A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge rejected a claim by five orphans saying the producers of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” owed them a place to live, the Los Angeles Times reported today.
The article said the dispute revolved around an Easter 2005 episode of “Makeover” in which the home of Phil and Loki Leomiti was remodeled after they took in the five Higgins siblings: Charles II, Michael, Charis, Joshua and Jeremiah.
Afterwards, the relationship between the Leomitis and the children became strained, and the Higgins siblings moved out.
The Higgins siblings hired a lawyer to sue several entities, including ABC and the Walt Disney Co., for “fraud, breach of contract and infliction of emotional distress.”
The siblings are planning to appeal, according to the Times article.
