University football coach's daughter 'beat sorority sister so badly that she needed reconstructive surgery' | Mail Online
One sorority sister was being sued by another after a confrontation over a boyfriend led to a vicious, bloody cat fight with the girls repeatedly punching each other in the head and tearing out hair, according to court documents.
Kristin Saban, daughter of legendary University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban, was being sued for $10,000 by fellow Phi Mu sister Sarah Grimes, who claims the two attacked each other over a Facebook post following a night of drinking games.
The lawsuit was filed late last month in Tuscaloosa by Miss Grimes, who attends the $36,000-a-year University of Alabama with Miss Saban.
The incident happened on August 28, 2010 after tit-for-tat bickering led to Kristen posting on Facebook: 'No one likes Sarah! Yayyyyy!'. Miss Grimes is alleged to have replied: 'Well if she touches me, I'll kill her.'
The heated verbal exchange then erupted, with Kristin shoving her sorority sister into a door and slamming her head, according to court documents seen by Gawker.
Sarah reacted, pushing back and saying: 'Don't touch me.'
Kristen then repeatedly punched Sarah in the face as she screamed: 'I'm calling the cops!'
Miss Saban kept a firm grip on Miss Grimes' hair as the two wrestled down the hallway.
Kristen continued to rain blows on Sarah's face, despite attempts of fellow sorority students to separate the pair.
In the end it took two girls to pull Kristen off Sarah, whose nose was now streaming with blood.
Grimes suffered numerous injuries that an emergency room doctor said could have killed her, the lawsuit claimed.
The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of at least $10,000 but doesn't mention the football coach Saban or his wife Terry.
An attorney for Kristen Saban filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on Thursday, blaming the altercation on Grimes and claiming the coach's daughter acted only in self-defence.
Kristen Saban's motion said she didn't cause any of Grimes' injuries.
A representative of the coach declined comment. A lawyer for Grimes, Stephen Strickland, called the lawsuit 'a private matter'.
