BEDBUGS AT THE RITZ-CARLTON

Oscar De La Hoya and Angelica Cecora to seek damages

Scott Geraghty, general manager of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, has admitted that bedbugs have been discovered in New York’s swankiest hotel. “Bedbugs are inevitable,” he said. “They’re brought in by guests and come in on luggage or things of that nature.”

A guest in Room 1005 of the hotel, where a midweek room can start at $695 and soar to $4500 for a suite, produced a specimen of the pesky bug, a wingless six-legged bloodsucker before checking out on Sunday.

Rosanna Polanco, a hotel maid, was upset because no one from the Ritz-Carlton told her about the bedbugs. She was told about them by a worker from Ecolab Inc., a company that supplies cleaning products and pest elimination services, but only after she had already cleaned Room 1005. “Be careful,” he warned her, “there’s a lot of bedbugs in there.”

Hotel management sources have told The Schalotte that Room 1005 is the same suite in which boxing great Oscar De La Hoya and two women had a coke and pot induced wild and kinky sex party.

The Schalotte contacted Angelica Cecora, the Playboy and Maxim model who was one of the women participating in De Lay Hoya’s sex romp. Cecora said that following the party she found the area around her crotch covered with “a bunch of red bumps that itched like hell.” The severe itching lasted for more than two weeks during which time she was unable to work or have sex with her boyfriend. She refused to say anything more and referred us to her lawyer.

Tony Evans, Cecora’s lawyer, told us he was preparing a $10 million lawsuit against the Ritz-Carlton. “Angelica has suffered considerable emotional distress and loss of income, and she has been deprived of a sexual relationship with her boyfriend,” he said, “all because of the hotel’s failure to maintain a clean and healthy bedbug-free environment.”

Evans went on to say that he would amend Cecora’s lawsuit against De La Hoya. “After all, it was De La Hoya who invited my client up to that suite. As you know, we are asking the court to award Angelica $5 million for imprisonment, emotional distress and assault and battery. Because of the bedbugs, we are going to double the damages to $10 million.”

The Schalotte also contacted De La Hoya. “That explains it ….. the red bumps and that terrible itching around my cock,” he said. “Thank God I like to wear crotchless panties, They make it a lot easier for me to scratch myself.”

Suddenly De La Hoya exclaimed, “ Oh shit, Millie [Oscar’s wife] is going to be really pissed off at me now. That explains why she’s been itching so much. I must have brought those fucking bedbugs home with me. Now she’ll have me sleeping on the couch again. I’m gonna sue the crap out of the Ritz-Carlton.”
