Tawny Kitaen Sues Ex Over Missing Money

From the steamy temptress in the Whitesnake video to a woeful stint on "The Surreal Life," Tawny Kitaen’s life has taken quite a turn. And it continues to get worse, with TMZ revealing that an ex-boyfriend of hers may have stole millions from her.

According to a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, Kitaen hired a forensic handwriting expert to analyze her financial and real estate records when she became suspicious of her ex Philip Cyburt — and Tawny claims the analysis proved what she had been thinking all along; "a betrayal of the most personal in nature."

In the suit, Kitaen claims "she never imagined this seemingly honest and caring man would slither into her life only to rob her of over three million dollars during the course of their four-year relationship."

Tawny also claims that Cyburt, a loaded real estate executive, sold properties she owned in West Hollywood, Newport Beach and Los Angeles and routed the profits into his personal accounts. Kitaen also claims that he then repurchased the real estate at a higher price with her cash.

Not that we don’t believe her, but some might say she could have more luck looking somewhere else for the missing money…like up her nose.
