Actress Alyssa Milano has settled a legal battle with her former accountant as the case was on the verge of going to trial.
Milano and her husband, agent David Bugliari, filed suit in 2017, alleging that accountant Kenneth Hellie had forged her signature on checks, failed to pay overdue bills and taxes and allowed costs to balloon on their home remodeling project.
Hellie filed a countersuit, accusing Milano and Bugliari of ignoring repeated warnings to rein in the remodeling project and stop spending.
The case was set to go to trial on Aug. 19 in the Van Nuys Superior Court. The parties filed a settlement notice on Monday and both suits will be dismissed. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Milano’s attorney, William J. Briggs, issued a statement on Monday saying the couple is happy to have the matter behind them.
“Alyssa Milano and David Bugliari have successfully settled their lawsuit against their business managers,” Briggs said. “As the case was preparing for trial, the parties reached a confidential settlement for an undisclosed amount. Both Ms. Milano and Mr. Bugliari are very pleased with the terms of the settlement and are satisfied that it has been resolved.”
Milano accused Hellie of using her funds to prop up his investments without disclosing the conflict. She also alleged that Hellie scotch-taped her signature onto wire transfer authorizations. She said she fired Hellie in June 2016, after which he allegedly forged her signature on a $26,000 check for his professional services.
Hellie alleged that the couple refused to live within their means and then blamed him for the dire state of their finances.
Drug and liquor dealers are the only people paid on time in Hollywood.
With this off of her plate her time is again free to travel the country and play Abortion Barbie.
She sounds like a real prize to spend time at home with every evening
Is it just me or does she come off as the damaged type? As in sexually abused at a very young age by folks that were much older than her.
Something is way off. She doesn’t lead a normal life.
Yeah, but she’s hot.
She probably isn't home all that often, what with the dire straits the world is in and the many causes needing her attention.
Arhnold diddled her in commando
I’m sure they probably settled for a whole lot less than $10 million. They supposedly spent 5 million remodeling a house that was worth 3 million.
Alyssa’s kids are still under 8 years old.
In a few years, they’ll find out about all her crusades to support abortion till the last minute. The kids may wonder:
“Does she even want us here, or does she regret not having any abortion? Is that why she spends every waking hour trying to make it easy for other women to get rid of their babies?
Is that why she’s always angry?”
What a pleasant woman!

I know the contractor who did her remodel. He said she constantly made changes. He told her each and every time that this would add x amount to the original estimate and it would take x days longer. She was too stupid to understand that and was dumbfounded when the final bill arrived. And yes, she is dumb as a rock.
Don’t forget that Tony Danza is a homo.
He blames co-star Judith Light for Alyssa and co-star Danny Pintauro becoming such messes.
Married twice. Several kids. More like he is in love with himself.
Turned down several roles because they wouldn’t change name of character to Tony.
68 years old! Wow!
She will give all the money recovered to the “immigrants”.
