How did Jonquil’s parents meet?

After Jackie and her first husband divorced she met David at a party and even though it “took a while to fall in love with him” she said it “felt good to be so adored.”. They married in a Jewish ceremony in 2000. They have eight children together, including one adopted daughter, Jonquil, and one daughter from a previous relationship, Victoria. Her sister, Victoria, died of a drug overdose at age 18 in June 2015. Jackie and David have both dedicated time and resources to addiction awareness since Victoria’s death.

The Queen of Versailles

The Queen of Versailles is a 2012 American documentary film by Lauren Greenfield. The film shows Jackie Siegel and David Siegel, owners of Westgate Resorts, and their family as they attempt to build the Versailles house, the largest and most expensive single-family house in the United States, and the crisis they face as the U.S. economy declines.

The film also shows Jonquil Siegel’s father, Siegel trying and failing to retain ownership of Westgate’s Las Vegas high-rise resort, the PH Towers Westgate. Siegel’s son and senior Westgate executive, Richard, is quoted as saying that David Siegel’s determination not to lose the Ph Tower was a major source of the company’s financial troubles in 2009–11. On November 22, 2011, a controlling interest in the property was sold to Resort Finance America LLC.

On January 10, 2012, David Siegel and Westgate Resorts, Ltd filed a lawsuit in Florida against the Sundance Institute and the filmmakers of The Queen of Versailles, claiming that Sundance’s published film description was defamatory. On January 23, 2013, the United States District Court Judge Conway of the Middle District of Florida ordered a stay of the lawsuit pending arbitration. In her order, Judge Conway called the testimony previously offered by Siegel during court hearings “inconsistent and incredible and thus lacking weight”.

The matter was subsequently heard before an arbitrator for the Independent Film & Television Alliance (IFTA) in June 2013. On March 13, 2014, the arbitrator awarded in favor of the filmmakers, Lauren Greenfield and Frank Evers, including an order that David Siegel and Westgate Resort pay $750,000 to the filmmakers.

The arbitrator wrote in the award, “Having viewed the supposedly egregious portions of the Motion Picture numerous times, [the Arbitrator] simply does not find that any of the content of the Motion Picture was false.” The arbitrator also wrote that Westgate had failed to show how it was damaged by the documentary. Finally, the arbitrator wrote that Westgate “did not remotely establish the type of malice required for a defamation claim on behalf of a public figure.”

A second lawsuit filed by David Siegel (and Jackie Siegel) in February 2013, against the filmmakers of The Queen of Versailles, was subsequently heard by Greg Derin of the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles. On February 28, 2014, Derin ruled that the filmmakers’ agreement with the family, pertaining to certain life rights, was “invalid and unenforceable”. The Siegels’ attempt to sue for $5 million in damages was also dismissed by Derin.
