If Kristen Saban's last name sounds familiar, it's because she's the daughter of University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban. Her name has been in the headlines recently, but not because of her father. The younger Saban is at the center of an University of Alabama sorority lawsuit that claims she pummeled a girl over a Facebook status. Is it ever that serious?
In August of 2010, Saban and "friend" Sarah Grimes were engaging in a power hour at local bar Rounders, where Saban's occasional boyfriend, "BV," was also present. Already angry that he wasn't paying a significant amount of attention to her, she got pissed off again while on the phone with him at home. This allegedly prompted her to sprawl out on the floor for a temper tantrum.
After Saban refused help from others, Grimes reportedly told her, "Kristen, please just shut up. We're all sick and tired of hearing it." This was common behavior for Saban,so Grimes added that she needed therapy. After storming into her bedroom, she went on Facebook and posted this: "No on e likes Sarah! Yayyyyy!"
Furious, Grimes decided to approach her, even though she'd been warned about Saban's violent nature. She allegedly told another girl, Courtney, "Well, if she touches me, I'll kill her." Saban heard her, and decided to prove her right. Here's a play-by-play of the beatdown that followed:
31. Kristen immediately used both of her hands and shoved Sarah into the corner of Courtney's open door, slamming Sarah's head.
