Liliane Bettencourt Ends Feud with Daughter, Cuts Ties with Banier

I previously blogged about the scandals surrounding Liliane Bettencourt and her feuds with her daughter, Francoise Meyers-Bettencourt. Francoise tried to have Liliane declared incompetent, and Liliane accused Francoise of abuse.

The two have now reconciled, ending a series of lawsuits. They are excited to be together again, even if it took three years of arguing in court to get here. Liliane has also ended relations with celebrity photographer Francois-Marie Banier earlier this year, writing him out of her will.

Special thanks to Joel Dobris (Professor of Law, UC Davis School of Law) for bringing this to my attention.
