Bankrupt Lenny Dykstra Owes TMZ an Apology

Posted Jul 8th 2009 9:00AM by TMZ Staff

Lenny DykstraFormer New York Met Lenny Dykstra is officially broke -- he just filed for bankruptcy -- so he owes the TMZ staffer he called a "f***ing drama queen" last month an apology.

Dykstra, who just filed for Chapter 11 in California, went ballistic when we called to ask if his $400,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom had been repossessed. We had a photo of the car being towed -- so it's not like the question came out of left field.

Since Lenny is currently facing multiple lawsuits, home foreclosure and divorce -- his lawyer explained the filing to the New York Daily News by saying it was a move to "shield his property from a host of meritless claims."

Either way, the papers show he's over $30 million in the hole.

61. Man, I don't know about anyone else but I can't get enough of Lenny. I have never read about someone who made such a complete disaster out of his life as he has. It's like the dude can only think in the present and therefore is completely unable to see the consequences of his actions.

The other question I have is who are the fools who lent him all this money? Were they all just sucked in by Lenny's quasi-celebrity status?

I just hope that Lenny is punished severely for his behavior which involved defrauding lots of people, including his own family members. I hope they are able to get at least a little of the money they are owed, but given the assets he declared on his bankrupcy filing it looks pretty bleak.
