LOFTY CLAIMS

Huffington Sued For Trashing Apartment

Media mogul calls complaint “false, ludicrous.”

Arianna Huffington is better known for working during office parties than she is for throwing raucous ones. But a new lawsuit says the media mogul trashed a luxury Manhattan apartment that she was using for “large parties and business functions,” the New York Post reports. Loft owner Eric Steel is seeking $275,000 in damages for “gouged, stained and otherwise damaged walls,” bloody mattresses and “scratched, punctured” wood floors in a suit against Huffington, claiming she left his designer pad looking like a frat house. Huffington has denied the damages and accused Steel of trying to extort money from her “by making ludicrous claims to the NY Post.”
