She filed the law suit on her own, without counsel, and with her tongue in her cheek. She seems well aware that her claims for damages are not reasonable and chose the figure in honour of Judge Roy Pearson (the dry cleaner pants guy):
She also had reached the limit of her patience. In November, she filed her $54 million lawsuit against Best Buy -- by herself, without legal representation.
The amount intentionally echoes another lawsuit that made headlines last year -- a case involving a D.C. judge who sued a dry cleaner for $54 million over a lost pair of pants. That case was eventually dismissed.
Campbell freely admits she picked the same amount in an effort to attract media attention.
