“RHOA” Star Angela Oakley’s Husband, NBA Veteran Charles Oakley, Ordered To Pay $642K In Legal Fees To Madison Square Garden Following Viral 2017 Arena Ejection
#RHOA Star #AngelaOakley’s hubby will have to hand over a pretty penny to #MadisonSquareGarden (MSG).
Former NBA forward #CharlesOakley has been ordered to pay more than $642,000 in legal #MSG, stemming from the fallout of his ejection from a 2017 game. The fee award stems largely from a court determination that Charles failed to preserve five years’ worth of text messages, which were crucial to his civil suit accusing MSG and owner #JamesDolan of a$$ault, battery and defamation.
The incident in question occurred on February 8, 2017, when Charles was removed from his courtside seat at MSG during a game between the #NewYorkKnicks and the #LosAngelesClippers. He was seen arguing with arena security and was handcuffed and escorted out by several security guards. He was later charged with misdemeanor a$$ault and criminal trespassing.
Charles maintained that he “never said a word to Dolan” and was “minding his own business when…security asked why I was sitting so close to Dolan.” Charles’ legal team plans to appeal the ruling.
