Stephen Gianelli,
2. At some point in or around October 2013, I began an apartment search in the Los Angeles area. Marie Jones posted an ad and I rented a room from her for the months of November and December 2013. At that time, I met Karina Von Watteville a/k/a Karina Fimbel. Ms. Watteville was living with Marie Jones and that is how I became acquainted with her.
3. Problems arose between Marie Jones and Karina Von Watteville related to monies alleged owed Ms. Jones and Ms. Watteville’s cats who were using the apartment as their kitty litter box. Karina Von Watteville, who picks through people’s trash and brings items home, infested the apartment with bed bugs and cock roaches. An argument arose over money allegedly due Marie Jones and the police were called. This incident occurred in or around November/December 2013.
4. I continued to look for a permanent and more appropriate room to rent. Karina Von Watteville advised me that she lived with a woman by the name of Paulette Brandt who had an available guest room for rent. Ms. Von Watteville liked Ms. Brandt very much and said she enjoyed living with her and strongly encouraged me to contact Ms. Brandt about the room. Ms. Von Watteville also explained to me that the apartment was clean, pretty, and assured me that Paulette Brandt was an excellent roommate and friend.
5. I contacted Ms. Brandt, visited the apartment, rented the room, and have lived here for over a year now. We get along extremely well. The apartment is well kept and very pretty. I have my own room and enjoy my privacy.
6. At some point, after I moved in, Paulette Brandt and I discussed the fact that Karina Von Watteville owes her rent for the 14 months she lived here. I spoke to Ms. Watteville who personally informed me that she felt bad about the situation. Both individuals advised me that Karvina Von Watteville promised to pay Ms. Brandt in full when she received her social security check. At some point in or around June 2014, Karina Von Watteville advised me that she had received her social security check.
7. Paulette Brandt sent Ms. Watteville a rent demand letter. At that point, Karina Von Watteville began slandering Paulette Brandt and seemed obsessed with a friend of ours, Kelley Lynch. I have known Kelley Lynch for over a year and she is a very nice, courteous, and respectful individual. Karina Von Watteville does not know Ms. Lynch but became increasingly upset with her over Paulette Brandt’s rent demands.
8. In or around November 2014, Paulette Brandt filed a Small Claims Complaint against Karina Von Watteville asking that she pay her the rental arrears due and owing. I personally served Karina Von Watteville the Small Claims Complaint. She was extremely angry but did confirm that she had an agreement to pay Paulette $500/month rent and $50/month utilities.
9. In or around June 2014, Karina Von Watteville was living in a commercial space she rented under the name of Cover Girl Models. She lived in the space with her cats. I visited on one occasion and was shocked to note that garbage and trash was piled around the room and the cats were using the entire space as their kitty litter box.
10. Karina Von Watteville evidently permitted her cats to use her room at Paulette Brandt’s apartment as a kitty litter box as well. She informed me that, after receiving the formal two months notice from Ms. Brandt (re. vacating the premises), she retaliated by leaving bags of garbage and trash behind and intentionally permitting her cats to urinate and defecate in the room. She also apparently infested Paulette Brandt’s apartment with cock roaches.
11. I do see Karina Von Watteville from time to time but she no longer speaks to me. I am aware that, after receiving Paulette Brandt’s paperwork, she contacted Leonard Cohen’s lawyer. Kelley Lynch was Cohen’s personal manager, is involved with legal matters related to him, and reported allegations that he committed criminal tax fraud to Internal Revenue Service.
12. Since I have known Kelley Lynch she has informed me that a man by the name of Stephen Gianelli has criminally harassed and stalked her, members of her family, and others. He is now sending Kelley Lynch highly slanderous emails about me and Paulette Brandt. I do not know this individual. It is my understanding that he has offered Karina Von Watteville assistance with the Small Claims matter involving Paulette Brandt. Neither Kelley Lynch nor I are parties to that matter. I am aware that Karina Von Watteville communicated with Robert Kory (Leonard Cohen’s lawyer), and was legally assisted by Stephen Gianelli, because I have seen some of the slanderous and false emails he has sent Ms. Lynch and have had numerous discussions with people who were present at both Small Claims hearings. At those hearings, Karina Von Watteville evidently attempted to use Kelley Lynch’s cease and desist letters to defend herself. This is an excerpt of Stephen Gianelli’s email confirming that he provided Karina Von Watteville with advice and addressing her phone call to Cohen’s lawyer.
EXCERPT OF GIANELLI LETTER SLANDERING PEOPLE, LYING, & ENGAGING IN CRIMINAL WITNESS TAMPERING AND THREATS:
Ms. Von Watteville followed my advice and never even had to get to the other two defenses I specified; she won the hearing with the first issue out of the box: The claim is time barred under CCP § 339 as arising from the breach of an alleged oral contract. Simple and elegant. No credibility issues to resolve. The shortest distance between point “A” and point “B”. Game, set match.
