Geraldo sues his housing development -- Concord Monitor Online

HACKENSACK, N.J. -Geraldo Rivera is suing the co-op board of the housing development he lives in, alleging members wrongly kept a $10,000 deposit on one of his properties and prevented him from buying another.

The Fox News senior correspondent owns two homes in the 26-acre Edgewater Colony, where residents own their homes but share ownership of the land.

Rivera said the board refuses to return the security deposit for construction of the first home he bought about five years ago, among other allegations.

"They are arbitrarily and capriciously interfering with my house, down to minimalist details like whether or not I should have a fish tank, or whether I should plant a certain kind of flower or tree," he told The Record of Bergen County for Saturday's editions.

Karen Painter Randall, a lawyer for Edgewater Colony, said the lawsuit is "entirely without merit."

If Lesson Number One for the industry was "Don't throw elderly widows out of their homes," you'd think they'd know by now that Lesson Number Two is, "Don't P.O. internationally reknowned journalists."

But I guess that would be asking too much. I can't wait to see the Fox News documentary.
