Jessica Jenner: A Positive Role Model
Many watched Caitlyn Jenner with admiration and awe at her courage. Us Weekly, July 16, 2015 reported that not everyone was happy with the Caitlyn Jenner moment. Jessica Steindorff, the driver of the Prius was a guest at the Arthur Ashe Award ceremony and watched as Caitlyn won the prestigious award. However, Jessica cannot understand how anyone can honor a person who took a life and injured others in a car accident. She credits Caitlyn to being a “positive role model,” but she slams her for not taking responsibility for the accident that happened on February 7.
Jessica and the family of Kimberly Howe, who was killed in the tragic accident, are suing Caitlyn, who at the time of the accident was Bruce Jenner. Jessica Steindorff accused Caitlyn
in the lawsuit of “negligently, carelessly, recklessly, and wantonly drove, managed, maintained, controlled, operated, and entrusted their motor vehicle so as to legally cause the plaintiff to be injured,” along with her car. Jessica estimated that the damages due to loss of wages, property loss, medical and hospital expenses cost her around $250,000. Bruce’s Cadillac Escalade carried only the minimum amount allowed by insurance companies. The stepchildren of Kimberly Howe, who passed away at the scene of the accident, filed a wrongful death lawsuit on May 1. They are suing Caitlyn, aka Bruce Jenner for their stepmother’s death. Caitlyn sent her condolences to the affected family members. She was helpful and cooperative to the police as they investigated the accident. However, according to the Howe’s attorneys, Jeffrey Wolf and John Sheehan, Caitlyn has not appeared for her noticed deposition.
Caitlyn has not been charged with a crime. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department continues their investigation. A video security camera attached to a bus, showed the scenes of the accident as it happened, but the Howe’s claim that the bus cam is missing one vital piece of evidence. TMZ reported that the Howe’s have an eyewitness who saw Caitlyn, aka Bruce Jenner, was driving erratically just before the accident.
Perhaps now that Caitlyn has accepted her Arthur Ashe Award, she can find the time to give her deposition to the police on what happened. Do you agree with Jessica in her accusations that Caitlyn hasn’t taken responsibility for the accident? Why do you think Caitlyn hasn’t given her deposition yet? Do you believe Kim Howe’s stepchildren in their claim?
