Not Skip to my Lou?
We know that Alston has a bit of a temper, so I say this is 50/50 between a money grab or it actually happening. I thought what happened in the Champagne Room was private, but I guess not.
Here are the details.
The former NBA athlete, 35, who’s originally from Jamaica, Queens, attacked fellow Perfection Gentleman’s Club patron Erick Franceschini, 32, of Milford, Conn., during a knock-down-drag-out free-for-all in July 2010, according to papers recently filed in Queens Supreme Court.
Alston smashed Franceschini with the bottle during a dispute that began in the Woodside, Queens, club and spilled out on the street, said Franceschini’s lawyer, John Rapawy.
Alston — known in his playing days as “Skip to My Lou” because he was fast and light on his feet — “unjustifiably assaulted and [beat]” Franceschini, Rapawy told The Post yesterday.
“My client had 12 staples in his head. He suffered a concussion,” the lawyer said.
Eddie House knew it was best to walk away from any altercation with Alston.
