"Lizzie" Grubman (born January 30, 1971) is an American publicist. She is the daughter of multi-millionaire entertainment lawyer, Allen Grubman, and his wife, the late Yvette Grubman. She has one sibling, a younger sister, Jennifer.
Grubman was well-known as a publicist and "fixer" for celebrities, sharing much of the well-known strong personality of her father. The 2005 reality show PoweR Girls from MTV centered around a group of young publicists, working for Grubman's PR firm. The title is a reference to a 1998 cover story in New York magazine, that profiled Grubman and several of her rivals, noting that "Lizzie was clearly the most powerful girl of all."
On July 17, 2001, Grubman drove her SUV into a crowd of people outside a Long Island nightclub, injuring 16 people. Angered at being asked by security guards to remove her father's leased Mercedes from a fire lane, she backed the vehicle into the crowd and was later charged in a 26-count indictment, for felony crimes including assault, driving while intoxicated, and reckless endangerment. Grubman had been facing up to eight years in prison, but only served 37 days in jail and received 5 year's probation after reaching a plea bargain.
She is married to Chris Stern and gave birth to their first child, a son named Harry, on December 12, 2006. Her mother, Yvette, who had been suffering from multiple sclerosis for many years, died of ovarian cancer.
