Ricki Lake felt “gratitude and blessings” nobody was hurt in a house fire that ruined her $20,000-a-month Malibu rental property last fall. Unfortunately, there are still legal repercussions. Now she’s feeling the heat from a lawsuit filed by her landlord alleging that the talk show host negligently set the fire by improperly refilling oil into a portable space heater. “[Lake] caused the oil to spill which was ignited by the hot heating coils which [Lake] had not allowed to cool,” says the plaintiff in the lawsuit . “The flaming oil quickly caught hold and began to burn items inside the property. [Lake] failed or did not attempt to extinguish the fire.” The lawsuit was filed June 6 and seeks unspecified damages. [Photo: WENN.com]
