Socialite

The Resume

    (August 11, 1926-May 25, 2019)
    Defendant in high profile murder trial
    Accused of trying to murder his wife, wealthy socialite Sunny Von Bulow
    Charged with injecting insulin into Sunny, causing her to fall into a coma

Why he might be annoying:

    There were Roman emperors less decadent than this guy.
    He lived off Sunny's money, and pouted at ‘only' getting $120,000 a year from her.
    During their marriage, he openly cheated on Sunny with a soap opera star.
    He liked to make bad jokes when his wife was in coma, including: ‘What do you give a wife who has everything? A shot of insulin.'
    He appeared on the cover of ‘Vanity Fair' clad in a black leather getup.
    He liked to flit around in silk robes.
    Can we say ‘Eurotrash?'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was stuck in a loveless marriage.
    Famed defense attorney Alan Dershowitz got him acquitted at his re-trial.
    Jeremy Irons won an Academy Award for playing him in ‘Reversal of Fortune.'
    His case had the unintended benefit of disproving astrology, since people born under Leo are supposedly ‘faithful' and ‘loving.'
    He has a sense of humor, even if it's unbelievably morbid and distasteful.
