Vicki Brooks has hired leading Beverly Hills attorney's to sue both ABC and ex-girlfriend, Nicolette Catanzarite saying they "numerous defamatory statement." In a legal letter obtained by [Radar,](https://www.radaronline.com) it states, *"On July 11, Mr. Rufus-Isaacs wrote to ABC demanding a retraction of the story and threatening to bring a lawsuit seeking damages for the injury to Mr. Ayers' reputation."* Brooks says, *"ABC never gave me a reasonable opportunity to tell my side, and therefore the story, which is based on an interview with an ex-girlfriend, contains many mistakes. I am outraged that ABC should behave in this manner."* Brooks Ayer's lawyer said in a statement, *"ABC is making a habit of mounting witch hunts against men whom 20/20 unfairly brands liars, cheaters and deadbeats on national television without having done a proper investigation or interviewing the men in question. This is irresponsible journalism from a once respected icon of television news."* Do** you** think Brooks has a case?!
