Jay Leno Sued for Bestiality Jokes Woman Says 'Crossed the Line'

Jay Leno and NBC defamed a flight attendant by falsely accusing her of "engaging in bestiality and sexual misconduct with a rat" that she purportedly smuggled onto a plane in her underwear, the woman claims in court.
Louann Giambattista sued the "The Tonight Show" host, his show and NBC Universal Media in Nassau County Supreme Court, claiming the comedian crossed the line with his "sickening, outrageous and disgusting attacks" on her.
The New York-based flight attendant says the defendants aired a segment mocking the claims she made in a federal lawsuit against her former employer of 32 years, American Airlines.
Giambattista, 55, had sued the airline in June, claiming her co-workers falsely reported that "she was carrying her pet rats onto work flights, and concealing them in her pantyhose or underwear."
