Zimmermans want $750,000 from Roseanne Barr 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 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.

Comedienne posted couple's address on Twitter in 2012

ORLANDO, Fla. -

Attorneys for comedienne Roseanne Barr say George Zimmerman's parents want her to pay them over $600,000.

Robert Zimmerman and Gladys Zimmerman filed a lawsuit against Barr earlier this year. They're looking for compensation for a 2012 tweet Barr posted that included the address of their Lake Mary home.

In newly filed court documents, Barr's attorneys say the Zimmermans are asking for $37,400 to cover things like hotel and meal costs. The couple says they were forced to leave their home and go into hiding after the post to the social media site. The Zimmermans are also reportedly asking for $600,000 for emotional damages.

Attorneys for Barr say the comedienne shouldn't have to pay the Zimmerman's anything since the couple's address is already public record. Barr also deleted the post shortly after it was made.

George Zimmerman was found not guilty last year of murdering Trayvon Martin in Sanford.
