Celebrity Justice
'Dallas' Star Sued Over Dog, Poop, Gun

VIctoria PrincipalVictoria Principal apparently has taken her role on "Dallas" a little too seriously -- she's been sued for allegedly pulling a gun on a maid.

The woman who played Pamela Ewing is being sued by Maribel Banegas, the former maid at Victoria's Malibu home. Banegas claims she had taken the dog for a walk -- when she returned home to an enraged Victoria who couldn't understand why it took so long.

Banegas explained the dog wouldn't poop, but Victoria wasn't pickin' up what the maid was puttin' down. According to the suit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Victoria fired Maribel on the spot. Maribel asked for her final check and Victoria went upstairs, allegedly only to come down with a gun, "which she then pointed and aimed" at the maid.

The suit claims Victoria "verbally threatened to kill plaintiff"... and asked another housekeeper who was present "to stand aside in order that she could kill the plaintiff."

The maid claims assault, false imprisonment and emotional distress. She wants unspecified damages.

Oh, by the way, the dog's name is Mei-Ling, and we're told it looks like a Shih Tzu ... seriously.

32. come on, do you people really believe this ridiculous story? If there was a gun involved, I am willing to bet it is because the maid would not leave the premises and was starting trouble.
What gives it away is "she told the other maid to stand aside so she could kill me"
Just another sleaze looking for easy money because she was fired.

34. Lola, I am sure you wouldn't hire a white because your welfare check isn't enough to do so, now shut up and put your lips back on the fried chicken

35. Are all celebrities total raving egomaniacs & nutcases? I used to think no, but I'm starting to wonder. It seems that, every time I turn around, another celebrity is pulling a gun, getting sued for sexual harrassment or acting in a way that's totally without thought. We should take all these celebrity loonies & drop them in the amazon without supplies...

36. #15 - Chicky...........It's time for your meds, pean brain. And don't assume that Maribel Banegas is Hispannic. She maybe not. Funny you mentioned Germany or Ukraine and said that you don't want to deal with arguments. These Germans and Ukrainians you're talking about prodbably do not speak English very well. Educated Germans or Ukrainians will not clean houses for a living. You ask about racisim, retard --- you're the one who's a racist. Maybe you don't even have someone to clean your house. Retard, you have a mobile home, so you can clean it up yourself.

37. Victoria is a Mexican, so I don't think the comment about the "white person" treating another race rings true. The maid's name certainly sounds hispanic, but, then, so is Victoria hispanic. I always thought she was somewhat of a diva - and it appears she is - and a crazy one at that! Nut job, and spoiled witch! I believe the maid and hope she gets a lot of money! Victoria thougtht because she is rich and famous (well, she used to be famour) she could get away with this barbaric behavior!

38. Ok here is the real story:
The maid took the dog out for a walk.
The maid met her boyfriend on the corner and they took off for quite a bit. When the maid returned, Victoria was waiting.
This is not the first time the maid has done this. Victoria told her to leave the premises. The maid would not leave without money and became combative.
Victoria went and got a gun because the maid was threatening her and would not leave the house. She came back with the gun and told the maid to get out of the house NOW.
She had every right to defend herself in her own home,
the maid is simply trying to get revenge for getting fired,

39. Poor Victoria. It is very difficult to have live-in help and have them constantly meet up with your expectations. Complacency is a poison. I am sure Victoria had been kept waiting one time too many while this "maid" was napping on the job. I'm sure that with expectations more clear now this will not happen again.

40. Remember in grade school how the teacher would give
you three unrelated words and you would have to make
up a sentence using them. Parents, remember, dog, poop,
gun just in case your kid has to make up a sentence with
these words. Bookmark this story!!!

41. If the maid did not leave herhouse, she should have called the police. The only way you can pull a gun out on another person, is if you feel your life is threatened. This maid worked there for some time, so I wouldnt call that a threat. Victoria should have calle dthe police, and had her removed, if this was the case.

By the way... her skin care stuff is crap, it will break you our. Use Cindy Crawfords line, that stuff really works.
