What a dope.

Uptown utility fixer Mac Everett has gone and gotten himself sued by Bill Diehl and Gloria Pace King. Couldn’t happen to a guy more deserving of having his out-sized rep taken down a notch.

Remember that loopy and contentious interview Everett gave the Uptown paper back in October? Diehl has popped Mac for his over-the-top of the use the word “sin.” How wonderfully Charlotte. Passive aggressive with some damnation and money damages thrown in.

But Diehl has his shrewd operator license in full display. Everett can only defend himself by documenting King’s supposed “sins” — ie supposed transgressions which the United Way board had to have been aware of, yet did nothing to stop. In sum, Everett either supplies the factual basis for his sin talk — which would sink the charity’s case against King — or he does not, in which case he risks paying a hefty sum to King for defamation.
