Anybody else seen this one?

Nick Saban's daughter is being sued by a sorority sister who claims the two got into a fight over a facebook post after a night of drinking.

Way to go girls.

Maybe it's being missed because people keep giving the thread non-descript titles lol

and I believe someone posted about it in the "What do you feel like saying?" thread.

ETA: Dr.Phil did:

Not sure how this is pertinent to RM except that I can see several liability issues. Members playing drinking games, getting into physical altercations, etc. The injuries allegedly sustained by Grimes are pretty extreme, but university judicial boards routinely sweep pretty serious things under the rug, so again, nothing surprising there.

My question: Why wait 2 years for retribution?

33girl 07-13-2012 01:41 PM

I got really confused by the picture embedded in the article and was like "Kristen Saban beat Serena Williams up?" LOL

Serena could have taken her in one round!

This really sounds so fake. I cannot believe it.

That Formal Complaint is just so script worthy of an episode of Law and Order or something. The opening scene would be kinda cool.

Kristen Saban... she can apparently kick your ass.

BadCat25 07-15-2012 09:22 AM

I understand Kristen is no longer a Phi Mu. Did they kick her out? How about the sister she sent to the hospital? Somebody on GC must know the real dirt. I would love to hear it.

Sciencewoman 07-15-2012 05:56 PM

Is that really her? Because none of the other pictures I've seen of Kristen Saban look like this picture.

Kristen is no longer a member. Sarah Grimes is.

I agree, maybe with photo touchup and maybe some of daddy's money and a little silicone?

AOII Angel 07-15-2012 06:56 PM

I'm just wondering who wears a sweater like that without a cami?

And a nose job, and a complete body frame change, and hair extensions...I just don't think this is her.

There are pictures of her at these two links and I agree. That first picture does not look like her.

And her LinkedIn site:

Neither was the young lady...at least as God made her.

Her surgeon, on the other hand.....

(And out here the neckline isn't off putting at all..with or without)

Old_Row 07-16-2012 12:02 AM

She doesn't look like that.

WCsweet<3 07-16-2012 12:13 AM

Also apparently she is trying to get the case dismissed.

Interesting comment on Saban's Linked In page about her Phi Mu membership. Since her membership has been terminated, you would think she wouldn't even list it.

I wondered the same thing, how can you be alum when you are still at your University where you pledged?

DeltaBetaBaby 07-17-2012 07:59 PM

As I said in the other thread, Saban is no longer a member.

Or maybe it's because your dad is the football coach and your mom is a Phi Mu alumna?

We had a couple (read maybe 2) that went early alum status due to the fact that they were pre-med with internships. One was actually a triple major with a minor.

Phi Mu allows no such thing. There is an "interim" status which you may be able to take for one semester if you are not local or have a personal emergency, but nobody who is enrolled in the university at which she pledged is an alumna.

In which case it sounds like she made up the status. Alumna sounds much better than membership terminated. Why she would even have it on her profile even if she was somehow an alumna is beyond me. Why show you were only a member for a year?

Kind of hard to remain a member in good standing if attendance counts at events or meetings when there is a no contact order involved. That's second to the other issues such as University mandated anger management classes, binge drinking (potential substance abuse), alleged drinking and driving, possible domestic violence against the former boyfriend Daniel, and I think minors consuming as I don't think they were 21. That is a veritable color guard of red flags even without a physical altercation that required a sister to seek emergency medical treatment.

Because people who aren't involved in Greek life might not think that's weird. They might think it's the equivalent of just being on the newspaper staff your sophomore year and not being on it the rest of the time you were in school.

Zillini 07-18-2012 09:18 AM

First off, I have no info on this situation aside from what I've heard in the news. However, I wanted to comment on this post.

When I dealt with an injury lawsuit, my attorney's advice was to wait to file until near the end of the statute of limitations in order to better determine the long term/ongoing medical issues, necessary treatments, & the financial costs.

Rightfully so, methinks. Bitching that "she was snotty at one of our pref parties" and "one time she didn't smile at me in a store" while trying to say that sorority women at your school aren't like her is embarrassing.

ROTFLMAO!!!

33girl 07-19-2012 11:42 AM

that blogger might want to get a picture that doesn't make her look 40.

just sayin is all.

She is no longer a member from what I understand, but her LinkedIn profile says she's an "Alumna." That girl inherited some brass from her Pappy.
