Please tell me that this is NOT a word - lawsuited [View all]

I was listening to the Chicago area progressive radio station in my car this afternoon, and twice heard the gust during the 3 o'clock hour say "lawsuited" when speaking about someone who had sued someone else.

The second time I heard it, I was yelling at the radio, "Lawsuit is a noun! It doesn't have a past tense!"
