The legend has it that this former A+ list celebrity, after killing a man, never again saw the woman who was with him at the time of the death. She came from a very wealthy family, but the former A+ list celebrity was even more wealthy. He preferred dating women without means because he was embarrassed when he did something to cause high society to turn their noses at him. This was one of those times. He did try to keep her out of the press and to not involve her, but he was unable to do so. Embarrassed at what he had put her through, he always told people he never saw her again after a very public spectacle regarding the killing of the man.
This is not true though. He did see her again and once again, she managed to be there for a death. This time though, there were no doubts that the A+ lister killed a man. Our celebrity and the woman were in Santa Barbara for polo. It was late summer, just a month or so after the last time he had seen her. He had driven to Santa Barbara to make amends. After the match, they attended an event. At the event, an African-American waiter spent a little too much time talking to the date of the A+ lister. She explained that his wife had been an employee of her family for decades. Apparently our A+ lister was still upset that she had been speaking to him as a friend and in public where others would see. He confronted the waiter while the waiter was taking a smoke break in the back. Words were exchanged and then the A+ lister hit the waiter over the head with a tire jack and killed him. He then went back inside, grabbed his date and took her home. Immediately after that he had his attorney start working the phones and writing checks and our A+ lister never even had to give a police interview.
Apparently the woman left the next day and didn't step foot back in her family home until the wife of the man killed, retired.
