In March 2025, Christopher Ambrose, a disgraced television writer fired for plagiarism and a suspended attorney from Madison, Connecticut, filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Bandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist.
Dr. Lee had publicly assessed him as displaying psychopathic traits dangerous to his children. Ambrose says that the assessment destroyed his reputation. Lee says she was doing her job.
To file the lawsuit, Ambrose needed $405.
He swore he didn’t have it.
Federal law allows litigants to sue without paying court fees — if they can demonstrate financial hardship. To qualify, applicants must disclose their finances under oath. A false affidavit requires dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(A) and can trigger a referral for perjury.
Ambrose submitted his affidavit on March 16, 2025. He reported zero income, $294.98 in cash, and no stocks, bonds, or assets of meaningful value. He described himself as unemployed for three years, supporting his children by draining a modest retirement account already depleted by divorce.
Among the expenses Ambrose listed was his monthly rent: $2,450.
Ambrose lives at 153 Middle Beach Road in Madison, Connecticut — a four-bedroom waterfront property overlooking the Fence Creek Estuary, directly across from East Wharf Beach Park. Real estate records estimate the property’s market value at $2.2 million.
His signed lease confirms he has been paying $3,750 per month since September 2024. The discrepancy between what he pays and what he swore in his affidavit is $1,300 per month.
When Bandy Lee filed a motion to dismiss based on the fraudulent affidavit, Ambrose filed an 18-page opposition.
If it weren’t a serious lawsuit, it would be comedy gold.
Here is what he wrote to explain that he told the judge he paid $2450 when he really paid $3750:
“A technical confusion between gross and net rental obligations — specifically, a calculation error regarding the base contractual rent versus the net effective out-of-pocket cost.”
Let’s examine it word by word.
“A technical confusion.”
Technical implies complexity requiring expertise to navigate. There is really nothing terribly technical about rent. The lease says $3,750. That is the only number to get confused about.
“Between gross and net rental obligations.”
Gross and net do not exist in residential rent. Gross means before deductions. Net means after deductions. Nobody withholds anything from your rent payment on its way to the landlord.
“A calculation error.”
What calculation? $3,750 is the rent. You either write it down honestly or you lie.
“Regarding the base contractual rent.”
The base contractual rent is $3,750. It says so in the lease he signed.
“Versus the net effective out-of-pocket cost.”
This phrase does not exist in residential leasing. It exists in commercial real estate, where tenants sometimes pay base rent, taxes, and maintenance separately. In his residential lease, he pays a single amount: $3,750.
To Ambrose, lying on a federal form isn’t the same as lying in the Bible. It’s just numbers. Numbers the judge never checks.
Perhaps the motive is obvious: a man who cannot afford $405 cannot easily explain why he pays $3,750 a month to live in a $2.2 million beachfront home.
His daughter Mia, in a sworn declaration filed with the court, states the $2,450 figure was the rent at his previous address, 381 Horsepond Road where he lived a year before he moved on up to the beachfront
He had a cheaper place before. Ambrose put that number down instead of the real one since it sounds better.
The man suing a psychiatrist for calling him a pathological liar offered some lies to explain away his lying about the rent. They were not the only lies on the affidavit, but due to a technical confusion between gross and net lies — specifically, a calculation error regarding the base truth versus the net effective out-of-pocket consequences — he may find that the net effective outcome is a dismissed lawsuit and a criminal lawyer. He probably never expected the judge to read the lease. She can read. And she can refer him for prosecution. Perjury is a crime in Connecticut and in federal court.

The wasband committed mortgage fraud during the divorce process. In the state of Connecticut.These little minor mathematical mishaps . Connecticut rewards these types of things. No one is going to address it. The court system is looking to go after anyone complaining. Some justified and some not so much.
🤣 he’s a clown with no shame. Sounds like dementia is coming soon
He lies when he “has” to lie – to evade consequences, and he lies for pleasure and sport. He lies all the time and we’ve said it nearly our entire lives. He is a dangerous liar.
Little pissy Chrissy is a selfish little piggy….Hey dicksmack, have you ever done anything positive for anyone? Scumbag
Ambrose needs to be locked up! More and more lies hes telling digging himself his own grave. 😂
[…] for prosecution. This piece is “Albino Abuser Ambrose Lies,” first available on FrankReport.com. Frank […]
He filed the fee waiver because he wanted the court to determine he was “indigent”. Then, with court confirming he was broke, he would waive that around as “evidence” to prove he once had millions and only after Parlato, Lee and Swithin defamed him, did his finances plummet and he’s been left destitute.
For Ambrose it’s the same pattern— he creates a fictional narrative, manufactures evidence by manipulating third parties with his lies, and then uses those outcomes as evidence to move his diabolical story to the next phase.
Indeed he is a disturbed creative, but once judge Nagala denied dealing of his fee waiver Ambrose knew it was over- and that’s why he did not file a fee waiver in the Parlato and Swithin cases.
😂😂😂 Love that Ambrose “offered some lies” – as he always does!
So Ambrose chose to compound his original violations and perjury by perjuring himself further.
Ahhh, signs of the psychopath that he is.
Judge Nagala is not going to taint her reputation for this depraved liar. Not a chance. Sanctions and dismissal await Ambrose.
Love the assessment of utter bullshit! 😂😂😂
Chris Ambrose attended Wethersfield high. He had a friendless existence and a large curly fro. He entered a world of make believe where he was a hero, a tough guy- a villain. He wrote stories of fantasy then and manufactures the same fantasy world today. He must bear near 65 today and I’ve heard he lost his writing career based on plagiarism- another form of the familiar lies that hide the truth from the public. He’s a sad man without a soul and has wasted all the money and opportunity his parents worked hard to provide for him. His brothers, Colin and Neal Ambrose are both very successful in their chosen friends but unlike Chris, both brothers were social, had friends, and were excellent athletes. It was believed that Chris was a closeted homosexual due to the strong Catholic beliefs held by his nuclear family. He’s had plenty of time to get healthy but chooses this lifestyle of manufactured reality and does so without shame or guilt.
That sounds like him…
If perjury is indeed a crime in CT then why is it never prosecuted in CT family court?
Ambrose forgets he’s not in family court anymore- where it’s the “wild west” and anything goes as long as you have the money to buy and perpetuate the lie.
In the Wild West, you had a chance to defend yourself as long as you showed up for the fight. Connecticut family courts are pay to play cess pools operating in the dark.
He’s proving Dr Lee’s case. And playing Judge Nagala for fool.
The stated monthly rent charged for a home on beachfront property is $1.00 a month. Ocean views, sandy beach, just a great location. What’s the net effective out-of-pocket cost for that home on beachfront property with ocean views, a sandy beach and that stated monthly rent of $1.00?
Chris will like Connecticut prison. Lots of Latin Boys

It’s highly unlikely Chris will do any time for his questionable math skills . Small Ball as Lamont calls it . Bigger fish to fry. The Connecticut insider as labeled the family court circus debunked. The judgement for 18 counts of cyber stacking. The blog targeted judges for their court rulings and the sexuality and religion were side notes. The threats over powered the real sealed court paperwork. Paul Boyne fixated on the judges and court players . While most do not condone the speech Mr. Boyne engaged in . Most supported the case exposers. Your buddy in Costa Rica will suffer the same fate as Paul. For that most will not be sorry.
I’m confused. Wouldn’t listing the higher rent make his case more convincing for the fee waiver, not less?
anyone could finagle it that way to make up any kind of story.
