Rescinded Invitation
Due to the lawsuit, Liza took back Lee’s invitation to her wedding. However, it was the extravagance of the event that supposedly filled Lee with indignation. The lawsuit referenced to the wedding and stated, “While the defendant is honeymooning all over the world, having fed 850 of her closest friends a 12-foot cake, [the] plaintiff is alone in a cold, dark house at age 94.”

The Response
In April 2002, one month after her wedding, Liza responded to the lawsuit. She spoke with Army Archerd for Daily Variety and clarified, “My father left me the house, saying, ‘It is my wish if you sell the house that you move [Lee] to a residence.’ I finally got a nice offer to sell it and offered her a $450,000 condo tax-free. She won’t move. I’ve been supporting her forever. I did exactly what my father asked me to do. And now we can’t go into escrow because she won’t move. I am willing to give her a happy life.”
