A Manhattan dental practice has dropped a suit against mommy blogger Lyss Stern after the Daily News reported the "play for pay" story Oct. 25.
Lowenberg & Lituchy, according to the suit, alleged that Stern agreed to run a four-page "puff piece" touting its "achievements and advancements" in the New York Observer "Playground" advertising supplement, which she edits, in return for dropping her nearly $45K dental bill that was wracked up last October and November.
The Central Park South dentists sued after the piece didn't run in December as expected. Michael Laufer, a lawyer for L&L, which bills itself as the dentists to "models" and "rock stars," told the Daily News today that the legal matter is now closed.
Lyss is founder of the Divalysscious Moms blog. The site says it was "born to bridge the gap between a glam, pre-baby lifestyle and a post-baby life where, well, let's just say there are more midnight feedings than midnight soirées."
