Pauly Shore and The Comedy Store are being sued once again.
Pauly Shore and The Comedy Store are back in the news as the comedian and his club get sued for assault and battery by fellow comedian Eliot Preschutti. Earlier this year, The Wrap reported a lawsuit was filed by Sean Kehoe and his daughter Kirra Lyn Potts, who accused Shore of assault and battery after an incident at The Comedy Store , which is owned by Shore's family, in November of 2022. Preschutti's lawsuit comes from an incident that allegedly took place in December of 2023.
According to the latest update from The Warp, Preschutti claims Shore's bouncers beat him up while he was visiting the club on December 15th. The filing says that the incident occurred after Preschutti left the West Hollywood location of The Comedy Store without paying his tab. The server and bouncers alerted him to the fact that they still had his debit card, and Preschutti returned to settle his tab.
The suit also claims that the bouncer shouted,"This is for Pauly," during the beating and that the assault was so bad, it led to Preschutti soiling himself. The bouncers then called L.A. County Sheriffs, who detained Preschutti until 8 AM the next morning. Preschutti later went to Cedars Sinai Hospital due to"severe" physical damages.
Pauly Shore Addresses Playing Richard Simmons:The charges of assault against The Comedy Store aren't the only recent controversies surrounding Shore. After news broke that Shore would be playing Richard Simmons in an upcoming biopic, a role he's wanted to play for years, the exercise icon made a rare public statement disowning the film and noting that it didn't have his permission or blessing.
"My come from has always been love," Shore told Variety about the film."It's never been vindictive. I'm not Borat. I'm not 'let's make fun of someone.' It's the opposite. At this point, it's an unauthorized biopic and they're made every day. Yes, I want him to put his pixie dust on this and say, 'Go for it, Pauly.' It's Richard being Richard. It's sensitive. We don't want to bug him.
