Early on in her husband's trial, Barbara Amiel Black called one TV producer a slut and told others: "'You're all vermin, you make me sick,'" according to one account. "I used to be a journalist and I never door-stepped people."

The Toronto Star also picked up this nugget from Amiel Black's writings:

In Macleans, she wrote that through the glass of the courthouse, the journalists with their gear resembled "the clustered underbellies of insects attempting to crawl up the window panes."

Eeew. Does she feel bugs crawling all over her?
