Marla Maples and Donald Trump are way beyond well-heeled, but this week they filed a $35 million lawsuit against her former publicist, Chuck Jones, the man accused of stealing Maples' shoes from her apartment. The couple now accuse Jones of stalking Maples and "watching her every move for hours at a time." The lawsuit claims Jones "engaged in a premeditated campaign of harassment and intimidation so frightening to Ms. Maples that she was forced to relocate out of state out of fear for her safety and for the safety of her newborn child."
Jones denied the new allegations. "How trendy," he said. "Everyone is being stalked. That is absolute nonsense. . . . The only stalking that I'm aware of was when Marla Maples was stalking somebody else's husband."
