George Zimmerman's parents seek $629k from Roseanne Barr

The parents of George Zimmerman are seeking nearly $630,000 in their lawsuit against comedienne Roseanne Barr.

Robert Zimmerman, Sr. and his wife, Gladys, filed a lawsuit against the funnywoman in March 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 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 for hotels, $22,800 for rent and $7,700 for laundry.

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

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