's a breadwinner by writing a stupid cookbook. Bitch, please. Like she's had to cook a day in her life since she grabbed onto the gravy train.
We need to remember that Mrs. Jessica Seinfeld was actually newly married to someone else when she met Jerry. Dumped her husband in a New York minute, as they say, for another man. Now to me, that just smells of opportunism. So why not someone else's cookbook?
Something tells me that nice girls (especially married to nice Jewish men) don't do those kinds of things. So was marrying Jerry a trade-up in those ranks? And what about her book? Probably wouldn't have emerged from the slush piles if she had not been married to Jerry. Bravo, Jessica! Kudos to you.
Re: blazen – Dude you are so off base. You need to watch "One Night in Paris" and Pam Anderson never goes there with anything other than a large appendage.
that dumb bitch is sue happy- I hope she loses and has to pay all the lawyer fees….
Did anyone take a look at her boob? What is up with that?
the wife has a hard, bitchy look to her. does not look like she wants to make friends
Perez: You really need to use block quotes when you lift entire pieces of copy from other sources. Yes we recognize that it's not really your writing, what with the coherent sentences and all, but you need to format it as such.
Yeah! an overstatement. Nothing else needs to be said! The man's a comedian!
He was simply responding in a comedic way! This woman is looking for any way to drain them of money since her book bombed !
I used to love Jerry Seinfeld. But after seeing him on Letterman, I have a very different opinion of him. I think he is a fucking asshole and his wife is a stupid pig.
