Things got nasty last week in a Seattle courtroom, where Holland America Line is asking a federal judge to toss a $21.5 million jury award to Springfi eld businessman James Hausman, who was konked in the head by a sliding glass door during a 2011 around-the-world cruise and says that he suffered brain damage. After the jury issued the eight-fi gure verdict in October, the cruise line says that Amy Mizeur, Hausman’s erstwhile personal assistant, told the company that Hausman was faking injuries. Mizeur also says that Hausman drank as much as a case of beer a day, had made advances toward her and had given her thousands of dollars, a credit card and trips to his Wisconsin cabin, according to a Seattle Times report. She also says that Hausman told her to delete emails pertinent to the case and had surfed the Internet for videos of people having seizures as part of a scheme to fake symptoms. Hausman, former owner of The Gold Center, fi red Mizeur last spring, purportedly after she forged a $2,000 check. Hausman’s lawyers say that Mizeur is little more than an extortionist, and they introduced an email she allegedly wrote to Hausman after being fi red to prove it: “I asked for you to pay me off like you have the rest of the people you have (expletive) over in this world. You aren’t willing to do that? Then I will make sure everyone including your wife and child know everything I know about you. And that is not going to be pretty.”
