A former QVC executive filed a lawsuit on Thursday, against the matchmaking company she paid $150,000 to help her find a mate.

In the lawsuit, divorced mother-of-four Darlene Daggett said Kelleher International promised to hand pick her wealthy bachelors, with the goal of finding someone she could spend her retirement years with.

Instead, the 62-year-old former president of QVC's U.S. commerce, says she forked over six figures but ended up suffering a series of disastrous dates with men who were more than just unsuitable.

'Kelleher’s "highly screened" matches for Daggett included men who were married, mentally unstable, physically ill, pathological liars, serial Lotharios, stalkers, convicted felons, and men unwilling or unable to travel and/or the subject of professional sanctions,' Center City lawyer M. Kelly Tillery wrote in the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Philadelphia and obtained by Philly.com.

This woman CEO is a nut. What rich powerful man wants a needy senior, former CEO woman? There are too, too many young female toys who don’t want or need lasting relationships.

Who wants to date somebody like the Meryl Streep character in “The Devil Wears Prada”?

Absolutely it was quid pro quo. She and her family got what they wanted and he got what he wanted. You gotta bring something to the table.

I have no knowledge of this woman other than the article and I wish her well, but if she needs to resort to such high dollar services rather than the more common ones then something is either amiss with her or she fell for a marketing scam.

She could eat a cob of corn through a picket fence.

Shucks, Darlene, I don’t meet any of your criteria but I’m available for $150,000.

"... I also wondered who called those high-level “match-making” services whose adverts one sees in airline magazines ..."

I find them creepy and odd.

It's always women running them, and they come off as arrogant and yet ignorant. In reading them I get the idea that they were bored, wealthy housewives with a need to meddle in the lives of others.

The ads clearly try too hard.

there’s about 4 things very wrong with that photo, and one is the size of that woman’s head compared to her body.
