Rachel Canning Got Drunk And Puked At Home Of Chris Christie Ally, Report Says

Rachel Canning is suing her estranged parents to force them to pay her college tuition, and the man funding her lawsuit is a high-powered millionaire lawyer with close ties to New Jersey’s embattled governor Chris Christie.

According to a news report published Wednesday, that lawyer and his family not only introduced the underage Rachel Canning to alcohol, she once downed so much booze at their house, she vomited all over the sidewalk and into a trash can outside their home.

John Ingelsino happens to be the father of Rachel Canning’s best friend, Jamie Ingelsino. Rachel spent plenty of time at the Ingelsino home throughout her high school years and when she left her own home in November of last year — kicked out by her parents, she claims, while her parents say she left of her own accord — she went to stay with the Ingensinos.

John Ingelsino, who has so far footed a $12,000 bill for legal services in the Rachel Canning tuition lawsuit, also happens to be a friend and former advisor to Chris Christie who made substantial financial contributions to Christie’s 2009 gubernatorial campaign.

In January, the local council president in the town of Parsippany, New Jersey tried to boot Ingelsino out as the municipality’s lawyer, saying the powerhouse attorney had too many conflicts of interest with several other members of the town council.

Ingelsino also been accused of acting as a sort of hatchet man for Chris Christie, recruiting the governor’s political opponents into cushy jobs on the public payroll as long as they agreed to stay out of elections where they may oppose Christie’s hand-picked candidates.

No criminal charges have ever been filed against Ingelsino in connection with those accusations.

On Wednesday, The Mail Online newspaper reported that at Jamie Ingelsino’s 15th birthday party, Amy Ingelsino — John Ingelsino’s wife — freely handed out wine coolers to Rachel Canning as well as to her own daughter.

Also when Rachel Canning was 15, she downed so much vodka while at the Ingelsino home that when her own father, Sean Canning, came to pick her up she got sick all over the sidewalk, according to the Mail report.

Rachel’s mother, Elizabeth Canning, describes her daughter in court documents as now “obsessed” with getting plastered every weekend, though Mrs. Canning says this behavior began when Rachel began dating her current boyfriend, Lucas Kitzmiller, a high school football player.

Kitzmiller’s father dismissed that allegation saying that with Rachel Canning, “the trend is with every boyfriend she’s had it’s always the boyfriend who’s the bad influence. We’ve been dragged into this.”