13. I have spent most of my adult life working as a model and actress and am now pursuing a college degree.
I declare under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.
This declaration is executed on this 18th day of April 2015 in Los Angeles, California.
I am once again advising you to cease and desist. You are now attempting to intimidate and threaten me, Paulette Brandt, and Linda Carol. We do not know you. You have relentlessly targeted me, my sons, and others for approximately six straight years now. You definitely seem to be an informal member of Leonard Cohen's legal defense team and argue Phil Spector prosecution theories online. You have worked in tandem targeting me with Michelle Blaine, Susanne Walsh, and others.
Both of my sons advised you to cease and desist and my younger son informed you (and others) that your outrageous and harassing emails made him physically ill. He was quite clear about the issues he was being harassed over: Leonard Cohen, IRS, and Phil Spector.
I do not know Karina Von Watteville, a woman you are now harassing me over. Paulette Brandt assisted her when she was on the verge of homelessness. I am aware that once she received Paulette Brandt's rent demand she became obsessed with me and began slandering me. I addressed this in a handful of cease and desist letters which I have in my possession. Linda Carol confirmed that I properly addressed the information she brought to my attention. I am also aware that Von Watteville's response to the rent demand letter was to contact Leonard Cohen's lawyer, Robert Kory, which I find unconscionable. She then proceeded to scream at both hearings (in the hallway in front of witnesses) about Robert Kory and Leonard Cohen.
Paulette Brandt, Linda Carol, and I do not know you. You are engaged in criminal witness tampering, witness intimidation, stalking, slander, etc. You definitely appear to be moonlighting for numerous parties.
I am advising you not to contact me again. I have been clear with IRS, FBI, and DOJ that I personally believe you belong in prison. You should be prosecuted for your attempts to threaten and intimidate witnesses who have now submitted declarations to the Court in Case No. BC338322.
Your role also appears to involve working as an agent provocateur/infiltrator.
For the record, I do not know Karina Von Watteville and have reported this ongoing harassment to the appropriate authorities.
Kelley Lynch
DECLARATION OF LINDA CAROL
I, LINDA CAROL, declare:
1. I am a citizen of the United States who currently resides in Los Angeles, California. I am Paulette Brandt’s roommate. I am over the age of 18 years.

In contacting Robert Kory with advice about what to do ...
12. I was copied in on Kelley Lynch’s cease and desist letters addressing Ms. Von Watteville’s slanderous comments I (and others) repeated to Ms. Lynch. Karina Von Watteville does not know Kelley Lynch, as I’ve said, and simply began bad mouthing her, told me she planned to have her investigated and get her in trouble, posted a Gold Record Leonard Cohen gave Kelley Lynch (that Von Watteville photographed) on her Google Plus account, and advised me that Ms. Lynch is an alcoholic. Kelley Lynch does not have a substance abuse problem and is most definitely not an alcoholic. These are merely slanderous allegations meant to undermine her credibility. The slander now appears to be retaliation over Paulette Brandt’s attempts to collect the outstanding rent she is owed.
13. I have spent most of my adult life working as a model and actress and am now pursuing a college degree.
I declare under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.
This declaration is executed on this 18th day of April 2015 in Los Angeles, California.

Ms. Brandt,
One downside (of several) to you signing on to Kelley Lynch’s vicious and malicious slander campaign against me (and many others) is that any non-lawyers who you and/or Ms. Lynch and/or Linda Carol are harassing or slandering and find yourselves opposing in litigation of any kind will have technical litigation support from a top Californian trial lawyer of 35 years’ experience who retired at the top of his game in 2013 – for free.
(I billed my time out to paying clients when I was in practice at $600/hour – although I have a lifetime of approximately 10,000 pro bono hours.)
Perhaps the three of you can match my encyclopedic knowledge of civil procedure and ability to think and plan strategically. Many fine, experienced Californian litigators could not. (See, e.g., the last case I tried before retirement http://napavalleyregister.com/
I have tried over 200 jury trials to verdict, conducted 400+ bench trials, scores of preliminary hearings, conducted over a thousand depositions, and have made and opposed several thousand motions in civil and criminal courts all over California.
I am obsessive about finding out the correct, definitive procedural answer and communicating that to the court as succinctly and clearly as possible – no matter how many hours that takes, and whether I am being paid or not.
In any legal matter you and/or Ms. Lynch and/or Linda Carol may initiate or find yourselves otherwise involved in, you will find me supporting the other side at no charge.
No need to thank me. It’s the least I can do after the kindness you have showed me.
Very truly yours,
Stephen R. Gianelli
