| For those of you who thought romance author Nicholas Sparks was scandal-proof, the New York Post's Page Six section offers evidence to the contrary... - PageSix.com wrote:
- World-renowned romance novelist Nicholas Sparks is a bigot who allegedly tried to ambush a former CEO of his North Carolina private school — by holding him captive in a room while assaulting and threatening him, a new lawsuit claims.
In papers filed Thursday, Sparks summoned Saul Hillel Benjamin to the conference room at the Epiphany School of Global Studies in order to fire him from his $168,000-a-year gig.
But things quickly got out of hand during the November 2013 incident.
“Sparks and others physically intimidated, threatened and assaulted Mr. Benjamin while keeping him trapped in a room for hours without even access to a bathroom,” the suit says. Somehow I think a lot of people are going to be reading "The Notebook" in a new and less-than-flattering light after this. | |

| Sounds like it, if this is anything to go by: - PageSix.com wrote:
- According to the suit, Sparks — who penned “The Notebook” and “A Walk to Remember” — endorses “vulgar and discriminatory views about African-American, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.”
EDIT: Just re-read the above line...so he's not only a homophobe, he's a racist too. Lovely. | |
