Roommies, you know what they say, what’s done in the dark eventually comes to light. Unfortunately, that came at a hefty price for Diana Downing, 54, who claims she was cut out of her fathers $80 million fortune because she walked in on him messing with a man when he was married to her mom.
According to NY Daily News, Diana said he father wasn’t out and their relationship never got back on track, knowing she knew his deepest darkest secret.
“While it is challenging to untangle the dynamics of our family, I believe that strains between my father and myself emerged when I was a young teenager,” Downing wrote in an affidavit as part of an attempt to get a piece of the money.
“I also suspect that I interrupted an encounter between my father and a male lover,” she wrote. “I believe that my father was so embarrassed that he shunned me.”
She said her dad took it so far to the point that he didn’t even show up for her high school graduation or Yale Univeristy commencement ceremony.
What’s interesting about this is that her brother, David Downing, said his sister is lying with “no basis in fact.”
A lawyer for David Downing said that Diana got cut out of the will because her father was disappointed in her choices and had rejected his attempts at reconciliation.
Diana said in her affidavit that if her father hadn’t had died in the tragic car accident in 2016, then they would’ve possibly been able to hash things out.
“I was cautiously hopeful that my father would overcome the embarrassment that I believe prompted him to shun me in my teen years, and which I suspect haunted him,” she wrote.
“I believe that, shortly before he died, my father was preparing to reconnect with me.”
