I promise... mess like this, makes you want to keep the goodies to ya'self for the rest of your life. According to The New York Post, NBA baller, and New York Knicks center Eddy Curry is being sued by his limo driver for making sexual advances towards him. The suit comes as an absolute shock to Curry I'm sure. But it makes me question this driver. How long did you endure this before you said something? And... how were you blowing this off and just rollin with it as a "straight" man? Anyways, the sexual harrassment suit was filed on Monday in a Manhattan Federal Court by David Kuchinsky, who is now Curry's former limo driver. I feel sorry for Curry's family. He has a wife and three children!!! What the hell???
Kuchinsky says that he was approched time and again by Curry "in the nude", and he supposedly would say stuff like, "Look at me, Dave, look" and "Come and touch it, Dave."
Curry also made Kuchinsky perform "humiliating tasks aside from his normal duty as being the driver. He would have Curry cleaning up towels that he had soiled with his... well... baby juice is what I'll call it, just so his wife wouldn't find out.
Kuchinsky, who is straight and Jewish, also alleges racial discrimination, saying that Curry hurled slurs at him including "f---ing Jew," "cracker," "white slave," "white devil" and "grandmaster of the KKK." And in a disturbing episode reminiscent of some of the evidence in the manslaughter case against former Nets star Jayson Williams, Kuchinsky further claims in his suit that Curry pointed a "fully loaded" gun at him on at least two separate occasions to keep him from complaining about his treatment.
"Look, I have one in the chamber," Curry allegedly said. Kuchinsky, who worked for Curry from October 2005 through October 2008, says he was initially hired as an around-the-clock chauffeur for Curry and his family at their Burr Ridge, Ill., mansion. But shortly after starting work, he soon found his duties fell well outside his job description and "progressively became Curry's "house-boy,'" his suit says. He is seeking $98,000 plus compensatory damages from the injured Knick, whose contract pays him $9.4 million this year. Kuchinsky says he is owed $68,000 in unpaid wages, as well as $25,000 in expenses for which Curry never repaid him.
"Instead of paying him, they discriminated against him, figuring that it would keep him there," said Kuchinsky's lawyer, Matthew Blit. "Imagine going into your boss's office ... and he stands up and drops his pants and he asks you take care of him. Those actions are unacceptable whether it's in a corporate office or a private home."
Curry, who has played just 2 minutes, 38 seconds this season because of knee injuries, declined to comment late Monday in New Orleans, where he was expected to sit out the Knicks' game against the Hornets. His lawyer, Kelly Saindon, denied all of Kuchinsky's allegations, calling them "absolutely untrue," and saying he began making a series of claims for unpaid wages several months ago, upping the ante each time. Saindon said Curry took a chance on hiring Kuchinsky despite a criminal record that includes a three-year prison sentence for a 1992 burglary in New Jersey. He also got three years' probation in a 2004 resisting-arrest case in the Garden State, records show.
"It's shocking that Eddy opened his home to a convicted felon out of prison, and gave him a job when he couldn't find a job, and this is what comes out of it," she said. "The entire thing is preposterous." Kuchinsky's lawyer conceded his client's "troubled past," but said that was all behind him. Yeah right. You put up with this crap for 3 years dude... something else is behind this suit!! I just feel it!
