'Runaway Bride' Takes Ex-Fiancee To Court (She's BAAAACKK)
<snip>

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- The Georgia woman who became known as the runaway bride and touched off a massive search when she disappeared is now suing her ex fiancee for $500,000.

Jennifer Wilbanks took off just days before her lavish wedding in 2005, ending up in Las Vegas and New Mexico and making international headlines while hundreds searched for her back home in suburban Atlanta.

Wilbanks and John Mason broke up for good in May, and now she's asking for $250,000 as her share of a home Mason purchased with money they got for selling their story to an agent. Atlanta television station WAGA reported that the lawsuit also seeks $250,000 in punitive damages for allegedly abusing the power of attorney she granted for him to handle their financial affairs.

Wilbanks also seeks the return of personal property she claims he has kept.

Wilbanks initially claimed to have been abducted and sexually assaulted but later recanted, saying she ran due to personal issues.

2. She needs a kick in the ass...
And someone telling her to "get over yourself!"

She's not even mentally ill.
She's just an attention whore out for money.

4. Oh HELL yes
Loves me some Runaway Bride!!!

The cult is not going to want to pay this money out so I'll bet there will be a LONG court fight which all means it is all the more likely that she will end up in Playboy.

5. Ah, who cares. They're both Freepers.
After she turned up in New Mexico, he was all a-twitter when FauxNews showed up at his house. "Do I get to talk to Sean Hannity? That would be cool."

Too bad he profited though. Maybe he'll have less tainted money to play with when this is all done.

And at least we have this photo of her:



Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks mows the lawn of a government building in Lawrenceville. Wilbanks also had to pick up litter, wash public vehicles and clean government offices as part of her sentence.

7. On the bright side, at least they won't breed with each other.
And if we're all lucky, this headcase will never bear freeper crotchfruit with any other guy.
