World-famous hand and foot model Christina Ambers has filed a $10 million lawsuit against her posh Manhattan apartment building, alleging she's faced discrimination since she married the building's former doorman last July.

"These snooty Upper East Side people who live in co-ops are very upset that the gentleman who once hailed the taxi for them or announced the guest for them is now the husband of a shareholder in the building," said Ambers' lawyer, Josh Price. "They resent that he is being treated as one of them."

With no idea of what the issues of law are involved or any details of what the evidence that may be proffered is, it is hard to make any comments that would be of value.

After reading the article, I have a feeling that the couple will be awarded money -- not the full amount, but perhaps enough to buy her out of her co-op and send them on their way.

IMHO this is not because he is Hispanic, but because the woman 'fraternized' with the 'help', and that the 'help' continued dating the model despite being warned not to.
