Scandal at the National Enquirer Continues…

National EnquirerAs I have previously discussed, the widow of the founder of the National Enquirer Generoso Pope, filed a protection order against her son Paul Pope. In the document, she claimed that her son “‘maliciously and repeatedly harassed (her) with cruel behavior (that) is causing (her) to suffer substantial emotional distress and to genuinely fear for her safety.”” The complaint alleged that Paul lived an extravagant lifestyle that was outside his means. While he received $20 Million from the sale of his father’s tabloid, he has already spent that money. He has repeatedly asked his mother, Lois, for more of her $200 Million share from the sale. Well, on Mother’s Day of all days, Paul Pope was arrested for allegedly stalking his mom. This is a story that even the National Enquirer could make up.
