NYC lawyers ordered the daughter of Al Sharpton, who’s suing Manhattan for allegedly debilitating injuries she suffered on a Soho street, not to delete numerous mountain-climbing pics she just posted on Instagram.
“The purpose of this letter is to demand that plaintiff preserve any photographs, documents, communications and any other information, both tangible and electronically stored, potentially relevant to her alleged trip and fall on Dec. 23, 2014,” the legal notice read.
“This demand should be construed broadly to encompass materials related to plaintiff’s health, mobility, activity or physical limitations after the alleged incident.”
Apparently the city’s legal eagles believe those recent snapshots prove that Dominique Sharpton is a shyster for claiming she’s now permanently disabled by the supposedly still painful ankle sprain she received in 2014, and intend to use the incriminating images to get her suit summarily dismissed.
The damning evidence they’ve advised the plaintiff not to destroy or tamper with clearly shows an unhindered, pain-free, and smiling Sharpton on various extreme-hiking excursions this year, including one to the summit of a high peak in Indonesia.
That’s odd, of course, because earlier in May Al Sharpton’s *crippled* daughter alleged in her lawsuit against NYC that she “still suffers and will continue to suffer for some time physical pain and bodily injuries.”
Just one week after filing that civil action in Manhattan’s Supreme Court, though, Dominique Sharpton posted the online photo-essay chronicling her recent climbing feats.
“We hiked UP the mountain, over the clouds … into the SUNRISE,” she boasted, via Twitter and Instagram.
A miraculous recovery, perhaps? Or a clumsy attempt to defraud a municipality?
