‘Hypocrisy’ of Huguette Clark’s distant relatives

Some of the lawyers familiar with the sad case of copper heiress Huguette Clark are amazed at the hypocrisy of her distant relatives, who are suing Beth Israel Hospital.

According to a source, though these cousins never met Clark before she died two years ago at age 104 — and never made any attempt to visit her — they now accuse the hospital of keeping her “sequestered from the world” so administrators could soak her for fees and donations.

“Where were they for 20 years while she was alone in the hospital?” asked one insider.

“All of a sudden when she died, they discovered their love for her. Their hypocrisy is galling.”
