Ed McMahon and his wife Pamela have been slapped with a lawsuit claiming they were delinquent in paying for multiple prescriptions at a Beverly Hills pharmacy over the past two years. See the legal papers HERE.
In papers filed June 27 in L.A. Superior Court, Mickey Fine Pharmacy claims that the former "Tonight Show" sidekick and his spouse orally agreed to pay the purchase price on the prescriptions, but have only paid $500 on a tab they allege to be in the amount of $8, 231.76.
The pharmacy operator alleges that the McMahons refused to pay off monthly bills sent to them, and is seeking compensation for the medication costs and coverage of legal fees and "such other and further relief as this Court may deem just and proper."
The lawsuit is the latest in McMahon's legal woes: The TV icon is being sued by Citibank for nearly $200,000 in debt built up over the last four years. That lawsuit comes in the wake of news that McMahon was $644,000 behind on mortgage payments to Countrywide Financial Corp. on his Los Angeles home.
