I think hes earned his right to party, I just hope he doesn’t start up with cocaine and strippers. This is the deadliest bankroll devastator!

Rizia Moreira VS Guy Laliberté

Posted by Poker Videos on January 24th, 2009

A court motion was filed recently in Quebec that is grabbing headlines on both sides of the boarders. An anonymous woman filed a claim for spousal support against a multi billionaire living in Quebec. This man is a provincial business leader and the creator of Cirque du Soleil. has been a common law husband to two women. With both there has been great history and involvement, however with Rizia Moreira there was a split after the birth of their 3rd child. The woman is asking for 56k / month and 50 million.

From what is currently known, Rizia Moreira met Guy when she was only 17 in Brazil. We know at that time she was in school and her dad was paying the bill. From there she fell in love with Guy and they moved to Canada against her dad’s wishes. At that point they began living in common law marriage. They had 3 children together, and have long since fallen out. Standard law in Quebec would allow for him to support the children, and their needs, but not Rizia’s, regardless of how long they lived together. She is pushing to change that law now, with the help of a former lover Herbert Black. Rizia’s challenge is not only against Quebec common law but a constitutional challenge. Due to the nature of this case, in Canada there is a Gag Order thus we are basing this information on sources that have spoken to the US press, and done so quietly.
Now, when you search in Canada they are referring to a billionaire in Quebec being sued by his former common law wife who’s aka is Lola. There are only 6 in Quebec, and Guy Laliberté is the youngest and the one with 5 children total. That would be the same case we are discussing. This challenge is going to be making headlines for a very long time to come.

Now why the heck is this grabbing so much attention in the US? 2 reasons both start and end with Guy Laliberté. The first is that he is the founder of Cirque Du Soleil, which is now attached to Las Vegas. Two is that Guy Laliberté is a major poker player, in the US and elsewhere. He has made a name for himself in cash games of significant proportions. Along with his poker talents he has created a reputation for beautiful women, exciting lavish lifestyle, and tenacity for life’s pleasures.

On the other end of the spectrum, the women he has been with the longest, Rizia Moreira and Claudia Barilla – both beauties – are recluse by public knowledge. Scouring the internet and making phone calls trying to glean a glimpse into the lifestyle these women have chosen to create, yields almost no information. The relentless efforts are limitedly fruitful, and without a doubt it is by design. What I can tell you is that Rizia and Guy were together for 10 years, and that by the time she was 27 when they split. I can also tell you that Claudia has been pregnant for both of the last two releases of new Cirque du Soleil performances, with Guy’s children. There are also pictures of Claudia modeling her picture perfect swimsuit body.
The people most confused by the wild public challenge are the children, and no one knows how they are being affected. Chances are, neither do their parents. Guy Laliberté is currently paying 36k / month, for two nannies already for the children, school tutors, and all of their other needs in addition to child support. It is possible and likely that this case will see the inside of the Canadian Supreme Court, and this site will make sure you know when.

Rizia Moreira suing Guy Laliberte for 50 million

Posted by Poker Videos on January 24th, 2009

Rizia Moreira may be the ex girlfriend who is suing Guy Laliberte, and not Claudia Laliberte as stated in previous post. The correct info is hard to come by since the judge in Montreal put a gag order on this case. Rizia has 3 kids with the high stakes poker player and owner of Cirque De Soleil and Claudia Barilla has 2 kids. The article in Montreal news states the woman who is suing him has 3 kids however it may be both women.

Rizia Moreira ex boyfriend Herbert Black who is funding the lawsuit. He has already paid her lawyer 1 million plus in lawyer fees! Is he doing this to be nice to Rizia Moreira, or does he have an axe to grind with Guy Laliberte? Herbert Black is a Montreal metals magnate who successfully sued Sotheby’s a little while back for millions.

So it is more likely that it is Rizia Moreira and not Claudia Barilla.

Claudia Barilla sues Guy Laliberté for 50 million

Posted by Poker Videos on January 23rd, 2009

It is being posted all over celebrity gossip sites that former model Claudia Barilla is suing Guy Laliberté for 50 million dollars. Guy Laliberté is founder and owner of Cirque Du Soleil and is a famous high stakes poker player.

Claudia Barilla is currently receiving 35k a month for living expenses for herself and her sons, but seeks 50 million and 50k a month. If Guy stops playing poker because of this, will Tom Dwan sue for one million a month for lifestyle he has become accustomed to? I doubt she wins the case and I doubt Guy quits playing poker.


Digg!
