I agree with your overall assessment, but honestly I feel celebrities tend to manipulate the masses for personal gain all the time and wouldn't be surprised if this is just a publicity stunt gone awry.

Not to mention, this is really nothing new. People have been suing for ridiculous reasons, and making ridiculous claims of entitlement in that pursuit for as long as we've had a court system to game.

Someone once sued Yellowstone National Park for not having a sign up to warn that people outside during an electrical storm may get struck by lightning. The real issue in this is how the court rules and the reasoning for it.
