I have cleared my house of all and anything Jeff Smith/The Frugal Gourmet. I used to be an avid viewer of his TV shows, not anymore, sure most know of his story......... |
Too bad, lots of good content regardless.
Nothing proved only alleged. No criminal charges, it was a civil action only. The settlment was tiny, reported at 2.1 million divided among 7 people. 300,000 per BEFORE attorney's fees. They probably got less than 150,000. That's not much to settle for on claims of rape and molestation.
To me that looks like a shake down, and probably less than he'd have paid in costs to defend himself.
