Bill Goat Tavern Owner Faces Off Against Ex-Playboy Model in Judicial Race
The Chicago Tribune ^ | February 23, 2018 | Steve Schmadeke

Scion to a cheeseburger empire, former prosecutor, Tom Sianis... won Democratic Party backing despite having few years of experience... (he also handles legal affairs for Billy Goat Tavern). Divorce attorney Corri Fetman, 54, and public defender Tim Leeming... remain in a race that would have been perfect material for the late Mike Royko, a nationally syndicated columnist.

Fetman made headlines a decade ago after commissioning a billboard featuring a scantily clad woman — Fetman herself — “Life’s Short. Get A Divorce” before an alderman ordered it taken down. It drew torrents of publicity for Fetman and an offer to pose for Playboy.

Fetman wrote a column for the Playboy, but later filed a $4.5 million sexual harassment lawsuit against her boss who allegedly groped her, bombarded her with explicit emails and calls and took away her column when she rebuffed his advances. The executive left and the lawsuit was later settled. Fetman said the terms are confidential.

Fetman was sickened when she saw an attack ad dubbing her a “poser” over images of herself in a bikini at a bodybuilding competition and in front of her controversial billboard. The video appeared on the Facebook page of a group linked to a Sianis campaign consultant.

“It’s body shaming,” Fetman said.

“Posers, posers — we have enough of them in Chicago,” a voice says in the video. “Do we really need another one who’s just posing to try to be a judge? Vote no on Corri Fetman’s idea of being a judge. We need judges who are real, not posing.”

“It’s not a joke. Getting a divorce because life is short and here’s a woman in her underwear? It’s a serious business and it’s a tragedy.”

Fetman declined to respond to the criticism but said the billboard was about helping her clients.

Embattled plastic surgeon Dr. Brad Jacobs went on the attack yesterday...

“He saved my life,” said Fetman, who came to Jacobs after a botched boob job and flew from Chicago to defend him. “Not only did he do everything he said he would do, he made me whole again.”

Probably. Or what passes as ‘hot’ in Jersey and Chicago.
