Lapine says she "never felt so frightened and vulnerable" as when her daughter came home from school "and asked, 'Mom, what is an assassin?"' Lapine claims Jessica Seinfeld got ideas for her cookbook, "Deceptively Delicious" from Lapine's book "Sneaky Chef," which teaches parents how to hide vegetables in recipes for children.
The Seinfelds' attorney said in a statement Wednesday: "As a comedian, Jerry has a right under the First Amendment to tell jokes. Ms. Lapine, on the other hand, was not joking when she maliciously accused Jessica Seinfeld, who also has young children, of plagiarism, a charge that is demonstrably false."
