Carol Alt, claiming a victory of sorts in a court loss, smiled through her tears Wednesday as she said a judge's decision that her ex-husband owed her no money finally frees her from the most important relationship of her supermodel years.
"I feel vindicated and free. These are tears of joy," said Alt, facing cameras outside U.S. District Court in Manhattan after Judge Colleen McMahon found that the statute of limitations had run out on her rights to $165,000 in shares of a water filtration business.
Alt, a former Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl, said the $1 million lawsuit she brought in 2007 was not an "anger thing" but instead was an effort to bring resolution to a lingering financial tie to former New York Rangers defenseman Ron Greschner, to whom she was married for 18 years until 2001.
