Beaten Bouncer Sues Wannabe Reality Star

Have you heard of Rashidah Ali? Even if you don't know the wannabe reality star's name from shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta and Basketball Wives, you'll now know her from... slicing up bouncers! Ali was celebrating her birthday at Greenhouse on January 26th, when she left bouncer Joseph Wright with severed nerves and arteries, and a gash on his face needing 50 stitches.

According to the Daily News, Ali (who is a "shoe consultant" and owns a shop in Harlem called Bourgeoisie Shoes) was celebrating when Wright confronted two of her friends for feeling up a bottle waitress. He was taking the drunken revelers out of the VIP area when Ali ran up and clawed him. He told the paper, "I felt her hand reach through and start grabbing at my face. She's clawing over my eye, at my face, and I didn't feel anything at first... Then I realized I felt the blood dripping down my shirt. I was leaking." Ali fled the scene with her entourage while Wright waited for the ambulance.

Wright is now suing for $10 million, and his lawyer Paul Edelstein says, "We think Ali should be on The Real Housewives of Rikers Island" (we would watch that).

    What kind of "woman" attacks a bouncer and digs the hell out of him because he is doing his job? She is no woman at all. The bouncer did not pose any threat at all. I have always hated reality shows and reality stars because of what they stand for: outrageous antics and less human qualities. She should be sued and punished for whatever damage that she inflicted on this poor fellow.

    Props to the nail salon for outfitting her with the titanium tips.

    reality star keeps it real. what's the problem?

  • FU Boy

    This would be another good example of "When keeping it real goes wrong".

  • The Irish Black Rose

    While I know it doesn't make such good television, would it be possible to act like a civilized human being?

    That was such a stupid question, I will flog myself for it, because if she didn't act so outrageously ridiculous she would be forgotten like the waste of oxygen that she really is.

    I think I remember her from "Queen of Jordan."

  • GothamExtremist

    A bouncer that got bitch slapped by a bitch? I say fire his ass.

  • HAD1

    I say sue the hell out of her, she is no lady at all. Why fire him, he was just doing his job.

  • brooklynRick

    Good luck with that lawsuit, anyone care to guess how much she actually has in the bank?

  • It's a long-standing truth: nothing keeps a party going like a good stabbing.

  • rickpaterson

  • Inconcievable de Impublishable

    Female yes, lady no.
