The family feud over a $2.6 billion New York property empire
The heirs to Sol Goldman's real estate fortune are taking a new step in their battle over a property empire worth more than $US1.7 billion ($2.6 billion). One of Sol's daughters, Amy Goldman Fowler, and a grandson, Steven Gurney-Goldman, asked a New York court to remove two of Sol's daughters, Jane Goldman and Diane Goldman Kemper, as executors of the estate of Lillian Goldman, Sol's wife who died more than two decades ago. Lillian's estate was most recently valued at $US656 million in 2022, and her trust was valued at $US1.07 billion. The family owns interests in marquee Manhattan properties including the ground leases for the Mark Hotel and the Peninsula New York hotel. In filings in Surrogate's Court in New York — which handles wills and estates — Steven and Amy allege that Jane has made efforts to wrest control of the property empire from certain family members and has refused to distribute the estate and trust's assets in the two decades since Lillian died. Amy and Steven are also separately seeking to remove Jane as a trustee of the Lillian Goldman Marital Trust, according to one of the filings. Steven and Amy claim that, as of 2022, the estate and trust had $US100 million in liquid assets that could 'easily be distributed' to the beneficiaries, but allege that Jane and Diane were holding those assets hostage. 'Steven and Amy's latest filing in Surrogate's Court attempts to revive claims that were a part of that baseless scheme and that the New York Supreme Court dismissed last year for having been filed in the wrong forum, over Steven and Amy's strong objection,' Jane and Diane's lawyer Jason Cyrulnik said. 'We look forward to further exposing their leverage scheme and defeating it in due course.' In one document filed Wednesday, Steven alleges that Jane uses Diane as her proxy to obtain control over estate assets. Steven also alleged concerns about Diane's lack of capacity to serve as co-executor, citing an instance in 2024 when he claimed Diane couldn't recall key details of the family business structure during a deposition. 'Sadly, Diane suffers from substantial health issues that have diminished her mental capacity to the point that she can no longer serve as co-executor of the Estate,' according to Steven's filing. 'In fact, as a result of her incapacity, Diane is currently unaware that she is serving as co-executor, which has enabled Jane to take advantage of Diane to the detriment of other beneficiaries.'

Grammy-winning rapper Doechii was criticized for swearing at her assistants. Instead of apologizing, she stood up to her fans.
Doechii fans are divided after a video emerged showing the rapper shouting at her staff before she appeared at the Met Gala. And instead of apologizing, she thanked her team but said the event was "overstimulating." Doechii is the latest female artists whose star is rising not to apologize after a fan backlash, but to instead highlight her own needs. Last year, Chappell Roan was criticized for not taking photos with fans and shouting at a photographer at the 2024 VMAs. She also spoke out about how fame and fan interactions had a negative effect on her mental health. On Monday, a TikTok account called theviketwins published the video of paparazzi spotting Doechii at the Mark Hotel in New York, where celebrities often get dressed before appearing on the Met Gala red carpet. Celebrities typically hide their outfits before the big reveal on the red carpet, so Doechii's team quickly tried to cover her with a wardrobe screen and umbrellas. As the team tried to find more umbrellas, Doechii could be heard saying in a raised voice, "Give me another umbrella. I need more fucking umbrellas." Some fans criticized Doechii for raising her voice and using a swear word while speaking to her team. On Wednesday, Doechii responded to the drama by sharing a TikTok video captioned: "God forbid a girl needs more umbrellas." @iamdoechii_ All jokes aside this was such an overstimulating night but I wouldn't trade it for the world! This was the night we all dreamed of and my team killed it (umbrellas aside) 😭🥴 ♬ Easy - Commodores "All jokes aside this was such an overstimulating night but I wouldn't trade it for the world! This was the night we all dreamed of and my team killed it (umbrellas aside)," she wrote beneath the video. Doechii also reshared the post on her Instagram story. In a subsequent post she said she was proud of her glam and fashion teams, and that she had dreamed of attending the Met Gala for a long time. Any big red carpet event can be a place to shine for celebrities. But a first appearance on the prestigious Met Gala red carpet, as was the case for Doechii, can be a career-defining moment and a sign that a person is on their way to becoming an A-lister. Some fans, including rapper JT, praised Doechii's response. She commented on Doechii's TikTok that she understood it was a stressful night. Doechii was also part of the committee for this year's gala. "That was anxietyyyyyyy🖤! Big night! Your debut! Getty was there, I get it! You ate!" JT wrote. Other fans criticized Doechii for not taking responsibility for her actions or apologizing publicly. A representative for Doechii did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Generate Key Takeaways On Monday night after the Met Gala, there was no shortage of after parties to choose from. The real question was: which party would emerge as the late-night place to see and be seen? There was Willy Chavarria's party at the Mark Hotel uptown, which benefited from proximity to the museum, as well as the classic Boom at the Standard party, not to mention A$AP Rocky's party at Jean's, and parties hosted by Janelle Monáe, LaQuan Smith and a late-night scene at Casa Cipriani that drew the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and, yes, even New York Mayor Eric Adams. Downtown in the Financial District at the Water Street Associates building, the creative office hub underscored a work hard, party harder ethos as it hosted the third annual AprèsMet after party along with Alex Consani, stylist Carlos Nazario, model Paloma Elsesser and Luar designer Raul Lopez. The office space was transformed into a club for one night by Water Street Associates, in collaboration with jewelry brand Guzema. More from WWD A seven-foot Champagne tower loomed over most guests as they entered the space (for those feeling less bubbly after the long night, Lagavulin scotch was also on offer). Guests stopping by included Stormzy, Delaney Rowe, Myha'la, gymnast Sunisa Lee, Jerry Lorenzo, Maximilian Davis, Lineisy Montero, Vittoria Ceretti and more.
