Roseanne Barr's attorneys say Zimmermans want $750k for tweet

The parents of George Zimmerman want comedienne Roseanne Barr to pay them $750,000 because she posted their address on Twitter, according to federal court records.

The overwhelming majority of their claim - $600,000 - is for emotional harm, according to pleadings filed by Barr's attorneys.

A total of $37,400 is for money Robert and Gladys Zimmerman have already spent, for such as hotel rooms and meals they ate in restaurants because they say they were forced to leave their home and go into hiding after she posted their address on Twitter March 29, 2012.

Barr acknowledges putting the address of their Lake Mary home on the social media site but says she took it down moments later.

Her attorneys contend Zimmerman's parents should collect nothing.

George Zimmerman is the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer acquitted last year of murdering Trayvon Martin, a black 17-year-old.

The Zimmermans filed suit against Barr in March.

George Zimmerman's Parents Seeking $629,000 From Roseanne Barr

The parents of controversial shooter George Zimmerman are seeking more than $629,000 (393,000) in their lawsuit against comic Roseanne Barr.

Robert Zimmerman, Sr. and his wife, Gladys, filed a lawsuit against the funnywoman in March (14) claiming they had been forced to flee their Florida home in 2012 after she allegedly tweeted details of their address.

The posts came at a time of high tension between the African-American community and Florida police, who had not yet arrested the couple's son George Zimmerman for the fatal shooting of black teenager Trayvon Martin.

In new legal documents, obtained by Tmz.com, lawyers for the couple allege the Zimmermans are owed costs for moving out of their property including $6,900 (4,312) for hotels, $22,800 (14,250) for rent and $7,700 (4,812) for laundry.

They are also seeking $600,000 (375,000) for emotional distress.

Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter last year (13) after a jury ruled he had acted in self-defence.

George Zimmerman's Parents — Roseanne Should Pay For Our Dirty Laundry!

Roseanne Should Pay For Our Dirty Laundry! 5/22/2014 12:40 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

EXCLUSIVE

George Zimmerman's parents say Roseanne was so heinous toward them ... she should be forced to pay for their dirty laundry.

Robert and Gladys Zimmerman say they were forced to pay thousands of bucks for laundry and other expenses they would not have incurred had Roseanne not forced them out of their house by tweeting out their address.

The Zimmermans say they could have washed their clothes at home, but ended up spending $7,700 on cleaning their dirty duds and racking up other living expenses.

But the Zimmermans want a lot more. In new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- they want: $6,900 in hotel costs, $22,800 rent and $600,000 for emotional distress

Roseanne filed her own docs ... calling BS ... because the parents sought out public exposure by self-publishing a book about the murder trial.

Plus ... she says their address was already public information -- which anybody could just Google.
