1960s “Batman” star Julie Newmar, now 71, apparently has quite the problem with her neighbor, TV actor Jim Belushi. For unspecified reasons, Newmar has taken to spying on Belushi and defaming his name in public, calling him a “Peeping Tom.”
Belushi is suing the actress for harassment in the amount of $1 million. The lawsuit states that Newmar’s “apparent obsession” has “grown more alarming” over time. It also describes Newmar’s behavior as that it is “[an] effort to force Belushi to move from his home.”
Newmar’s agent denied all accusations, saying, “The only person Catwoman would hassle would be Batman-Adam West.”
Newmar is no stranger to situations such as this-several years ago she was involved in a publicized debacle with former neighbors in which she was furious over their use of gas-powered leaf blowers.
