Supermodel Maggie Rizer has filed a $24 million lawsuit against her stepfather, claiming the gambler and drinker has wasted away her fortune.

Maggie Rizer’s stepdad, John Breen, was given power of attorney over her bank accounts. That’s where things went wrong.

"Breen was spiraling downward as an alcohol abuser and gambler who stooped to stealing from his own family to cover his losses," Maggie Rizer's lawyer Ed Hayes wrote in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also claims that Breen wrote 250 fraudulent checks to himself and skimmed at least $3.5 million for his gambling binges.

It’s not his first run-in with the law; he’s now serving time in prison for grand larceny, fraud and forgery charges.

The suit also implicates local bars that plied him with alcohol.
