Brian Laundrie's Parents Trying To Dodge Lawsuit From Gabby Petito's Family!

perezhilton.com:

Brian Laundrie’s parents are hitting back against the Petitos’ new lawsuit. On Wednesday, Laundrie family attorney Steve Bertolino filed a motion in a Florida courtroom to dismiss the lawsuit filed against them by Gabby Petitos’ dad, Joseph Petito, and mom, Nichole Schmidt.

The suit alleges that Chris and Roberta Laundrie knew about Gabby’s death much earlier than they let on — something we frankly all have kind of assumed.

Bertolino argued to the judge that there are no facts to support Gabby’s parents’ claims. Chris and Roberta also asked a judge to prevent the Petito-Schmidt families from filing an amended lawsuit should their dismissal request be granted.

The lawsuit, filed on March 10, stated: The document charged that Brian sent texts back and forth between his phone and Gabby’s after her death “in an effort to hide the fact she was deceased.” It went on to claim Laundrie sent an additional text from Gabby’s phone on August 30 to Nicole saying there was no service in Yosemite Park “in an effort to deceive” her.
