'Dallas' Star Sued Over Dog, Poop, Gun

Posted May 5th 2009 10:01AM by TMZ Staff

Victoria 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.

UPDATE -- Victoria filed her own lawsuit against the maid. Click here to read it.

Teenage Megan Fox -- What Awkward Stage?!

Before you click through the following pictures of a young Megan Fox in her various high school uniforms, remember -- the person you're looking at is under 18.

We just got our hands on Megan's yearbook pics from her freshman and sophomore years at Morningside Academy Upper School in Florida -- which pretty much shows the girl never suffered through any of those awkward teenage years.

1. Re:Principal item and picture To think she was married to one of the top cosmetic surgeons in LA. Pity she can't age graciously. Her altered looks are so artificial. Can't help but think if she aged naturally she might look more attractive.Vanity, thy name is aging Hollywood actresses!

3. Excuse me, I am a white person. I was a maid & I have picked up crap for years. You sound extremely racist. Not all white people have maids, housekeepers or landscapers-me being one of them. And job selection is just that. A choice. Color/origin/nationality-not a choice. Education, by choice. Mixe that up. Now we all know why her maid was a maid/dog walker from the beginning.
And if its sooo bad here, maybe her maid should have went home a long time ago.

7. White people, as well as black people and purple people do not like picking up dog poop! This message is for Oprag, figure it out! It's only black and white to racists, there's plenty on both sides unfortunately!

11. I have never cared for Victoria Principal. Even back in the 80's, it was very evident that she is extremely self absorbed. It's her way or the highway. No matter how you get there.

12. Victoria knows she will be cleared of all charges. Movie stars, sports stars and democrat party politicians are exempt from the laws of the land. Laws are meant for "other" people. Just ask OJ, or Ted Kennedy when it comes to murder, the top crime against humanity.

13. Since I don't know the gal personally, can't say what she is like. I will say that shei s not aging with grace. Too many facae lifts I would guess??

14. Remember that young Gibbs brother? The one, who was in love with Victoria? He killed himself. I agree with those who say: Both of them, need to grow up. Their versions, make both of them sound like nuts. The other maid, should look for employment elsewhere... Victoria, might pull a gun on her, one day...
