ATLANTA AP – Saying that his personal and private life was “virtually destroyed” by runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks’ pre-wedding flight to New Mexico, former fiance John Mason filed a countersuit against her for emotional distress on Friday.
The lawsuit says that Mason “today, carries the scars of Wilbanks’ bizarre behavior and is still the subject of national media attention, humiliation and embarrassment.” Mason also says in the countersuit that he is entitled to recover monetary damages as the result of being defrauded by Wilbanks not going through with their April 2005 wedding.
