Judge Moved By Sumner Redstone Testimony In Competency Lawsuit

Redstone Calls Former Companion A 'F---ing B---h' In Video Deposition

THE MOUTH, MAY 9TH, 2016 –– A Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge is expected to decide today (5/9) whether to dismiss a lawsuit brought on by a former companion of Sumner Redstone, or proceed with a trial to decide whether he is mentally competent reports The LA Times. Last Friday the trial started out with an fiery 18-minute videotaped deposition of Redstone, who described his ex-girlfriend, Manuela Herzer as a 'F--king B---h' and he wanted her "out of his life." Judge David J. Cowan, apparently moved by Redstone's 7testimony, said, "How can I sit here and say after listening to that video, 'No, you can't have what you want.' ... That's a tough call."

Herzer was Redstone's primary caregiver and the agent in charge of his healthcare before Redstone had her removed from his Beverly Park home, and he cut her out of his will four days later. Herzer brought on a lawsuit in late November, saying Redstone was not in his right mind. Redstone now says he would like his daughter, Shari Redstone (shown), to oversee his healthcare decisions. Herzer's expert witness, Dr. Stephen Read, testified Friday that he believes that Redstone suffers from dementia, and that the mogul's angry outbursts were evidence of such a disease. Read examined Redstone, who has a severe speech impediment, in late January.

The Redstone family controls nearly 80% of the voting shares of CBS and Viacom. The $42-billion media empire includes such prominent assets as MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, BET, Showtime, CBS and Paramount Pictures.
