She is launching a $114m (£60m) lawsuit against the coffee colossus. I hope she is told to clear off by the judge in question, if it ever gets to court.
All this greed in lawsuits is totally undignified. And don't you know, if she did win, it would be all of us poor sods picking up the tab in our insurance premiums!
