Guinness heiress in bath overflow lawsuit

Artist and brewery heiress Daphne Guinness is being sued by her neighbours for allegedly overflowing her bath on numerous occasions.

Karim and Tina Samii say Guinness has flooded their $12 million downstairs apartment with bath water on four different occasions.

The couple is seeking $1 million in damages and a court order barring Guinness from taking baths.

The first flooding incident was the fault of Guinness's contractors, the suit says, but the other three all happened after the fashion icon left the bath running and forgot to turn it off.

Guinness has been living at the property since 2008, having allegedly paid $15m for the 4,100 sq ft apartment.
