Hudson Cornelius Heinemann ? Really? Hud? Huddy? HH? The Hudster? The Hudmeister?
Wealthy UES Parents Sue School Over $50K Fingerpainting
.....................
According to the Post, socialite Michelle Heinemann and her investment-banker husband Jon say in the lawsuit that their son, Hudson Cornelius Heinemann, was underappreciated there. Plaintiffs son was consistently left out of school exhibits and films...and was made to go last at nearly everything, the lawsuit states.
Even more ghastly, On one occasion, plaintiffs 5-year-old son was relegated to the role of door-holder and ordered to hold the door for all of the other students. Look, if the Heinemanns wanted their kid to "build humility," they'd have sent him to The Avenues.
School administrators allegedly promised to cease all door-holding labors for young Hudson Cornelius if the Heinemann's gave some donations (including $6K worth of designer clothing items to the auction) and if renowned artist Michelle Heinemann helped Hudsons class create a sellable work of art for the auction.
The Heinemanns agreed to put in the winning bid for the finished finger painting for $3K, but they claim the school had a first-grade teacher named Ms. Bryant drive the bid up to the outrageous sum of $50,000. So the Heinemanns have since pulled Hudson out of the school, and are now demanding compensation for all of the attending costs, including $20,000 tuition to a new school, forfeited class fees for his little sister Hyacinth Cornelia, and Hudsons $60,000-a-year chauffeur.
