Universal Studios Torah'd a New Hole

Oy Gevalt! A girl was supposed to become a woman, but thanks to a Universal Studios fire, her daddy has become a plaintiff instead.



Vered Nisim claims he spent over $150,000 for his daughter's Bat Mitzvah party at the Universal Studios Hollywood Theme Park back on June 1, 2008 -- the same day the MTV Music Awards were also being filmed at the venue.

Nisim claims in his lawsuit Universal circumcised his shindig by cutting off two of the three party areas because of the blaze at the studio. But Nisim has powerful evidence the Jews were treated unfairly, because Universal let the MTV Music Awards show go on without interruption.

Here's the saddest thing ... the suit claims, "The fairy tale fantasyland for Danielle which Plaintiffs had been planning for over eight months and had spent well over $150,000 was brutally truncated..."

The family is suing for unspecified damages. One thing is clear -- it's not a small claims court world after all.

1. Oh, boo hoo. That poor girl's $150,000 party was completely ruined. I am crying my mascara off for that poor little rich girl right now. I guess maybe Daddy should buy her a Porsche to make it up to her. When will the injustices of the world end?????

2. Really. We're in the middle of a recession and this guy is suing because she couldn't go on the ET ride?

4. I feel so sorry for this girl! What a terrible, terrible way to spend a day. Being stuck at one of the three areas her rich-y poo daddy reserved. I guess this just proves that you can be rich and snubbed!! I smell a reality show!!!

5. Anyone stupid enough to pay $150,000 for a party for a 13 year old should have all their money taken away and given to charity then get taken out back and get shot.

8. What a comment MOI. Shoot a person for going all out for their child's bat mitzvah. That is ridiculous.

While I would not have $150k for any kind of party, if this person's father wants to spend that kind of scratch, more power to him. His daughter's bat mitzvah is a once in a lifetime event...which is much more unique than the numerous weddings this girl might have. Just a thought.

10. The dad owns the company that makes the jackets for MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, UFC, and apparently every rapper who's ever lived. His company makes about $100 mil a year. No idea how much profit.

11. Why did you even report this story - to incite the anti-semites to come out of the wood work. I'm not even Jewish and know the kind of comments that you'll get. Is Harvey one of those people that have to put down his people to feel cool?

15. You are all a bunch of antisemites! I don't care about the merits of spending too much on a Bat-Mitzvah. I don't care that it's ridiculous that the point of this very important educational fete in a Jewish child's life is being overshadowed by a wealth extravaganza. What I do care about is that if someone paid for something and they didn't get what was promised to them, then they simply need to be reimbursed or compensated accordingly. If this plaintiff or accuser was additionally cheated because of a religious agenda, then the Bat Mitvah family has just cause to seek additional damages. I would be angry if this happened to anyone of any religion or ethnicity. Shame on all of you who are saying anti-Jewish rhetoric. Grow up and stop being so hateful. You are obviously uneducated haters.

As for you TMZ...I am done with your website. It's obvious to me that you enjoy enciting this type of hatred and anti-semitic rants from your readers. GOOD BYE!!!
