Story about Tyna Marie Robertson and Michael Flatley
Wow - just read article about Tyna Marie and Michael Flatley on the CNN website. I just wanted to post this because I think it is so odd that this woman has apparently slept with both Michael Flatley and Brian Urlacher - two men who may in fact be the opposite of one another. This Tyna Marie must be a real catch…
A judge has ordered Tyna Marie Robertson - a 35 year old woman who accused Lord of the Dance - Michael Flatley of raping her in a Las Vegas hotel room. Tyna Marie Robertson has been ordered to pay him more than $11 million after finding she made false allegations to extort money from him, according to documents obtained Monday.
A Superior court judge found that real estate agent Tyna Marie Robertson had defamed and intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon Michael Flatley, 49, who appeared in “Riverdance,” “Lord of the Dance,” “Feet of Flames” and “Celtic Tiger”.
Tyna Marie Robertson had alleged Michael Flatley raped her in a Las Vegas hotel in 2002 and threatened to sue unless he agreed to pay a “seven figures” settlement, according to court papers.
Police declined to press criminal charges, and Michael Flatley said the sex was consensual.
Tyna Marie Robertson then filed a $33 million lawsuit in Illinois alleging sexual assault, but it was dismissed.
Michael Flatley has indicated that he will donate any money he receives from the settlement to charity.
Flatley countered with a lawsuit against Robertson and her lawyer D. Dean Mauro claiming extortion, intentional infliction of emotional distress and defamation.
The California Supreme Court held in July 2006 that Mauro had committed extortion, and he settled the case by making "a substantial payment" to Michael Flatley, according to a statement from the dancer's lawyer, Ricardo P. Cestero.
The judgment order against Tyna Marie Robertson formalized a ruling made by Stern during a hearing this month. Flatley plans to donate any recovery on the settlement to charity, Cestero said. Telephone numbers for Tyna Marie Robertson and Mauro were not listed.
Tyna Marie Robertson is the ex-girlfriend of Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, and the two have battled in court themselves over their young son, Kennedy.
Tyna Marie Robertson also filed a paternity suit against Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher last year. DNA tests confirmed the paternity. Robertson has also dated other wealthy and famous men whom she ultimately sued, according to reports.
