Candace Bushnell, 'Sex And The City' Author, Sued By Gay Best Friend And Former Manager
In a twist of fate which could have been lifted straight from an episode of the hit HBO series, "Sex and the City" author Candace Bushnell is facing a lawsuit from a former manager who has also been described as her former gay best friend.
The New York Post reports that Clifford Streit, who apparently served as the model for the flamboyant character Stanford Blatch (played by Willie Garson), is demanding a 7.5 percent cut of Bushnell's total earnings from both the TV series and subsequent movies, a sum he figures is no less than $150,000.
Streit, who reportedly claims he was instrumental in getting HBO to produce "Sex and the City" based on Bushnell's New York Observer columns in the first place, also served as the scribe's manager until 1999, when he was fired.
