Strange Buyer Problems - At Least You Are Not Martha Stewart

September 21st, 2007 — Celebrity Real Estate

Every real estate agent has the clients that just blow them away, and not for the right reasons. Wierd eccentric behavior that confounds all expectations and the willingness at the drop of a hat to sue are the bane of most agents existance.

Well, there is an inmate in the South Carolina penal system who takes this all to the next level. He is more than willing to sue celebrities over the most amazing things even when he was in jail when the supposed incident occurred. Today his target is Martha Stewart who was trying to sell her Westport home.

In a two-page, handwritten lawsuit Riches seeks more than 3 million dollars in damages from Stewart. Riches says he will donate any damages he collects to television cook Rachael Ray.
Riches claims he tried to buy Stewart’s estate in Westport earlier this year for the three-point five million dollars in pennies.
He claims the real estate listing for the property falsely claimed it was painted with Dutch Boy paint. The suit also states that while touring the property (although records indicate he would have been in prison at the time) Riches contracted poison ivy, was scratched by pricker bushes and fell in a groundhog hole.
Riches also claims he saw Stewart’s turkeys playing football with Michael Vick’s jerseys and that the birds attacked him. WTNH.com
