High profile Houston Lawyer Tony Buzbee not having very happy holiday...

He was a Trump supporter (had a fundraiser for him) then supposedly disavowed him for the pussy-grabbing tape (though I never heard that part on the news, so he must have done so vewy qwietly), then he donated half a mil to his inauguration, so I guess all was forgiven (or more likely just for show).

Anyway, he had a very bad date on the night before Christmas Eve...

Buzbee believed she was too intoxicated and called an Uber driver to pick her up. She allegedly refused to leave and hid in his home. That's when Buzbee called a second Uber driver.

Per the information read in court, Layman was aggressive toward the second Uber driver, walked back into Buzbee's home and shouted, "I'm not leaving." That's when she allegedly poured red wine on his paintings and ripped them off the wall, then threw his sculptures on the ground.

A 2014 profile on Buzbee described him as married to wife, Zoe, with four children. The article, originally published in Texas Super Lawyers Magazine, says, “Competitive? Michael Jordan is competitive. Tony Buzbee is a psycho. He’s obsessed with winning. And with his landmark victories including the $75 million he earned for offshore drilling workers in a wage fixing suit, Buzbee’s not only earned respect, but in his 14-year career, he’s pocketed as much money in the courtroom via jury awards as Jordan made on the court.”

According to the Dallas Morning News, Buzbee was a supporter of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign but changed his mind on Trump when the Access Hollywood controversy erupted over the president’s lewd comments. “In the run-up to last year’s election, he hosted Donald Trump at the River Oaks mansion and donated $250,000 to his presidential campaign. Buzbee later disavowed Trump after the release of the Access Hollywood tape in which the eventual president bragged about groping and forcefully kissing women,” the newspaper reported.

However, Buzbee later gave $500,000 to the president’s inauguration committee, Texas Lawyer reported. That donation came even though Buzbee wrote on social media, “Sorry Donald. I’m done with you. Completely.”

And he doesn't care who he's fighting for as long as it gets him money and admiration.
