Fishy story to begin with.
Brownstein signs up to be roomies with Lader “a known bully who everyone is afraid of”.
And room with her in Barcelona . AND agree to share off campus housing for the next year.  And apparently still are.
Mom tells her story from 4000 miles away–apparently she skyped a lot at weird hours with her D.
And then Lader “the aspiring lawyer” files a case in federal court.
