Spike Lee Settles After Ruining the Lives of an Elderly Couple
Director Spike Lee has to be feeling pretty awful right now, and he should. Lee was one of the celebrities who helped spread a Twitter post allegedly listing the address of George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is the man who shot Trayvon Martin. Turns out the address in the tweet was the address of Elaine and David McClain who are in their 70's. They have a son named George Zimmerman who is not the same one and who hasn't lived in their home since the mid-90's. The couple was forced to flee their home and live in a hotel out of fear for their lives. Thursday Matt Morgan, the McClain's lawyer, announced Lee called the McClain's to apologize and agreed to compensate them for "their loss and for the disruption into their lives." According to Elaine McClain, "...you could just tell he felt really bad about it. And it was just a slip, and I just know that he really, really has been concerned."
