Career

Grubman is well known as a publicist and manager. She founded her own company in 1996, and has represented Britney Spears, Jay-Z, and the Backstreet Boys.

The 2005 reality show PoweR Girls on MTV centered on a group of young publicists working for Grubman's PR firm. The title is a reference to a 1998 cover story in New York magazine that profiled Grubman and several of her rivals, noting that "Lizzie was clearly the most powerful girl of all.". In 2007, Lizzie Grubman started Lizzie Grubman Management. She currently manages Lil' Kim and Kylie Bisutti, to name a couple.




Personal life

Grubman attended four high schools, including the New York City prep schools Horace Mann, Lenox, and Dwight. She briefly attended Northeastern University, but dropped out before completing her sophomore year.

In 1995, she married Eric Gatoff, an associate at her father's law firm. The pair subsequently divorced in 1997.

2001 incident with an SUV

On July 7, 2001, after being asked by security guards to remove her Mercedes from a fire lane, Grubman intentionally drove her father´s Mercedes Benz SUV into a crowd of people outside of the Conscience Point Inn at 1976 North Sea Road in the Hamptons, injuring 16 people. Grubman was later charged in a 26-count indictment with felony crimes including second-degree assault, driving while intoxicated, and reckless endangerment.

The subsequent trial garnered widespread media coverage, not only because of the particular circumstances of the crash, but because of what Richard Johnson, editor of the New York Post's Page Six, referred to as "the overreaching drama of class warfare." Grubman was alleged to have made an inflammatory statement before striking her victims with her vehicle: "F*** you, white trash." Later, allegations arose that she received "special treatment" at the hands of police, who did not perform a Breathalyzer test despite allegations, and later, criminal charges, that she was intoxicated at the time of the incident.

Grubman has said that the SUV incident was an accident.

In the criminal trial, Grubman faced up to eight years in prison, but served only thirty-eight days in jail and received five years' probation after reaching a plea bargain for leaving the scene of a car accident.

2006 marriage

Grubman married Chris Stern, the ex-husband of one of her then-employees on March 17, 2006, and gave birth to their first child, a son named Harrison Irving Stern, on December 12, 2006. On January 22, 2009, Grubman gave birth to son Jack Alexander Stern, two months before his scheduled due date.
