Boy, I tell you what – New York Knicks center Eddy Curry can’t seem to catch a break; according to the Associated Press, a man who used to work for Curry as his driver is now suing him for monies due him, sexual harassment and raining racial slurs on him. In the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in New York on Monday, David Kuchinsky (the driver of record) alleges that Curry owes him $98,000 in back pay and expenses and is also seeking $5 million in compensatory damages.
He also accuses Curry of – get this – exposing himself and harassing him and also said that Curry referred to his Jewish heritage in a derogatory way, using unmentionable names. As expected, Curry characterized the accusation as a money grab by this former employee, who worked for Curry for 3 years, ending this past October. I seriously doubt that any of this happened; these frivolous lawsuits are commonplace in professional athletics, and I expect this one, like so many that are filed annually, to be dropped.
