LOS ANGELES—Casey Johnson, heiress to the Johnson & Johnson bundles, was arrested Nov. 30 in Los Angeles for grand theft—though what makes the story interesting to AVN is not what she she's accused of taking but what she allegedly left behind.
The New York Post got the inside scoop from the victim of the theft: Johnson’s erstwhile BFF, Jasmine Lennard, a former contestant on Britain’s Make Me a Supermodel, said that she returned to her Hollywood home after a long absence to discover that jewelry, shoes, clothing and 600 pages from a legal document were missing—and the thief had left behind a used vibrator in her bed and a wet towel on the floor.
After Lennard heard from a mutual friend—Courtenay Semel, daughter of Yahoo’s Terry Semel and Johnson’s on-again, off-again girlfriend—that Johnson was in possession of the items, she called the police, who arrested Johnson and took her to a Van Nuys jail before releasing her on a $20,000 bond. (RadarOnline.com has the dimly lit video in question.)
Johnson, 30, is the great-granddaughter of the company’s founder; her father, Robert Wood “Woody” Johnson IV, is the owner of the New York Jets.
AVN has fruitlessly scoured news reports for clues on the make and model of said vibrator. Nor is there word on whether the heiress also discarded a tube of K-Y, one of Johnson & Johnson’s most familiar brands.
Lennard told the Post that she had been trying to help the troubled baby-powder scion get her life together. "I am the only person who helped this girl, and I believe she was obsessed with me, and thinks in her mind we had some kind of affair. That is not the case."
But now, Lennard’s taking the gloves off. "This time she really messed with the wrong lady. I am going to teach her a lesson," Lennard vowed.
We wonder what set her off more: the used vibe under the sheets or the wet towel on the floor. Personally, we hate towel tossers.
Part of that lesson so far involved another interview with the New York Post in which Lennard details Johnson’s failings as a friend, daughter and mother: "Casey basically needs to go into rehab for a long time. She has walked out [of treatment programs] twice against her parents' wishes, so they told her no more money.”
Perhaps Johnson’s next step should be to follow the advice of blogger Azaria Jagger, who posted on this Gawker: “I now renew my respectful request for Casey to sell the rights to her life to made-for-TV production company, and add that Katherine Moennig would make a great Jasmine.”
We’d agree—though if Moennig is busy, her L Word costar Rachel Shelley, who played Helena, has the edge on portraying train-wreck heiresses.
