Actress La Rivers Suing New York Lounge Manager Over Alleged Assault

The Dirty Laundry star is suing Edward Moffett, claiming he attacked her and called her obscene expletives while she waited for a cab outside Beautique lounge in June (15). Rivers alleges she suffered a broken nose, concussion and a black eye after she was knocked to the ground face first.

“I went to Beautique thinking that it was the perfect place to end our fantastic evening, showing my father a nice time at a luxurious and chic place surrounded by the beauty of midtown Manhattan,” she said outside court on Wednesday (01Jun16). “Instead, it turned out to be a living nightmare.”

Rivers is seeking unspecified damages alleging battery, assault, and negligence.

“The assault impaired Ms. River’s ability to work as an actress because her work depends on her appearance and presentation for her livelihood,” the lawsuit reads.

Meanwhile, Moffett is also reportedly facing criminal charges of assault and harassment over the alleged incident, according to the New York Post’s Page Six column.
