[silverstein] leona's answer to any stress was anger. leona needed to have someone to blame. she certainly wasn't gonna blame herself. it had to be someone fault, so it was mimi's fault. wasn't jay's fault, he was dead. you think she killed your son? do i think so? yes. i'm not god but she didn't contribute to his welfare, let me say. at the funeral, jay was fresh in the ground when she turned to mimi and said, "i will destroy you." she tried to repossess the delorean she had given her. she charged mimi for the transport of the casket from florida. she sued for the possession of a topaz ring with 135 diamonds around it. she evicted mimi from her home. she had become gratuitously cruel. leona helmsley definitely deserves the moniker the "queen of mean" beca

should mimi groves be held accountable for something she said at age 15?at's the problem. i like what they are doing in europe where you have the right to be forgotten. we excuse a lot as minors. if you do something stupid is a minor, who among us doesn't have some sort of something stupid we said or did or something else. that's why were minor. you should be able to be forgotten for that. legislation in dealing with social media companies is going to have to change long term you are exchanging your access to who you are, where you're going, what social media you're using. the social media companies can monetize it. if you suddenly break the contract and say i don't want to do that anymore, you i think have the right to be forgotten. certainly when you're 15 years old. this poor young woman put it in context, made a mistake and she apologized for it. she's got to be able to move on with her life. >> lisa: i went to the university of tennessee so i am ashamed of their reactions here but what message do you think they're sending future applicants? >> lawrenc
