Woman Sues Anderson Cooper After Allegedly Taking a Spill

Anderson Cooper is facing a lawsuit from an interior designer who claims she took an unusual spill at the site of the CNN anchor's new home in NYC.

Killian O'Brien alleges that last September she plummeted 17 feet down a hole in the old fire station that Cooper is converting into his new home, says the Associated Press. The fire pole that once jutted from the hole had been removed, but the hole purportedly remained uncovered.

O'Brien is also suing the developer of the building, and her lawyer claims she's lucky to have survived. Cooper's rep declined to comment.
