Rosemary Shell just hit pay dirt. She sued her ex-fiancé, Wayne Gibbs, for calling off their wedding has been awarded $150,000 by a jury, according to a WSB-TV report. Shell said she moved to Hall County from Florida, leaving behind a high-paying job, to join Gibbs. She also said that she has suffered emotionally and financially since their break-up in 2007.
Gibbs said he paid off $30,000 of Shell’s debt during their engagement and also took her on trips. When he found out Shell had even more debt, he canceled the wedding. He notified her by leaving a note in their bathroom.
The jury awarded Shell the $150,000. “People shouldn’t be allowed to do that and hopefully he’ll think twice before he does it to someone else,” Shell told WSB.
I guess my natural inclination as a woman is to say BRAVO, but in reality will she really see a penny of that money. There is the possibility of an appeal which could tie this mess up for a long time.
