Gigi Stetler and RV Sales of Broward returns to court in the Camping World and Mark Bellissimo case on October 27th
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida RV Dealer Gigi Stetler and her company, RV Sales of Broward, have filed a third amended complaint in their 2010 lawsuit against a major Equestrian show, alleging an attempt to put her company out of business in conjunction with Camping World, and also alleges intentional interference with adventitious business relationships, civil theft, conversion, tortious interference and many other claims.
Stetler alleges Camping World and their celebrity CEO, Marcus Lemonis, the star of CNBC's primetime show THE PROFIT, who she had earlier rebuffed when he tried to buy her business in 2008, conspired with Bellissimo Entities to force RV Sales of Broward out of business, when Stetler politely but firmly rejected all of Marcus Lemonis's offers to buy her business.
A hearing takes place on October 27th to compel Bellissimo and his entities to turn over long-awaited evidence in this civil case. Already more than 500 documents have been discovered so far but Stetler's lawyers, Ticktin Law Group, want the court to compel Bellissimo's entities to release their records.
Stetler alleges that she attempted to negotiate terms for her 2010 contract which had been in place since 2000, Bellissimo entities tricked Stetler and RV Sales of Broward into turning over all of her confidential clients list, trade secrets and business model. Stetler alleges they requested this information as the condition for a new agreement with her, while Bellissimo and Marcus Lemonis had a deal already in place that was contingent upon Bellissimo forwarding Stetler's confidential client list over to Camping World, to facilitate the malicious destruction of RV Sales of Broward's business.
Stetler also alleges that in furtherance of the plan for Camping World to steal the customers of RV Sales of Broward, Mr. Bellissimo and Mr. Lemonis improperly and wrongfully had Gigi Stetler barred from the competition at the equestrian event. They believed that her presence at the event, even just as a competitor, would cause competition between RV Sales of Broward, and Camping World.
Stetler's suit alleges that this scheme by Bellisimo and Lemonis was not only an attempt to obtain the business and customers that RV Sales of Broward had established over the years, but was, according to the complaint, also a malicious reaction by Lemonis, Camping World's CEO, who could not tolerate the fact that Gigi Stetler stood up to him, by refusing to sell RV Sales of Broward to Camping World in 2008.
