Joseph Buttafuoco–the Long Island man whose ill-fated affair with Amy Fisher ended when the teenager shot, but did not kill, his ex-wife–will hold a press conference today, explaining his new lawsuit against his ex-wife.
According to the press release, Buttafuoco is suing Mary Jo Buttafuoco defamation in her recent book, “Getting It Through My Thick Skull–Why I Stayed, What I Learned, and What Millions of People Involved with Sociopaths Need to Know.” The suit seeks damages and calls for HCI to recall of the book.
“The injury to Mr. Buttafuoco has been compounded by the publicity tour Ms. Buttafuoco has made to promote her book. She has appeared on numerous television programs where she repeats her outrageous statements concerning my client’s character. These defamatory statements are beyond the pale and have made Mr. Buttafuoco a pariah in the community, causing him not just public embarrassment but the loss of business.”
