South African Singer Sunette Bridges Sues Former Fiancé

After having been married and divorced four times before the age of 40, one would think that Sunette Bridges would have been grateful to be spared the pain and hassle of a fifth divorce when the guy who would have been ‘Mr. Bridges the fifth’ decided to break off their engagement.

But no.

The singer/serial bride and daughter of the late Bles Bridges is suing the Eastern Cape farmer, Deon van Jaarsveld, who jilted her via SMS less than one month before their wedding, thus turning what would have been their wedding vows into her wedding woes. In the suit, Sunette is seeking more than R1.1 million, driving home the point that although she may appear cheap, she definitely likes money.

And that amount isn’t just for the pain and humiliation she suffered. According to IOL: “Bridges claimed she had also incurred plenty of expenses in anticipation of her wedding day.

“This included R17 000 for her dream red wedding dress and the outfits of her two young children.”

Actually, we think Sunette should pay Deon for saving her from herself and from that red wedding dress.
