Pauly Shoreis facing another lawsuit regarding an alleged assault atThe Comedy Store.
Preschutti, whom the lawsuit states has had business dealings with the club and its management dating back to 1999, visited the club that night to watch other comedians perform, according to the lawsuit. When he left the club to go home, Preschutti alleged two bouncers from the club “ran up, grabbed plaintiff and detained him,” while a server told him he had not yet closed his tab.
The lawsuit alleges that while Prescutti paid his tab outside the club, a bouncer claimed he tried to hit the server and then “threw Plaintiff to the sidewalk, face-down.”
“While Plaintiff was face-down on the sidewalk, various bouncers for the Comedy Store began to hit and kick him for an appreciable amount of time,” the lawsuit alleges. “The bouncer that threw Plaintiff to the ground, while this beating was occurring, yelled ‘this is for Pauly!’ "
A representative for Shore did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment April 4. Shore’s mother Mitzi co-founded The Comedy Store, which her son now owns.
