Amityville Horror director sues ex-wife after she duped him into believing daughter was his for 17 years
A filmaker is suing his ex-wife for allegedly duping him into believing for 17 years that a child was his daughter.
Andrew
Douglas, who directed the 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror, is
demanding back hundreds of thousands of pounds in child support.
He
says Ameena Meer asked him to marry her after claiming she was having
his baby. But the real father, according to the lawsuit, was another
Briton she had been cheating on him with.
Law suit: Andrew Douglas is suing his
ex-wife Ameena Meer for allegedly duping him into believing for 17 years
that a child was his daughter
Mr Douglas, who began his career in Lord Snowdon’s photographic
studio, says in the lawsuit that he met Miss Meer in London in 1989.
She had commissioned him to take photographs of Salman Rushdie for a magazine interview she had organised with the writer.
Over
the next three years the couple ‘had infrequent sexual relations’ when
they met up in London, according to papers filed at Manhattan Supreme
Court.
Once
pregnant, Miss Meer said she didn’t want a baby born out of wedlock
because ‘it would cause great shame and disgrace to her parents, who
were practising Muslims’.
The writer moved to London and
married Mr Douglas in August 1992. But the couple split months after
Sasha Douglas was born and Miss Meer took their daughter back to her New
York home.
In the court documents, Mr Douglas says he had
little contact with Sasha until her tenth birthday and felt depressed
about failing as a father.
Miss Meer, who has had two more
daughters with her second husband, allegedly told the director that ‘a
price tag was attached’ if he wanted to play any part in the girl’s
life.
Dispute: Novelist Ameena Meer said she had never knowingly lied to her former husband
He said he paid nearly £450,000 in child support and tuition fees,
gave Miss Meer £17,000 when she fell behind with her rent and handed out
a further £6,500 for a new bathroom.
Mr
Douglas’s relationship with Sasha is said to have improved after he
moved to California but he said he became suspicious last summer when
she asked him about his blood type.
Tests showed it was
incompatible with the 17-year-old’s. Miss Meer allegedly brushed off his
concerns, telling him in a telephone call last September:
‘If
you’re not Sasha’s father, it must be immaculate conception.’ A DNA
test taken later that month revealed that it was virtually impossible
for Mr Douglas to have been the father.
‘The probability of paternity is zero per cent,’ the genetic report concluded, said the suit.
The
court file says the biological parent is ‘a British man who,
unbeknownst to plaintiff at the time, was involved in a sexual
relationship’ with Miss Meer.
The real father refused to marry her and so ‘knowingly and with malice’ she told Mr Douglas the baby was his.
The
legal papers say Mr Douglas still loves the girl he believed to be his
daughter, but wants his former wife to pay back the child support and
pay compensation for emotional damages.
A friend of the
filmmaker told the New York Post that Mr Douglas was ‘a stand-up guy’
who ‘took Ameena at her word 17 years ago’.
He said Miss Meer has now
banned Mr Douglas from seeing Sasha. Miss Meer told the newspaper that
she had never knowingly lied to her ex-husband.
‘Of course I
didn’t lie. I obviously didn’t think that he wasn’t her father,’ she
said. ‘If he wants to be her father, he should provide for her. Isn’t
that what’s fair?’
She said the lawsuit was ‘a terrible thing for him to do to his daughter’.
After
working for Lord Snowdon, Mr Douglas became a magazine photographer for
Esquire and The Face and then a director of music videos and
commercials before going into movie-making.
His 2003 documentary, Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, won a Royal Television Society award.
His Crazy Eyes detector was obviously out of calibration!
What a fuckin mug on that cheatin whore.
Bet that bitch does a lot of Coke.
I hope he wins everything he is asking for.
He'll lose, child was raised very well, and wife was taken care of.

I believe Crazy Eyes had the first chapter in the DSM-I
I get sick reading stuff like this. I doubt he will get a dime back. The man always loses.

First post.
In before he gets caught trying to hire a hitman.
Always get a paternity test. Always.
Never assume the child is yours. Never.
I don't know what British law is on this. In Kalifornia, if a man is married to a woman on the day she gives birth, he is legally the father, period. She may have lied to get him to marry her, but his paternal obligations to the baby may be established permanently. He doesn't appear to have a case against the biological father, either. She wasn't married to him while she was out screwing the other guy, so he can't claim alienation of affection.
Bitch screwed him, and not in a good way, either.

I read somewhere that for around 10-15% of people their father is someone different than who they think it is.
Both sexes cheat, but tricking a guy into raising another man's child....that's beyond fucked up.
Yet another reason to not have sex outside of marriage.

Thank you Steve.
I'll file that under reason #592 why I don't like california.
Here, it would be a waste of lawyer fees.

That is something that needs to be fixed here....if you ain't the biological daddy then you should not have to support the kid.
Cheek swabs don't leave any tell-tale needle pricks for the mom to find.
Just sayin'

I read a journal article from a hospital in the midwest that did a paternity test on every baby born there for a year, only disclosing the results if the mother consented. It was MUCH higher than 10% weren't the claimed father. I think it was 30%.

You make a movie portraying a major lie as fact.
Your wife portrays a major lie as fact.
Seems fair.

A British study showed 25% of children born into a marriage did not belong to the husband.
It will be nearly impossible to prove that she knew he wasn't the father.....saddly, he can't win

That takes one cold bitch to trick her husband or bf into raising another man's child for 18+ years and never telling him.
Probably the same type of bitch that would shoot her husband in his sleep if she ever thought he was cheating on her.
ewwwwwwww

Yeah, it would be one thing if you had a smoking hot trophy wife pull this shit on you, but to have a woman that looks like a combination of an ugly 10 year old boy and an ugly 90 year old witch do this…. its just beyond fucked up.

+1 and he's an idiot for not having a DNA test too, if that was available 17 years ago?

Hard to tell if that data set is a regional anomaly. I'm sure in the hood where they breed like feral dogs on the street and go on Maury Povich accusing an entire herd of men for paternity the incidence is high. If they're suburban nuclear families that were married before impregnation, I'd expect the incidence to be much lower.
Once pregnant, Miss Meer said she didn’t want a baby born out of wedlock because ‘it would cause great shame and disgrace to her parents, who were practising Muslims’.
Where's a good old fashioned honor killing when you need one?

Yup, mine pegged immediatly.
The best revenge?
Hey, she's 18, she's not your daughter .........

The crazy is strong in that one!! Even through the hair partially covering her face in the first pic, the crazy eyes shine through.
Crazy eyes, she got em.
The guy always seems to get the short shrift of things.
The other part is that under California law if the baby is born within 9 months after dissolution - haa haa.

Thank you Steve.

Florida is similar, but will let you off the hook with proof that the kid really isn't yours. My ex and I split up, she met some guy a couple years later and had a kid. When the divorce was filed I had to provide the brith certificate naming the actual father along with affadavits stating that I wasn't. Otherwise, children "of the marriage" become the husband's responsibility.
So a muslim did some fucked up shit. Happens alot.

I sure hope so as well but if she has nothing what can he really get from her.
She should perhaps spend some time in Jail for fraud or something like that.
They deserve each other. Poor kid.
