The insurance company sued O'Neal for the money, accusing the actress of allegedly causing the fire because of her "carelessness, recklessness and negligence." But the court papers do not explain what O'Neal is specifically accused of doing, the Post said.
O'Neal's manager would not comment to the newspaper.
