Charles Oakley’s MSG Lawsuit Tossed Again — But He Says It’s Not Over
Charles Oakley’s lawsuit against MSG was dismissed for the third time, but he vows to continue fighting with an appeal.Summary
Charles Oakley’s lawsuit against Madison Square Garden and Knicks owner James Dolan was dismissed for the third time by U.S. Circuit Judge Richard J. Sullivan, who ruled that no rational jury could find Oakley reasonably feared wrongful physical contact during a 2017 incident. Oakley responded on Instagram with “#ItsNotOver” and “#JuryTrial,” and his attorney, Douglas Wigdor, announced plans to appeal to the Second Circuit, arguing that conflicting accounts require a jury’s decision. MSG declared Oakley’s claims dismissed “in their entirety,” intends to pursue legal action against his attorney for frivolous litigation, and the case has already cost Oakley about $642,000 in legal fees after a winding history of dismissals and revivals since 2017.
