The backlash keeps piling up for Aaron Schlossberg, a New York lawyer caught on video last year hurling racist comments at restaurant workers in Manhattan. Last week a former record label client sued Schlossberg, alleging that the lawyer's viral video tirade sullied the business' reputation.
Niche Music Group LLC, a small record label based in Pittsburgh, lodged a complaint accusing Schlossberg in New York state court of legal malpractice and breach of contract. The suit features several references to an incident in May, in which Schlossberg was caught on video berating the manager of a Fresh Kitchen restaurant in Manhattan.
Schlossberg did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
