But now the hotel is trying to get the case thrown out, leaving Offen's $21 million lawsuit hanging by a g-string.
Offen, who is well known in New York for running around Manhattan in ladies' lingerie, was arrested October 8, 2008, at the Holiday Inn on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. A police report stated he was "causing other guests to feel uncomfortable," but Offen was eventually released without charge. He says hotel personnel saw him dressed in "a girl's black g-string exercise body attire," called him a "->-bleeped-<-," and told him to "get out of the hotel."
Worse, Offen says the abuse opened psychological scars he has been dealing with for more than two decades.
