Lawsuit Alleges Sean Connery Is a Bully

By SAMUEL MAULL, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK - A downstairs neighbor of debonaire James Bond actor Sean Connery has filed a $30 million lawsuit alleging he's a bully who's trying to force the family out of the townhouse they share.

"Notwithstanding the cinematic James Bond image of consummate finesse, the defendant Connery, in true Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde fashion, acts the part in real life of a bully who ignores norms of neighborliness and decency," the court papers say.

Dr. Burton Sultan, an ophthalmologist, lives with his wife and daughters on the lower four floors of a six-story Tudor townhouse, built in 1869, on Manhattan's East Side. Connery and his wife live on the top two floors.

Court papers claims the Connerys' renovations, which began in September 2001, are a source of constant noise, foul fumes, water leaks and a rat infestation. The lawsuit claims damage to the Sultans' home extended to their collection of Victorian and early 20th century wicker furniture.

The lawsuit also claims the famous upstairs neighbor is harassing the Sultans "by playing loud music at all hours and stomping about." On April 7, 2002, one of the Sultans' daughters knocked on Connery's door and requested quiet.

"Connery's appearance and behavior was that of a rude, foul-mouthed, fat old man," court papers say. "Cursing and otherwise using indecent language Connery demeaned Marla's father, refused to lower the noise and slammed the door in her face."

The court papers say the Connerys also owe $15,747 in maintenance and utility payments — another ploy "to harass the Sultans into leaving their home."

The lawsuit includes a letter, purportedly from the Connerys' lawyer, Robert P. Lynn Jr., stating: "I think if we tie him up in several lawsuits, hopefully this will either permanently subdue him or drive him out of the building."

Lynn did not return telephone calls seeking comment.

Late last year Connery, who gained fame as Agent 007 in the Bond films, placed 13th on a British magazine's poll of the greatest living movie stars over age 50.

Too much Guinness, perhaps?

Actually he's into Big Country

The Stones wrote a dong about Keef having this same problem in the 70s.
"Neighbors":

Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors
Have I got neighbors?
Have I got neighbors?
All day and all night


Neighbors
Have I got neighbors?
Ringing my doorbells
All day and all night


Ladies, have I got crazies?
Screaming young babies
No piece and no quiet
I got T.V.'s, saxophone playing
Groaning and straining
With the trouble and strife


Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
That we fuss and fight


Neighbors, do unto strangers
Do unto neighbors
What you do to yourself, yourself, yourself


Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
That we fuss and fight


Neighbors do unto strangers
Do onto neighbors what you do to yourself
Yourself, yourself, yourself
Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors


Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors
Do yourself a favour
Don't you mess with my baby
When I'm working all night
You know that neighbors
Steal off my table
Steal off my table
And doing alright, alright, alright


Neighbors do unto strangers
Do unto strangers
What you do to yourself  

Speaking of Connery and Trebek, here is a site where you can d/l all of the SNL Jeopardy skits..

This is probably one of my favorite skits in SNL's history.

http://www.sennicam.com/snlcelebjeop.htm

aaron's song "neighbor, i hope your sick wife dies" would be appropriate. these folks sound like a pain in the ass. calling him fat and insisting he's inviting rats over to infest sounds a bit low.

Considering that he IS old and has ALWAYS been belligerent, the language used is meant to paint a contrast to Bond but it also implies that old, fat s.o.b.'s are always wrong.

I fully intend to be a royal pain in the ass when I'm in my mid 70's.
It's called delayed vengeance on the world.

Why delay?

Because I've got a more than a quarter century left to pretend I can make a difference and that it's not all shit. By the time I'm 75 I'll be ready to give in to resentment and disillusionment.

I'm changing my name to this

Connery gonna get the smackdown from an ophthamologist.

The Sultan of Blur-eye

Must be shooting that show where monkeys throw poop at celebrities.

SNL's not exactly down w/the funny anymore...

Connery's appearance and behavior was that of a rude, foul-mouthed, fat old man

Um, you bang on my door in the middle of the night and I might be rude. And since when is fat, old, and using naughty words something to sue over? Are they his fucking parents? Allright then. Next he'll be in trouble for chewing with his mouth open.

For some reason I found it surprising that Connery even had a place in New York.

This would be fun, wouldn't it? Reminds me of that scene in the Commitments with the old guy passed out at the table during the wedding, and the rascally kids are playing and run into him and wake him up. His response? "Fuck off!" Priceless.

"I'll take The Rapists for $500."

"That's Therapists"

"I'll play your game YOU ROGUE!"

He doesn't it's his sons place
