Louise Wightman, the celebrated stripper once known as Princess Cheyenne, testified today in her own defense, telling a jury that she never claimed to be a licensed psychologist when she spent seven years treating children for eating disorders and other serious problems.
Wightman, who is accused of fraud and practicing psychology without a license, described completing 120 credits of academic coursework at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology before withdrawing in 2001 short of receiving a degree. Under questioning by her own attorney, Wightman said that she dropped out of school when a dean whom she did not identify asked about her career as a stripper in Bostons Combat Zone in the 1970s and 80s.
