    What’s it called when you have people work for you, but never pay them their promised wage? I call it “fuck you, have fun in prison.”

      I believe that's called indentured servitude.

      At least most indentured servants got passage to the New World and their freedom after a number of years.

      Today? Gawker has been that for a while. It’s just a comment section for other site’s articles.

    “‘I cry every day,’ she says, though she admits the conditions at Rikers are better than Tennessee. There, she was held in a cell with no windows and was forced to sleep on the floor. She educated the other inmates about veganism and healthy eating.”

    Because being in jail isn’t bad enough, now you’ve gotta listen to the vegan lady prattle on about the virtues of raw heirloom tomato lasagna. Sure, lady, pumpkin seed macadamia crackers are *exactly* the same as Parmesan cheese.

      I hope the other inmates said, “Bitch, you eat Domino’s,” and bounced.

    I’ve said it for years. No good has ever come from ordering Domino’s pizza.

    You know when a story has a line like, “Sarma Melngailis had it all: an Ivy League degree . . .” it’s never, like, HYP or Columbia.

    I mean, U. Penn? Aren’t all their grads grifters?

      ......I’ve never understood how UPenn came to be regarded as Ivy League. graduated from Chapel Hill and Middlebury, neither of which is Ivy League, but I’d take both over UPenn......

      Also, she threw it all away for THAT?!!!! I will NEVER understand what people see in each other.....

    Vegans familiar with the case have viciously condemned her for eating the pizza.

      Pizza eaters have condemned her for calling Dominos pizza.

      Hell humanity has condemned her for calling Dominos food.

      That’s what I thought the first time I read the headline! But seriously, how awful do she and her husband have to be to pay/turn over $140,000 in cash to a casino while at the exact same time avoiding paying their workers’ back wages of $40,000? I mean, they could have paid off his debts to the casino, paid the workers, and still had $60,000 left to ... lose at the casino. Damn. I hope they spend a lot of time at Rikers!

      This is one of the many reasons, BTW, I find The Donald so odious. All of those times he declared bankruptcy, you know he could have scrounged up the money to pay his workers’ back wages, even if there might have been legal impediments to paying off his suppliers. Impoverishing and screwing over your own employees in order to gain some modest business advantage is such unbelievably low behavior! Just as low as this lady’s, though not as illegal.

    LOL this is wild! I interviewed to be this girl’s personal assistant like 3 years ago. I was the first person they interviewed (she had another female assistant with her) and let me just say it was so awkward lol worst interview of my life no lie. Just seemed like they didn’t know what they were doing or what they were looking for.

    More negative vegan press on Jezebel. . .why am I not surprised. If this were any other restaurant, would it be at all “news” worthy?
