You gotta love this one.
According to TMZ, Bill Nye–the “Science Guy”–is dragging his ex-squeeze, Blair Tindall, into court for supposedly acting as a crazy stalker and then causing him to incur $57,000 in attorney’s fees for enforcing a prior harassment protective order.
The purported facts are this: Mr. Nye claimed that Ms. Tindall took expensive items from his house (including a laptop), sent defamatory emails impersonating him from the laptop, and poured herbicide on his rose bushes. Mr. Nye did obtain a 6-year injunction against her, requiring Ms. Tindall to stay 100 yards away from him.
Well, where is the beef? TMZ reports that, in 2009, she is alleged to have violated the injunction so that Mr. Nye has spent another $57,000 in fees trying to force compliance through the court process. Mr. Nye is now attempting to get her to pay the fees in further court proceedings, apparently.
