If you think you’ve suffered the most embarrassing first date of all time, then think again, because freelance court reporter Lindy Lou Layman has probably got you beat. According to SFGate, Layman had quite the night on Friday during
So here’s what we know: Layman is a 29-year-old freelance court reporter from Dallas. Buzbee is a well-known attorney, most widely recognized for successfully defending former Texas governor Rick Perry in an abuse-of-power case.
Although most reports allege that the two were on a first date, Buzbee told Texas Lawyer that “Layman came to his home with others and that he had not met her prior to that evening.”
According to Heavy, throughout the course of the night, Layman became intoxicated and refused to leave Buzbee’s house, even when he ordered her an Uber. She then began to tear paintings off of the walls, pour red wine on the paintings, throw sculptures across the room, and shout, “I’m not leaving!” Same, Lindy.

The real kicker is that Buzbee’s paintings weren’t just from his local Home Goods. Buzbee is, like, really rich. The Houston Chronicle states that when Buzbee bought the mansion in 2013, it was worth $14 million. And, according to KHOU-TV, “Two of the paintings were original Andy Warhol pieces worth $500,000 each, and the two damaged sculptures were valued at about $20,000 a piece.” Layman was arrested Saturday and released the following day on a $30,000 bail.
Another ~interesting~ individual who has found his way into the Buzbee home is none other than Donald Trump. In June 2016, Buzbee hosted a fundraiser for Trump, and told KHOU that he was “honored to host him.” Thankfully, Buzbee did denounce Trump after the Access Hollywood tapes were leaked in October 2016. We can’t deny, though, that destroying artwork that Trump once admired would be a lot more fun than destroying artwork that he, you know, didn’t admire.
