HOUSTON - The former wife of President Bush's brother has rejected a proposed settlement of a slander lawsuit accusing her of spreading rumors that Neil Bush fathered a child out-of-wedlock.
Sharon Bush says paternity tests she ordered on the boy last year are unreliable. She claims the doctor who performed the test is unqualified, and that she hired a new DNA expert to review the original test.
The original results "are flawed and should be thrown out," Sharon Bush said in a statement released Tuesday by her publicist. "They do not demonstrate one way or the other who fathered the child."
The paternity tests showed Robert Andrews - ex-husband of Neil Bush's current wife, Maria Andrews Bush - was the father of the boy, then age 3, not Neil Bush.
Robert Andrews sued Sharon Bush for $950,000, an apology, and part of any future book advances or royalties she receives.
Despite a letter to a judge from Andrews' lawyers announcing a proposed settlement Monday, Sharon Bush's legal team later filed papers saying the parties have "unsuccessfully attempted to settle this case" and are ready for trial in April.
Sharon and Neil Bush divorced in 2003 after 23 years of marriage. Neil Bush married Maria Andrews Bush last March.

Sounds like she's nuts. No wonder Neil Bush divorced her.

How terrible to do this to a little child. Surely she is evil to continue on with this.
She seems to care not for her own children either.

Can Neil simply starve her to death or does he have to move to Florida first ?
To: SmithL
She is pretty low to drag an innocent 3 year old child into this in the face of DNA evidence. The judge ought to sanction her and her lawyers, strike their pleadings and grant judgment to the child's father.

Sharon, if the people that you hired to do the paternity tests botched them, that's your problem.

Probably not in Texas. On the other hand, if he shot her, he could probably claim she needed killin' and get away with it. I mean, it is Texas.

The original results "are flawed and should be thrown out," Sharon Bush said in a statement released Tuesday by her publicist. "They do not demonstrate one way or the other who fathered the child." Did she boink so many men that it is just impossible for her to figure it out?
