Antoinette Millard, 40, sued in response to an action brought by
American Express to freeze her assets after the bills went unpaid.
During the course of her lavish lifestyle, Millard pretended to be
a Saudi princess and a Victoria Secrets model.
According to the Associated Press, the suit alleges that Millard
was induced into opening a Centurian account – which comes with the
coveted "black" card and an almost infinite credit limit – after
the company promised that the charges could be paid off in flexible
amounts.
Millard also asserts in her complaint that she was "suffering
from anorexia, depression, panic attacks, head tumors and by reason
of such illnesses was mentally incompetent and unable of executing
or making any agreement".
Millard is seeking $2 million in damages.
But the dispute with American Express is not Millard's only
worry: she is currently on bail following her arrest in May on
charges of larceny. According to reports, Millard is accused of
trying to defraud an insurance company of $262,000 by falsely
claiming that she had been mugged and her jewellery stolen – a
charge that could result in a 15 year prison sentence.
