My guess is, that after all these years, life is not going well lately for the “Queen Mother”, and her previous “work” and her prior handling of her funds will not provide her with her acustomed standard of living for the rest of her life, so she’ll now see how much of a “settlement” Disney will offer to just make her go away.

One would hope Disney will not make any offer unless there is a strain of truth in the “Queen Mother’s” story.

Whoopie’s character was not a nun, she was a nightclub singer, who was in witness protection, hiding as a nun.

A bit late to the picnic, no doubt.

The Kenyan must go.

I was obviously making a joke.

As was I.

Really? So why did she wait so long to sue? That movie was made in the 90s, I believe.

Besides, suing for $1B is not exactly nun-like behavior.

Perhaps this nun has simply lost her marbles.

She is a former Catholic nun according to a 2003 NYT article.

Here is a link to the NYT article

From that article,

“Her deep-seated spiritual life was, in fact, first developed at the Convent of the Franciscan Handmaids of Mary on West 124th Street, where she arrived at age 16 from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and where she spent 10 years as a nun before leaving to pursue a worldlier vision of things. She moved into a friend’s apartment, found work in a watch factory and then at J. C. Penney’s, experimented with nail polish and permanents, and eventually discovered what it was like to have strange men whistle at the sight of her legs. She said she went on to get a master’s degree from Harvard and a doctorate in education from Columbia.”

So why she is referred to as a nun in the original posted article is beyond me.

$1 Billion? That’s a lot of pocket change, mates!
