Al Sharpton’s Daughter Wins Settlement After Suing City Over Ankle Injury

The daughter of huckster and professional grievance monger Al Sharpton has made bank after winning a settlement from the city of New York over a controversial lawsuit about her sprained ankle.

Christmas came early For Dominique Sharpton who raked in $95,000 for what appears to have been a scam of a $5 million suit that was filed three years ago. The eldest daughter of Reverend Al claims that she injured the ankle on “cracked pavement” but not so severely that it prevented her from hiking while on a trip to Indonesia.

It has all of the appearances of a trademark Sharpton shakedown and that city must have decided that it was better to cough up the coin than have to deal with the ugly spectacle of a series of racial protests that may have depleted some of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s political clout with voters of color while he still is a dark horse candidate for the 2020 Democratic party nomination.

Via The New York Post, “Al Sharpton’s daughter gets $95K settlement for sprained ankle”:

Dominique Sharpton, daughter of shakedown artist Al Sharpton, scored a $95,000 settlement from the city over a sprained ankle — even though she had posted snaps of herself on social media climbing a mountain in Bali and strutting around in high heels just seven months after the fall.

It took nearly four years, but de Blasio administration lawyers finally threw in the towel in the case.

“After a thorough evaluation, we determined that settling this case was in the best interest of the city,” said a spokesman for the city Law Department.

The 32-year-old Brooklyn resident, who is the eldest daughter of the activist and TV host, sued the city in April 2015 for $5 million after “severely” injuring her right leg on cracked pavement crossing Broadway at Broome Street in 2014.

“I sprained my ankle real bad lol,” she wrote in an Instagram post after the Oct. 2, 2014, stumble.

Her suit said she was in “permanent physical pain,” but the fall didn’t stop her from wearing high heels, mounting a ladder to decorate a Christmas tree and even hiking for two hours up a mountain during a girls getaway to Indonesia in May 2016.

She posted snaps of herself performing the feats on social media.

She’s laughing all the way to the bank now.
