An Inclusive Litany
5/30/98
61-year-old Roberta Bernardo sued her 10-year common-law husband,
70-year-old construction executive Francis Bernardo, for $2 million
claiming the impotence drug Viagra led to his infidelity, thus ending
their relationship. After the couple enjoyed the first sex they had in
years, Bernardo allegedly left a note saying the relationship was over
and boasting of his renewed sexual vigor just before leaving their
luxury condominium with a bottle of Viagra he'd had for two days.
Roberta's attorney said she might file a negligence suit against
Pfizer, which manufactures Viagra, for failure to warn the drug could
be hazardous to marriages.
