Caitlyn Jenner
sued by family
in traffic crash
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A
family who suffered serious
injuries in a fatal traffic col- nitely used his art prowess
lision involving Caitlyn Jen-
ner earlier this year sued
the Olympic gold medalist
this weekend.
The Wolf-Milesi family of
Malibu sued Jenner in Los
Angeles Superior Court for
negligence in the Febru-
ary crash, which killed one
woman after Jenner rear-
ended her car and pushed
it into oncoming traffic on
the Pacific Coast Highway.
A sport utility vehicle driven
by Peter Wolf-Milesi family
struck a car driven by Kim
Howe, killing her. The law-
suit states the four mem-
bers of the Wolf-Milesi fam-
ily and another occupant
of their vehicle sustained
serious injuries in the crash.
Peter Wolf-Milesi suffered
serious wrist injuries and his
one-month old son was
unresponsive after the ac-
cident, according to the
lawsuit. Wolf-Milesi’s wife
also sustained blunt-force
injuries and requires on-
going treatment, the suit
states.
“The emotional effects of
being involved in a col-
lision that has taken the
life of another has caused
tremendous distress and
suffering for the Wolf-Milesi
family,” the suit states.
Jenner’s publicist Alan Ni-
erob declined comment
Friday.
Sheriff’s investigators de-
termined Jenner was trav-
eling at an unsafe speed
for the traffic conditions.
Prosecutors declined to
file a vehicular manslaugh-
ter charge against the
66-year-old Jenner, who
was born as Bruce Jenner.
The accident occurred
before Jenner announced
she is transgender and
transitioned into her new
identity as Caitlyn.
After the accident, Jenner
released a statement ex-
pressing sympathy to those
involved in the accident.
“It is a devastating trag-
edy,” the statement read.
“I cannot pretend to imag-
ine what this family is going
through at this time. I am
praying for them.”q
Alicia Keys performs at Swizz Beatz’s art collection

MIAMI (AP) — Powerhouse
producer Swizz Beatz defi-
to help wife Alicia Keys fall
in love with him. Now he’s
bringing that same dis-
cerning eye to the public
with a carefully curated
collection showing at Art
Basel Miami Beach.
“(Art is) some of the real
strong foundation of our
relationship,” Keys said in
an exclusive interview with
The Associated Press. “At
the beginning, he decided
to teach me about people
that I had no idea about. ...
The first artist he taught me
about was Erte ... and he
was like, ‘You don’t know
who Erte is,’” she said with
mock condescension. “He
gets a real kick, I think, out also allowed Beatz to work
of introducing people to
artists that he knows they’ll
love.”
Beatz, whose real name
is Kasseem Dean, said he
used to choose art based
on status, but eventually
found greater pleasure dis-
covering up-and-comers,
“artists that I can speak
to, that we can have din-
ner with at our home, art-
ists that our children can
meet.”
“He has such a passion for
art and has even given
me a passion for art,” said
Keys, who cuddled close
beside her man during the
interview.
The couple feels so strongly
about giving struggling art-
ists — from musicians to
painters — a platform that
they decided to let the art-
ists keep 100 percent of
their commissions from the
show.
