Barbara Streisand Wouldn’t Hurt A Soul!

Well that’s in my opinion, but it seems that her carpenter thinks otherwise. Her handyman, Daniel Ortiz is suing the funny lady for a personal injury incurred while working on her Malibu home. He is claiming that he took a tumble into a ditch in 2007 due to negligence on the behalf of Ms. Streisand.

Quick interjection – 2007, that seems like it was a quite a while ago buddy! Back to the lawsuit that was filed at the beginning of December of 2009. Ortiz shared with the L.A. Superior court that the fall into the ditch has caused him “humiliation, fear, discomfort, anxiety, loss of enjoyment of life, mental anguish, and emotional and physical distress.”

I can’t say that I’ve ever fallen into a ditch, but I’ve had a few injuries myself, and well that seems like a lot of backlash from falling into a hole. The negligence is being found on the grounds that Barb failed to “take steps to either make the dangerous condition safe or warn [Ortiz] of the ditch — which he fell into while exiting an on-site trailer.”  All I can say is For Petes Sake, good luck Bard.
