Marlon Brando Hit With Palimony Suit

The mother of three of Marlon Brando’s children--a woman who once doubled as the actor’s maid--filed a palimony lawsuit today (4/18) against the bloated thespian. According to this Los Angeles Superior Court complaint filed by Maria Cristina Ruiz, Brando promised to equally divide his property in the event the couple separated (which occurred last December). Ruiz claims Brando has reneged on that oral agreement and “repeated assurances that she would be secure for the rest of her life.” The ex-maid, whose relationship with Brando lasted nearly 14 years, claims damages in excess of $100 million.
